Yes, definately wear the blouse.  I like the retro sixties feel to the blouse.  Are you going to wear it with pants or a skirt?

I think it's very pretty and would be fine for any age really!

I think it's pretty but you have to wear legging type bottoms with it as it seems long.  For me it would look too much like a dress, I'm 5'4"......so if you have the height and the proper bottoms to balance the look, go for it!   Age is just a number.

I am almost 73 and while it isn't my style of top I see no problem with a person of any age wearing it.

@crawford5153   I'm in my 80's - I'd wear that print in a flash if I saw it in a different style.  I do not consider my age a deterrent, but I feel that style just enlarges my already busty top.

Re: Honest opinion please

Since you're rethinking your fashion choices, it would be worth looking into Dressing Your Truth by Carol Tuttle (google it). It has helped a lot of women of all ages.

 

Clothes should represent who a person is, not what age they are. 

 

I'd pass on the top - it's a mash-up of color families (tint, tone, shade, hue), design lines and patterns and looks like someone couldn't make up their mind.

Any age can wear this, go for it.

The question is ... do you like it?  I don't see where it says "do not wear after 70" ... it wouldn't be for me because I don't like flutter sleeves, but that's me.

It covers the arms, tummy and backside.  I like the colors too.  It's better than old lady black.

 

If you feel good wearing it...go for it.  Your age should never stop you from being who you are.

 

 


 

 

"old lady black?"

black is always in at any age and for any look!
