For me it was leggings. You look just great and appropriate in your Cons and blazer. As your eye adjusts and others like your new style, it gets easier most of the time. The only look that hasn't gone over well with friends my age is skinny jeans. I need to post pictures on the forum to see if there's anything wrong with what I'm doing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-old-for-converse#post-106459 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:04:46 +0000 Dawn 106459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your Cons! They look fab with the bootcuts. I personally love Converse in their multiplicity of colours and intend on buying red sequin low-top Converse with my new paycheck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-old-for-converse#post-106447 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:05:47 +0000 Lee Hovey 106447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yay! thanks for the quick pics! you look fabulous. Don't be self-conscious at all, go out looking and feeling proud, knowing you look marvelous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-old-for-converse#post-106409 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:36:45 +0000 LoP 106409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love those converse shoes with the boyfriend blazer you have. Great choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-old-for-converse#post-106352 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 08:41:21 +0000 Frenchie 106352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think there's an age when you shouldn't wear converse or anything that might look like a teenager garment/accessory. I guess it all depends on the way you create you outfit, and you look very good in this outfit, I actually think converse looks better with the bf blazer than with other shoes. </p> <p>I personnally prefer the straight legs but that's only because I love this kind of trousers. Both look pretty good on you. And I wouldn't say uou are too old to wear these outfit at all ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-old-for-converse#post-106348 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 07:42:42 +0000 Angie 106348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wonderful!

Yup. I see older women in Europe wear black and white all the time. Especially in Spain. As long as you stick to a classic Converse look, it’s going to work. I shall be wearing Converse till I’m 100. </p> <p>There is something to be said for a style of shoe that hasn’t changed in over 50 years and still looks KILLER. I like to support brands and looks like that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-old-for-converse#post-106233 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:04:54 +0000 medusa 106233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carole, please post photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-old-for-converse#post-106227 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 03:56:04 +0000 Lee Hovey 106227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!!

I also have a perforated white pair, but it doesn't get as much wear. I'd like a light grey pair. My sons can hardly believe their mom in Converse. I like them big enough to pop in some Dr. Scholl's insoles for more comfort. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-old-for-converse#post-106139 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:32:39 +0000 Carole 106139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Where have you guys been all my life?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-old-for-converse#post-106137 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:29:15 +0000 Lee Hovey 106137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think there is very little out there that you would appear too old for.

Definitely age appropriate. I also think the grey pair would look fabulous on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-old-for-converse#post-106084 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:33:24 +0000 Carole 106084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, San....won't my daughter be surprised when she comes home for Thanksgiving if I'm sporting a pair!...actually, I'm always looking for flat comfy shoes, so at least I know they will be in style...I've always been so conservative, afraid of making a fashion faux pau (sp)It is so wonderful to have a fashion support group! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-old-for-converse#post-106083 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:28:46 +0000 Anonymous 106083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic and I think you can wear converse easily. I don't see you in a bright pink pair, and my guess you also couldn't see that. I think you have fabulous taste. In seeing the picture I think a charcoal pair would look good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/too-old-for-converse#post-106080 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:23:30 +0000 Carole 106080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>After reading Shiney's great explanation today about boyfriend blazers, I'm wondering if I should take the chance on converse...my 20 year old daughter wears them...I'm 52...is there a color that would be better than others?<br /> This is me in my BF jacket....</p> <p><a href="http://i561.photobucket.com/albums/ss54/cagremillion/DSC03172.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i561.photobucket.com/al.....C03172.jpg</a> </p>
