Like many, I have developed an individual dress sense and enjoy to dress in my own style. I am now over 60 years of age (it’s a shock that I’ve made it this far !!) and have not only matured in my age, but also in my style.

| Goodwood Revival Vintage Style |
I have a passion for 1950’s fashion and find that the elegance and grace of the era carries on into modern times as a timeless style that fit into just about any occasion. Styles from Lindy-Bop are among my favorite. Hobble dresses and ‘A’ line flared dresses have never really gone out of style and mid calf fitted dresses portray a semi-formal appearance that is chic and classy, whilst maintaining practicality and elegance. Ok. They are a bit formal to wear shopping for food, but fine for other social situations.

| A Few of My Irregular Choice Shoes |
My favorite shoes are from the ‘irregular choice’ range, whose designs are wacky yet practical and are not shrinking violets or boring black. However I also have a problem in that I had a motorcycle accident in my younger years that has left me with a tendency to walk on the outside of my foot, so tend to ruin the heels very quickly by wearing them down on one side which quickly becomes very un-elegant when walking. I have to have my favorite shoes re-heeled regularly to keep my feet flat and heels in line with my legs otherwise they can quickly start to lean. Wedges and wider heels tend to reduce this affect, I still have a large section of narrow heels that I love and wear often. Shoe makers like ‘Hush-Puppies’ are great for the wider heels and so are ‘Ruby Shoo’. When I was at school, Hush-Puppies were the dreaded shoes that your mother bought you to wear. They were practical and hard wearing, not stylish in any way. Now all that has changed. They provide a range that is comfortable and stylish in a range of modern colors, whilst still being practical shoes for every occasion.

| My Dresses Being Worn - With Nicky Stevens |
(.........And we haven’t even touched on hair and makeup!)
Nice article, Dawn, and very well written. A good reminder for us mature ladies, although my problem is, and maybe it is not a problem, I think younger than I really am, which sometimes results in wearing clothing more suitable for a woman in her 40s.
Great advice for living and passing without incident especially when out in public
Love it Dawn! I have a weakness for Phase Eight myself.
Hello Dawn, thank you for your lovely article. I am 75 and live in the city pictured behind you in your Summer Day Wear photo. I live on my own, but am quite independent, and only fully discovered my fem self about 7 years ago. So I love to dress, and am able to do it whenever I'm with my friends (less often at the moment, obviously!). However, I would love to meet other girls in a simlar position, just so that I don't feel quite so "isolated". I see you live in Cornwall, which is not too far away. I' wonder if we might message, with a view perhaps to meeting at some stage. I am not looking for a relationship of any kind, just the pleasure of making friends and sharing an important part of myself... Best wishes

Hi Robyn
Lovely to hear from you and nice to meet you
Please feel free to PM me and we’ll have a chat about things.
There is a very good support group in the Exeter area that you may find helpful - there are a lot of lovely people who meet there once a month as well as arranging outing and meals in the city ... they meet at the Clyst St George village hall meeting is every 2nd Friday of the month.
Hope that helps

Your always look so nice, what is your hopes.
Wonderful article, it felt like I was listening to a good mentor!!
Beautiful photos!!
Totally agree that style is about finding what "suits you", your tastes, your build, what's around you, how you feel, and some practicality.
It has to be intriguing dresssing as we get older, as times change, and the fashion spectrum expands. Leggings are a great example. I know some women in their 60s who absolutely won't wear them, others in that same age group who style them well with tops/dresses, and women so much younger that make them beautiful/normal/hideous, and all from a day people watching at the mall.
