Yes you can be fabulous!

Gosh darn- you can be sexy and fabulous at any age!

Mini Skirts

Again, saying over 40 is a tad too broad-- excuse the pun!

Some over 40's can get away with a shorter skirt- black tights and high boots- not many but some!

Again, lots of the under 40's cant get away with it either- but they try!

So, shorter skirt- not just under the woo-hoo- and black tights- little flats--- and jut maybe you can pull it off.

Denim mini-micro- mini-- should we even have to have this discussion??

Plunge V necklines

Yes, I somewhat agree on this- depends on the length of the V- the tone of the skin. If you have been hanging out with the housewives of Orange County or Donatella Verscace with the crepey necks and such- cover it up!

If you are in good shape, have good texture=== and if you have a little extra padding- actually a nice V- can highlight your best feature-- full breasts- and take away from the eyes looking at the fuller hips!

Goddess sakes here think of the Italian superstars--ahhh I cant remember their names- menopausal moment--- but I will add later!

If you are a skinny fart with sun damaged skin- no V's fuller figured with nice skin--- try a touch!

Low Rise ass showing jeans!

Again, these are soooo out! For anyage- of any weight!

Pass them on- to use as scraps--- not on your ass!

Cropped pants

Actually- I am not a fan of these for any women- but I am old school and prefer classic clothes. Having said that capris- ala Audrey Hepburn- worn close to the ankles and narrower are very classic.....

So go ahead and wear these. It is actually one of the casual looks I like on women over 60!

Neon Colours

Well, again the image does not match the comments.

Neon colours should never be worn by anyone over the age of 6! Unless they of course are 'artistic' youth--- or working on a construction crew, riding a bike at night or other safety issue endeavours!

However -bright colours! Yes you can wear them- bright red- fuchsia -- hot pink- in a splash or two- of course it adds spice!

You are not dead yet!

Pleated pants

This girl is so silly- Did she write this in the 80-'s? Again NO -no one should wear pleated pants- well there are a few styles that more 'draped' than pleated-- and those are fab!

Nope- you put these away- at any age!

Bikinis

Again, sorry! I have seen MANY women over 40 who look HOT in bikinis- and many under 40 who should not be wearing them.

I think most fashions can be worn by women of any (almost)age- it is the body that makes the difference- not the clothes.

Sorry, but if you are in shape you have more choices- if you are not in shape you are limited to what the public wants to see.....

So ladies get your sneakers on and enjoy the wonderful bounty of great clothes you can wear if you are HOT!

Sleeveless Shirts

Again, I disagree I know many women over 40 that can wear sleeveless well. Sorry but it is the out of shape and overweight that should NEVER be seen like this!

Keep your arms in shape and you can wear sleeveless-

How-ever the top that the original writer put in her article- well you should not wear this 'anywear' but the cabin and the backyard- gardening.... at any age!

Jackets at mid thigh

Jackets at mid thigh-- hmmm- I think most women cannot get away with this unless they are very tall- the image selected does not exactly show a jacket that I am opposed to.

It is well cut- a bit of a princess line- but most women do not need a line that cuts them at the thigh- unless they are tall and thin- Then any age can wear it!

This jacket actually looks like it could be a tad longer and narrowed a bit and be worn just above the knee- nice

Silly original writer!

10 things women over 40 should not wear

This is not an original of mine- I stole it from another site--

but I sure do have some comments on this.

1) Women over 40 should not wear black leather pants.

Original writer- unless this article was posted in re-new era of black leather pants-- NO ONE should wear black leather pants- even rock stars- This is 2009!

BAD - period!

oh my goddess! My way of saying Oh my god---this is about us women! Goddesses

I have left you alone for far too long.
Okay- the update on my 'withdrawal'..... was not bad. I was more scared than anything during the 2 weeks after, bad heartburn but that was about all. The weight started falling off, the liver thing corrected all was good.
Then the hormone thing= well I guess the pregnant mare stuff can make you bloated and cause stomach pain (I of course went off the nasty anti-depressants and the hormones at the same time!). Soon the night sweats and day sweats started --- .
Now for over a week been on the lowest dose of a hormone patch- so far good sleep, mind seems restored, moods are even and night sweats gone!


As bugs bunny would say ------- thhhaaaaaaaat alll folks.
for today.
