I saw this television show that purports to help women dress better. The victim was this cute 40 something woman who wore short skirts and low cut tops. She looked great to me.
These horrible 20-something fashionazis informed her that she needed to dress more "her age." They put her in a freaking knee length skirt suit with pumps. She looked well, old. They stole her hotness. I wanted to reach through the screen and strangle those creeps.
Of course, I might be biased. I call my own fashion style style "teenage slut."
I wear the smallest jeans that I can fit my 50 year old booty into. My T-shirts or tank tops are also probably too tight, and my favorites are kind of low cut. I don't dress my age.
Anyone who doesn't like it can just look away.
What about it? Do you dress your age? Do you think there is an age at which we are no longer allowed to dress sexy?
The art is German Northern Renaissance painter Grien Hans Baldung's The Seven Ages of Woman, c.1535.

One should wear what they want and not be influenced by their peers. I did happen to see that show once and as I recall it all starts because of so called friends or coworkers.. Reminds me of clothes well meaning parents buy that kids are never going to wear..
Ryder, that was it. She was tagged by her friends who said she was a mother now and shouldn't dress like a tramp. Hah! She looked great!
I wear whatever I want.....or nothing at all. Depending on who I am with, that is.
You must have heard the adage that women dress so as to be noticed, but men dress so as not to be noticed? I can't say I've changed how I dress since I was twelve. I always wear chino pants and a shirt with a collar. And I did that even in the 70's when chinos were as far out of fashion as they could be.
(the deleted post was this one with a typo -- sorry)
Rico,
I'm probably not quite as individual a dresser as you. I do try to be somewhat appropriate. But I hear you.
Rolfe,
I hadn't heard that adage, but there seems to be some validity to it, at least for us!
Hey Love, glad to have stopped by!
I personally like your fashion sense "teenage slut" I think it should be a staple rather than a shunned style!
The tighter the better and I think you'll be hard pressed to find people looking away! :D
guess who!
Anon,
Honestly I don't know who you are. Tell!
I think if it fits and you like it .. wear it! I know teenagers that dress in what you do and you still look better. It's all in the confidence and attitude.
Woo hoo Larmot!
Thanks. :D
Whatever your style is, go with it. You just gotta be you! Me, casual wear is t-shirt or an old polo shirt and jeans. In the house, it's a different story, I like to feel the breeze around me.
KW,
Well yes, around the house is different. I just want to be comfortable at home, and if anyone happens by they will have to deal!
Oh! come on who else calls you Love?
It's Jack! More commonly known as sweet4jack, you know the one that made your TV spot known to all. Or should I keep quiet about that. LOL :D
LOL! Sorry Jack! Actually a few other people have called me Love. Sorry.
They were all bad, though. :D
And as far as the TV comment? Well, we'll just leave that alone for now. :)
O M G, I found your blog! I guess I'm not as challenged as I thought! I dress in what's clean and what fits. You're missed on that 'other' site.
I wear what's comfy & sexy -- and when I get to the smaller zize I'm working toward, my clothes will still be sexy!
I think if you like what you wear, it's all good. I pretty much wear what I want, although sometimes my boys (sons) tell me it's too short. Sexy is an attitude.. not always what you have on.. from what I see... you have it all! xo P
The bitches who did that to her are jealous. I bet NONE of them will dress frumpy when they hit 40.
I dress in what suits me. I don't dress like a teenager, nor do I dress like an old lady. I have clothes from when I was 25 that I still wear. Well, the free-size gauze stuff, that is. But it suits me.
I have a large assortment of clothing. If I see myself in the mirror and I realize I look frumpy, into the freecycle bag it goes.
