“You hope your husband doesn’t notice your new outfit”, hahaha, so true! And most of the times not a problem at all.
Exactly! Or I totally do the “this old thing?” He never knows!
I always thought women became more human (i.e. “like man”) as they aged. This proves it! After a while, the stress and bother of fashion and pleasing others just fades into insignificance, and you live a comfortable life as yourself!
You’re a wise man Mike! I finally came to that realization about a year ago…which is why I’m currently writing this comment in sweatpants. It’s delightful!
Wow, you certainly have this down to a science. Having had the teenage daughter not too long ago, I don’t think anything changes from generation to generation either. I would add for me the love of trying on clothes in the fitting rooms becomes then a cry of anguish. LOL Great Post Lisa!
Oh Donna! You are soooo right about the trying on thing. We go from teens and everything looking good on us to adults and “do I want to hide my belly fat or my fat butt more?”
Sigh. Isn’t that the truth. Apparently laying in bed, reading while eating cheese and chocolate will not get rid of this baby belly.
You’re soooo right! Sometimes I just take something home without trying it on because I want to sob in the comfort of my own home…and be comforted by cookies.
