The woman even had on a white fur and white hair in a poof. I couldn't help but stare at them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-saw-at-the-mall#post-480906 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 21:43:20 +0000 bj1111 480906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ROLL ON!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-saw-at-the-mall#post-480695 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 15:20:13 +0000 nicoleb 480695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL @ AJ. I am going to be secret password-ing every Fab chic i see with high hopes from now on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-saw-at-the-mall#post-480675 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 14:50:45 +0000 Janet 480675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know what's funny? That will be the future for the cute 20-year-olds I see walking around in the baggiest, frumpiest, most figure-hiding clothes -- think oversized tees and their boyfriends' sweatpants. In a couple of decades they're going to smack their heads and say, "Why did I dress to hide myself when I was so young and cute?" And they'll proceed in their middle-aged years to wear all the stuff others think they're too old to wear. </p> <p>:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-saw-at-the-mall#post-480637 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 12:54:51 +0000 JennyAnne 480637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-saw-at-the-mall#post-480618 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 10:47:16 +0000 Fruitful 480618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel better after reading that Bloggess post Sharon! I love it. Life is too short to not wear the short dress (or whatever it is we exclude ourselves from). I get it now. What a privilege for you to see those women - we can talk body acceptance 'til the cows come home but actually seeing it is much more powerful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-saw-at-the-mall#post-480616 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 10:45:50 +0000 CocoLion 480616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Sharon! Thanks for the link, I laughed out loud. I am going to share it with my 78 year old mother tomorrow!</p> <p>I am for freedom of clothing choice for everyone, not just the 12 to 34 year old set. So regardless of whether I like or disliked the way these ladies dressed, I would have admired their elan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-saw-at-the-mall#post-480612 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 10:10:56 +0000 Sharon 480612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It wasn't so much the skin as the youthful styles of the clothes and shoes that caught my eye. The Bloggess wrote a great column about the evolution of body image, and concluded that older women own their awesomeness, and do what they please. I find that thought enormously comforting!</p> <p><a href="http://thestir.cafemom.com/big_kid/124834/lesson_22_body_acceptance_for" rel="nofollow">http://thestir.cafemom.com/big.....ptance_for</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-saw-at-the-mall#post-480600 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 08:15:22 +0000 Fruitful 480600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like they were having fun Sharon? Is this a Queensland thing? More skin seems to be shown there generally. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-saw-at-the-mall#post-480590 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 07:34:56 +0000 AJ 480590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You should have tried the secret password with them! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-i-saw-at-the-mall#post-480537 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 04:10:30 +0000 Sharon 480537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to stare, because I couldn't quite believe my eyes....</p> <p>Two older ladies, I would guess at least 60 on a shopping trip together. Both wearing little quite-a-bit-above-the-knee dresses, one lacy and straight, the other light and full-skirted. Both wearing platform wedges with cork heels. Both with full make-up.</p> <p>It was like one of those movies where teenagers swap bodies with their parents. I've decided MDAL anxiety only exists when you're young enough to give a damn what other people think. Roll on 60! </p>
