I could be pregnant with twins under it – but that would be a miracle – – or hiding any number of things under its volumes of fabric.
.
It’s not a sexy dress or a flattering dress for anyone with boobs as it hangs straight from them – but it’s cool and airy with a fun print and vibrant colours that bring joy to the wearer.
.
Is it too young a dress to wear at the age of 66? Who cares – I am enjoying wearing it.
.
When we enjoy and feel good wearing a particular item of clothing – we as women – feel confident, positive and empowered.
.
This is a happy dress.

Well done on raising so many thousands of £s auctioning the controversial one shoulder dress for your charity @girlguiding as a result of – wearing a dress that had slipped off the shoulder and was deemed inapropriate in the House of Commons. .
It’s easy to have clothing malfunctions and indeed my own @zara top in the photo can be worn in all ways – exposing shoulders or not.

Women are continuously judged and often more harshly by other women than by men. .
My lifestyle consultancy takes me into organisations where women prefer to often dress androgynously- in trousers- in black- to not be noticed for what they wear- but only for the excellent job they do.
.
I also speak in schools- where teenage girls feel the need to look perfect- especially on their social media- affecting their mental health.
.
I hope my own social media feed, that is never filtered, inspires and can show women – young and old – that we can all be individual. Embracing our quirks and flaws make each of us unique and special. No celebrity I have ever dressed had a perfect body or flawless face in my past 30 year career as a celebrity stylist. .
We shouldn’t be afraid to wear what we feel comfortable in- however- if we work in an organisation and are customer facing, then we are the face of the brand and should dress accordingly. .
Be true to yourself, don’t compare and don’t let the judgement of others break you. .

Sometimes it’s a specs day
If you wear contact lenses it’s good to give your eyes a rest some days. Especially if you get dry eyes as you get older.
I’ve worn contacts since the age of 12. Until recently no one ever saw me in specs. The contacts were straight in first thing in the morning and removed last thing at night.
I felt ‘less than’ in my specs- not confident, not sexy – not me. Now I feel I can embrace wearing glasses and have all sorts of styles, shapes and colours.
My specs have become an additional fashion accessory- to embrace wearing- not an embarrassing encumbrance.

Every so often we need to take time out away from social media. To focus on ourselves and our family. Family is everything.
.
Our Instagram posts show the glossy, happy sides of our lives. Even with no filters on our photos, we still carefully edit what we put out into the public domain. .
Do our followers really want to know what’s going on in our private lives? Yes or no? .
Maybe if it can inspire? …
.
I only want to inspire and motivate with positive messages and images.
Showing how to be age proud at 65 years old, have body confidence, live a healthy and active lifestyle, have good mental health and that it’s never too late to try anything new.
