I considered a onesie too. If it gets really cold this winter I might succumb. 

My daughter & I have similar dress sense. We live in different parts of the UK and have occasionally bought same jumpers/tops as each other. She's worried she's dressing as an auld wifey & I'm worried I'm dressing as a 30 something.

I only own one beige thing, a pair of slim fit jeans.  I'm going to wear more layers in the Autumn as I'm going to put off putting the heating on for as long as possible, because once it goes on tht will be it. Our fuel bills last winter were ridicules.

I've got a onesie, and a velour tracksuit 

I do have smart clothes too though, time and a place for everything.  I dont own a single beige or grey item of clothing.

Get eyebrows, lip and chin threaded every 3 weeks

Shave elsewhere as and when.

Hair cut every 8 weeks (fringe more often) and dye it when needed.  I aim for reddish brown, or purply brown

Always cleanse and remove make up

Use good quality make up

Eat well, exercise and try to get out in the fresh air daily with dog.

Keep up with the news

Socialise with friends.  Think this is one of the most important things you can do.

I think if I did not work things would slide as I only dress well and wear make up for work or occasional nights out.  I sit in the evening in velour bottoms, t-shirt and fleece if cold.  I like getting ready for work and wearing perfume, jewellery and a bit of make up, it does make me feel feminine - don't make the same effort at the weekend.  I do get my hair trimmed every 6 wks and colour it to keep the grey away.  I pluck eyebrows and shave legs, underarms and bikini area.  I have plucked moustache for big occasions but don't want to make the fine hairs stronger so am trying to resist now.  I only have one beige piece of clothing and it's a sleeveles long jumper which I feel is quite trendy on top of a dark long sleeved top in winter.

Hello, what are eccos I've never heard of them?

They are sensible shoes I think.

I don't like sensible shoes...no doubt my feet would but I like ones that look good and kill my feet.

Add hairy toes to the list of things developing to make me feel less womanly    Oh joy - what next?

Ariadne - you mention crepy hands in your opening post. That is currently the 'thing' that is making me feel old! Have you seen what happens to them under a high-powered hand drier such as in public toilets. It makes my hands look like I'm 80 not 50.

Managed to avoid beige to date but do have quite a bit of grey clothing - but that was me trying to avoid wearing too much black and looking like an ageing Goth 

[Joyce]

Until I looked just now I thought they were old lady, sensible shoes. Now maybe they've progressed over the years, but some are actually not bad. Or maybe I'm turning into an old lady. 

[ariadne]

I haven't noticed the hand drier effect and now I'm determined not to look in future! 

CG - it's a bit like those little shopping booklets that come in the Sunday papers - I always used to think they were full of rubbish ideas but now I find myself thinking how useful some of those things look

I also make sure I keep up the regime of colouring, plucking, waxing etc.  but do like to slob out at weekends with no make-up, hair in upsy, braless (oh the relief...those wires are like torture).  I've no idea what the real colour of my hair is anymore but don't want to find out!

[Elena]

mmmmmmmmm sensible comfy shoes. I wonder if I will EVER feel ready for them 

Yes, those little magazines ARE full of useful stuff I agree

[Taz2]

i didn't feel ready from them but my feet and my pelvic floor did 

[Hurdity]

Hey - comfy shoes don't have to look sensible though!

I mean I am sure some of you wear canvas type lace-up shoes/pumps in the summer with shorts and cut-offs etc? I think they look quite normal and worn by all ages!

Well - I have some ECCO ones just like this!!!!!! . They look like the converse type canvas ones but in fact are leather with unbelievable soft shaped inner bit so are really really comfy. I bought them in their sale because I got fed up of aching feet when I went on city break type hols - tramping around miles and miles all day on hard ground. They are brill and really I don't look like an old woman in them!!!

Not sure about in winter though....
