No Mini Skirt Over 40

I don't consider my self too conservative when it comes to wearing skirts or dresses, but I do consider my limit when choosing the length of the skirt.

Sure, mini skirts are sexy and is intended, in my opinion, to stear attention from other parts of a woman's body. But, a woman over 40, no matter how sexy and shaply should stay away from mini skirts. I don't care how good they feel and look.

If I want to go for sexy, I choose a black knee (or just below) lenght pencil skirt and compliment it with a nice pair of high heels instead. I wear super sheer taupe stockings for evening time and go with au natural (bear legs) during the day unless my workplace requires me to wear stockings.

Blood Pressure Results

Yes the drive to the medical clinic was worth it for sure. My blood pressure check up was about 2 minutes if not less and based on the results I still have high blood pressure. Not at all surprising. So the nurse practitioner or a nice lady working at my doctor's office told me she would hand me a pamphlet which would explain what I can do to reduce my high blood pressure, this is after doing a checklist with me of what I MAY be doing wrong. The questions were:
Do you smoke? NO
Do you drink? sometimes
Do you eat fruits and vegetables? yes, daily
Do you eat protein? yes, daily
Do you exercise? yes, daily
Do you eat fried foods? maybe once a month if at all

She finally said, "well you do all the right things so it must be stress" (I thought to myself there is that word again) and I, with a guilty look on my face, nodded in agreement. So I got the pamphlet anyway even though I was doing everything right according to her questions and was told to go home and try to relax. (???)

Jennifer Aniston and LolaVie Fashion

Now here is a woman you hate to love, Jennifer Aniston. In my opinion Aniston is a true symbol and an icon of "physical" beauty. Although how she got there is questionable since being a celebrity require a nip tuck here and there, a botox or two, lipo and more nip tuck. But I guess it's ok if the end result looks like Jennifer Aniston.

She is a woman over 40 now and I think with time, she has blossomed into an "old school" classy individual. This is why I love her so much. She makes no effort to dress in fashion, nor do things with her hair that is too obnoxious. Her shoes are always safe and one dimentional and that works. I could care less what the fashion police may say about her "stuck in the 80s look" because for some reason or another it works just fine. She knows what works and she sticks to it. Sometimes it is not the extremities of fashion that put you on a list, it is what you do with it that counts the most.
