you look great. compared to me you dress really conservatively (i don't mean i dress half naked but i dress oddly lol). as long as you feel good about what you are wearing. if you feel weird or that it's not right, then don't wear it. you aren't walking around with a sign over your head that says your age right?
A girl after my own heart!!
If you've got, flaunt it. People that dress like grandma, always dressed like grandma. The key to feeling and looking young is to stay immature. I am 62 and don't feel much different mentally than I did when I was 16. I don't do the same stupid things though.
There is such a thing as dressing too young for your age, but you don't do that. You look great in your clothes.
I get a lot of my clothes in thrift shops too. I bought a black suede blazer for 12.00 today at Goodwill. I didn't need it, but it looked sharp on me and I want to look sharp and hip even in my dotage.
So go for it. We are all going to be dead a long time, so you might as well have what you want and enjoy what you can while you can.

You look great in all of the photos that you posted. I have some outfits very similar to the ones you are wearing, and I am pushing 40 myself. LOL. I have lots of dress and leggings outfits because I love to sport my boots. When I was heavy I couldn't find boots to fit my calves. Now, I have oh 6 pairs of boots in various colors. Ha.
There is a such thing as dressing too young for your age, but you are definitely not guilty of that from what I see. I have been out walking in the mall with my son who is 19, and he has pointed someone out and said if you ever go out dressed like that girl's mom I would not be seen with you. So, I do try really hard to dress appropriately while still being hip and fashionable. I would hate for my son to be embarassed to be seen with me. LOL.
Looking good, girl! Congrats on your success!

Yuo know you look hot and I don't see an issue with anything you wear. Now I wouldn't wear those outfits but thats just me.

I turned 57 back in December and I would wear all the cloths you have on. The only thing I can't wear are capris because I'm so darn short. It would make my legs look tree stumps. When I was back home for Christmas, I was able to get somethings from my beautiful petite 23 year old niece. It's the kind of sweaters that aren't geared for 18 year old.
