How to Wear Camo Chic Over 50 – Day #1

Go Camo Chic Hey, ladies!  Until just recently, I would have said, “Me in camo, what do you think I am, a redneck?” LOL!  Right?  Well, true and false…. it all depends on what type of camo print you pick, the style of the garment and the color pattern of the camo.  This is way out of the box for me, but I like it when it is done in a feminine chic manner.  When styled properly, it really doesn’t scream “camo”, but presents itself as just another printed pattern palette.  Let’s have some fun with camo!

When Friction Creates Sadness You may recall that I turned 58 back in August.  It seems that every year since I turned 50, there has been a new issue to deal with every single year.  Each issue has been overcome, or I have accepted the new “thing” as part of how life will be from now on.  But never in my wildest dreams did I expect “friction”.  I try my best to do all the right things, practice healthy clean…
