clothes and how we perceive ourselves

In all honesty it probably does, but I don't have the confidence to wear it

Keep trying it on MM. Look at yourself in different mirrors from different angles. Try it with various jeans, trousers, skirts. Don't focus on the boobs. Look at your profile and back view. Try it on over a cami-top so any cleavage is subtly disguised. Imagine one of your friends (even CyberFriends) wearing it and whether you'd think they look good in it and if you'd admire them.

As I get older I am getting more bold with my clothes. The bolder the clothes the more confident I feel. I have two special girl friends. One is older than me, she used to be an actress, and wears antique jewellery, floaty clothes and had a face-lift or two and looks beautiful, and the other is younger than me and very curvy, wears retro clothes-almost Burlesque -with flame red hair, lots of costume jewellery, wearing only red, green, black and purple clothes and looks stunning.

We meet up for lunch and an afternoon wine session every fortnight and they have given me the confidence to wear clothes for fun and not just for decency!

Its all packed up ready to go back Fugi. To be honest I also wasn't sure what to wear it with, it looked a bit dressy with jeans

I love dressy tops with jeans and like Fugi I am getting bolder as I get older LOL, but the bottom line is if you don't feel comfortable in something then it is not right for you xxxxxx

If you don't get bolder as you get older Kaz then you can become invisible But it still has to feel right!

Ooooo well you can't leave it there!! Who is she???

MM I feel like that about crossover tops - and as a person with a relatively flat chest, I find it shows the flatness up even more I could wear a cami under, but that rather defeats the point, for me. Also, cowl necklines invariably are wayy too low cut, showing off all my bony decolletage I am quite limited with necklines

She 'retired' from acting when she married an actor but she had a part in the first ever 'The Avengers' with Patrick McNee in the 1960s. She's great fun and still a Luvvy.

I like boat necks, shallow V-necks and high cut cowl necks and rather partial to a square neck line as well. Salt and pepper bones are pretty and feminine but deep cleavage showing boobs knocking together isn't a good look
