New here--Am I too old for BBags?

[dreachick2384]

Hell no! Rock your bags! I have just lately gotten my 55 yr old mom into designer bags (I'm 25)!!

I think there are several tPFers that are older than you, and I am one of them. Someone else said it better than I can. Style has no age limits. I wear tons of neutral clothes and therefore love to brighten things up with a bag to give me a pop of color. Wear what you love and ignore your 17 year old. I have a 21 year old and she has never told me that I shouldn't wear any of my bags and if she did, I wouldn't listen to her.

I just turned 47 and I'm still buying bbags in ALL colors. You're never too old to enjoy a bright beautiful bag! Go for it!

My two daughters (22 & 19) encourage me to buy balencigas....the brighter the better!!

...I'm sure it's because they want to borrow....

Seriously, You are never too old to carry a bal .
Some clothes..yes....but a bright beautiful bal is ageless.....

ha! I'm 54 and I've got 6. I don't feel silly wearing them, and I love all the bright colors! Don't let your age ever stop you from doing what you want to do!

Never too old. I agree that now is the time to stop caring about anything else than what you love! Here's our thread - lots of inspiration and enabling here, lol.

I don't think you need to worry. Just go for what you love!

I am 40 and more into neutrals so I have sahara, black, multi-color woven, tempete and sang (my pop against all black)!!! I don't really go for the bright colors because my kids' toys are in those colors so didnt really want to blend my bag with their stuff but it's all a matter of preference and what suits your clothing style.
And at 47, of course you can still rock it!!!

I totally agree with what the other tPFers have said. You're never too old for Bal bags!

I think bright colours would be nice for you. Who says the middle-aged can't wear pop colours! In fact, I think carrying a bright-coloured bag makes you happier, because just looking at it makes you happy!

So go for it!!!

Thanks everyone for your encouragement! I have been looking at the photos on the forum and everyone looks so young

Ha, that's the beauty of photos. I can leave my wrinkly face and greying hair out of the picture, LOL.

I'm 45 and while I mostly wear neutrals (nothing to do with age, always have loved neutrals) I do have some colourful bags (including rouille which is a rusty dark orange) and love carrying them.

Wear what you love!

Wear what you love! Seriously, it's a waste to worry about what other people are thinking, even your kids. LOL
