Ten Things You're Too Old To Wear?
September means fashion.

Rachel Fischer Spalding wrote a piece for Lifescript.
With advice from celebrity wardrobe stylist Ricci DeMartino.
And Charla Krupp, style expert.
I see a fashion disconnect a mile wide, between their WHY.
And to me their LIE, to get into our pockets!

Fischer, DeMartino and Krupp listed the:
Top Ten Items You're Too Old To Wear.
Are you a middle-aged fashionista who just doesn’t know when to quit?
Read on for the top 10 clothing items to leave in the past.

1 Message T-Shirts AGE LIMIT 30
WHY: They were invented by and for young hollywood.
LIE: Message t-shirts were around before the short attention span cinema era of Twilight Hollywood.
30 year old woman wears a t-shirt that reads "Your Boyfriend Thinks I'm Hot" and she is.
Then it's the 20 year old girlfriends problem. Not the hot 30 year old.

2 Too Trendy Denim AGE LIMIT 35
WHY: You’re not in your element with these too-young items.
LIE: Torn, ripped, aged, patched, rhinestone or studded<b> denim </font></b>is not in any element.
Denim is plain,<b> denim </font></b>is non trendy,<b> denim </font></b>is denim, period.
If you have the butt and thighs for denim, wear<b> denim.</font></b>

3 Costume Shoes AGE LIMIT 40
WHY: Anything too high or too crazy should be avoided.
Feet lose their fatty cushion as we age, necessitating comfier pairs.
LIE: Every kind of shoe I own has gel inserts.
If I wear five platforms, comfortably. So can you.

4 Micro Mini Skirts AGE LIMIT 40
WHY: Age appropriateness in fashion is determined by who you are and what you do.
So Tina Turner can wear micro-minis on stage that the rest of us would look ridiculous in.
LIE: Your body and how you wear a micro-mini is the key.
If you have the waist, butt and legs, wear a micro mini skirt.
I'm muscle, curves and smooth skin. Not fat and cellulite.
I wear micro skirts with platform heels.

5 Excess Cleavage AGE LIMIT 50
WHY: An older woman shouldn't’t feel she needs to show it all off.
Excessive boobage past the age of 40 displays too much sagging skin
LIE: Keywords are age and sagging.
If her boobs are firm and up, she does not need to show off.
She should want to show off.

6 White, Ribbed Cotton Tank Tops AGE LIMIT 40
WHY:Skimpier versionS of the mens-undershirt-style are worn all over Hollywood by hot actresses.
Women today want to keep up with much younger celebrities on TV.
LIE: Women with poor self-esteem dress like someone from "Gossip Girl"
Wearing a tank top depends on smooth skin, firm boobs, a defined back and sexy shoulders.

7 Hair Gadgets AGE LIMIT 40
WHY: Flowery scrunchies, banana clips or your ’s plastic kiddie barrettes,
whimsical hair accessories are not fitting for a fully grown woman.
TRUE: Or anyone else with a drivers license.

8 Over-Size Handbags AGE LIMIT 50
WHY: Open any magazine, and you see tiny celebrities with enormous, eye-catching handbags.
The skinnier the star, the bigger the bag. Well, don’t follow suit.
Avoid over sized bags with all the bells and whistles.
When you come to a certain age, the good news is you’re beyond trends.
LIE: And carry your need to have items in what?
Seriously, what does a tiny celebrity need to have?
Her cell phone, cocaine, tiny and tiny bottle of water.
If Bobbie Rae Carter sells them, you need one.

9. Cheap, Unflattering Underwear AGE LIMIT 40
WHY: Most women are not fitted properly when it comes to bras.
The more a womans breasts and body sags, the more important quality undergarments are.
Get a proper bra fitting at an upscale department store, and make friends with shape wear.
MISLEADING: Proper fit does not mean improper price.
Once you know your size, skip the over priced.
Quality does not mean going broke.
Good food and exercise? Or expensive bodyshapers?
You have to take the bodyshaper off at some point.

10 Loud Accessories AGE LIMIT 35
WHY: Rubber bracelets, studded belts, and plastic earrings proclaim, you’re still plugged into trends.
You can look hip without trappings. Gather these accessories, donate them to the nearest ninth-grader.
TRUE: People wear this stuff at Halloween or wondering lost in malls tweeting each other.

While DeMartino attempts to embarrass the reader.
Krupp followed with "Age Appropriate Stunning Substitutes"
Each stunning substitute is stunningly overpriced, and furnished by a designer sponsor.
Who does not advertise on Xmatch. So I did not mention them.

 Well I'm 2 years off 70 and I wear anything that I like and that I think suits me, and if there is anyone who doesn't like what I wear, they can keep their views to themselves. Why should their opinion be more valid than mine? After all, I'm not dressing to please them. I dress to please myself. So if others say they like what I wear, then we maybe on the same wave length.



This is my new mantra

There are millions of people on this planet worse off than myself.
