So, I'm digging through my closet and I come across these.
Shirts of my past. Ok, some are a little more recent:-)When I was 40 and only looked around 30ish, (no snickers please) I purchased many t-shirts that looked like this one below. I was also all of 125 pounds soaking wet. I ran a lot and watched what I ate and devoutly did yoga every single late night of my life. Why? I was going through a divorce.
The other night I heard my husband tell a friend of mine that after his divorce he went through this period where he sampled the much younger woman. He didn't know why other than he just wanted to prove to himself he still had it. I think that's what I was going through when I purchased these shirts.
That crazy period may have even contributed to my getting a tattoo. Who knows? But there comes a time when you must simply reason with yourself and rid your closets of all that spells too much youth (think tiny jean skirt). I am woman, hear me roar! Well, maybe not roar, but you know what I mean.
This shirt actually looks good on me, but just the other day while leaving Target I spotted a girl that had to be under the age of 13 wearing this same shirt. I don't want to be compared to a 13 year old. So this one t-shirt that looks good on me has to go find a home probably with one of the neighborhood 13year olds:-(
