So, I guess I'm just an old hippie. I wear amber or patchouli oil. I have long dark brown hair, kind of thick, and at times wavy; starting to get gray streaks which I think is pretty cool. I wear Carhartt's and cowgirl boots when I go out to the ranch to work. When it gets too hot out there for pants, I'll wear cut-off's and boots.

When I'm not at the ranch I am in more of a city and also in grad school. I usually throw on levis cargo pants and a tie-dye shirt or tie-dye sweatshirt. When the weather is warmer it's shorts and t's all the way- I like American Eagle stuff. If I have to go to a colloquium (like I do in Arizona this June) I'll do a casual blazer and uber casual skirt. I like the stuff in the Sundance catalog and try to find it (much) cheaper in other places.

When I go out with hubby I like to get stuff from Victoria's Secret and turn it into an outfit, or part of an outfit. I'll get a corset and put it on over jeans or a skirt. Sometimes they'll have an awesome slip that looks like a dress and so I make it a dress and get some strappy shoes.

Point is, I am nearly 49 years old, a mom to 4 kids, a grandma to 4 grandkids, and I'm not giving in to a number. I look good, I feel good, and I am damn hot!!! And so are all of the rest of you~ no matter what you choose to wear. WE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
