What You Can Do Still

Okay, I know many women out there say that there is so much you can't do in your thirties that you could do in your twenties. I coincidentally found a blog that is a big old. It hasn't been touched in three years. It is or was written by two women in California about their experiences in their 30's It's called "I'm 30, Now What?" http://iam30nowwhat.blogspot.com/ It only has 20 blogs. How ironic. One of the blogs was the second to last one they wrote. It was a part one of however many they mean to write about what they feel they can't do in their 30's that they did in their 20's. I decide to evaluate. Why? Because this is interesting and I can put in my two cents on each matter.

Not Being Able to Wear Tattered Jeans

What? I just wore some this past summer. Granted I have a bit of flab left over from my baby bump days but i still rocked some cute-ass jeans with a neon green spaghetti strap tee and a fishnet top with a bright pink skull on it with sandals. It was fourth of July. The shorts were SHORT. My hair was red and pulled into a pony on top of my head and I had my earth toned makeup on. I may have felt a little odd wearing it but I got some looks from younger guys and older guys at Walmart. My husband liked but was also on guard. So, not ALL 30's somethings fit the category of not pulling off a young look every once in a while. I just say don't make it a habit. I mean, we are Mom's.

Different Colored Polish on Each Finger

I don't wear nail polish because for some reason it has always bothered me and the oils on my nails always made the polish crack and peel. But I do have plenty of friends that still do this for special occasions like Christmas and Fourth of July. I think it's festive when done tastefully. It's just for most of older folk we prefer the manicured look. Though people like me don't care for that either and just do the all natural look and wear nothing.

Posing with Alcohol

Why is this a no for your age? I know men and women much older than me sporting their drinks in pics. My husband is a former member of the UMF and in ALL the pictures they post they aren't scared to have themselves and their wives posing with drinks. I was once of the youngest people there.  So I don't think really has an age limit. More like a personality preference. I'll gladly sport my drink in a picture for the fond memories I can look back on.

Not Apologizing

Okay true we are more inclined to apologize but then again I know little kids who apologize and they can pull it off.  But also, since when is it okay for anyone of any age to pull off not apologizing? And isn't it harder to accept an apology when we are older depending on the circumstance? When we are younger we accept apologies more often than we do when we are older.

Pajama Bottoms and Slippers in Public

I wear my pajama bottoms in public when it's Fall or Spring. Why? Because do I care? Kids only do it because they think it's cool. For the rest of us that do do it, we just don't want to get dressed if we are only going out for one stop or down to the gas station for a soda. Why get dressed up for nothing?

Pulling All Nighters

Depends on personality and the situation. Like if you are going to college and want to study, if you work night shifts (and you can't imagine how many of the older folk do this more than the younger twenty somethings), or if you have insomnia or a condition that affects your sleep, or if there's something big going on. Yes, you can pull it off. It's just on a regular day or night, we like to go to bed early and also I don't find it hard on my skin or eyes. More that it just gives me a headache.

I wish this little parter was continued. I would love to know what else they would list. Because I know it's from their experiences but I want to be more universal with my topics of being thirty and do comparisons and just give my insight.

Oh and I would love to give a shining example of a over thirty year old that can most likely pull all of this and look both professional and fun, young about it: Pink. I totally adore her and think it is just awesome of what she accomplished starting at such a young age. Sure she was more outrageous in her twenties but she has matured her funky look the older she got. Props to Pink.
