Things Women Over 40 Should Never, Ever Wear....

Mary Jane Shoes

Yoga Pants.
I don't know. When you work out as hard as I do, you're darn right I will wear my yoga pants!

Graphic Tee

Leopard Print/Faux Fur combo

Skinny Jeans.
Pair them with a graphic tee and mary jane shoes for the faux pas trifecta.

Bold Prints

Anything Low-Cut/Too Sexy.
ZERO complaints about this dress!
Apparently, women over 40 look "desperate" if they dress sexy. Weird, I was MEGA DESPERATE when I was an idiot 25 year old. Now, I rock it so well, 25 year old men bypass their desperate 23 year old counterparts and hit on me!

Skulls

Hair Bows.
Admittedly this was a Halloween costume, but I'm not above putting bows in my hair.

Cutesy Vintage Dresses

This

Pippi Longstocking Braids

Chunky Jewelry

Peter Pan Collars

Sweater Clip.
I saw this on one of those lames lists. Apparently, it ages you.

If you haven't figured it out by now, this list is a joke. I'm 41!! Wear whatever the fuck you want!

    Wear all this myself and I'm 46 (not sure how I got here so quickly). Don't care what anyone says either. :)

    I will be 42 in a few weeks and I wear all of these things! And I have Bettie bangs that I've been rocking since I was 19! I will never stop.:)

    Wear what you like! I'm 42 and find the older I get, the fewer fucks I give. It's great.

    Ever since I lost 170 lbs (shithead ex-husband who controlled what I wore) I have never felt so "ME" and I'm loving it just a bit too much LOL.

    Just found this. Thank you so much! I’m 43 and feeling like I dress too young in my graphic t’s, chucks, skinny jeans, and pig tails. You’re the coolest!!
