Who Wears Short Shorts?

by Adelina | Sep 24, 2020 | 0 comments

Being a woman of a certain age comes with the benefit of doing as you please “Don’t show your knees, you’re too old for short shorts” “Older women shouldn’t have long hair”. “After a certain age dating is impossible.” “Gray hair will make you look old, keep dyeing it!” That’s what “they” say… We don’t know who “they” are, and we don’t care. Silver Sisters today are not confined by the restraints of ages past. It’s still warm here in California and I thought I’d try this look that I’ve been seeing floating around here. This amazing jacket is another thrifted gem that I found a few years ago. It’s a classic beauty and I’m not letting it go any time soon (Or my vintage Ferragamo shoes!) It’s a fabulous double breasted jacket by Blumarine. Wearing shorts, showing my legs and breaking all the rules. Being a woman of a certain age comes with the benefit of doing as you please, and not much caring about what others think! Live a little y’all. Maybe my date night outfit!

Exploring Brighter Colors

Many Silver Sisters find that having lighter hair totally changes your look, and it is a time to explore colors that enhance the new you.Being a New Yorker, wearing black was a staple part of my wardrobe for many years. It’s a fashionably chic and safe color-not to...

#TBT and a little walk down memory lane…
Same kids. Same back view. A whole lot more height.
In 2020, I snapped that first photo of them from behind when they were still my little ones. Fast-forward to now and somehow those same “little” kids are taller than I am! When did THAT happen?
They just spent two weeks summering with us in Arizona, as they always do, and we had so much fun. And looking back at our Brooklyn stoop photos from then and now really got me. The stoop is still there, the Brooklyn memories are still there…but these babies just keep growing up on me.
That’s the funny thing about time. While you’re busy living it, laughing, traveling, making memories and enjoying the summers, those little legs get longer, those babies get taller…and suddenly you’re looking UP at them.
Same kids. Different view. A whole lot of memories in between.

I just happen to be in town for the annual Block Party! It made me realize how much I miss my home town. The neighbors, the food, the excitement!
It was great seeing friends and family, and I’m still wondering how I got so much smaller than the grands in such a short time!!!😲
What a Blessing to be back for a minute.
Love you Brooklyn!

No other audio needed…
Staying in Park Slope and hopped on the trusty F train. Passed by the Bergen Street station where I lived for decades. Feeling warm and fuzzy and nostalgic. New York made me!!!

Back in Brooklyn for a few days, I had the chance to attend an exclusive introduction to Hilo, a brand-new blood pressure monitoring device that’s just being released.

Since many of you know I’ve been keeping a closer eye on my blood pressure, I was excited to learn about a device that can monitor readings around the clock and even share them directly with your doctor.

My reading was a little elevated today (a busy trip back to New York will do that!), but it was a good reminder to slow down and pay attention.

I even brought one home for my brother, so we’ll both be trying it out-so stay tuned.

Learn more at us.hilo.com.

Do you monitor your blood pressure regularly?

One Jacket Two Vibes

This is an amazing denim and sweater knit jacket I picked up at Goodwill. It’s so versatile and great for chilly weather and can be dressed up or down. It's cool enough to wear this denim and knit thrifted find and I thought it was screaming for these accessories....
