The sweet thing about growing older is knowing your limitations and accepting them. When I was younger I played tennis, I wore just about any tennis style because I could. I was fit, thin, and young. I wasn’t concerned about cellulite or wrinkled skin because I didn’t have that. Fast forward to now. Every skort and short are back in the micro-mini length. I won’t wear them, because I am concerned about cellulite and wrinkled skin. Every piece I wear must be kind to my middle-aged body. When I say kind, I mean and short kind. I don’t wear short shorts or skorts because I am very aware of my weather-aged legs. I am most comfortable wearing shorts and skorts in 20 to 22 inch lengths. In fact, when the weather drops below 70 degrees I like to wear 26 inch capris or long pants. I don’t like wearing sleeveless tops because my upper arm skin has ‘relaxed’, and isn’t as taut as it once was. So, I gravitate to above-elbow sleeve lengths or long sleeves. I love the microweight fabrics used in today’s golf clothing, but I don’t like how it clings to my torso. I like fabrics that are light and are moisture wicked, yet don’t hug to my waistline. I like color, lots of it. I love jewel tones, pastels, and tones. I shy away from primary and flourscents because it doesn’t compliment my style. I love animal prints since it seems timeless and has sense of sophistication. I adore rhinestone and crystal buttons because they keep their sparkle when their knock-offs loose their luster.
Most important, I adore golfing with women who enjoy other women’s company and still love style.
