Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	I like it when women and girls have their own style and don't just go with all the latest trends. That's when you get in to cookie cutter fashion where everyone looks the same. I'm not a big shopper, but twice a year I go to the outlets with a few girlfriends. We know one another's styles and walk through the stores picking out clothes for one another. our choices are usually right on. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Wish I lived near Dotsie. I could use someone else's advice on what to buy. Sometimes I'll buy something, get it home and then wish I hadn't bought it, after all. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	Style of dress changes with the aging process. This new sleeveless style is fine for the First Lady and those her age and younger. But when the upper arm isn't as firm as it once was, a person can feel self-conscious when bearing little or no muscle. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

browser57 Member Registered: 06/07/05 Posts: 242 Loc: Michigan	I will never go sleeveless again. I am fit and have worked out since my 30's but age and heredity have taken a toll on my upper arms. Also, had a water skiing accident when I was a kid and now that the fatty layer is not as firm, the muscle really looks distorted. I saw that in the mirror one day and could not for the life of me figure out what caused it. It finally dawned on me one day - of course I was only 10 when I fell on the skis. My arm got tangled in the tow rope and dragged me quite a distance before my Dad even noticed that I had fallen. So, anyway, I dread shopping, even for summer tops and tees anymore. Have to have 3/4 or elbow length sleeves - period....

jabber Member Registered: 02/17/05 Posts: 10032 Loc: New York State	browser57, I fully understand. I've exercised for years but still my upper arm isn't very attractive. I shop for only 3/4 or elbow length sleeves, too. Age sure messes up firmness. _________________________ https://www.amazon.com/author/bonnie.mill-lemke https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/bookshelf

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Funny, I never wear dresses. Just last week while outlet shopping, I found a light weight denim, cap sleeve dress and bought it. Yes, it shows my dented upper arms, but I decided to buy it and wear it anyway. Now, I must say that I will never wear short, shorts again because there are way too many dents in my upper legs, way too many - NEVER! _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Josie Member Registered: 11/08/05 Posts: 1211 Loc: NJ	I always loved the Jackie Kennedy style. In movies I loved the way Barbra Streisand was dressed. For myself, I went through many different looks as a youthful, skinny, flat-chested girl. My shape has changed A LOT now. lol I can wear crazy eclectic loungewear to periods of dressing in all black. I call it my Johnny Cash look. Whatever I wear, it has to be comfortable. My latest obsession is long flowing feminine nighties (at night of course lol) My shoes are always flat, open-toe'd, and low heels for special occasions. Comfort is key! _________________________ Josie
