I stumbled across this article looking for some good news to post. It especially stood out for me because today I qualify for Social Security. The author is a couple of decades younger than me, but man oh man can I empathize with what she says. I also agree with some of the comments below the article that as we age we care less about what others think.

Some time back I saw an article about things women over 50 should not wear. One of them was t-shirts with sayings on them! WTF!?!?! I love my t-shirts that express myself. I get positive comments from others when I wear them.

Awhile back some of my co-workers commented on my wrinkles and wondered if I was going to do something about them. My thought was "Yeah, wear them with pride! I earned every last one of 'em!"

And yet some woman-child who thinks she’s all grown up is going to tell me what I can’t wear anymore because I’m too old?

Seriously. **** that noise.

It’s partially because I am “old” that I’ve stopped caring about what’s socially acceptable for me to do or wear. I got my first tattoo at 40. This year, I had my hair dyed teal. And you know what? It looks fantastic. My favorite pair of shoes are my Doc Martin boots, and I dare any child on the internet who’s probably younger than some of the underwear I own to try to tell me I can no longer wear them.

Happy Birthday, Liz!

I read an article recently that was one of those "Women over fifty shouldn't..." I decided that having such a limited perspective on age is plain ridiculous. Wear your t-shirts with pride!
