It's dire out there for squatty petites like myself. Maxi dresses? Not in public, but when they all end up in clearance, I may get a couple for around the house. They are very comfy in hot weather. (Lots of air up there under the skirts LOL!) Chunky necklaces? No. Just don't work on me. The micro minis that are still challenging the maxis. Not with these legs. Menswear? Yeah, I need to look more like a man to go with these menopausal chin hairs. :oP Skinny strap tops? Sorry, I need a bra to hold this rack up off my jelly belly. And the 'let the bra straps show' trend I see I like even less. And who the hell thought long scarves wrapped around your neck in killer heat was a good idea? That might work if you soak it in cold water first.

I'm off to search for a battery run fan I can carry around with me for these hot flashes. Oh, and my homemade baked beans are smelling pretty good. I used the rest of my leftover no-salt bbq sauce and plenty of molasses and more liquid smoke. Hope it tastes as good as it smells.

BTW, I spring cleaned here and got a new layout. Pink. Feels good and girly. :o)

Ever notice the older you get, the less you care what people think about your apparel?

Ummm, maxi dresses. I do have one that I got on sale. I didn't try it on and it fits perfectly and not too long. Oh, right, you don't want to hear that, do you? ;) My complaint is that they are so long and feel every woman will be wearing espedrilles or some other chunky heel so it won't drag on the ground. Well, I have arthritis and can't do that, but my dress even works without a chunk heel, so I'm happy.

I think they need to make adult clothing according to height and weight and have the labels reflect it. Like small boobs, big boobs, pear shaped, boy shaped, etc. Things would be a lot easier. Isn't that what they do with kids' clothes?

I just look like I'm standing in a hole...or that I live in one of our Russian 'Old Believer' communities! However, for around the house, they are very comfy.

I'd like to look for a tag that says 'squatty' LOL!
