perhaps you do look more "manly" now, but what I am saying is that it might only be because you are trying to look young. If you found a look closer to your age, you might be pleased with just how womanly you can look.

Hi elizabeth,

I have no interest in school uniforms or younger casual clothing anymore , I am past that now , I find that dressing as a late 20's or 30's age group is probably where I'm at . A good example is in our photo section in the album "Jan W".
The problem with weight gain is one thing , the problem with lesser ability to pass because I look more masculine is another , but on top of that Merinda is (in my mind) now in her 20's or early 30's not 48 . I could dress as a 48 year old Merinda but that is not who I am.

Merinda,
I am sorry as my wife packs a big wipe and tells me all the time I have to dress my age. For what it worth I listen. Merry Christmas

Hi Merinda--
That is a tough one, if you have a resistance to dressing your age right now. Since you've been out in public for so long, it's not going to be satisfying to dress young only in private. You said you were done with that phase, and whatever new one comes along, it will need to be something that you can do out in the world.

Anyway, nice to see you back for a while, however long that turns out to be.

You've hit the nail on the head Anita , "satisfaction" is definately lacking .

I will continue onwards , occasionaly wearing relaxing clothing around the house as per the photos I posted in the gallery last week.
This shall suffice for now at least.
