[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 70 year old mother in law routinely comments on how young she looks and she likes to dress in styles intended for much younger women. Rather than healthy self esteem, I think it stems from fear of aging and the need for attention.

I’m 53 and think I look my age - and that’s okay.[/quote]

This is my MIL. She's 82 and looks very young for her age in the right lighting. She is always making passive aggressive comments about how old other people look and how other people tell her she looks young. She would never directly say, I look young. She tries to dress in styles intended for younger women but it comes across to me as a little undignified. She also never takes her sunglasses off when she's out because she wants to hide her under eye bags. My mother is the same age and looks younger than her 82 years but she handles it differently than my MIL. My mother dresses like a classy, mature woman and isn't obviously trying to come across as a 30 year old.[/quote]
