I dress to be appropriate for whatever situation I'm in. The older I get, the more I need to feel "put together" when I go anywhere. That just jumped out of bed careless look that I could pull off when I was 20, doesn't translate well at 55. Even so, comfort is my #1 priority. I will no longer wear uncomfortable clothes. They must fit my body and my lifestyle.

Over the years I’ve learned what works best with my body shape and lifestyle. Most of the current fashions don’t work for me (e.g. sleeveless dresses, fitted tops/dresses, above-the-knee dress lengths, low-cut necklines, etc). I can only wear two dress styles – sheath and empire. I also prefer mid-calf which is not currently in style, so yes, I go by what works best for me and not necessarily what’s in style.

I always say I'm the trendsetter - wearing styles ahead of everyone else. :-)

Fashion should be fun as should reading and writing about fashion

Oh my clothes are so ALL about me and what I like. Forget what others think. If I don't think and feel cute in something it could be dripping in diamonds and I'd hate it!!! Some things I like are on trend, others classic and still then comfort. My clothes advertise my personality miles away and also the mood I am in.
