DATING WARDROBE MUST HAVES!

Dating attire for a woman in her 40's is a little different than that of girl in her 20's.  

That said here are my picks for the top five dating wardrobe pieces:

1.  A pair of great fitting jeans.

I'm talking designer here, ladies.  And you know the ones.  We all have a favorite pair that fits us just right.  And if you don't have them, it's time to invest!  This is one piece of clothing that will last season after season.

2.  A Sexy Little Black Skirt.

Mine is a pencil skirt that fits right above the knees.  It can be more casual with a tight fitting sweater or more formal with a chemise and jacket, but it is a must for your closet.

3. A flirty Chemise.  Okay I'm a fanatic about these.  I have them in many colors from plain silk to sequined, but if you can only afford one, winter white in a clingy fabric is best.

4. A Tailored Jacket.  I don't know if you're seeing a pattern, but everything listed here can be worn in different ways.  The cute little tailored jacket is mandatory...for skirts or jeans.

5.  The Clingy Sweater

This is a fun piece that when worn with a large necklace, can take center stage.  Again it works with the jeans as it does with the skirt.

You can't go wrong with any of these and you'll look hot on your next date if you wear any one of them.  These are my picks but I'd love to hear what yours are.

MILLIIONAIRE MATCHMAKER - WHAT A CROCK!

I watched this show last night called, Millionaire Match Maker or something like that and I was appalled at how tacky the match maker woman and her motley crew looked.  I mean tattoos, mohawk hair dos and people dressing waaaay toooo young for who they are, Patti!!!  Jeeze you're over 40! (or 40 - whatever!)  You're not 16 Honey.  You can't pull off those looks anymore. 

No wonder the millionaires that come on her show don't trust her judgment. And, it really didn't look like she knew what she was doing either.  No wonder the dates didn't work out.  What a crappy show!  Won't be watching that again!!!

THE COLD THAT WOULDN'T LEAVE

So from stomach flu to head cold.  Really getting rediculous now.  I feel like I can't walk outside for fear of picking up some new and unknown virus.  What's a girl to do?  Does anyone have any suggestions for making a cold go away quicker???  Would love to hear it.  oxox (cough, cough)

This website tells you how to know a cold from the flu.  Good info...

STARTING OVER...

Is not fun and I'm not good at it.  Whether it's saying good bye to a fair weathered friend or telling someone you really like that you're not ready for that kind of relationship.  Either way you loose something and have to be Okay with that.  But, what you're gaining is setting boundaries for yourself and in the process defining what self respect really is. And that's a good thing. 

UH-OH, NOT AGAIN...

I know, I know...I shouldn't have gone on this blind date but it was from a reliable source so I thought, "What the hey!"  

I have never felt so interrogated in my life!  Everything I said this guy argued with.  Not a great way to try and get to know someone, not to mention get on someone's good side.  And he was kind of smug, you know, like what he said was the only thing that mattered.  

Now, my poor friends who set me up were there too (thank God!) playing referee most of he night and buffering this guy's questions/inquisition towards me.  But I'm a big girl and did relatively well.  That is until I decided I didn't want to "Play" anymore.

I left after an hour or so, and you know what?  The guy actually called me the next day telling me how cute I was and how he wanted to take me out.  Uh, No!!  Don't think so.  Mr. Interrogator can go batter someone else, thank you very much!  

Any thoughts, girls?

KNOW THYSELF???

So a new year and a new life!  It's funny but I'm so not in a hurry to rush into anything with anyone.  For the first time in years I am going to get to know myself.  Yeah, scary...  

What do you do to get to know yourself?  Do you know yourself?  Do any of us really know ourselves?  For so many years my likes were based on someone Else's "likings" that I wonder what I really do like.  Okay I'm confusing you, I know, but really what do I like and what makes me happy?  I will ponder this question and get back to you.  In the meantime feel free to comment.  :)

THE SPA THAT NEVER WAS...

Well I had a great time with my ex but it turns out I got Food Poisoning the very next day so the spa weekend is all a blur amongst the vomit, nausea, body aches, etc. As a matter of fact I've been down for the last five days, just now climbing out from under the rock. This year, "Out With The Old" took on a whole new meaning let me tell ya!
