Hi my lovely ladies!
Something a little different today.
You may call me weird, but I have recently developed a strange obsession.
I have found myself drawn to AI generated Pinterest pics of mature ladies. There, I’ve said it, I’ve come out of the closet!
Weird, yes, but I’ve finally worked out why.
Amazingly these clever AI bods must have researched what regular mature ladies wear on a day-to-day basis, not the stuff you see on Instagram or in YouTube videos but plain simple day-to-day wear.

And you know me, I love a style steal, so that’s what I’ve been doing. Stealing. Putting together outfits prescribed by AI with stuff already either in my current accidental capsule or grabbing items taking a rest in my upstairs wardrobe.
So today I’m re-creating for you a few of my favourite drawn-to outfits. Using blogger’s license, of course, as the body face and hair the clothes are draped around them aren’t a perfect match to the pics, for AI is a perfect world. But you get my drift, this is an easy way to put an outfit together and one that we can wear in the lives that we now lead. Because sometimes I do get a little brain fog when thinking of what to take from the capsule each day, so this gives me the jolt I need. Painting by numbers I always liken it to when doing a style steal, no need for thought or any particular skill.
Let’s get cracking with some AI steals!
AI Assumptions
Our base is turned up jeans and a white cami.
Barefooting is commonplace.
We mostly sport a scruffy updo.
Our accessories are a glass of wine or a coffee mug, cute dogs and even cuter children.
Looks like that is our stereotype.
Look #1
A print blouse in red hues
Seems we spend our days sipping something.
The first try on was not a win. The white cami showed through the very fine silk chiffon. So this one won’t be happening again sadly.
But I’ve previously worn this diaphanous blouse with a pale blue cami and jeans, so maybe I won’t abandon this look quite yet.
Look #2
Double denim and lace
This one was an exception to the prescribed “uniform”, switching the simple cami for a fancier lacy top.
Now TP liked this look, so this will be a repeat.
I added some dangly earrings as my hair was up.
I then switched back to the cami for,
Look #3
Beige linen baggy shirt.
This look requires drinking yet more wine. And a dog.
I had the wine.
Though these days it’s usually alcohol free.
(Yet another casualty of the aging process)
This is definitely something I wear through the summer, and you too probably?
Look #4
Baggy khaki linen shirt
(Seems we like linen and we need baggy!)
I had no small children to use as props for this outfit.
So I used a coffee cup.
Again, this is something I do wear throughout most of the year, though possibly in a little more of an ironed state!
You won’t be able to see this but I switched to green earrings.
The style skims over the lumps and bumps and hides things when they need to be hidden so I can see how AI would’ve chosen this as it’s something we ladies wear a lot, n’est pas?
Look #4
A taupe cardi.
I did think to grab next door’s dog for the shot, but TP persuaded me to just stick with the coffee cup.
An empty coffee mug is essential posing kit.
And how many times do we mature ladies sling on this retirement uniform eh?
Look #6
Ivory v neck jumper
Well, still no dog prop on the scene, and crossed legged was a step (or an injury!) too far.
So I stood. I added chunky pearl earrings as I thought the look was a little posher than the others and needed some form of pearlage.
Conclusion
A1 certainly gets us mature ladies. These are all things I wear on the daily and feel comfortable in. Though not all of us have the cute dogs and small children accessories.
There are still many other combos I want to try out and I certainly will do as we go through this sometimes challenging transition into summer. Dressing this retired lady just got a whole lot easier!
Is copying A1 outfits something you’ve done or something that you quite like the idea of doing?
