I am overwhelmed by the comments and emails that I have recently received since publishing my last post on blogging.
The information that I discovered to switch to a new platform and bring all my posts with me was quite beyond my tech ability and to hire an expert to help with the migration was more expensive than I ever imagined.
This wee blog is and has been a fun outlet and a hobby not a business or a job.
So I am going to stay with Blogger as it continues to be free...
there are limitations and tech issues but I suppose I will have to live with them if I want to have a blog and an audience without cost.
Researching style with this fun book by two authors from Refinery 29...
I am heading to the shops to scout out some edgy fashion options.
At 68, I am no spring chicken but I am not giving up on having fun with fashion.
Recalling former conversations with girlfriends over coffee...
the crux of the dialogue revolved around what we might be wearing when we got OLD.
Well we are OLD now and I remember a particular friend saying
"Shoot me if I ever wear pull on pants and old lady tops."
Pull on pants are very comfy...
Yoga pants and some dressy pants with smooth waistbands.
I have returned to regular denim jeans
the spandex stretchy fabric loses shape "stretches and pouches out" at the tummy.
Makes me look bigger than I am...
not a good look and I feel bad about my tummy.
No one wants to feel bad about their body...
it supports and carries us around.
The only one we have,
so we better appreciate, honour, and accept it.
Making peace with the reality of our forms at an advanced age takes time.
At least it has taken me awhile...
looking at younger fitter women on social media sets up unrealistic expectations.
Dress the body that you have been given...
fitness is a great goal at our age
Walking Yoga, swimming, aqua fit classes
and a healthy eating regime should be a focus.
Fad diets and exhausting exercise can be hard on our systems and our joints.
Moderation is my preferred method.
Have you heard of MNG?
Love "MOM" jeans...
but hey did you notice they are "NEW MOM" jeans :-))
Gosh the last time I was a new mom was in 1981.
I love the fit of these jeans...size 12
These are ankle length which I love because I am 5'1
no hemming required.
I bought them at our local Bay store for $70
Now I am thinking I need a fun pair of sneakers...
Converse perhaps?
Something comfy and a wee bit edgy...
Women in Paris are wearing sneakers.
That's it for now...
I thought I would just check in and say thank you for your lovely messages.
Stay tuned for more posts...
