I am about to turn 50 and just spent the last few days riding roller coasters and doing magic spells with a wand at Harry Potter world. Age ain't nothing but a number! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-dont-buy-stuff-in-stores-for-mature-women/page/2#post-1628133 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 23:16:27 +0000 MsMaven 1628133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to watch the Andy Griffith show and am amazed to learn that Aunt Bea was only 59. I had one grandmother and some great aunts who dressed like that, but the other grandmother was more likely to wear a nice suit, a hat, earrings and and a brooch.&nbsp;</p> <p>I hadn't thought about it, but the older movies and TV shows definitely dressed women according to age and class. Then the 60s came along.&nbsp;</p> <p>For a long time my expectations were that I would some day dress and look like my mother's proper generation during the 50s through the 70s. I don't think any of them ever wore jeans or even a tee shirt.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fascinating food for thought, Nebraskim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-dont-buy-stuff-in-stores-for-mature-women/page/2#post-1628110 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 22:16:56 +0000 Nebraskim 1628110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The idea of "mature" style interests me as a "mature" woman. Rachylou mentioned how "old" women looked in films from the 1930s. I watch a lot of old shows on METV (a retro station), especially shows like Perry Mason and The Andy Griffith Show. These were made in the late 1950s to mid 1960s and it's interesting to not the fashion decisions made by the wardrobe people. In the Mason show, they very much used clothing to denote class, age and other signifiers for women. "Fallen" or "loose" women often were somewhat tarted up. Rich women ALWAYS are depicted in furs. Everyone smoked. In the Griffith show, the character of Aunt Bea and her friends always wear shirtwaist house dresses, suits &nbsp;and little hats. The only women who wear pants are teen girls or Andy and Barney's girl friends, who may wear pedal pusher slacks to a picnic.&nbsp;The woman who played Aunt Bea was 59 when the show started. They dressed her to look so frumpy, but that was also how many women of that age dressed then. I find this interesting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-dont-buy-stuff-in-stores-for-mature-women#post-1628107 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 22:09:38 +0000 Suz 1628107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look absolutely sensational!!!

Period. 1628030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! I think you look fab! </p> <p>And I totally agree with not shopping in stores targeted at mature women. &nbsp;I wish we could drop that age qualifier and just start referring to them as stores for conservative fashions--more coverage, boxier fits, quieter colors. &nbsp;Perfectly fine, if that's what makes you feel happy and pretty, but if not? &nbsp;Why do they think a butterfly has to turn into a moth as it gets older?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-dont-buy-stuff-in-stores-for-mature-women#post-1628009 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 17:50:16 +0000 AviaMariah 1628009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are fab. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-dont-buy-stuff-in-stores-for-mature-women#post-1627966 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 16:13:48 +0000 Anonymous 1627966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're looking fabulous MsMaven! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-dont-buy-stuff-in-stores-for-mature-women#post-1627935 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 15:20:14 +0000 Beth Ann 1627935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are ready for anything in this outfit, and clearly, your great-nephew is enjoying hanging out with you. &nbsp;I imagine the cashmere is good for a long hug, too! &nbsp;And skinnies don't get hung up in the gears!</p> <p>Actually, I think you do look mature, but then, maturity is about wisdom and patience and graciousness, and is certainly not a synonym for old!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-dont-buy-stuff-in-stores-for-mature-women#post-1627854 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:47:47 +0000 Summer 1627854@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun, and casually chic. &nbsp;The "mature" stores wouldn't let you in.<br />Your great nephew is so sweet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/why-i-dont-buy-stuff-in-stores-for-mature-women#post-1627848 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 07:51:32 +0000 Jane 1627848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!
