I spotted the most stylish woman I'd seen all week. She was easily in her late 70s or early 80s, with Vivienne Westwood coloured hair, a nice black and cream print blouse with an asymmetrical discreet bow teemed with a fab bright red pencil skirt. She had sheer tights with nice pale courts and a typical old ladies handbag, i.e. a proper one before we went large and it bag.
I was a bit worried if I had had the courage to grab and snap her that she might have thought I was
a) taking the mickey or
b) being patronising
But she truly was the most stylish lady, young or old I'd seen all week and at Tesco! I love it when you see people who grow old naturally and with aplomb.
Given I haven't got the requisite street style snap I give you Dame Westwood.
Will you grow old gracefully and stylishly or opt for enhancement?
She sounds gorgeous and so is Viv. As you must know, I will be going for the Victorian Crazy Old Woman in the Attic effect. More Jane Eyre than Miss Haversham.
ReplyDeleteHi there-wow, that's a shame you couldn't get her picture, I hope to be suitably stylish and eccentric with my clothes as I get older!!
ReplyDeleteGosh I never see stylish people at Tesco, just tracksuits and bad hair.
ReplyDeletesuch a shame you did not get a snap of her, she sounds chic! I will opt to age gracefully :)

Sounds very chic! The best fashion I see in my local Tesco is an old guy every few weeks in full Scottish kilt, sporran, socks etc...
ReplyDeleteI love it when I see older people looking great, it always makes my day.
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm going to be complete nipped and tucked!
ReplyDeleteYou'd be surprised (I know I was), people love having their photograph taken. She was stylin' and would have appreciated someone noticing.
ReplyDeleteI'll let nature takes it course, ain't nothing more upsetting than a man whose been sliced and diced...Yes, Burt I'm talkin' to you!
I have no idea what kind of older lady I'll be, but I wonder about it almost constantly.
ReplyDeleteI hope I age gracefully but chances are I'll turn into some eccentric cat lady that hoards newspapers and wears my dead husband's slippers to the shops!
ReplyDeleteWhatever I do, I promise I won't start wearing pastels, polo shirts and saddle shoes.
ReplyDeleteOh graceful and stylish all the way! (Unless I go another route...)
ReplyDeleteI kinda like the idea of disgracefully stylish! Your old bird sounds delightful, maybe you'll run into her again? xx
