Bring on the birthday fashions!

"What time is it?"

It's my birthday (fashion) week. 

In a few short days, on May 8th I will officially become a "senior citizen"

Somehow 50 and 60 can slip by unnoticed, but the 65th is a birthday you will not be able to ignore. The government will make sure of that.
Don't forget to sign up for Medicare (3 months prior to your 65th birthday) 

Do I have any regrets? 

I guess maybe I have a few, but honestly I've pretty much made decisions throughout my life that have led me to this point and there isn't a time in my past that I would want to live over. 

There have been plenty of good times and bad times but I'm happy where I landed. 

"What has been my biggest lesson so far?"

Not to take things so seriously.

I laugh when I think back on my high school days and how I put so much weight on

whether I had a date, or if someone didn't like me or heaven forbid I got a C in class. 

It all seems so silly now, but you have to live each chapter in order to grow. 

Looks like I have good company on this birthday -  the Volkswagen bus aka Volkswagen Transporter entered into production on March 8, 1950 and remains in production today. 

As a matter of fact,  it started it's sixth generation on it's 65th birthday!

Happy Bday to the V-dub bus!

Ok, so now on with the fashions for today

I mentioned that I didn't buy that hot little number from Molly b that I modeled for you the other day

Instead I got several other outfits.  Three of which are from Molly b.

This one is the Shanti shirtdress by Mata Traders (fair trade fashions)

I usually don't buy anything on my birthday that I can wear to work and although I may wear this one (with a sweater or jacket) when I purchased it I was thinking more about the ability to wear it in Costa Rica. I have begun concentrating more on sleeveless, casual clothing, something I have not paid any attention to while living here in the Bay Area.

FACT: There will be about 72 million people age 65 and older by 2030.  

Older adults will account for roughly 20% of the U.S. population
