1. I have yet to see a pair of white leggings that are not see through. So if you don't have a see through kind of body, stick to the darker color leggings.
2. It's OK to wear the baby doll or princess shirts when you are over 40 - people can look at your age and know exactly that you are not pregnant.3. Do not wear anything with any words like PINK or JUICE or anything else on your butt. People your age can actually read and will read your butt.
4. Push up bras were made for boobs that still had some type of perk to them, over 40 boobs will push up and fall out on a regular basis. Make sure the bra looks realistic - no one wants to see your boobs touching your chin.
5. Think twice about florals - you'll either look like a curtain or and old lady - the louder the print the more you'll see the sea of people parting for you.
6. If you are wearing a thong, no one wants to know. At your age it will scare most of your children's friends if they spy a "whale tail" coming out of your jeans.
7. Your skirt length tells your style - too short = cougar, too long = grandma....just right above the knee so you can still show off the legs you've been working so hard on.
8. Hip reading glasses - that makes being blind a little bit more manageable.
9. Cute shoes - you can worry about your feet later. If you don't have the clothes then blow them away with the shoes.
10. Have fun with your clothing - it's more fun to dress up as the Chiquita Banana Lady to pickup your kids from school then the sweats and baseball hat.
11. Try it before you buy it - especially if it is on sale. Nobody wants a hoochie mama skirt bought at 50% off that shows the bottom portion of your thong when you bend over.
Show your family that you haven't lost your sense of style in your extra layers of belly fat and dress like the fabulous forty something you are!
What would you add to the list?
