No-nonsense clothes are what it’s all about on casual days when we are out running about town doing errands, taking care of family, shopping or all sorts of other things we need to do.  On these days, comfort is the first priority in choosing what to wear.  Age doesn’t matter.  We’ll be out in the weather, whether cold or hot, and we’ll be on our feet a lot.  So shoes that are made for walking, an athleisure look and comfortable tops and bottoms made to move are the order of the day.

With all that in mind, I have some outfit ideas that might help you add a little variety to your usual casual style.  These outfit ideas can be handy, too, when you’re running out the door on a busy day and feel like you don’t have a thing to wear.  You don’t even have to think, you can just refer to this list.  🙂

I was at my sister’s swimming pool yesterday talking to her neighbor, Sara, and Sara’s mother, Elizabeth.  I just met Elizabeth last year, and only saw her once.  So when I saw her at the pool, I thought, “Oh, that must be Sara’s mother…no, wait, she’s too young to be Sara’s mother.  Maybe it’s her sister.”

Then Sara came over to say hello to me and pointed to her mother.  I said, “She looks too young to be your mother!”

And then Sara told me she was 60.  I said, “Oh, she’s younger than me.”  And Sara nodded with a smile, probably because she was thinking how we were both members of the Younger Than 60 look.

Later, I asked Elizabeth how she keeps her youthfulness.  She said she believes it’s all in the mind.  I agreed.  Age doesn’t matter…
