Denim: An indispensable wardrobe addition.

No way - dark indigo jeans and a crisp white shirt - or Breton top - unbeatable!
With scarlet wedges, espadrilles or white trainers

Would I be right in thinking you are quite a bit younger than most of us FlyingHandbag ?
A mistake many older women make is to stick to “safe” pastels.

A few years but not quite a bit. Not pastels but I wear a lot of white and pink. I only wear dark jeans with dark colours. X

Oh my apologies.
When you said elsewhere that you lived with your parents I had put you down as being perhaps in your 40’s or 50’s at the most!

I’ve got about eight pairs of denim trousers in various styles, shades and states of repair (although NO slashes), but since this bloody Lock Down and Shielding I’ve put on weight and can’t get into any of them! Thank goodness for the hot weather as I can wear cut offs - denim ones with elasticated waists!

Don't be sorry! Hope you're well. X

I have never posted before so I am just practising. I've had many denim items over the years but don't really wear it now because I'm the wrong shape these days.

I really wanted to know if anybody knew any granny and baby groups in the LE17 area? But I'm not sure where or how to ask this.

I would post on Ask A Gran or Chat. X

Thank you @FlyingHandbag

Thank you @FlyingHandbag

You're welcome. X

I actually agree with Nanof3. Jeans can be stiff and rarely fit perfectly especially on older figures. Whereas cotton or linen trousers can look very smart.

This is getting ridiculous.

I wonder if FlyingHandbag is sad that Shoezone is closing down?

Flying ....there’s no need to put a x after every post?

Far too hot for denim jeans this week, that’s for sure ( unless you live on remote Scottish islands.) Time to break out the floaty dresses and shorts ( if you have the legs for them)?

Especially not at the moment while we're still self-distancing!!

About 12 years ago I bought a denim shirt in the US - it's been worn and washed many times and still looks good. I use it as cardigan/jacket with just a couple of buttons fastened, cuffs folded back, and match it with khaki/stone chinos and a white tank top - the overall look is stylish IMO.

In the same style of a denim jacket last year I bought an olive green fine cord jacket - again it goes with any type of trousers or over a dress.

I have some knee length light denim shorts I bought in a sale in Gap over 25 years ago , they are very soft and faded now and only good for the garden, but I still wear them every summer. May get them out today. Lucca my denim dress was from Uniqlo - it’s basically a shirt dress and was bought about 3 or 4 years ago and is really a staple in my wardrobe. Probably get similar in lots of shops.

Thanks

Not one bit... I hate that shop. X

It's a terrible habit I've picked up from texting. X

Wrong thread

FlyingHandbag putting a x after your posts is quite sweet! X

I actually like the washed look denim even at 70! (seventy and seventeen sound similar anyway)
