| Finally, Lillian admits a concern of many former Baby Boomers: they want clothing that is easy to put on. With many women living alone, long back zippers are impossible, and senior fingers, often lose battles with tiny buttons. Fronthook bras, claims Lillian, are a blessing.
"Many older women," states Lillian, "want to cover their upper arms." She laughs, "Who wants to see dew laps?" Always seeking tops with longer sleeves, lightweight jackets, simple boleros or http://www.asicsrunningshoes.eu wraps, she <a href=http://www.asicsrunningshoes.eu>asicsrunningshoes</a> keeps a sharp <a href=http://www.asicsrunningshoes.eu>Asics Run Shoes</a> eye out for bargains.
Thank you, Lillian, for sharing the thoughts of a Baby Boomer. Many can relate to your concerns and learn from your thrifty fashion insights and selections.
In parting, Lillian shared a kernel of senior wisdom: keep the <a href=http://www.asicsrunningshoes.eu>Asics Run Shoes</a> necklines a little higher, like the easycare shirts and blouses at Land's End, and the skirts a little longer, like the midlengths at JC Penney and Belk. "Knees and necks are rarely pretty, and neither improves with age."
Lillian enjoys watching fashion shows, looking at magazines, and window shopping, but does not try to follow the current trends. She remembers tiedyed tees, miniskirts, and wide leg (bellbottom) pants of the sixties and seventies and sees what she describes as, "repeating fashion cycles."
Lillian's closet is not filled, and she says that she would rather have only a few nice pieces than a "closet full of junk." She cares for her clothing carefully and keeps outofseason clothing in dry cleaner plastic bags.

Preferring to stay with the classics that never go out of style, Lillian favors Land's End slacks and capris at Sears, simple tops and tees at Old Navy, and comfortable sleepwear and robes, usually found at one of Kohl's frequent sales.
Baby Boomers are smart shoppers
