😱 Call the fashion police! A woman over 50 in a mini skirt 😱😱. A woman with boobs bigger than a D cup wearing a polo neck 😱😱😱. Two cardinal style sins committed, two fashion rules broken and...absolutely zero shits given. It took me a while, but if there’s one thing I’ve learned about feeling good in your clothes, it’s that the only rules which count are your own 😁. I see so many amazing 😘 women 😘 rocking so many great looks on Insta. And those who like they are having the most fun (and fashion should surely be fun), are the rule breakers and the non-conformists. Here’s to us! #styleover50 #ageisjustanumber Top | @newlook Esprit (current) Skirt | @newlook (current) Boots | @riverisland (old)

It’s ❤️ THAT ❤️ shirt again. This time paired with my beloved Wedgies and surprisingly easy to walk in boots. Ok, I didn’t have to run for a bus, but I did walk to the car and back for a lunch meeting! #over50style #whatiwore Shirt | @zara (current) Jeans | @levis_uk (current) Boots | @zara (current)

Party time 🎉🎉🎉. Thanks to everyone who persuaded me the skirt was right for tonight! Have a lovely Saturday night 😘 Skirt - Zara (current) Cami - Whistles (ancient) Top - Autograph (ancient) Heels - Primark (ancient) #partytime #outout

Still ❤️❤️ leopard print, but this shirt dials it down a little and makes a change from the traditional brown and black. It’s a steal at £25. Size down #50plusblogger #leopardisaneutral

Have you ever seen a dress, bought it, ✅✅ confident you’ve made the right choice. And then tried it on two weeks later and thought: ‘I look like a Christmas elf!’ 😱❎. Black tie do tomorrow night. I was planning on wearing this perfectly lovely dress. But now it seems, well, wrong. And elf-like. So I have panic-bought a @zara sequinned skirt. In two sizes. With no idea what to wear with it (see Stories). So unlike me to dither 🤨. Not. I will post what I choose tomorrow. Back to my desk! I have a 5 of my best buys in November blog post to write. #mydiamondshoesaretootight #partywearpanic

Top tip for coated jeggings and faux leather trousers - go up a size ✅✅. Real leather loosens naturally with wear. And unless you like a spray-on latex effect, a slightly looser fit is more flattering. It also leaves room for mince pies 🥧😁. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Shirt @ (old) Jeggings @newlook Boots @riverisland (old)

Monochrome ✔️and high-waisted. ✔️. My two Black Friday purchases...the perfect high-waisted Wedgie jeans half price from @laredoute as recommended by @shartyn and a zebra print belt from @giftpopboutique 🦓. I treated myself to the leopard print version last year and love it. As soon as Hannah announced her money off deal, I was on it...and the belt arrived the next day. Great service. Amazing belt. 🦓🖤🦓🖤

💙 My happy place by the Dorset sea. I can’t believe I swam at this spot just three weeks ago. Yesterday, I was very thankful for my beloved camel 🐪 coat, which I have worn every day since I splashed out 💛🧡💛🧡. Sometimes investing in a classic makes sense. This @hush cashmere leopard print scarf seemed really expensive a few years ago, but it never lets me down 🐆😘🐆 #investinstyle #sorrynotsorry

🖤 Sometimes you just have to ignore those little critical voices telling you that 51 is too old to wear a faux leather mini skirt. If it feels good (and Daughter Still At Home isn’t making vomiting noises) - then I’m doing it 🖤#ageisjustanumber #50plusblogger

Good To Know

As well as buying items and services featured in my blog, I am lucky enough to be sent samples and given gifts by brands. I accept only those I genuinely like and believe in or which I want to trial and report back on. I always clearly mark anything I’ve been sent or commercial activity within posts. In the spirit of How To Wear Well (ie not being an ass) my opinions are not swayed by having been given something rather than having paid for it.
