I would never inquire as to the age of others posting here, but, at 43, I long ago gave up dressing to impress. I haven't worn hose since the summer of 2004, and see more and more women (professionals..downtown...) doing the same. I am showered, with a minimal amount of make up (as I have pretty uneven skin tone) M-Th (my work days) and am lucky if I shower before dinner on the others. Why bother when my PLAN is to go to the gym each day. I wear suits next to never (unless it is a trial), and open toed shoes as much as I can.

I am a scruff around my house and only if I venture out into the yard do I put on what might pass as clothes. Otherwise it is lounging pants and a t-shirt, face washed bare and hair in a pony tail. Comfort has always ruled my life. Last night, after soaking himself in the hose, and having to leave the wet clothes at the front door, J was nekkid as the day he was born for 3 hours....telling me it was more comfortable for him like that. Now, I don't go that far...but, inside our house its our rules.
