My Big Reveal!
So... when I was and still adjusting to MY "Endolescence" - where your body, your mind, your hormones and your expectations are jumbled in a ball if not ricocheting throughout you. And Im trying to navigate to land at some comfortable place in my young older age — I decide I need a new style to help carry me through.
I am vain enough to try and find a style for this next decade:
1. I'm lazy so my hair is longer and grayer but I'm no Scandinavian beauty like those women populating Pinterest... So I'll just keep my hair pulled back in a hopefully sophisticated ponytail. Save some money that way too.
2. I've always hated all makeup except of course for eye makeup and I have a lot more time... So... I'll work on a tan (spray and sun intermittently) and voila = I no longer look like a stalk of celery.
3. And sunglasses - always loved accessorizing - now I need all kinds of glasses to see far and wide and close and tiny. So... The bigger and darker the better. Plus it keeps me away from strangers.
4. Lastly crisp cotton white tailored shirts are a classic for any age. Stand up collars and folded cuffs are just too completely cool. So... Still love them and still wear them whenever I can. I'm way past Chico's (no frills or bling) but I'm not dead (will never do polyester). So... My colors are black, white and gray (to match my hair)... And sometimes a surprise beige in there somewhere.
And who do I look like?
Caught myself in a reflection the other day...
And oh my God I look like...
Wait for it...
