My friends are totally used to that. Certain members of my family, on the other hand, will never get used to that, so I'll wear something like this around them <b></b><i>on purpose</i><b></b>. Ha! Although DH and I are known as "the cool aunt and uncle" so it's all goodie :)</p> <p>Firecracker, yes my tee was a great conversation starter - I'm glad I chose that one to wear!</p> <p>Dakota, thank you for the compliment on my hair. I am growing it out a bit and not sure what style I will grow it to.</p> <p>Thanks again, everyone, I appreciate your comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fantasy-meets-reality-or-im-having-a-mid-life-crisis#post-1485829 Sun, 03 May 2015 09:57:07 +0000 Summer 1485829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If this is what a mid-life crisis looks like, &nbsp;I'm joining you (although, for me "later life crisis" might be more accurate). &nbsp;These are great looks on you, Karie, especially 4 which looks outstanding on you. &nbsp;I hope you enjoyed the party. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fantasy-meets-reality-or-im-having-a-mid-life-crisis#post-1485816 Sun, 03 May 2015 05:19:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1485816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic, Karie! I love that jacket especially. What a gorgeous, rich color. So fun to wear it with the graphic tee, and I'm with Angie--I really like those jeans on you with the booties. And your tee was even a conversation-starter! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fantasy-meets-reality-or-im-having-a-mid-life-crisis#post-1485805 Sun, 03 May 2015 04:03:18 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1485805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karie, you look smokin' hot in both of these outfits, and I, for one, intend to copy these very soon!</p> <p>I strenuously object to your use of "mid-life crisis" for yourself.. I don't see that AT ALL. I see a very stylish woman who has reached a point in her life where she is secure and confident in her choices, and dresses to please herself.</p> <p>I hope you will always make the bold choice, because it suits you so well </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fantasy-meets-reality-or-im-having-a-mid-life-crisis#post-1485783 Sun, 03 May 2015 03:04:33 +0000 Ledonna N. 1485783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that Rocks, fantasy to real life this is great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fantasy-meets-reality-or-im-having-a-mid-life-crisis#post-1485480 Sat, 02 May 2015 13:53:54 +0000 dakotacheryl 1485480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really loved the Moto Version...and your hair is gorgeous!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fantasy-meets-reality-or-im-having-a-mid-life-crisis#post-1485474 Sat, 02 May 2015 13:48:32 +0000 kkards 1485474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>well if this is what a mid life crisis looks like, sign me up</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fantasy-meets-reality-or-im-having-a-mid-life-crisis#post-1485464 Sat, 02 May 2015 13:41:07 +0000 Tanya 1485464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome outfits, both of them!&nbsp; Nothing age inappropriate at all there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fantasy-meets-reality-or-im-having-a-mid-life-crisis#post-1485460 Sat, 02 May 2015 13:39:06 +0000 E 1485460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!

Go team midlife crisis! You are so rockin' it, Karie, and inspiring the rest of us oldsters to join you in wearing what we love instead of what we're supposed to wear.

Wear it and be proud! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fantasy-meets-reality-or-im-having-a-mid-life-crisis#post-1485174 Fri, 01 May 2015 20:38:45 +0000 Karie 1485174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In an earlier post this week, I talked about my fantasy Rock 'n Roll outfit. Since it was suggested that I actually wear it, I came up with this version to wear out to a birthday dinner tonight with some friends. I'm sure my friends will think I'm having a mid-life crisis, but I'm OK with that :)</p> <p>I'd like to be super-cool and wear my sunnies, but I'd never see the menu, so my regular eyeglasses will have to do. Instead of the gold scarf in #3, I am carrying my gold purse tonight.</p> <p>Moto, gold purse - Calvin Klein<br />Tee - "Meet the Beatles: The Beatles are Coming!"&nbsp;<br />Distressed Jeans - Gap Resolution Slim Straights</p> <p>I probably won't wear the moto entirely open, but I'm showing it here so you can see more of the tee.</p> <p>#4 is a pic of the back of my head - beachy rock 'n roll hair, which you can't see well in the other photos.</p> <p>And lest you say "Oh but I still like the original outfit better!" I plan on wearing that out to another dinner tomorrow night. Let the mid-life crisis fun begin!</p>
