Polo shirts

I like polo shirts. I like colour.

When I wear my green polo shirt my dc say I look like I'm working in a garden centre.

When I wear my purple polo shirt my dc say I look like I'm working in a pre-school.

When I wear my blue polo shirt my dc say I look like I'm wearing school uniform.

So I had a look at patterned polo shirts. But they look like the sort of thing you wear when you're young and slender. They look like the sort of thing my mum would have worn 20 years ago, thinking it looked youthful on her. I'm in my 50s. I'm not ready to look like a middle-aged woman pretending she's not. I may be stout and unfit and looking my age, but I neither want to look middle-aged nor look like I'm pretending I'm not what I am.

Argh! Can't I just wear purple and the heck with it?!

Or maybe I'm overthinking this, and nobody notices, cares or draws any conclusions anyway - because I am a Fat and Fifty Female after all.

Wear whatever you like OP! A fresh, bright polo shirt every day sounds lovely to me. I think lemon yellow would be my favourite colour...
