This months O magazine advises us women of " a certain age" to get rid of the following items of clothing which age us.
Holiday Sweaters ( I knew that)
Shirts with anything written on them ( Goodbye Happy Bunny!)
Nude Hose ( really?) In fact it's better not to wear anything.... I knew it all along.
Senior citizen pastels....oh crap.. they got me on this one. No more lavender T-shirts? Aqua? Mint? Butter? Mauve? How about Taupe???
Oh and we mustn't show our tummies no matter how fit we are unless we are at the beach.... yeah right.

No more Hello Kitty hoodies, too?
Hm.
You know, Oprah has lost a little credibility with me. Did you see her introductory speech for Obama in Iowa? She mentioned, multiple times, our nation's addiction to oil.
Well, HELLO? I AM NOT THE ONE WHO drove from L.A. to NYC in a Chevy for no real reason, had a film crew following in a SECOND VEHICLE, and called it entertainment, lady!
I think you can wear all the pastels you want, Rain. We can revisit the issue when Oprah and her entire staff start walking to work or taking the L.
The last mint I ever wore was a maternity bridesmaid dress.
That got tossed A LOOOOONG time ago.
Showing tummies here in the Midwest is not a question of age as it is a question of SEASON! ~ jb///
I'm showing my gut when ever I damned well please and Oprah, who I still love despite some of the stuff that rolls out of her mouth, can bite my blubbery old belly.
Color is always a personal choice Opy, who says so, Lori P, that's who!
love ya Rainy,
mean it!

I think that list could be altered just a bit..within good taste :p
Besides..what does Oprah know anyway? lol
The only clothing I gave up upon achieving that "certain age" was my mini-skirt, and that was on advice from What Not To Wear, not Oprah. And colour-wise, well, I did stop dying my hair red a few years ago when I realized all the crazy ol' ladies ubiquitous at bus-stops and muttering to themselves in supermarkets seemed to have dyed-red hair. I think the pastel thing is more about the fabric than the actual shade (nothing from Sears for us!)
I agree with your other commenters on the Oprah thing. Anyway, the "certain age" is also known as the "invisible age" - so basically we can do whatever we want, yippee!
