I would have never guessed you were 55!&nbsp; You rock and so does your fab style!</p> <p>I only wear three part bras, so the seaming tends to peek through tees no matter what.

You look fab, naturally. </p> <p>I think our we YLF seniors confuse youngsters because we don't walk around in elastic waist pants and oversized pink sweatshirts.

I love your style regardless of age, but I hope to be as rockin' in seven years when I catch up to 55. You always look so great in tonal looks, and this one is no exception. The addition of the necklace is brilliant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-get-the-senior-discount#post-990012 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 12:44:00 +0000 merwoman 990012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are ageless Denise!&nbsp; Love this outfit on you - your signature style.&nbsp;<br /> I've got very sensitive skin and find smooth and sleek undergarments work best for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-get-the-senior-discount#post-989969 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 10:52:08 +0000 Krista 989969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, teenagers! So cute!<br /> This outfit is fabulous - no wonder he was confused! YLF!<br /> I can't wear lace bras so I can't comment. But I can say that with my own finicky rules about things, I would probably go with a smooth bra under a t-shirt. I would spend a lot of time worrying about whether or not it was bumpy under the shirt. I clearly need some help.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-get-the-senior-discount#post-989963 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 10:41:34 +0000 Jaime 989963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adore your outfit. The necklace is perfect here!

Denise, you are one fab senior and you certainly show them (us!) how it's done - you have the best sort of&nbsp;<i><b>cool</b></i>&nbsp;about you, and also&nbsp;by the bucketloads.</p> <p>As for exciting life, it is crazy when dinner shopping is the highlight of the social week - tell me about it (recipe please for that chicken? Sounds delicious.)</p> <p>The outfit... I see so much grey on the forum these days and I love it. Your summer take on&nbsp;head-to-toe grey is&nbsp;simply stellar.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-get-the-senior-discount#post-989909 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 07:13:04 +0000 Hil 989909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing!

Glad you don't mind being old enough to get the discount...you look like you're sipping from the fountain of youth though! Funny side note, for some reason my DH got an AARP card in the mail when he was 35. I joked that it was because he was a grumpy old man on the inside, LOL! </p> <p>Lace bras are fine under T's!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-get-the-senior-discount#post-989869 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 05:21:07 +0000 Adelfa 989869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE your outfit. Love the toning colors from boots to tee, subtle and scrumptious, and of course the pop at the neck. And the arm candy. Everything! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-get-the-senior-discount#post-989866 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 05:18:53 +0000 lyn* 989866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whoa. You look fabulous - I love this column of awesome grey and your lipstick colour is so wow.&nbsp; </p> <p>I think the lace bra works to add texture! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-get-the-senior-discount#post-989842 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 04:12:30 +0000 Caro in Oz 989842@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this look - it suits you so well. </p> <p>It depends on the bra &amp; the tee imo - trial &amp; error. Which is why I tend to stick to a smooth bra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-get-the-senior-discount#post-989833 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 03:57:17 +0000 CocoLion 989833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your kind comments! &nbsp;I was asked the senior discount question when I was 53 and it really INSULTED me!!! &nbsp;Probably bad lighting that day right? &nbsp;;-) &nbsp;But now I'm happy to get the 5% - 10%&nbsp;discount that local stores offer.</p> <p>Lyn I don't receive any retirement benefits until I'm around 67. &nbsp;So I'm not really a senior. &nbsp;But in the US AARP (the American Association of Retired People) says anyone over 50 is a senior! &nbsp;At the movies it's 60 when you're a senior and at the ski resort it's 65. &nbsp;So you see I have been studying aspects of&nbsp;being a senior!</p> <p>As for the bra question, I have recently started to enjoy wearing lace bras because they make me feel feminine and attractive. &nbsp;Even if they leave lumps and bumps. &nbsp;But sometimes it annoys me how the bra clings to the tee more than with smooth bras. &nbsp;It's true they are a little scratchy but all bras have some aspect of discomfort. &nbsp; </p> </p> <p>ETA Jaquar -- thanks for the Simone Perele tip! &nbsp;I love her bras, I have three of them they are all combined memory foam and lace, so the best of both worlds. &nbsp;I do agree that going for better quality makes a difference in the lace bra; also it needs to be at least a 2 if not a 3 part cup for uplift.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-get-the-senior-discount#post-989822 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 03:40:20 +0000 DeclawedJaguar 989822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, you look fantastic for any age! Lovely tonal outfit, and those boots are just delicious.</p> <p>I have to come to the defense of lace bras. All lace is not equal!&nbsp;I too used to think lace was itchy, until I tried a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/simone-perele-celeste-underwire-demi-plunge-bra/3196119?origin=PredictiveSearch-personalizedsort&amp;contextualcategoryid=2375500&amp;fashionColor=Black&amp;resultback=1002&amp;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_3_D">Simone Perele Celeste</a>&nbsp;bra. It is so soft, I forget that I have it on, and I have very, very sensitive skin. As far as lace under Ts, I agree with Suz - it depends on the T and the bra. As long as it doesn't show too much, I have no problem with lace under Ts. And when it's as hot as it's been recently, there is no way I'm wearing a thick, padded&nbsp;T-shirt bra! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-get-the-senior-discount#post-989818 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 03:36:07 +0000 Lyn D. 989818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am flabergasted that the 'Seniors' discount age&nbsp;there is 55! Shouldn't it co-incide with the Retirement age?<br />Here it is 65 I think, and when I get there I am not sure that I will be owning up to it either </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-get-the-senior-discount#post-989809 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 03:16:41 +0000 Deborah 989809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, I might have just hugged that young man!!&nbsp; I love your outfit , it's the tonal thing that you do so incredibly well.&nbsp; Regarding bras I am boring and tend to wear black and smooth under everything but I do think this looks fine on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---to-get-the-senior-discount#post-989808 Thu, 25 Jul 2013 03:13:21 +0000 amiable 989808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too want to look like you when I'm 55 - no wonder he didn't believe you (I wouldn't either!).</p> <p>I wear a lace bra quite frequently. &nbsp;It works under all but the super thin tissue-weight Tees that I have. &nbsp;The tissue-weight one stick to it and show the bumps. </p>
