I do think I'm becoming invisable with my white hair. Sometimes I wear a brighter scarf to give myself a little color around the face. It's easy for me to pack because nothing clashes and everything goes together. I'm a basic black, gray, beige, blue kinda person. I'm reading through all your posts I missed while I was away.

But definitely, I've added more color in the past few years.<br /><br />I started dyeing my hair with streaks of purple when I turned 55 thinking it would be less permanent than a tattoo. My nails are also tipped with purple sparkle...that definitely took me out of my comfort zone. <br /><br />I love your response to the clerk!Sakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508656442667275102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-17204775873681957602016-07-30T15:45:09.606-05:002016-07-30T15:45:09.606-05:00Myself, I keep wearing items I have until I finall...Myself, I keep wearing items I have until I finally have to throw them in a rag box. Then sometimes I go to Good Will, looking for a bargain and will buy a man's shirt, since it has two pockets on the front. I like that, I can keep my Charge card, driver's license, a little money and one check in case I need it, other pocket, tissues and cough drops, since I seem to have constant allergies. I hate shopping for clothes and would rather order them, make sure I know they will be big enough and it's done. Well our little (fat) doggie is waiting for me to fix him his supper. Hot here again to do and humid, not quite as bad as yesterday before the rain. As for the clothes, yes they cater to the younger folk. Have a good Saturday evening and a wonderful Sunday.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106461789118388241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-88143487404216616752016-07-30T10:12:37.371-05:002016-07-30T10:12:37.371-05:00I've seen the new summer colors in stores...in...I've seen the new summer colors in stores...in fact my mom and I were just talking about how bright they are. I've always loved the oranges and greens, but more muted. What I haven't liked is the fashion of hip hugger jeans which leaves everyone with a muffin top, and these breezy tops that you have to wear a tank under. Give me something between the hips and mom jeans, please! HA HA No one listens to what I think is cool fashion. SIGH. With the crazy things going on nowadays, stacking the deck with bright colors so you don't get run over is a brilliant idea!Coloring Outside the Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15289093479063221765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-11486763926570972242016-07-30T09:30:19.231-05:002016-07-30T09:30:19.231-05:00Ginnie,
