You are so funny! I am not stylish at all. I never was. I try to put a funky necklace and cool earrings on sometimes and then I feel like I am playing dress up. Maybe some day I will be stylish. For now I will just be happy to be regular and blah! : )

ME too. I have to borrow clothes for "events" because I'm generally in old Levi's and a sweatshirt. Hot.

2009-10-14T02:33:09.717-04:00

I have the same frumpy problem. I hate taking off my sweats to put on jeans just to go to the store. And having to go someplace fancier? Major problem.

"At least my clothes match my skin." LOL! You are too funny!

I am with you on this and I am 25! I feel like those people from TLC should come to my house and give me a make over because I look bad!

I know! But what feels better than old jeans and a sweater? Not much for me! I'm very into 'comfy'.

So I love your blog, and I gave you an award today! Come check it out! And keep up the wonderful posting!

Newportnews.com. I LOVE their clothes. Stylish and classy. But they can be a little pricey. Catch things on clearance. (Right now clearance is all summer stuff.)

I know how you feel. I work for the State and am surrounded by people who are much older than I. I don't really care what they think and most of the time it just seems like, why bother? Why bother getting all gussied up to

Stop taking pictures of my wardrobe! (and yes, that is often my work wardrobe as well as my other wardrobe)

2009-10-13T15:23:30.026-04:00

Oh gosh yes. I have somehow managed to forget how to dress. I wander round stores limply picking things up, but not actually being able to put together an outfit, or judge what would look good. Or fit. I'm thinking of sticking to bin bags, as anything I put on looks so crap it may as well be a bin bag.

Anthropology. It works. It's cute, it's trendy, and it's not too young. Try boden.com, too. They aren't the cheapest places in the world, but they do have sales and sales are a good thing. Also, Ann Taylor Loft and Banana Republic offer some great options, too. Even the Gap has stuff that is appropriate for your age. The key is fit. Make sure you aren't buying too

2009-10-13T12:58:41.326-04:00

LOL, I'm right there with ya. However my problem is that I'm still wearing clothes that I've worn for 7 years! I hate shopping so I am just this frumpy looking woman that tries to hide the holes in her pants with safety pins!

It's pretty pathetic.

HA! We're in the same boat. I'm ready to toss out my entire closet.

2009-10-13T12:28:24.218-04:00

I'm nearing 40 and my outfit of choice is a pair of jeans, cotton shirt and some flats. Now that it's getting cooler it will be jeans and a sweater with boots. I try to stay away from sweatshirts 'cause they are just never flattering.

Like I'm a fashion expert.

Go to Old Navy. They have the trendy stuff and it's fairly inexpensive. Just copy what they

A top fashion designer once said "fashion fades but style is eternal." Finding the right mix of design style, color, fabric, and proper garment fit, is always a challenge. If you find clothing that you absolutely love, and it's not a budget buster, then go with your gut instinct. I think the norm for the average-Joe is to dress comfortable-sloppy at home, but dress

Okay Debbie, snap out of it! You are an inspiration to all of us. I've been there, know how you feel. But you have to get up, fix your face, put on something decent and then go SHOPPING! I tell you I have found a new place (new to me) and I love to shop there, NO teeny bopper clothes! I love the Dress Barn, their clothes are so pretty, feminine, and not over priced. Not sure if you have one

I'm trying to figure out comfortable & stylish. I just now it's not supposed to include a fanny pack, so I'm good on that one.

About 5 years ago, I was desperately searching for something to wear to my wedding. I was heavily pregnant (in fact my labour pains started at the wedding party). In a backstreet in Milan's fashion district I bumped into a silver-haired, highly tanned man in a very swish track suit flanked by suits. Only later did I realise it was Giorgio Armani and I should have demanded to know why he didn&

2009-10-13T01:50:48.077-04:00

I know how you feel... I don't like my style lately either. Most of the time I wear my pjs. But even when I go to the store, I still put on my favorite jeans and t-shirt. Boring! Oh well.

2009-10-13T00:14:30.029-04:00

I totally feel your pain on this. I don't want to dress like I am trying to look like a teenager. I also don't want to dress like my mother (ever). The thing I find the most difficult is when you actually have to dress for a night out

2009-10-12T23:43:44.096-04:00

I hear ya! I'm thinking I need a lovely new pair of tall leather boots so I can tuck in my skinny leg jeans and feel chic. I'll let you know how it goes. From one 40 something to another.

2009-10-12T22:44:08.282-04:00

Wow you opened a can of worms here! :) Can't go wrong with a great fitting pair of jeans & nice shoes. And turtlenecks! And twinsets! That's my new mantra. I can't seem to pull off the blouse. Of course, I usually wear ratty jeans, tshirts, a hoodie and my keds when I go out. But then whatever I wear gets various 'kid' fluids on it. At least you don't have that to

2009-10-12T22:42:30.734-04:00

Yes, I'm familiar. As a dumpling-shaped gal, I cannot be fashionable. I avoid frumpiness by wearing a lot of jewelry. At least now, people are goggling at my excess in whole new ways...

2009-10-12T22:19:15.650-04:00

Love the last line.

I indulged in some fake tan on Friday in an effort to look more perky (or alive, one or the other). I am now a blotchy, orange of me.

Moral? Don't bother cares what we look like apart from ourselves.
