Fashion-wise, you are a woman after my own heart. Maybe because I'm about to turn 44 next month, I simply cannot grasp the current jeans obsession. I have no illusions that anyone is looking at my ass, except maybe to mistakenly glance at it and quickly look away while saying, "Akkk, my eyes!" I have not and will not spend excess time or money searching for the so-called right pair of jeans. The 2 fashion rules I have for myself are: 1) wear what is comfy (i.e., jeans that fit my big ass and thighs), and 2) wear what is easy to care for (wash 'n wear). If I find something I like, I often buy several of the same thing in different colors. In the summer (9 months of the year here) I wear sandals or clogs; in the winter, shearling lined clogs usually with wool blend ankle sox. You may have seen me pictured with the black rectangle over my eyes in any women's magazine. I am sure I'll be a fashion embarrassment for my daughter once she's old enough to give a shit. Fortunately, she's 2 now so I've got a couple years to hone my bag lady look. You and the Dotter are beautiful! Fashion-wise, you are a woman after my own heart.

I wear what washes easily adn feels comfortable (aka allows me to move freely). That's my fashion criteria. Period. Oh, and what hides snot, food, spills, and other stains that likely come from sitting on the ground frequently. Since i'm the human tissue LOL. Wrinkle-free and stain resistant and washable. Comes cheap at Target. Another good criteria. Cheap. Then I don't much care. :) Sigh. It's so good to be BACK!!!! You two are looking great!

And if you don't care much about fashion, my post doesn't apply to you, anyway. :) Ah, Omegamom, you know I love you no matter what you wear.

But I don't have to worry about breaking fashion rules, since I wear jeans, t-shirts, and tennis shoes every day. Putting the cutoff at 30 seems kinda young… from the perspective of “way past that”.
