Unusual Saturday Postings

I know, right?! I only decided that since I am home anyway, I might as well post.  The intention today was to go to a charity poker run, but after learning that the quiz's I posted to class last night were the wrong ones I had to scramble this morning to complete the correct quiz's.  Fun be gone. As a result of staying home I got sidetracked as usual and well, here you have the results of my getting sidetracked.

 

 While I have you here, there is something I've been meaning to address  since a friend brought it up.  She mentioned to me the other day that she liked my blog, "but, most women over the age of 40 don't look like you Kim."  So, given that, I wanted to make something very clear.  I don't expect anyone to attempt to look like  me. The primary intention of this blog is to help myself, first and foremost, figure me out. I'm no expert at anything; my life is lived by trial and error.  If I happen to get some really great advise from someone and it works for me, so be it.  That makes me happy.  If I fail, then I learn from that mistake and drive on.  
I realize like so many of you, that I am different.  I don't fit into anyone's mold nor do I meet everyone's expectations.  I am imperfect and prone to making mistakes. On the flip side of that thought, it is my hopes that someone over the age of forty will look at my successes and failures and learn from them or help improve on them.  That's why we have the comments section below. 
Furthermore, this blog, while titled and geared to a specific age group, really isn't solely intended for us old folk.  Luckily, fashion in recent years has begun to blur the lines between generations (yay). You hear it all the time, 40 is the new 30 and 50 is the new 40. I'm not trying to prolong my younger years. I'm simply trying to dress better with my age progression and create a confidence within myself.  Let's face it, we all get in a rut at times. Some of us crawl out of it and move on. Others need a bit more shoving.  I hope that whatever your needs or intentions are when you read this blog, you get something, anything from it. Thus far all feedback has been wonderful and that's why I continue to post.  I like the person within me that emerges once I post my photos.  I'm not lost to myself and that's something that is really important to us all.  I hope you continue to have a great weekend and it's quite possible that if I complete my homework today, I'll post again tomorrow.

These jeans are so old the buttons on the pockets have fallen off. To refashion old jeans simply roll up the pants legs. Because the neck of this top is so wide, I'm uncomfortable wearing alone.  Layer a tank underneath.  Today the weather is such that I can do that.
