Default [OT] Age Appropriate Dress?

I'm watching "The View" and one of their "hot topics" was whether women
should stop wearing certain types of clothing as they get older (the
example used was women who were over 40 shouldn't wear "Juicies" work-out
clothes. Someone said that *nobody* should wear sleeveless blouses or
dresses if they have flabby upper arms (here in Houston where it sometimes
gets to be 115F with 2000% humidity this flabby-upper-armed MaMere
*really* objects to that objection!).

What do you guys think? Should you not wear a mini skirt - even if you
have killer legs - past a certain age?


Depends on who you are, where you live and what you want to do.

When summer comes around here, there is no dress code.

It takes more than a short sleeve to cover up flabby upper arms. Besides
what one person would consider flabby another might not.

Personally, I believe that a lot of "overweight" people live virtually in
hiding because of the judgmental way there are treated by society. And I
think its pretty sick that they have to.

Again, the definition of overweight as hardly an absolute.

As for mini skirts, anyone who wants to wear one should. As long as they
are agile enough to keep the bare essentials covered.
