...you feel like your body type is decades out of style--you sometimes lament that you should have been a young adult in the 60s (instead of, in my case, just being born in them).
Oh my, yes to ALL of the above. So sad to realize that I lived through the 80s and 90s pretty much as a frump because I had to steer clear of bombshell territory constantly. Still do, but I can handle such situations better now and have more freedom to choose how and where I have to "appear."
So many sad chuckles too to the one about tucking button fronts into pencil skirts. It was such freedom once it dawned on me that it wasn't a law I had to follow! Also learned to avoid many skinny-belted looks, such as over longer shirts, sweaters, and tunics.
