Dress code for people over the hill  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 74/100. everlasting (9950) 5 years ago

Many "Old Folks" (those over 40, WAY over 40 or over the hill ) 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 fashions.

Despite 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. Minis skirts 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. Bikinis and liver spots
11. Short shorts and varicose veins
12. Inline skates and a walker

And last, but not least . . .
My personal favorite:

13. Thongs and Depends

Please keep these basic guidelines foremost in your mind when you shop.

Hilarious list. I saw a woman in the salon where I had my first pedi-mani and she had #11-the worst case of vericose veins and loose wrinkled skin over her visible (!)thighs, .Ugh, her hair was silvery platinum and she was heavily and colorfully made up. Usually I feel to each his own, people should enjoy whatever image they want to project, butseeing her gave me pause. Now that nuns have eschewed the traditional habit, maybe we older women should take it up- I would look good in a long black dress, a wimple and veil. Loved your discussion.

ha ha ha! I tried that once and it looks good on me too! When I feel grumpy, i wear mismatched garments.

lol Funny combinations.I never quite saw anyone making such fascinating fashion statements,lol.Just imagining them makes you laugh.Even fashion tv might find it hard to swallow :-P But I don't trust the designers.They can read this and introduce a line of summer collection based on it tomorrow,lol.


myLot reputation of 74/100. everlasting (9950)  5 years ago

He he he! you'd be surprised that there are those who belong to #4, 6 and 11! i could see worse dresser in the malls specially now that it is summertime.


myLot reputation of 99/100. bluewings (2353)   ranked 4 out of 83 in learn new things  5 years ago

Hah! Worse dressers ? I too have had the luck to see them :-P The best compliment I can give them is I can't describe their fashion,lol.


myLot reputation of 74/100. everlasting (9950)  5 years ago

Now that I know these combinations, I'll shock my friends and do this in one of our get togethers!

I think middle aged people don't care anymore about their looks and want at times to catch up with what they did not do when they were younger...
To tell you teh truth younger people should also follow your little points there - they were great!!!!

PS- I hate it when the summer comes and many girls think it is okay to show the mid section which is a ring of fat...


myLot reputation of 74/100. everlasting (9950)  5 years ago

I do agree with you about that middle aged people. They catch up with what they missed. As for those teens, others do not care if the trend do not look good on them. Imagine how they'll look if they grow older!

One more I must add. Big boobs and an unsupportive bra, when you see them hitting their kneecaps while they are wearing a low cut top? Lovely!!!
As the saying goes "mutton dresed as Lamb" is not a pretty site, you can spot them a mile away!!

I am hoping my generation will grow old gracefully and we will not be wearing latex and hugging lycra when we are old?


myLot reputation of 74/100. everlasting (9950)  5 years ago

I hope so too. Lycra and old age do not mix.

You would have cracked up laughing at the expression on my face when I read your title to this discussion. I thought a dress code for people over the hills. In my head popped if that don't beat all. Then I started to read your dress code for people over the hill and started to crack up laughing. This is hilarious! The title of the discussion was the hook that was thrown out and I took the bait hook line and sinker. Thanks for making my day. Excellent discussion title. It definitely caught my eye.


myLot reputation of 74/100. everlasting (9950)  5 years ago

Glad you liked it!

Well with me being a man, seeing any male in a speedo makes me sick, but I can't stomach the thought of some old geezer with a hairy back in a speedo walking by me. Don't you love it when you drive by and see some old man with his shirt off mowing the grass. Now ladies, I know it turns you on seeing a woman in a thong now doesn't it (NOT)!


myLot reputation of 74/100. everlasting (9950)  5 years ago

He he he! Yeah, we have dress standards and those not acceptable to us, we laughed at or sneered at.
