Well I guess this is what 68 looks like...
I still remember how excited I was when I turned 13.
I don't FEEL 68,
but that sounds strange
as how WOULD a 68 year old feel?
My idea of 68 (when I was younger) was that at the age of 68 one was OLD.
OLD
crotchety...
wrinkly and worn out.
Well I can attest to having grey hair, wrinkles and feeling weary on occasion.
But my idea of an OLD woman has changed :-))
Perhaps because I am here and at the age of 68 years OLD young.
I do have aches and pains and cannot do all the things that I used to do in a day.
My flexibility is not what it once was...
but I am working to regain some of what has been lost.
My eyesight has weakened and I wear glasses to see properly.
I've given up wearing high heels, and only own two pairs of "kitten heels."
I opt to dress for comfort most days...
(apologies to MOM)
I am very much like her in looks and demeanor
but I don't have that "dress up everyday" gene.
I am wearing a warm and cozy "new-to-me" wool vest with cap sleeves.
I found it at the thrift shop on Pender on my birthday.
What you cannot see are the Hudson knit tweed pants and black Chelsea boots.
You'll have to use your imagination :-))

Snow day at the cottage.
This very old Gap denim shirt gets worn a LOT.
It is soft and comfy, a desert island garment.
Layered over a black lace camisole, black lined leggings.
Akoya Pearls just because...
I am enjoying watching fashion reels from style savvy gals on Instagram.
The Street Style snippets are fun and the tips are great.
Some days I want to rush out and buy a bunch of new clothes!
But seriously, I have to consider my retired lifestyle...
where would I wear a sequin skirt?
I did buy a rhinestone bracelet before Christmas that I must start wearing for fun.
On days perhaps when I meet friends for coffee...
A mystery...
love the description of the book.
Three retired primary school teachers who meet every Thursday for coffee
solve the mystery of a friend...
Yes this is something I need to wear more often...
it has a bit of bling to elevate these cold and blustery days.
My new book is calling my name and I am going to pop the kettle on for a cuppa..
hope you are feeling good and making time for fun.
Thank you for stopping by The Humble Bungalow Blog.
