Oh, my dear, 47 is so young! This look was MADE for women of all ages.

Have a look at this post:

I am a 47 year mom ( with small children ) and a size 6 and I fell in love with skinny jeans last year. I also thought at first I was too old. There is no such thing !!! Promise me you won't wear a midriff shirt and you will be a such a hip grandma !!!!!

Having a grandchild, I think, doesn't really change who you are or how you dress if you are already dressing appropriately. Trust your instinct. I am so excited for you !

You go girl !

Just because your kids are old enough to have kids doesn't make you old! My baby sister Debbie is a 47-year-old grandma and she is SO stylish.

True story: a friend of Debbie's was trying on a new look and her 16-year-old daughter said, "Mom, who do you think you are, DEBBIE ROGERS?"

My oldest friend recently had her FIRST baby at 50. She thinks of herself as a hip young mom.

It is very possible to be hip *and* age-appropriate. You are definitely going in the right direction. It will be fun!

I am older than you. Not a grandma, but a step-grandma, and also mom of a young child.

I wear skinnies (when I can find them to fit...a whole other story.)

This is a super-practical look for a grandma. Or for anyone! So definitely, go for it!

I just turned 51, am not a grandma, am not a size 6, and I rocked my skinnies and boots today. I love the look, and I bet you'll look terrific.

Welcome to the Forum, Laural. I'm in my mid 60's and love wearing skinnies, tunic and boots or booties . It did take a bit of adjusting to get used to the idea but you will probably find this a flattering outfit
