Keeping with the clothes theme we've got going... Do you ever find your self wanting to dress younger than you really are now that you've lost all this weight??

YES, I want to make up for all that time that I had to wear what fit and not what was "cool" I do buy an occasional piece of clothing to wear to the gym, or out with friends, but never to work.

I am all about jeans and tees...not very mid-30ish...but my "style" or lack of "style" if you will...I like the crazy tees with the wacky sayings on them..so if I am dressing younger then so be it..it's me and thats all I can be.

Yes, I love the clothes in the JR section and try not to wear them, those baby doll tops are adorable, but just make me feel pregnant!

Very few women can get away with wearing "YOUNG" clothing styles so I stay away from them. I mean, a 56 year old woman wearing a mini skirt just doesn't even sound good let alone look good. But I don't dress like an "old lady" either! I try clothes on and if I look respectable, I buy it. If I look 10 years younger, I BUY it!!!! haha But I don't dress like a teenager. Size really has nothing to do with this...it's an age thing.

Definately. I find myself shopping at American Eagle, The Buckle, Maurices. Some stuff I can get into, some I can't. Keeps me trying though!

Jeans are jeans lol Since my tuck a couple years back though I've fit better in JR jeans than misses. now that is starting to reverse. goofy. and the tops for me are a no brainer.. I have boobs... teens don't. lol Lori

I don't want to dress too young for my age, but I want to look younger when I dress, if that makes any sense. My daughters are my resource. They keep me looking (and feeling) young but pull me back if I go too extreme on an outfit.

I too don't shop in the jr dept - but since my TT jr jeans/pants fit me better - maybe since the TT I'd rather wear my jeans/pants with a lower rise - can't stand to have them high waisted - must be sizing issues - if the waist fits the hip area is too big, if the hips fit the waist is too tight......

No, I don't think so. I mean I wear jeans, but I don't think of them as trying to be young. I just like them. Jules
