A few times I saw her in her work clothes, a business suit and I almost couldn't tell it was the same woman....she looked much better.


Take a look thru some of these pictures, I'm sure many of them dressed in what makes them happy...

But if your friend is happy, why should it matter? In 30 years your friend will be dead. Let het dress in what she wants while she's here. Unless a nipple is showing or today's fashion choice is a swastika painted over her face I can't see why she should be required to change things up to be inappropriately invisible.

Maybe I just think differently. If I was still sporting a mullet, porn stash, bell bottoms and a shirt with the first three buttons undone to show my huge gold Italian horn medallion I'd really hope my wife would pull me aside and show me some different clothing, and hairstyle ideas so I could improve on my style. Myself, when I leave the house I want to look the best I can.

I know...I get that...I want to know too if I'm doing something way beyond the pale that I'm not realizing, and ^ these ^ things wouldn't be my choice either. But I mean I don't get whom such a person is hurting and I feel like this woman PROBABLY knows most women in their 50s don't wear Forever 21 stuff and is making the choice anyway. So she's happy. Plus I don't really equate Forever 21 clothes with such extreme fashion faux pas as you describe there...more that some people would think it was age inappropriate, not that it was an outlandish utter fashion fiasco.

JMO. You live once. When I'm put in my coffin I don't people weeping approvingly from their kerchiefs, "I will never forget how JerZ dressed so sedately, in increasingly understated increments as she got older and older. I always appreciated that." I want them to say, "Holy crap, that woman was a HOOT!"

I do have a sense of humor, but to me that woman looks like a walking health risk. Her weight looks unhealthy, and baking in the sun like that can't be too healthy. And I cannot tell if her implants look like that due to age or if she has a really bad case of capsular contracture.

She is also obviously very old, at least 80s, so what? Looks like she spent her life enjoying herself and still is, so I say kudos to her.

As long as it is appropriate for venue, who cares. I wouldn't want ANYONE to wear a swimsuit to Church or a formal gown to the beach. Otherwise, if you are covering all that should be covered, that WHO CARES!!!! I don't understand why people insist on being the fashion police.

Agree to a point; the poor lady may have dementia or other issues. However .... the lady standing there with her, maybe a daughter or niece, could have suggested she wear a nice top, or a cover up. (Maybe she did, and the lady refused, who knows.) It's not the end of the world, but I would not let my mother or aunt be subjected to 'looks' from others. A bit of modesty at any age is always best.
