Top 6 Ways Stay Up to Date Over Fifty in Orange County
1) Choose your trends wisely. Just because polka dots are “in” doesn’t require you to wear them all over your torso. Maybe just on a belt or an eyeglass case.
2) Wear no clothing with embroidered words that identify you as the wife, the mom, or the grandma.
3) Be wary of retro. It’s the look that’s supposed to be retro, not you.
4)Indulge the latest fashion in purses, scarves, and shoes. But don’t buy those cute shoes if you can’t walk in them. When a young woman trips in her high heels, it’s charming. When anyone older does, people get nervous.
5)Learn to use the computer technology that most of the world uses to communicate.
6) Buy People magazine every now and then, or at least flip through it in the super market check out. I know you probably don’t care what the latest Hollywood starlets are up to, but the rest of the world will be talking about what they’re doing and wearing. You will at least know who they’re talking about.

Great advice! I agree with you completely.
Come read my blog about the sometimes humorous side of being a baby boomer …. http://babyboomerwoman.blogspot.com/
Having a good sense of humor is essential to facing the many challenges life tends to offer … attitude is everything.
