I found her!
How many years and tears have passed before she walked out of my head and into the world?
Trial and error, starting and stopping and above all else? Observation!
How many thousands of times do we read you must dress to blend and dress your age. Blah, blah blah. We must dress to be us and I'm in my 40's.
I'm a faithful reader of many of the fashion mags and the excerpts we see on line. The bottom line in most age related fashion tips is you wear what is you. If you can incorporate different fashion items from different age groups into your style...then it makes you who you are.
My biggest compliment comes from a woman giving me that "you bitch" look. She is not reading me, she is judging me because my hair is too long or I might be wearing too much makeup. It is not my problem if she can't or won't take the time to take care of herself and her biggest thrill of the day will come in the produce section.
I found the women of my age category who "put themselves together" are out there and I love them!
I can never hope to be as knock down sexy as the "Jamie's" of the world with her book on passing.
But I can hope to be me and move confidently through situations I only dreamed of attempting years ago.
In those moments all the error of trial and error becomes worth it!
