Mirror Mirror on the Wall... ... and Thrift Store Clothes...

 
 I wanted to show off the pretty necklace that my neice picked out for me.  She is kind of artsy and nutty like me, and she knows exactly what i like... 
I know i have 3 necklaces on, but it's the pearl one with the little pink rosettes...  isn't it sweet?  
  Don't look at all the freckles on my raggedy old chest from too much sun exposure please...
 
And check out these thrift store clothes... the dress is actually a vintage negligee...
the little top was just a couple of bucks  and it's the best color...
the other two necklaces are from the thrift store too, 
for $1.00 each... 
I love finding things at the thrift shop
the only thing i can't really find there are my jeans, because i wear talls... hard to find
 


 I like wearing funky clothes... 
i'm 57 years old, so i'm sure this is totally inappropriate...  but i'm not sure i care


Mirror Mirror on the wall, you're a magic mirror, right?  

I'd like to have flawless dewey skin again please,

and could you please do something about the frowny lines over my eyes...

all those moles and spots that keep appearing, will you take care of that..?

and there's this random hair that keeps growing on my chin... and i don't usually find it until it's like 6 inches long, because i can't see close up anymore ...  well, that's just gotta go...

oh yeah, i would like a flat stomach please



the end

  4. You are too funny! And I can totally relate to everything you said. You look fab in the outfit. I say "go for it". And the best part about getting older is no longer caring what others think about us. So be proud and wear whatever you want.

  5. I like to think that when you are artsy and just a little crazy you can were what you want.
    That's my story and I'm sticking to it . If that mirror works send it my way . Sisterhood of the traveling mirror ?

  7. you are preserving nicely!!! i do love a fantastic bargain like you.

    you made me laugh with the mirror business. i'm 45 and actually compose insane ballads about this stuff ('oh the insomnia keeps me weird...there go my estrogen, here come my beard...'). funny but true.

    keep gettin down wit yer funky self, cowgirl!

  9. Wow! I figured you were way younger than me~!YOu look just amazing, so you obviously are doing something right, and I think I know what it is. YOu think young! You are blessed in many ways, and this is just one of em, so be grateful you only have one hair on that chinny chin chin!

  10. You look great girl! I just turned 58 a few weeks ago and I would never have guessed you were close to my age! We are definitely not our mother's generation in how we dress and for that matter look in general....at least a lot of us do not look like that. Ditto on the skin, stray hairs, and all that other fun stuff that comes with "maturity".~Hugs, Patti

  15. Oh my goodness, Cindy! I would never have guessed that you are 57. You look fabulous! LOVE your necklaces. Thrift stores are the best, aren't they? I just got a bunch of stuff for Lillie and Lola at one here in town a couple of weeks ago.

  17. You look beautiful. I love your outfit, so pretty!

  18. Love the outfit and who cares if you're older. So am I and I wear what I want. That's what getting older lets you do. By the way, why is it that the chin hairs grow like you've put them on a steady diet of Miracle Grow?

  19. Cindy!! I thought you were my age...early 40's! I hope I age as gracefully as you have! I can totally relate to the hair on the chin thing...my hair is black, so I have to keep a close check on them to make sure I pluck em' fast, or it's just terrible! lol Glad there's only a couple!! :)
    Thanks for cheering me on with my chairs..I'm so excited about them...just took me long enough to get started! (last Christmas...that's pretty sad isn't it!) :)
    OH..your clothes and necklaces are adorable...I really like the beaded choker one...too cute! We could definitely shop together. I love cute feminine things, but most of my clothes have paint spatters or are holy from working on decorating projects!! lol :0) I love projects more than clothes!
    Love ya girl!

  22. You do NOT look like you're 57 ~ you look adorable! And...who really cares? It's just a number and IMHO, it's your attitude that keeps you young. See, I'm older than you so I made that rule. :-)

    Your necklaces are adorable, as is the entire outfit. Your niece did good!

  23. Cute outfit and necklaces!
    Question....what do you wear under the nite gown to keep it from being see thru?

    I have noticed when I turned 50 my style changed to a lil sexy casual romantic I would say. My daughter asked if I turned 50 or 15! lol
    I said I am having fun and care less about how people look at me and judge me!

    You look awesome!

    Smiles, Dolly
