I'm here. I will post some NAS keepers after they arrive and also what I'm wearing to my 50th high school reunion, once I figure that out. Right now, I'm wearing my kimono from World Market and sipping coffee after traveling hither and yon.

Always Trying, who are you referring too? Can you remember the posters names?

Joy turns 70 in a few weeks and she posts outfits very frequently. And I look forward to seeing YOU post again too.

I'll be 56 in a few weeks but rarely if ever post a WIW. Hopefully will overcome all the angst around that at one point

OK, I am 61 and have been really bad lately about WIW posts. I have been in a funk lately but will try to do better.

Joy, you're not old! You're one of the youngest looking 70 year olds I know. I always enjoy your WIW's.

I'm 60+. I have yet to post a WIW, though. Must buy a full-length mirror, as climbing onto the tub would probably result in me breaking something.

I'm here - just not posting much lately. I have been on a fashion hiatus pretty much all summer and not working a lot so not needing to be dressed up. The only thing I wear lately is my yoga gear

Lisa YLF is one of the things in my life that energises me and feeds my soul xx

Just want to add, I find myself more often than not, looking at the style of women my own age or older for inspiration, so I love seeing outfits from the 50+ crowd here.

I'm 51! Here and accounted for. Am I an older lady? I don't really think of myself that way but strictly speaking I guess I qualify.

When precisely are you an older lady?

Another 51...quickly approaching 52! My daughter would say I qualify as an "older lady". My son took to his training better and would call me a "not so old lady".

I may have to admit to being older at 53, but I'm not always a lady

Mid 50s here but my white hair boosts my AQ (age quotient). I've been meaning to post pics of my contrast hair extensions before they grow out too much. But post-vacation re-entry has made mornings a challenge. Will try to get it together soon.

Oh and Angie, I'm guessing Always Trying is referring to this absolutely brilliant thread Gaylene started, which may have been while you were on vacation. It deserves a bump. Much wisdom here. http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....tyle-dowdy

How old is old? I just turned 54, and while my DDs think I'm old, I don't feel old.

Aliona-yes that is the thread I was referring to. My being "old" means I am so old that i can no longer wear anything without sleeves, and I hate that when it is hot. another problem is my knees. legs not too bad, but the wrinkled knees bother me. just deciding since thighs don't have celluite I will probably wear shorts that are a few inches above my knees in really hot weather.

I am going to start a thread about body parts we need to cover up and why, so I wanted to see if there were any more of oldsters on here. we have discussed foot problems a lot and other fit issues, but I am interested in specific issues we may have as we age.

Oh, the KNEES. I'm a bit younger than you, always trying, but I really don't care for my knees. It's frustrating. Midi skirts help but I do need to wear shorts.

Ha, I've never really been able to wear short lengths even in my teens, 20's, 30's or 40's. Enter 50 and nothing's changed. I still have that exaggerated overhang above my knee, varicose veins, and lots of big muscles. Not the most attractive in short skirts. Oh well! I Dow whatever I want regardless except at work where a slight amount of decorum is called for. (Slight!)

Oh, I definitely don't think 50 is old, even though my hair is turning grey.

I am 5 weeks shy of 60. I do not post WIW very often because I mostly wear Yoga clothes and dog walking clothes.
