I dont feel like me when i do, and it makes me look even more out of place (people ask me where im from often, probably due to my coloring). I don't want to look innapropriate, as long as its correct for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/older-and-attitude#post-1948246 Wed, 15 Aug 2018 11:19:27 +0000 viva 1948246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can relate, too. Something has shifted in me a little lately ... maybe I've crossed over the line to over-50 invisibility? But I care less about what others think and want to be "neat and appropriate" - often with a little kick, just for me. I'm with you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/older-and-attitude#post-1948239 Wed, 15 Aug 2018 10:50:36 +0000 Janet 1948239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep! I can relate. I want to be current, but more and more, I’m dressing to please myself. Not chasing trends, not emulating anyone else. It feels good. High five! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/older-and-attitude#post-1948237 Wed, 15 Aug 2018 10:28:50 +0000 Style Fan 1948237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great ideas.&nbsp; Something a little different that makes it yours. &nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/older-and-attitude#post-1948233 Wed, 15 Aug 2018 09:40:28 +0000 ChrisM 1948233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I applaud your attitude! It’s refreshing to dress for your own pleasure (or if you’re Rachylou or Jussie, amusement might be a better word) without having a point to drive home.</p> <p>You might consider adopting a signature “quirk” that reflects your personality. Maybe it’s a collection of brooches or scarfs, or bangles, maybe a collection of eyeglasses - there are plenty of folks here on the forum that have one signature item that sets them apart without looking sloppy.</p> <p>Pix please! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/older-and-attitude#post-1948225 Wed, 15 Aug 2018 08:06:56 +0000 jussie 1948225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha rachylou you’re hilarious. I also have a strong need to entertain myself lol.<br /> But seriously, interesting shoes, bags, jewelry, all help a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/older-and-attitude#post-1948224 Wed, 15 Aug 2018 07:54:57 +0000 rachylou 1948224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s funny about blending in. My need to entertain myself and keep myself awake overrules a lot, but I’m very averse to being ‘antisocial’ ... which I could easily be... lol... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/older-and-attitude#post-1948194 Wed, 15 Aug 2018 03:08:57 +0000 DonnaF 1948194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Plus, I should add that I'm not generally in Asian circles so I don't blend in anyway so I may as well go all the way. . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/older-and-attitude#post-1948192 Wed, 15 Aug 2018 03:07:08 +0000 DonnaF 1948192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No daughter around to embarrass as she lives out of state. And is a bit beyond her teenage years and is working on adulting. I really don't care if I blend in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/older-and-attitude#post-1948191 Wed, 15 Aug 2018 03:03:09 +0000 Anonymous 1948191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree completely. For that reason I reject sensible looking shoes and traditional cardigans for boots and booties or mules and jackets. Tassel earrings get a second look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/older-and-attitude#post-1948190 Wed, 15 Aug 2018 02:49:54 +0000 karen13 1948190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes to these ideas! I want to see your pics! The idea of something little different, without standing out "too much" really resonates with me. I think when I finally tried to come up with style descriptors and a moniker this year, the word "details" really helped me clarify what I'm looking for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/older-and-attitude#post-1948121 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 23:44:00 +0000 cjh 1948121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Big thumbs up from me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/older-and-attitude#post-1948082 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 20:58:40 +0000 Cardiff girl 1948082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay !go girl ,why should all the young Un s have all the fashion fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/older-and-attitude#post-1948076 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 20:43:26 +0000 Tina 1948076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are living up to your screen name!
