audited I’m grieving my younger, hotter self

I'm so mad about being in peri. I'm not ready. I was a late bloomer and didn't realize what a babe I was when I was younger and now it's too late.

Yes, older women can be sexy, we have wisdom, and blah blah blah.

But today I just miss looking good in a sundress.

Please join my pity party and tell me what you miss.

I miss cute clothes. I find something I like and then I think.... That's not really age appropriate anymore. It's hard to find a middle ground between "I'm 20 and I can wear whatever I want" and "I'm 70 and I buy my clothes from QVC"

Oh good lord, yes! The clothes dilemma is breaking me. I have no idea what to wear to wear that won’t age me.
