My mum hit 60 this year and absolutely refuses to grow old. She has no intention of doing so and still wears her jeans and trendy clothes, has a good hair cut and still looks good with her size 10-12 figure. When we go to the garden centre she looks around at the older people there and says that she will never see herself wearing the clothes they do. She did say at what point is she meant to wear a cardi and skirt!
I’m glad she is like that – it makes my getting old more repressed too :-D

Good for her! I intend to do the same – mind you, not sure my clothes are exactly modern – bikini and a sarong, or shorts and t-shirt, most of the time, and at a push, jeans and a jumper in winter! lol :D
