My husband keeps reminding me that my birthday is coming up. (He’s really ahead of things this year…it’s not til March!) Usually I’d shudder at the thought of turning another year older and try to make light of things by cracking over-the-hill jokes, but this year I’m embracing it. I’ve never felt as comfortable with myself as I do now. And if wearing cherry red pants doesn’t shout “I’m confident with me!”, than I don’t know what does.

I Love your mommy style. This is one of my favorite color combinations. I my wear red pants & chambray shirt with leopard accessories. It is so versatile. Keep inspiring!
And that just keeps getting better and better-the getting comfortable with yourself part. To tell you the truth, I LIKE getting older, and I will be 56 in June. Sure, there are some things you miss, but honestly, living in your authentic skin takes time, and that’s what getting older gifts to us. PS LOVE the red pants!
Thank you for your comment! I always enjoy hearing your words of wisdom!
Glad to hear that it just keeps getting better!! When I wore these pants I got many looks from my co-workers (of course the students hardly noticed)…in the past I would have been really bothered. It’s a bit liberating to let go of what others think and be happy with yourself.
I’m hoping to find that confidence soon since I’m not that far behind you, Big Sissy!
Girl, you could have fooled me! I’ve seen that confidence many times!
Honey, I truly believe you could wear a flour sack and look gorgeous! Your confidence you have in yourself is wonderful.!
You have a long ways to go, before your a senior. I’m there and loving it more and more each year. And Yes, I also Love you RED pants!
: )
Glad to hear that you’re enjoying life! I bet grandkids and great-grandkids help a little with making times more fun! ; )
You wear red lips and red pants quite well! Have a wonderful weekend, April.
What a great outfit. LOVE your lipstick! Have a wonderful weekend♥Winona
I love everything about this outfit! The red, with denim and the scarf–oohlala!! Have a great weekend!
I’m such a sucker for red, you rocked i t!
That is a great outfit! I love the shoes and the scarf just pulls the whole thing together.
I’m right with ya on the whole ” finally being comfortable with myself” thing. I don’t know if it was becoming a mommy that did it or finding my fashion sense with the help of my blog, either way I’m here and I’m loving it and I feel like I’ll just get better with age!

Yeah, Kate…there’s nothing like having your “who-ha” exposed and other unmentionable things happen during the whole delivery process that makes one a bit more comfortable with herself!
Great minds, I wore my red jeans today too, I heard on morning TV that you should wear red coming into the New Year (Chinese!)
Gorgeous photos! Thanks for linking up honey! Have a great weekend! Kori xoxo
think this might be one of my favs… the red flares, the chambray and the scarf just all look like perfection to me! x
Love your outfit! I need a good pair of red pants.
