If you don't feel comfident enough to show your legs, darker colours, darker tights and a long coat can cover a multitude of sins. I'm not in the mood for dark colours, but I like a long coat, cardigan or waistcoat over a minidress and totally recommend this kind of layering (which adds covering and comfort). I usually wear some pettipants which look totally like shorts, so I don't care too much when I sit or bend. Because comfort is first!.
Me he estado poniendo algunas minifaldas y minivestidos, tal como suelo hacer en invierno cuando las medias gruesas son mi uniforme diario. Incluso me he puesto estas túnicas como minivestidos, aunque anteriormente sólo me las había puesto con leggings. Totalmente inapropiado para mi edad, puedo afirmar (si a alguien todavía le importan esas cosas). Pero estaba estrenando medias de rayas, así que nada de hacerse la discretita.
Si no os sentís cómodas enseñando pierna, siempre se puede elegir colores más oscuros, medias más oscuras y un abrigo largo para cubrirlo todo. Yo no estoy de humor para tanta oscuridad, pero sí que me gusta el efecto de un abrigo, chaqueta o chaleco sobre un vestido más corto, es una superposición que funciona y hace la vida más cómoda. Y también llevo unas enaguas debajo, que parecen unos shorts, así que no me preocupo demasiado cuando me siento o me agacho. Poque la comodidad es lo primero.
I tried these shoes (by Tuk) at home, just for fun. I always wear my sneakers for my real life (and walks) but still keep some shoes that I only can wear for a short walk.

I love those stript tights with both mini dresses! You've got a cracking pair of legs and they ought to be shown off.
ResponderEliminarI love that coral necklace and I'm always happy to see your lovely face! xxx
Thank you for your compliment, opaques are fab and make me feel comfident.
EliminarGlad you like this necklace, is a favourite of mine!. As we have to wear a mask when outdoors, nobody has seen my face for months, which is becoming so strange.

fabulous stripey tights!! and the tuk shoes are cool!
ResponderEliminaryou styled two gorgeous outfits - the one with the black/white dress is my favorite.... love that op-art print.
in my book wearing mini - or shorts - has nothing to do with age - its all about HOW. you rock it!
beautiful bangles and fab zick-zack coat!
xxxx
Lovely that you also like this kind of op-art print, I'm a huge fan of them!.
EliminarTotally agree about mini skirts, it's all about attitude!

Both your legs and those fun striped tights - which are very you, by the way - deserve to be shown off, so what better way than to wear mini dresses! I love both your outfits! The first one, with all the pink, provides a welcome splash of colour on a Winter's day. But your second outfit, with its monochromes and pops of red, is my favourite. Age appropriate? No such thing! You just wear what makes you feel good! Lovely to see your face, by the way! Besos xxx
ResponderEliminarGlad that you like the monochromes and red combo, I think it's a classic!
EliminarI've never believed in such thing as age appropriate, I totally agree that wearing whatever you love is the appropriate thing!

Oh, screw anyone who thinks it's inappropriate for us to wear minis! You look amazing in this, and I LOVE those striped tights so much! Both of your outfits are delightful, but I think the black and white one wins for me. Your head shot is excellent, I can see your beautiful face.
ResponderEliminarGlad that you like these striped tights, I've been in search of them for ages!. I'm happy with them now as they're more versatile tan expected.
EliminarAll we are missing to see human faces in public, as we have to wear a mask when outdoors, and it's feeling more and more strange. Taking a selfie is my way to fight this feeling!
besos
You are looking very pretty in pink and I love the mini-dress with tights and cardigan. I'm also loving your black and white ensemble with the red accents and that fabulous coral necklace. The Mary Janes by Tuk are gorgeous! I'm always happy to see your lovely face and say hello to Mr A for me.

Lovely that you like these outfits, and my mary janes! Actually I can't walk in them for a long time, but still keep them and wear them for a short walk.
EliminarThanks for your comment, Mr.A. say hello to you too!

I have always preferred shorter skirts in the winter layered over warm tights or leggings. I keep my longer skirts for the summer as I have a lot of spider veins on my ankles that show up very well against my white skin! Love the black and white outfit accessorized with red - definitely one of my favourite combinations; stripes and polka dots for the win!
ResponderEliminarMost of us, matured ladies, have to deal with those spider veins or varicose veins in my case. So I'm glad there are some fab opaques nowadays!. Sometimes my ugly veins are visible when it's damn hot in the summer and I wear my most comfy clothes, but I think that confort is first.
EliminarI knew you like some black&white graphic prints and monochromatic ensembles, Great Minds!
besos
You look great in short skirts! Like you I only wear them with opaque tights. Those stripy ones look fantastic paired with your spotty dress.
