I think the maxi is a hard to wear stylish look – whatever your age. Particularly hard to wear with anything other than a sandal or a sneaker and get the proportions right. I sort of feel the same about a wide legged trouser. But it can be such great comfort…

Bike Shorts are for Bikes
posted by lifeaswewearit
This is unforgivable. Karl was there in the 80’s, so he knows as well as I do that the biker short under long top/dress/peplum should never be seen again. Yet horror upon horror, there they were, on his catwalk just last week. Sure, they do get around the dress is too short as a dress, […]

Look at me, I’m dungareed
posted by lifeaswewearit
I felt a little self conscious when I put these dungarees on this morning (for the first time, they only arrived, via ebay and Spain, yesterday). Surprisingly it wasn’t so much an ‘am I too old for these?’ moment, more a ‘is this too much of a look?’ moment. I’ve been getting these moments a […]

Source: witanddelight.com I have another post half written that bemoans the dreariness of dressing in winter. I’ll have to keep that for another day, because I found this gorgeous homage to the winter scarf on another’s blog, via pinterest (obsessed!). I love every look. Ironically, winter in Sydney this year is lucky to be mistaken […]

Age Old Fashion Rules
posted by lifeaswewearit
I’m watching ‘What Not To Wear’ (re-runs) and I’m inspired to put my own list together. With the build that I’m thinking WNTW when you’re on the wrong side of the fashion industry – say, 40 plus (that’s age, not dress size, although neither sides are where a fashion editor’s head is at I’m sure). Unlike […]
