I'm ready to embrace my age and look what I am- a middle aged mom. No, I'm not ready to look like a 60 year old granny but only because I'm NOT a 60 year old granny. If I were (and when I am) I'll be ok with that too. Love your blog and your style.Kit1934https://www.blogger.com/profile/08226007971922651263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203434263568099440.post-56113840249809742582013-06-06T14:57:24.449+02:002013-06-06T14:57:24.449+02:00You both look lovely, not like grannies.

Au contraire, c'est une robe fraîche, parfaite pour le printemps...<br />Mais c'est vrai qu'en vintage, avec les robes 40's ou 50's certaines coupes ou coloris sont un peu "durs" quelquefois, et peuvent donner un coup de vieux à la silhouette... Après, tout est dans les accessoires, comme tu le dis et le fais si bien, pour dédramatiser la tenue et lui redonner un coup de jeune ! <br /><br />Au fait, bon anniversaire !<br /><br />Biz ;-)Solennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15754193225698694057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203434263568099440.post-62205570472709790912013-05-31T08:38:49.525+02:002013-05-31T08:38:49.525+02:00I think vintage can make a person look older, but ...I think vintage can make a person look older, but the two of you look terrific and don't look "old" at all. I think the fit has a lot to do with it. Especially if it is too big and loose, a person can look like they are playing dress up. I like the more feminine look like this floral dress you are wearing and I agree the well coordinated accessories keep it from any possibility of looking dowdy. I know many vintage wearers go for the sexy tight-fitting looks, but that comes with problems too. It can look very cheap and costumy, instead of classy and sophisticated.Chrissy88https://www.blogger.com/profile/09129212920783317786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203434263568099440.post-11060458913887394652013-05-31T06:48:45.809+02:002013-05-31T06:48:45.809+02:00I wish my grandma would look like this! :)I wish my grandma would look like this! :)Anne von beswingtes Allerleihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03880212646017179840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203434263568099440.post-57042304103182529132013-05-31T01:31:29.164+02:002013-05-31T01:31:29.164+02:00I think the dress looks tip top on you!

I think it's all what we accept it to be. I have a beautiful 30's coat that my husband calls "grandma" but I don't care because it is beautiful and well tailored. These women took time on their appearance. I'm with you on the Hawaii theme. I don't want to jump on the band wagon and I feel like I've reached an age where shoulderless dresses are difficult for me to wear so I have to look for a happy medium. I'm sure there is a lovely tropical dress out there just calling my name, right after I clean out some of my closet just like you:))Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439393534029787165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203434263568099440.post-13568732648357627262013-05-31T00:09:40.645+02:002013-05-31T00:09:40.645+02:00I think the dress is lovely and you always make be...I think the dress is lovely and you always make beautiful outfits using your accessories.
