It takes a lot of time and effort to find things that fit, flatter, and are within my budget - and I'm not a cheapskate. The key to looking good for me, other than finding well-fitting clothes, is accessories - a necklace and great shoes can make an outfit!Sharon Greenthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341769570752679625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-85711215872655349702012-03-11T11:44:59.093-07:002012-03-11T11:44:59.093-07:00We must create a Wackadoodle Club!We must create a Wackadoodle Club!alienbodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553792913801374123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-85339417018001635662012-03-10T06:05:46.013-08:002012-03-10T06:05:46.013-08:00Oh, honey, too late.

It's like you were in my head! I used to be a very in-style dresser, but since I gained weight, and worse at having become menopausal, I don't seem to care too much. It is not because I don't want to "look good," it is because I hate how I look in ANYTHING I put on. Sigh!<br /><br />So if I was thin and liking myself, Amiga, you would be terrified of me too...and hubby would be all over me like butter on toast! LOL!<br /><br />You had me cracking up here.

But what I do I know? I'm the person standing in the laundry room minutes before I have to leave for work hoping those extra few minutes in the dryer (that I forgot to start the night before) will take my clothes from full-on dampness to almost tolerable moistness.Masked Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08197019009052401812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-16702120120592177232012-03-02T21:31:32.691-08:002012-03-02T21:31:32.691-08:00On the weekdays, I set out the next day's clot...On the weekdays, I set out the next day's clothes before I go to bed, but only because the alarm goes off at o'dark-thirty and I usually drag my fanny out of bed when I know that if I expect to get a shower, I can't lay there even one more minute.

I'm not one to moan overmuch about the body I used to have, but still, when I catch myself reflected in a glass storefront, I think "who the heck is that woman?" <br /><br />Oh-- have you seen the blog about the older women who dress, well, dramatically?

She will select my outfits for the full week, including shoes and jewelry (no undies but nothing matches in that department anyway). She will line them up on the staircase for me. This is great for two reasons: 1) I don't' have to think about what I am going to wear on any given day and she makes it so that I feel as fashion forward as one could be with my wardrobe and 2) it is a handy way to watch the week disappear into the next weekend. <br />I absolutely like to dress for comfort but the daughter makes sure I am not too frumpy - no elastic waistbands or hoodies at work. I MUCH prefer the spring, summer, and early fall months for clothing. You can wear less and feel less encumbered by clothing. I like the summer colors better too! and flip flops! If only I had the 20 year old body that I used to have but, hell, everything changes. Just don't look in the mirror (only the mirror in your memory).Graciewildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142582724233027386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3422383139355516259.post-4539213662157697402012-03-01T13:13:30.126-08:002012-03-01T13:13:30.126-08:00No, not freaking me out... uniforms do have advant...No, not freaking me out... uniforms do have advantages. I had playfully toyed with the idea of wearing scrubs as my "uniform" to work... I do teach some allied health and nursing students, even if my subject is English. :) Somehow, I think they'd for sure haul me off to the loony bin. <br />That's an idea, though, start with jewelry.

I think jewelry first then go for clothes.<br /><br />In summer, much easier. Pull the next uniform off the hanger, and then choose jewelry.
