Wait until you reach sixty five and then add a few more years!<br />I am still riding and I have now reached the age that I just ignore fashion and wear what is comfortable.

My Mom is 60, has been a bodybuilder for years and looks about 20 years younger than she is. <br /><br />Now, on the other hand, we saw a lady in her later 60s with low cut jeans and obviously wearing a thong.

I'm 45, although most days I feel something akin to a spry 70 year old (compliments of my many medical misadventures). <br /><br />You called it on the wardrobe comments - and mine is mostly sleeveless too (oops). Sure is tough to find that middle ground for the closet these days. Just whacked the hair a couple of weeks ago; figured it was time ;o)<br /><br />- Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608579972739041880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-11043399803083446962011-08-31T19:32:27.801-04:002011-08-31T19:32:27.801-04:00Haha, that's a sad statistic.

I was acutely aware of it as a teacher because if I sat down in front of a class in a short skirt, disaster always loomed on the hemline. <br /><br />I've always had short hair, so no biggie. And not much gray yet, so no biggie there either. <br /><br /Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10029423500476995817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-10598336600233809152011-08-30T16:52:34.494-04:002011-08-30T16:52:34.494-04:00That's why I love the "preppy" look....That's why I love the "preppy" look. I adopted it when it was "fashion" back in the 80's and have used it as my style default ever since. Fashion means NOTHING - STYLE is everything. Style is when you know what looks good and works on you. You then weed through what is in fashion to find the best pieces to suit your style.<br /><br />And trust - with my thighs, both SolitaireMarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573053727692879169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-13720979616263787172011-08-30T16:13:02.800-04:002011-08-30T16:13:02.800-04:00Hah, I'm cracking up!

Hope it helps that I think (and I bet I speak for all your blog readers)you look NOWHERE NEAR that age! :-)Just tell people you're "40-10." When they hear the first number they'll stop at that and you have no trouble pulling it off.<br /><br />Regarding your mom'RiderWriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05679157278313699794noreply@blogger.com
