Many of us over 50 . . . WAY over 50 . . . are quite confused about how we should present ourselves. We're unsure about the kind of image we are projecting and whether or not we are correct as we try to conform to current fashions. And for those of you receiving this who are nowhere near 50 yet, keep reading anyway . . . you'll be there. Despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided: 1. A nose ring and bifocals 2. Spiked hair and bald spots 3. A pierced tongue and dentures 4. Miniskirts and support hose 5. Ankle bracelets and corn pads 6. Speedos and cellulite 7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar 8. Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor 9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge 10. Pierced nipples that hang below the waist 11. Bikinis and liver spots 12. Short shorts and varicose veins 13. In-line skates and a walker And the ultimate 'Bad Taste' in fashion: 14. A thong and Depends Please keep these basic guidelines foremost in your mind when you shop. Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we might as well dance!!!

I'm over 50 and to tell you the truth, I don't really care what I wear during my personal time / during my physical work days. Just the other day driving back from my cottage, I had a dirty black coat on, stretched jogging pants with dirty knees, thick winter wool socks and my rubber ducks (which are like rubber slippers). Had dirty hands and skinned knuckles from a slipped wrench (trying to previously fix a flat wheel on my wheel barrel). I stopped at Tim Hortons for a washroom break + coffee and seen a young lady do a "double take" at me - as I walked into the door. I watched her eyes go down my body and look up my body. Then, her face cringed with disgust. As I walked closer to her, I looked closer at her face (since I wasn't wearing my driving glasses then) and noticed one of those steel ring pins in her nose. Ya. And she looked at me like I was weird. I then went to washroom, got my coffee and went on my happy way. IMO, if they don't like what I wear on my personal time (like DIY work days), then too bad. They don't need to make a comment. Just like I don't make a comment about their nose ring. Luckily, I dress for my working conditions and not to please others... !!
