You are what you wear

I was out for dinner last night celebrating Valentines Day and did some people watching while I was waiting for our first course to arrive and noticed just  how many women throw something on and head out the door. Not only is this an injustice to your self, but your significant other as well. I actually saw a woman with a lulu lemon head band pushed up into her hair line - what in the world possessed her to think that she could go straight from the gym to fine dining with this look? Ladies, I know the Lulu Lemon is comfy but come on - we have to  draw the line when our surroundings demand so much more then spandex.

Something happens to women when they cross the 40 threshold - yes, I know there are some of you who think you can still get away with shopping in the juniors department but I am here to tell you, turn around and walk the other way - if your daughter is wearing it - you probably shouldn't be! If you think this is giving you a youthful appearance, think twice.  Keep it simple and classic, and start looking for some investment pieces that go the distance and by distance I am not referring to first or second base at the end of the night - but rather some longevity pieces and stay away from gimmicky trends as nothing will age you faster.
