    I say a resounding yes to the question!! In fact, my mom (the 70’s model on my blog) and I were just having a conversation about this. She made the comment that the raw hemmed jeans are only for the young girls and I made a stink about it!! Of course we can wear the fun, bad things!! We have the personality to go with it, right?

    I am totally with you on that, we can wear what we like and look great. I absolutely love your look, the jacket is so cook and I love burgundy boots. Funny, but my last post is also about raw hemmed jeans.

    Ha! Amen, sister! Love your badass-ness 😉 in this fun sweatshirt! I absolutely agree that no matter our age (because what is that anyway?!) we should wear whatever we want. How boring would it be if we didn’t?

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    I hope your cute-and-cool Old Navy cropped flares are still in stock, dearest Dawn…’cause I’ve been wanting to add another pair to my denim collection for AGES, and these seem like just the ticket!! And if you ever decide that your embroidered snakes need a new home?? Just remember that I asked you first!! 😀
