[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hair dyed in fad colors like pink or blue. It seems like there are countless women over 40 out there who thought it would make them look young and hip and edgy. Now I just think of it as old lady-ish when I see it. It doesn't look edgy at all, it looks like someone is trying way too hard and didn't have any real knowledge or understanding of what would look good. Also regarding the comments about short/long hair -- both can age you depending on the style; but not much is worse than limp, un-styled, long hair.

Definitely agree with everyone mentioning skinny jeans and tunics. I think people want to hide their waistline, which I can understand. But it screams unfashionable late middle age to me.

Also bright-colored cheap t-shirts; like in fuchsia, turquoise, etc. Especially paired with white capris.

I'm 5'7" and look fine in capris, but I wouldn't wear white ones. My sister is 5'4" and she does not. [/quote]

I live outside Chicago and the neon colored hair is like a middle class mom cliche here. Fuchsia hair + ironic band tank top + jean shorts, and usually with some tattoos. No one is mistaking you for a 20 something hipster, ladies.[/quote]

Oh, whatever. We Gen X moms don’t want to look 20, we just want to listen to the Smiths and swap colonoscopy tips.  We have literally been wearing the same thing since New Order were Joy Division. [/quote]

I wish we could hang out![/quote]

Right back atcha, dear friend-I-haven’t-met-yet. See you at either the Peter Murphy Celebrating David Bowie tour or the screening mammogram waiting room.[/quote]
