Fashion for 50: Crossbody Purse
In my mid-50s, I’m having the most fun that I’ve ever had with clothing. This is most unexpected as I thought by age 40, I would be wearing puffy sweatshirts with goofy illustrations. But as the marketplace has become more global, I don’t have to always leave my house and go into a retail store to buy clothes. Hallelujah! Since I have a body (short and squat) that’s “hard to fit” in the U.S., I’ve been mail ordering items from Japan and custom-fit clothing from specialty companies.
Since I don’t see anyone like me (in other words, not a model) posting clothing and accessory purchases, I thought that I’d use this blog to occasionally post fashion.
Today is a new crossbody purse that I think will serve all my needs. I’ve been going small for purses these days. I’ve discovered that I can find things much easier when I go small. I just need space for a thin wallet, pen, lip gloss, cell phone and small calendar book (yup, I still use those). I saw the Waverley, the crossbody travel bag offered by Lo and Sons, and thought it would be perfect for my needs. It arrived today. Excited! You can take the straps and adjust them four different ways. I’m probably going to stick with the crossbody option, but it’s nice to have options.

The T-shirt is from a Kishi Bashi concert. Year of the Tiger!

I’ve purchased some things from Poshmark. I’ve even gotten the same clothes (and even shoes) that I’ve loved in the past. Now with this new coronavirus reality, I think I’ll just stick to my existing wardrobe to save money. The good news is that I’ve recently lost weight and fit back into clothing that I was going to give away!
