Dressing For My Age

As I was going through my closet, I thought I need to go shopping. My clothes are getting old, faded, and out of style (kind of like me). Problem - I'm not good at buying clothes. I don't like spending a lot of money on clothes and what does a woman my age wear.
 
I'm not ready to dress like my mother and I don't want to look like an old lady trying to be a wanna be teenager. 
 
Something has happened to my body through the years. There's bumps, muffin tops, fat that use to not be there, and saggy skin. It's really not fair. Nothing looks right anymore. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME????  It's those changing leaves of autumn.
 
Inside I still have a heart of a kid and that is what is important -  Not what a person looks like on the outside. As we age, hopefully our beauty goes from our faces and bodies into our hearts, where we learn to be kind and thoughtful of others around us; and where we can laugh and most important laugh at ourselves. A person grows old if they forget how to laugh.
