I know we all want to look and feel younger, but after getting this in my email I thought I should share it with every one as a reminder of certain fashion combos that just don’t work together for us middle aged folks.
**************************
Many of us (those over 40, WAY over 40 or hovering near 40) are quite confused about how we should present ourselves. We’re unsure about the kind of image we are projecting and whether or not we are correct as we try to conform to current fashions. Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:
1. A nose ring and bifocals
2. Spiked hair and bald spots
3. A pierced tongue and dentures
4. Miniskirts and support hose
5. Ankle bracelets and corn pads
6. Speedo’s and cellulite
7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar
8. Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor
9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge
10. Bikinis and liver spots
11. Short shorts and varicose veins
12. Inline skates and a cane
And last, but not least . . .
13. Thongs and Depends

I laughed so hard, my 2-year old gruffly asked, “what are you laughing at mama, which made me laugh even harder.

I finally did my fridge meme.
So nice to have a week off and catch up on things. What a shame I forgot about the Friday holiday, one less day I can do anything.
My Mom sent me something really like that list for the over 60 fashion. She is over 60. It was really funny, still makes me laugh to read it again.

I think these are great. Another pet peeve of mine is to go to the hair salon for a new haircut and come out looking like an 18 year old pot scrubber, you know the kind with rings and rings of curly metal?
I’m 60 and while I want to look nice, I don’t want to look 18. I don’t want a blue streak down the side and I don’t want bed hair either. That said, I’m not ready for blue hair just yet!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting everyone….
SexyOldBroad — I have hair down past my waist, any one tried to turn my head in to a pot scrubber would do it over my dead body! LOL

I’m 44 and I think I look good for my age. I have a little cellulite but I’m still going to buy short shorts. I have a very small ass and I want to show it off.
