    Default Fashion Know How

    Got this as an email today and couldn't resist posting.....

    Many of us over 50, WAY over 50, or on the way to 50 are quite confused about how we should present ourselves. We're unsure about the kind of image we are projecting and whether or not we are correct as we try to conform to current fashion.

    In spite of what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and should be avoided:

    1. A nose ring and bifocals

    2. Spiked hair and bald spots

    3. A pierced tongue and dentures

    4. Miniskirts and support hose

    5. Ankle bracelets and corn pads

    6. Speedo's and cellulite

    7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar

    8. Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor

    9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge

    10. Pierced nipples that hang below the waist

    11. Bikinis and liver spots.

    12... Short shorts and varicose veins.

    13. Inline skates and a walker..

    And the ultimate 'Bad Taste' in fashion for the older folks...

    14. Thongs and Depends.

    Please keep these basic guidelines foremost in your mind when you shop.
    Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

    The ones that bug me the most:
    1. Showing one's crack.
    2. Showing one's bare belly hanging over the waistband.

    PS: Exceptions: bathing suit attire; after all, it's bound to happen at the beach.

    Too funny. Thanks for the morning laugh.
