Confessions of a 35 year old

Has anyone looked at the “anti-aging” aisle of your Target?  Good grief I feel like I need one of those cross reference catalogs like you find in the auto department for your oil filters and windshield wipers. 

I’m not just another year older… nor none the wiser, but I am a little more observant.  By little I mean very little so don’t be surprised if I don’t notice your new belt or bangle bracelet.  Well actually it’s not so much about others but myself and in that regard I really need to start taking better care of myself.

I have this irrational fear of becoming the old lady that thinks it’s ok to dress like a much younger person.  Everyone has seen this lady… I’m not talking Samantha from Sex in the City wearing the same dress as Miley Cyrus.  I’m talking the lady at the grocery store in the trendy ripped jeans and Aeropostale tee shirt.  Hey Lady… stop raiding your teenager’s closet!  You look ridiculous!

I took a gander through my closet and come across one Buckle outfit to another I realized I really need to re-wardrobe myself.  I can’t keep dressing like a bar hopping 20 something. So… how does a 35 year old dress??  Do I really have to trade in my punky “Sinful” attire for cardigans and loafers?

Is there a ligament reason most clothing stores only stock clothes for women under 25 and women over 45?  I don’t want to wear hello kitty tee shirts… nor do I want to wear anything with embroidered kittens all over it or mom jeans.  Can a girl just buy a tee shirt somewhere? 

I think I need a personal stylist.  More importantly I need a personal nutritionist and trainer.  I’ve heard your metabolism slows down when you get into your 30’s but I feel like mine went on hiatus.  Bitch.

Lots of changes coming, but they’re all towards being a healthier, happier and better ME. 

The safest principle through life, instead of reforming others, is to set about perfecting yourself.
