Vicki, you are right! Most people wear the most boring of clothes!!! And, of course, when I was 130 lbs heavier I did, too. Now, however, if I don't feel GREAT in something, I don't wear it. It's no longer "do I look thin in this?" (a joke, of course, since I was so fat). The thought process now is "do I feel GREAT in this?" A great print, a neat cut, wonderful colors, etc.
I love sequins, beads, fringes - all the things that made me look ridiculous before. I dress youthfully, but no one has ever implied that I dress too youthfully. I don't try to look like a teenager, but my jeans are very hip, literally!
Clothes are great fun now, and I no longer want to have pajama days.
And by the way, some of my greatest GREAT clothes come from the Hospice Boutique resale shop!!!!
