Get Pinspired? For a Woman Over 40 with a not so little shape?

 

Linking up with Mix & Match Family  Pinterest Told Me To  and The Larson Lingo in a different kind of Pin-spired way.

 
 The title says it all ladies and gents!  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Pinterest.  I have pinned quite a few outfits to my boards.  I have even nailed a few of those pins; however, the point remains that I am getting a little "down" about the fact that when I pull up shorts and tees, I get shorts and tees that are cute on younger, taller, less curvy women.  

Example #1

I could sooooo wear this outfit, IF I were a size 8 or 10, but being the size I am (bigger than that) the white shorts look too tight, and too short, and I look goofy with the sperry-type shoes on.  I think I could modify this to white bermudas, sandals and the tee (minus the longer sleeves).  I never do the bags, sometimes the jewelry, and I love my Aviator RayBans, so they will be the sunglasses I wear until they break! Ha!

Would I wear this to teach summer school?  Heck no!  We get too dirty, and too sweaty for me to ruin this look on 6th graders! Haha!  Would I wear it to the mall to shop?  Depends on what other errands I have to do.  I hate to "dress up" when I go grocery shopping because, whether we like it or not, grocery stores are dirty!  If dirt is in the area, it will find it's way to me. Booo!!!

So, when would I wear this, you ask?  Well, on a date night with the hubs, which are few and far between when you are starting your own business.  I would wear this with crops/capris/pants or bermudas to Saturday night church services.  Again, I can't pull off the shoes, but sandals, or even wedges would do nicely. 

Let me know what you think!  Until I wear the outfit, though, you will have to eagerly await a "I nailed the look" blog post! Ha!

Example #2

 

 This one, well, I know the scarf is a NO, simply because when you are my age, and my size, it makes you HOT no matter what the temperature.  I can usually wear a scarf for an hour or so, not an all day thing.  I also can't pull off the shorter shorts.  If I try hard enough, I could do it.  So you might see a version of this one too.

I do know the crops, the shorty shorts, and the adorable cutesy outfits won't work on me.  I'll keep trying, and keep pinning!  Just keep reading, and you may be surprised!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have an awesome weekend!
