This way, it's assumed that what's under there is still good, rather than showing that it is not.Īlso very important (I am guilty of this, but I fight it), do not mistake an article of clothing that is comfortable for one that looks good. I would rather wear an evening gown with covered up arms now, than something that showed parts of me that are less than good. The trick to growing older gracefully is to become more ladylike and less trendy.

lol!!!!Īre you wearing the same hairstyle you wore in high school?Īre you exposing body parts that are not attractive? Such as arm pits that look like they could grow mushrooms?Īre you wearing a two piece bathing suit? I do not care if you think you still look OK, trust me, you don't.Īre you wearing skirts more than a few inches above the knee? Stop it.Īre you wearing things that show cleavage, after your chest skin has gotten 1. I can guarantee you I look very well put-together. Never heard of white lingerie being a "faux-pas/grand-motherly".and I do own/wear them. ^^So you wear a colored bra w/ivory and/or white blouses? So if my strap accidently shows (which is hardly ever) people might get a glimpse of a bright turquoise, black, or red, but never a gramma-white bra strap. If you surveyed women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and above, you'll find that hardly anyone under 50 wears, or even owns a white bra.
So take some hormones and wear some appropriate sleeves! Or just accept that everyone will see you as "old."Īnd I mean that about the white bra strap.
Now, I'm someone who's always hot (and I'm not menopausal) but having a few inches covering my shoulders and upper arms isn't going to make me unbearably hot. Flabby arms, often topped of by a revealed white bra strap hanging out, say "Look at me-I'm older than dirt!"Įven when it's not summer, they sometimes go sleeveless while complaining of having hot flashes.

No one needs to see arm pits, even if your arms are perfect, in a professional setting.īut some women "of maturity" insist on wearing them at work in the summer. Sleeveless tops only look good on very toned arms.
