Clothes shopping just isn’t fun anymore. When you’re in your 20s you can wear darn near whatever you want (See photo on left). When you’re in your 60s you know you’re looking for anything stretchy with an elastic waistband (See photo on right).
But pity those of us in between.
In addition to weighing whether an article of clothing is the right color, cut, fabric, fit and size, there’s the whole issue of age appropriateness. Too tight or revealing and it prompts comments like, “Who the heck does she think she’s kidding?” Too baggy and conservative and you look like Aunt Bea.
I suppose I shouldn’t be complaining. One day this problem will go away, and when it does I’ll be living in polyester city.

You always look appropriate in that tailored and classic style that I love! And I am not just saying that because people always get us confused with each other (which is very flattering for me!)!!
You always look nice Karie. You have great style.
