At home anything goes, why not dress how my mind feel...much younger. But to pass, I would dress appropriate for my age, that is if I could pass or dare to go out.

Teresa - you've got an admirably petite and slim figure for a 'woman' of your generation... why would you want to waste the opportunities after all this time...? So the best advice I've seen so far:
And this is such a great idea - and from a GG of course.... years of experience help so much.. :DOriginally Posted by BLUE ORCHID
Totally brilliant!! Decide what you want to wear and then choose a venue appropriate for the outfit (perhaps you can guess where I'm thinking of...?) Don't let the idea that you have to go shopping and therefore look dull... live a little... push that envelope while you still have the time and the legs!

I agree with all of those of the dress how you feel camp- I am older-, but i sure look and feel like a thirty three year old when I am dressed. The "I sure look like a thirty three year old" part is a matter of opinion!Mine! and I am biased. But you should by all means go for the gusto while you can-dress young, wild, ****ty, however you feel- it is, after all, the fountain of YOUTH!
It would all be so simple if we could live our insides on the outside
Well said, Gina (above). Crossdressing can be the fountain of youth if you make it so.
You can fight getting older, or you can embrace it. I just ignore it.
I dress my perceived age which is 50ish. I am actually 65 next month. I love wearing what a classy "woman of a certain age" would wear.
Please call me Lisa!
I'm only dressing for an audience of one, me. And I'm easily fooled. The camera tells me the truth that the mirror won't. But I prefer to believe the mirror and so dress accordingly.
I try to dress classy, but not too dressy. One nice thing about being old is that everyone's nice to old ladies.
I don't act (dress) or resent it...I've seen some pretty hot 50-something GGs and am aspiring to that while I can :D

Be the style and woman you want to be. As many have said, dressing out of
the "norm" of a place will get you noticed, but if that's ok, then Ok.
Normal while in the RW is what most GG's wear. But there will always be style pushers, you know
who they are because you and everyone else is watching them.
As long as you smile go for it.
In private anything you like is great.
Being a new girl here and now at the tender age of 69 I still like to dress in a much younger style sometimes I took these pic's at christmas time 2011.
Wear what you feel happy in on that day. As I have only been out a few times and tend to wear dresses.

I am by no means saying do not dress young. I am saying take a walk around your own town. How many women over 50 do you see running around in miniskirts? Very damn few, if any! I wonder why that is?
I have always been conservative and age appropriate in my dressing. I don't really care what others do. They will give the rest of us someone else to talk about.

hi teresa,i was in a dadt marrege for close to forty years, so heres my 2 cents this is all a fantasy,done with smoke and mirrors. but its your cd fantasy so dress any way that makes you happy.remember sometimes it is all about yoy.hugs love lynda
All I say is 'wear what you please'!
It would be a bit hypocritical for any of us to tell others what to wear wouldn't it
Perhaps, but shouldn't we try to give suggestions on how to look better? It's hard to figure all this stuff out on your own. Learning from others avoids us having to make all the mistakes ourselves before we get it right.
Teresa,
Speaking for myself, I guess I've been lucky. I'm past the 70 mark but few people guess that I'm that old, male or female presentation. I go with what most others here have said -- I try to wear what other 50-ish-60ish women here in Florida wear -- not granny stuff, but informal sports clothes -- jeans, capris, blouses and the occasional long skirt. Most of my out and about activities are daytime chores -- shopping, doctors/dental visits, lunch -- so I'm not looking to do any "chickie" looks! I rather enjoy the attention and reactions that older ladies get -- very polite, lots of "Hon's" (we do that here in FLA). I just feel like I fit in better that way.
... and I think that THIS is a major step! Enjoy your new-found self. The way I try to catch up with "lost years" is to be out and about as much as I can -- without looking like the 30-year age gap that I missed!

Hi Teresa. I think the outfit you are wearing in the photo looks great on you - you have the body to pull it off.
I'm not a big fan of "act your age!" Who wants to be old?
My opinion is you should wear clothes that make you feel good. Sure, if you care what other people think, some attire is going to be viewed as more appropriate than others. I'd advise against paying attention to what other people think. What have other people ever done for you except tell you that you are weird? If you are like the rest of us, you've spent most of your life fighting who you were. So now that you are finally allowing yourself some freedom to be you, just enjoy it sweetie!
I really admire so many of the CDs I have the pleasure of knowing because y'all manage to dare to wear, and look fabulous in, outfits that a frumpy old transsexual woman like me would never dare attempt!
while I'm not usually one to preach about what we girls should or shouldn't wear--we are guys dressing like women after all--I will say that, many or the genetic females I see wearing 'age-INappropriate' stuff shouldn't be. Raquel Welch and Susan Lucci are obvious exceptions. I think we can still look good without micro-mini's and stripper heels
Dressing your age does not mean Polyester pantsuits, older women of style can usually afford to shop in better stores than younger shoppers, go to Macy's or Nordstrom's, or any high end store and look at what the older ladies are wearing. Tailored slacks, delicate blouses, and great shoes. Skirts the length a mature women can wear and feel good about it, and look good too. Check out he older women in Hollywood, they don't dress dowdy, but still look good at just about any age. Even Betty White wears sequence!
Magic is the art of changing consciousness at will.
I neither act my age nor do I resent it.
Sometimes it is an advantage....
Cheap bus fares. :D

I enjoy the juniors section and LOVE to wear short dresses, shorts and Skirts.
AND how can I act my age when I have never been this age before.
