O....M....G..... wrinkled leather!
Is that the grandkid, showing his distaste?
Whoops! I really need to change that picture. Add that to the never ending to do list. :0)
The point really isn't whether it looks good on someone or not because they look good naturally (i.e., in the buff) or not.
The point is CLASS. Whether it's looking like a floozie or a wino, looking like garbage doesn't look good on anybody.
Men and women who typically dress like this show disrespect to everyone *and* themselves. They look like (literally) garbage.
They care not in the least what others think - which contrary to modern belief, is NOT a good aim. As Seinfeld said (I know, not a perfect example of clothing class) to Costanza wearing low-class duds, "this says 'I GIVE UP.'"
I'm amazed people are so concerned about what their actual bodies look like, but not a whit what they put on them - which is what 99.9999999% of the world is going to see.
Slightly more gentile.
Nothing quite says "white trash" more than a "tramp stamp."
That sounds like a business opportunity.
If these people want to move in the public space like this, then I don't see how commenting on it with the aid of visualization through written text makes me rude.
Besides, if Reagan did go through life without interpreting events in a jovial manner than he may not have been human.

I used to dress my daughter in Hartstrings clothes when when was young. Available at Norstrom's (I live near the outlet in Devon, Pa.) Classic girly clothing. Wonderful brother-sister outfits. Looking forward to outfitting new grandbaby in Hartstrings.
I disagree with some of this. You don't have to dress like a tramp, but you don't have to conform to any age dress codes.
It seems to me your standards for being a great country are pretty low.
I'll be sure to let the soldiers I know what it is that you think they're fighting for.
Pierced navels and bare midrifs with stretch marks are so erotic.
If older people want to dress 'younger' so be it. Maybe not everyone in their 40s wants to wear sana-a-belt slacks and easy spirit shoes.
You can be conservative politically w/out having to dress conservatibly.
Flapjacks.
Oh yeah, the daughter.....she was 250lbs easy and working on a calzone like a maggot on rotting flesh.
You seriesly need to consider a career in writing.
I never saw JNY at Sam's. I wait unit they go on sale at Boscov's. When I worked in White Plains I was a Bloomingdale’s fanatic. I would go everyday and hide items until they were placed on sale. Living in hick land I have no Bloomies except for online. I also like Josephine Chause.
Flapjacks = classic!
I could swear I heard the calzone shreek.
Thanks......
No one is suggesting that 60 year old women be relegated to the the mu-mu, but they should select clothes appropriate for their age.
Last year, my husband and I were at a college football game, and I noticed this woman sitting a few rows ahead of us. She was in her mid- to late 50's. She had a great figure, and was dressed in navy slacks and a navy and white striped sweater. She was a lovely woman. She had a very strong Lauren Bacall/Audrey Hepburn air about her. In the midst of these hoochie-mama co-eds that were all over the place with their wine cooler bellies and love handles spilling out over skirts that were too tight and under shirts that were too short, who do my husband notice? The elegantly dressed older woman whose grace and sophistication
put the smackdown on young girls who were too stupid to know the difference between being attractive and looking like a $20 streetwalker.
