Kicking and Screaming 55+ Petite Style

About me

Gender	Female
Introduction	I'm Kickin' and Screamin' my way into the senior years. I'm 5 feet one and one-half inches (that half inch is important when you're this short), 60 (almost 61) and live in Small Town, Midwest, USA. My size combined with my age create a whole host of problems when attempting to be fashionable on a retiree's budget. Over the years, my body stayed pretty consistent and I think I knew what looked best on that body. But, and that's a huge BUT, my post menopause body is different than the body I've lived with most of my life. The pear-shape is much more dominant, my waist line is thicker and my bust smaller. I'm certain this change didn't occur overnight, but I really noticed the changes about 2 or 3 years ago. I need to figure out how to dress this body I now have. And, that's why I started blogging. Also, as a recent retiree, I can have more fun with clothes and that's something new for me. (My former work life required a conservative wardrobe.)
