Leslie Snow: Still too young to 'dress my age'

I slipped the dress over my head and smiled at my reflection in the dressing room mirror. Jordan said what I was thinking.As it's called Nike shox classic, which is one of the classical style of nike lineup. “It fits you perfectly! What a fun dress!” Then she said, “I can't wait to borrow it.” We both laughed.where you can buy high fashion buy cheap jeans online in very low price,buy wholesale jeans from Jean-mall now!

I packed up our clothes and headed to the checkout counter. It had been a successful shopping trip. Plus the dress was 30 percent off, a win-win all around. We walked out of the store feeling happy.

As I was putting my clothes in the car, I heard a voice call out, “Hello, you two!” I turned and smiled at the familiar face. It was someone I knew from soccer or school,Nike Air trainers began life as the Cheap nike air max back in 1987. maybe the mother of one of the kid's friends or a teacher from years past. I offered an I-forgot-your-name “Hello there,” and we chatted about the end of school and plans for the summer. Then she smiled and said, “Look how cute the two of you are; you even dress alike!” The conversation died naturally after that, and we headed home. I was left to ponder her remark the rest of the afternoon, and Jordan was left to listen to me ponder.

“Jordan,Replica shoes and discount designer shoes provided for you. do I dress too young?” I asked as I came down the stairs wearing my new dress. “There is a little ruffle at the bottom. Is it a youthful ruffle or an adult ruffle? It's a date-night dress. Isn't there some leeway for date night?” I'm sure she said something encouraging, but I wasn't listening. I was letting my anxiety pour out.

“When I graduated from high school my grandmother pulled me aside and said, ‘Leslie, you're a young lady now. It's time you started dressing like one.' When I graduated from college, she pulled me aside again and said, ‘Leslie, you're a college graduate now. It's time you started dressing like an adult.' Clearly I've had a problem dressing my age even when I was young enough to wear anything I wanted.”

And then,Buy wholesale air max boot products on TradeTang and high quality air max boot directly from trustworthy Chinese air max boot wholesalers & suppliers. as if to really bring the point home, the next day a survey popped up on my computer screen from some company called Diet Chef. The survey showed that most women think certain styles should have an expiration date. Much of my wardrobe had already expired.

Evidently I should have said goodbye to my Ugg boots two years ago along with my leggings. I'm a little confused about giving up sneakers at 44. What should middle-aged women wear to the gym? My denim mini-skirt should have been retired 12 years ago, and I have to give away my leather boots by my next birthday. I sighed deeply as I read through the don't-wear list.”

The truth is, in my mind I haven't aged a bit in the last 20 years. I'm the same person I have always been, even if gravity plays a cruel joke on me now and again.

That's the problem with dressing my age. I don't feel any older. Plus, when it's cold on the soccer field, Ugg boots are perfect. And I really like leggings. My grandmother wouldn't approve, I know, but I'm going to wear my new dress with the ruffles when I go out Saturday night. And when the dress really does expire, I hope I'm old enough to know it.
