What does dress your age really mean????

I like the skechers tone up shoes... Regardless of whether they work or not I have just got to like the feel of them! Have got some trainers of those and 2 pairs of boots, one calf length, one short.

have lost some weight recently and spent rather too much on some new clothes I'm not at my target yet (by a long shot) but I'm getting there.

I'm currently a size 14 and will wear skinny jeans and boots if I want to

I dress quite casually (sahm) usually t shirts and jeans or hoodies. I am trying to smarten up a bit and just bought a nice wool coat in the sale (£55 down from £185) but it is so thick and heavy I am wondering if I will ever be able to wear it as we do a lot of walking and it'll be far too warm for that :rotfl:

I'm not 30 yet (and I don't own a beige cardi!) but am coming round to OHs way of thinking that it's better to spend a bit more on things that will last than to end up spending loads in primark on things that won't last and look terrible (his words). And that one hoodie isn't enough because a) I end up wearing it until it's really dirty and looking a scruff and b) they get washed to death really quickly that way!

I got some sandal versions of those, need to get some winter versions too, as I like the feel too.

I'm now worried.

I own.....Converse..Ugg boots.....Rockports....Birkenstocks....Nike trainers.....Sketchers trainers.....and some FitFlops (among others)

At the age of 46......should i give up now?

All hope is not lost though......I will NEVER own a pair of Crocs!:rotfl:

Which comment fits my image of you perfectly.;)

Which is? I'm not sure I have a particular "image" as denoted by my usename and my UGG boots are just one of probably 200+ pairs of footwear I currently own, and alternate between depending on mood/occasion

Nope lol.
As the sensible folk among us have already said, each to their own and if you are comfy/happy in them, then so be it!

I paid less than £100 for mine 5 years ago (MSE bargain) and I have no doubt they will last another 5yrs, so I'd call that rather good value for money, don't you think?

Surely that depends on how often you wear them?

Where do you keep them all?
I have under 50 pairs of shoes/boots/trainers/sandals etc, and they take up far too much room, even stored in sensible plastic tubs (categorized per style lol).
I often feel guilty about having that many pairs when some people have none (but that's a whole other thread I suppose!).

I think it may be in reference to a post you made earlier :cool::cool:.

Yep, that comment fits the image as well.

ETA

Although it certainly explains why your Uggs last so well.

Yes, I often feel guilty too, especially when I find I've duplicated styles/colours because I'd forgotten about the ones I'd originally bought

They're under the bed, on top of wardrobes, stacked in the spare room and even in the shed/garden office. I keep saying I'm going to sell some as many are still unworn :rotfl:

I keep mine together, and only ever buy more than one very similar pair if I think one pair is getting past it's best, or if it is a comfy style in a different shade. That said I often get my shoes in sales, or buy new shoes second hand (not ones that have been worn really though), so I don't spend loads.
