My style after accepting that I'm an older lady now

I had made some posts in early December when I was freaking out about my age. Since then, I've been to therapy. Despite the chin hairs, wrinkles, age spots, hot flashes, excessive sweating, body odor, grey hairs, growing belly, I feel beautiful and sexy again. I've gained a lot of weight since my last posts but I feel sexy.

I live in a warm state so I don't have to cover up. On causal days I wear a tank top and leggings. But I have bought and woren blouses, even though one may notice my belly. I've allowed my husband to pluck my chin hairs.

I just want to thank everyone who had talked to me a month ago. I feel better now.

I didn't see your previous posts but i wanted to say i'm glad you're feeling good 😊

I can identify with highs and lows in a short time re: how you perceive yourself. I can be utterly miserable about my looks one week - then do a few days where i stick to my daily yoga, my hair behaves, i get one compliment and i'm on cloud nine again 🙄🤣
