What does dress your age really mean????

Beige = sand, fawn, cream, buff, ecru, stone, biscuit, taupe, camel, all of which look better with black or navy than white.

Mrs G has some beige spray-on trousers from Gap. They suit her.

And lots of other vibrant colours such as turquoise, burnt orange, even red

There some rather stylish crocs about these days. I posted a pic of a pair I bought this summer and you wouldn't know they're crocs unless you see the name stamped on the sole. Very comfortable too, barely know you're wearing them. I walked miles in them on holiday, no sore feet or blisters and they were brand new on

I suppose so. I do look at people and think 'my god, what a state!', but I don't let it cloud my judgement on the kind of person they are though.

Just because someone's covered in tattoos for example (which I don't mind), I don't automatically think 'thug!'. I might not like what a person wears, but this is just personal preference, I don't judge a persons personality on their clothes.

That's commendable but IMO easier said than done. There's a lot of research about job interviews that suggests that the first few minutes are essential. So, before anyone has spoken enough to demonstrate the kind of person they are judged by their appearance. Also, while it's not foolproof, the way someone dresses/presents themselves can tell you a lot about them.

I've got a pair of Footglove court shoes with heels left over from my working days but I wouldn't call them HEELS.

The ones I wear are a good 3" so not stilettos by any stretch, but they have slim heels which look smart and which are comfortable for all day wear and walking in.

ugh! I couldn't stand having my toes separated like that. It's making me clench my toes now just looking at the picture! Can't imagine anything more uncomfortable.

Even though I do wear flip flops. But that's just one toe post.

My brother has a pair of those, hes a PT, he loves them

Its flip flops I cant stand wearing.

Don't malign the Footgloves - where would we be without them?

I don't malign footgloves ....it's just that I wish I could still wear some of the other luvverly shoes around - but sigh.........I should have listened to me muvver and worn "sensible" shoes instead of the winkle-picker stilettos that I used to prance around in from the age of 15 or so .....talk about rocking the night away and then walking 6 miles home in them :rotfl:...

Then of course there were the "kinky boots" which I wore whilst pregnant, followed by the platformed soled shoes (think glam rock!) - again whilst pregnant - then the vertiginous high-heels whilst working in the city (and old enough to know better ) ...no wonder I suffered a couple of broken ankles/torn ligaments and now have to resort to orthotics in footgloves for work!!

Still ....I can still look at lovely shoes - a very non-MSE confession now - but when I win the lottery (and I do mean WHEN!) I'm going to indulge in my passion for shoes by buying all the shoes I would love to wear and just displaying them!!!
