I am guilty of buying tee shirts for my three sons at every track and field, band event, etc. they participated in. They had so many tee shirts with great memories. I ended up cutting the graphic section out of each tee and sewing them onto a large piece of fabric which I made into a quilt for each of them - and- they look great! And they use them! You would have to cut up your concert mementos but could be a great way to make them into something useful and unique.

Concert tees are almost always a bad boxy shape, with annoying ribbed necklines. I always and immediately cut the necklines out into a boat or notched scoop. Sometimes I crop the hem too. No hemming required. Then they become flattering for the gym, house/garden jobs and with leather jackets and maxi skirts for going out. Way cooler.

I love puffer vests. You have to find the right one though. I don't like any of the ones you have shown. Personally, I prefer mine to be more cropped rather than oversized. I like very little stretch in my jeans, if any. My rule is 1-2% stretch max with the remaining cotton. I am happy if I can find 100% cotton denim. I'm old too at 59....lol. I will admit the stretch jeans now are better than they were a few years back. Back then they all seemed to stretch out after a few hours of wear and became very baggy. They also wore out very fast too with the cheap stretch. I went years without buying jeans because I hated the stretch so much and that's all you could buy at one point. I'm happy things have changed the past few years and I am now able to find denim jeans I like again.

Add to the list alot of shoes and boots that are made of “man made” material because they are stiff, give you blisters and your feet can’t “breathe”. Also ankle boots and taller that don’t have zipper access are super awkward to take on and off. The older you get the more you realize the way clothes and shoes feel may be even more important than the way they look!

I live in a cold weather state. Puffers are necessary. However, I am a short person. I only buy puffers that have small space stitching. If there is a big, square pattern--pass. If there is a design to the stitching especially if it gives the illusion of synching at the waist, yes. Nobody wants to look like the Michelin Tire man. If you want a 2nd or 3rd trench, the thrift it. Don't buy brand new.

I have 4 trench coats...no regrets as I'm in Melbourne so can wear most of the year. No stretch jeans are frustrating as I think they look better but as you say need to be relaxed fit. IMO for what it worth....i think you could get away with the black trainers and the black boots as you are tall so legs could handle visual breaks between boot and skirt and also your feet are in proportion...it would look strange if they were tiny.

I personally never see the point of puffa vests. Your jumper sleeves will get all wet if it rains! However if yours isn't oversized it could be worth wearing it under a winter wool coat.

Sandals. I've bought two pairs now of Gianluca sandals from Amazon. They're handmade in Italy, real leather straps AND soles, a bit expensive but not too much ($125 or so American), and they come in men's and women's sizes; they're about identical. I wear an EU size 42, bought both pairs in a 42, and could definitely have gone with a 41, maybe even a 40. They're a bit long. But if you're into earthing, or natural or rustic is your vibe, as it is mine, these are great sandals. It'll probably take them 20 years to wear out.

The only way I like them is to make the outfit monochrome by wearing the same main colour in the top or bottom. So it has to be one of your best colours.

I don’t like wearing warm vests like puffers, my torso overheats in them but my arms still get really cold, even if wearing two sweaters. They don’t flatter any woman’s shape, but they can look kind of cute for a very outdoorsy outfit, like an English Country one. To me, it’s just so much more flattering, simple and more practical to wear a slim, shaped, quilted jacket, like Ralph Lauren’s, instead, and these don’t pack on the visual weight so much. Then, I only need one light-to-medium weight sweater underneath and my temperature stays balanced. I especially wouldn’t wear a puffer vest if overweight, why add excess bulk?

Hard NO to colorful animal print.. i am just beginning to even sort of like neutral animal print.. i do like to buy things i like in multiple colors but my teeny tiny closet curbs me in that thank goodness! I cannot stand heavy chunky shoes! They hurt. Too heavy!

I am guilty of the sweatshirt collection. I do wear them….at least most of them. I love them for my lifestyle. A regret for me is a white button up shirt. I hate them! I have never cared for how they fit for me so i just quit trying. I am with you on the band tees. (I just bought one last month) i will wear it though, but i really do not need them.

Alohas backbone fisherman sandal … they were comfy from the get go and you can throw socks on with them !!! Just my thoughts I also like the Tod’s double bad dad sandals

The animal print skirt I'd pair it with a black blouse and black boots or sandals
