Age appropriate?

Ang

I wore a version of this outfit on a first date. Does it make me look like I am trying too hard? I'm 47 and feel 35, but I don't want to look like I am trying to compete with my 22 year old daughter!!
Help!

I think it's just fine. There's nothing cutesy or little-girly about it, nor is there too much skin being flashed. I would have no problem seeing somebody 70 dressed like that.

If it is not tight, short, or overly cute I think everything is age appropriate. And come on, 47 is the old 25!
Great outfit!

I am 49 and would wear that outfit. I think it looks perfect for a first date. Together but not trying too hard at all.

How was the date?

Oh perfect. It looks like you have kept up with style and haven't disappeared with age. I think that is a perfect signal to send on a first date! Hope it went well. Gosh I hate dating.

No worries, you look great in that outfit. It's stylish yet modest, but with the addition of sexy red peep toes. The outfit suggests that you are a grown-up woman who also has a sense of fun. (A woman can always splash out on her shoes, no matter her age). The outfit you have on is similar to what I might wear for an evening out with my husband or friends, and I'm 40, so same ballpark as you.

I think this is first-date-perfect. There is nothing here that reads 'too young'. I know the anxiety about dating and finding the perfect outfit that sends the right signals, etc. After a first date where I realized I had NO decent date clothes-only casual- and had to borrow a top from my daughter(!) I got really serious about my wardrobe and joined this site. Once I found the right pieces, I made sure to wear them in non-date situations, just so I was comfortable with the outfit. I'll do anything to lessen first date anxiety!. Hope you enjoyed your date!

I'm more than a decade older than you and I would wear an outfit like that, no problem.
You look great!
