CAN YOU WEAR CAMO AFTER 40
When I have been asked, “Can you wear camo after 40?” I have to laugh. You can wear anything you want, no matter your age. I guess the correct question is, “will I look foolish, if I wear camo after I am 40?” Well, I am over 40, do you think I look foolish?
I take my pictures every morning before I head to work. I have been doing this for over a year, but I still get the strange looks from the neighbors as they drive past. I have no idea if they know I have a blog, or if they just think I really like having pictures of myself. Lol! But this morning as I was taking my pictures, the TV cable repair guy walked out on the porch. He never said a thing, and I just kept right on posing and snapping pictures. I wonder if they have to take training for a job like that. You know, like the guards in London who never crack a smile.
Can you see me now? I have said that all day long, I know they are sick of hearing that at work. Lol! I can’t remember if I bought this camo top, or if I stole it off of my daughter. Now, that would be role-reversal. She used to take my clothing all the time, but since she now lives in Alaska, my clothing has been safe. Honestly, I was guilty of thinking I was too old to wear camo. Do you know how hard that was for me to type? I thought it was a youthful print, is there even such a thing? I don’t hunt, so I rationalized that it wasn’t for me. This top changed my mind. I had forgotten that youthful sometimes = fun.
I was trying to get a close up of these earrings. They are by Plunder and are called Kasia. They are a dangle, but not a LONG dangle. I love the bling on these earrings.
My Old Navy pixie pants matched the camo top just perfectly. Of course, this beige color would match most things. I have a pair of distressed camo pants that I love (see here) but I went with the top today. I will wear these pants all year long. In the winter, I just wear them inside of knee boots. I really like items that you can get multiple wears with.
My purse is just a cheap one I picked up in town. It is the style and the color that I like. I love the ivory or winter white color, it is one of my favorite colors for fall and winter. It is in a hobo, slouch style and it has the added tassel, which is such a huge trend. My shoes are from Old Navy, and the are sueded pointy ballet flats.
I hope you will come back tomorrow, maybe you will actually be able to “see” me then. Lol! Quick camo story, I might have already told this, I can’t remember. Anyway, my daughter (18) and my sisters daughter (8) were both at my parents house one weekend. My sister and I had gone shopping (big surprise) with my mother, and the girls stayed home with my dad. It was in the fall of the year, and daddy took them in the woods around the house on the four wheeler. Daddy had my daughter decked out in a blaze orange jumpsuit, while my sisters daughter had on her brown jacket. My sister was so mad when she saw them, she said, “Why didn’t you just tie tree branches to my daughter’s head?” Apparently, she thought she looked too much like a deer. Lol!
BTW, you gurls are great!!! I loved the responses from yesterday’s post! It was really hectic at work, so I didn’t get time to reply to them, but they kept me entertained all day. You can send me pictures of you in your nighttime apparel it you want, except you “nature” gurls. Hahaha

You look great! I think I’m going to look for a cute camo tee now!
You make camo look quite classy!
When I was a young thing, I had a sleeveless t-shirt in a camo print (before it was really fashionable) and I loved it. Now that you’ve shown how to class up that print, I’m wondering if I couldn’t find a Mossy Oak shirt to go under a work blazer…
Camo is a great fashion piece whether you are going shopping, on a date or heading out in the woods to hunt with the hubby, it’s all good with camo! Love your outfit. – Amy

I have not ordered anything from you but if you are offering a sample of the R&F facials without a prior purchase I would love to try it. My DIL and my daughter both have used R&F and love it. I have a friend locally that sells it but I haven’t contacted her. If you are offering a sample you can contact me at jdy277@aol.com. Thank you!
P.S. I will provide you my mailing address via email if you can send me a sample.
I wear camo and I’ve over 50! I have this Rock n Republic blouse from Kohl’s. It’s looks better in person though.

That is very sweet to say, Sarah. Thanks so much.?
