40 year old women should not wear...

what?

long hair?
ponytails?
barrettes?
short skirts?
puffy sleeves?
pink lipstick?

What are the rules these days? Are there any? Should there be?

Wear what you want, but I'll make fun of you if you have anything written across your butt.

Re: 40 year old women should not wear...

I'm sure I've said it before but I don't think 40 year old women should dress like 18 year old girls.

(And I don't think that 18 year old girls should dress like 6 year old girls)

Beyond that, I'm not sure what the rules are. But I think as long as said 40 yo women aren't shopping at dELIA*S they're probably fine.

Hee. I saw that. So, juicy is out. I have to say puffy sleeves and too many ruffles are a bit OTT. I have a sister who has a ton of rules and I break most of them. The school marm look is not an option.

May I recommend a short pixie. It is so easy on arthritic fingers.

My hair is shoulder length and I pull it back when I run, am lazy, hot or just busy. Come to think of it, it is usually in a messy bun...or a barrette. My DS would be appalled.

I´m sure hoping so. I shared that tidbit with my BIL who is a tad despondent over turning 50.

Belly shirts come to mind.

I'm not a big believer in spaghetti straps or strapless over a certain age - I don't care how toned they are, Madonna and Susan Sarandon still look like mutton dressed as lamb.

Nah. That done happened years ago.

FWIW, it ain´t no big thang, though apparently there is a secret set of rules that I ám constantly breaking. I get a pass from my sis b/c I live in yourup.
