I wanted to do a piece on trends. But I thought, rather than originate a new list, I’d use and personalise one from whowhatwear.com. This is one of my favourite blogs for great images, shopping links and current trend editorial. There’s a lot on the list though, so I will add to the blog one trend at a […]

Ex-Con seen in Vans
posted by lifeaswewearit
My friend Uli once told me a story about her teenage son. She had asked him if she looked too old to be wearing something. He answered that she looked fine, but the thing he thought was really embarrassing was ‘old people’ (so, I’m guessing, anyone over 30) wearing Converse shoes. I must admit, it did […]

Mary-Jane not just an Olsen
posted by lifeaswewearit
Vogue has decreed it, Mary-Janes are officially a trend. Except we don’t really have trends any more, Anna said so. When she spoke to Style.com in Paris after the a/w 15/16 shows she explained designers were sticking to their personal vision rather than trying to pre-empt a broader design zeitgeist. “I personally think it’s a wonderful […]

My Gucci Chloe Bag
posted by lifeaswewearit
One of the best things about being old? You don’t have to hunt down vintage designer items, you just pull out the first one you ever bought. In my case, in 1997. So, when I started noticing the Chloe Drew bag I had a little deja vu. (Which was fortunate as I certainly didn’t have […]

Mid/Life/’Slashie’
posted by lifeaswewearit
I love this quote. I need to remind myself of it every time I worry that I’m too old, too invisible, too late to do something. (Not so much wear something, I’m pretty good at staying in touch with my inner thirty year old). So I guess it’s a good quote to introduce my first post […]

Maxed Out

Originally posted on lifeaswewearit:
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 […]

Can’t touch this
posted by lifeaswewearit
Yesterday I posted an outfit that was a bit of a departure from my usual, so this time I thought I’d ping right back to something more comfortable. Literally, as well as stylistically, as I am nothing if not inclined to comfort. Today is an ode to the harem/mchammer/low crutch pant that is so well […]

New clothes, new look.
posted by lifeaswewearit
My Friend Uli has been waiting for me to post some of my outfits from a recent holiday in US. Except that I didn’t take those sort of pics. So I thought I’d post this one, as it’s of an outfit I bought there. As well as being a bit of a segue from my […]
