This is not the post you were suppose to get today. I wrote a really great post last night. Bloggers you know that feeling when you finish a post and you know it’s great and you can’t wait to hit the publish button? It was that kind of post. And just when I was about to hit publish I had a reality check. I thought about how public this blog is and how the subject of the post knows I have a blog, realized the possible repercussions, got scared and hit save instead of publish. Don’t worry I still plan to publish the post I just need to wait a while until when it’s less risky.
So, in the mean time I will be sharing with you a few guidelines on what is inappropriate behaviors and fashions for grown-ups:
- Have you seen those new trendy feathered dangled earrings? Well I have, on a 60 plus year old woman in a professional environment! 🙁 Now, I have seen younger women wear these earrings out in clubs or other social settings and while not really my style they are kind of cute. But on this 60 plus year old woman it was just extremely distracting. Especially paired with a rather preppy and conservative sweater. Instead of hearing what she was saying to me I was busy focusing on not staring at the earrings and wonder why she would wear an accessory that emphasizes the fact that she is far from in her 20s??? So dangled feathered earrings or any other trendy gaudy accessories should be left to those under 50. Unless of course you are a super hot 50 plus (as I’m sure many of you Joy Chasers are) who is often assumed to be much much younger.
- If you are over 35 and do not already have a record deal it is time to STOP having free style rap battles in public. 30 may be the new 20 (and 40 the new 30) for Jay -Z but 35 is still 35 for you. Rapping outside with a bunch of other dudes all in there late teens early 20s makes you look ridiculous and seem older than you are. Save the rapping for Karaoke night .
- OK ladies If you are over 25 you should have excepted and even embraced the fact that men will look at your butt. Therefore, you DO NOT need to wear pants or shorts with the word Pink or any other word across your assets to draw their eye there. They are already looking and the words across your derriere liken it to a billboard. Do you want your behind to look as big as a billboard? No? then stop writing words on it! These pants and shorts just make you look really immature, ghetto, and the exact opposite of classy. Leave that look for the teens who don’t yet know how to be grown-n-sexy.
Joy Chasers do you have any fashion trends or behaviors that should have age limits? What do you want to add to the list?
These are so funny!!!! And I agree 100%. I cant wait to read your post that you decided not to share.

LOL! These are great! I definitely like the old rapper/young rapper rant.
I've seen some outfits on people that made me do a double-take; no denying that. But as I'm getting older, I'm more on the side of, "If that's who you are, express it!"
If I saw a 60 year old woman with feather earrings, I'd think she's a sassy momma. Lol. For myself, that's just not my style or what I'd like to wear and I'm younger than 60.
I think a lot of it is just the personality of the person. Age is just a number. It's your spirit and mindset that makes it fun.
I think it all makes life more interesting. I have mixed feelings about this post but it is probably because I have looked at people and thought, "What were they thinking???" But who is to say what is right or wrong for another individual. It may look crazy to us but maybe they are just trying to be their wild and juicy selves. I am all about being wild and juicy and living outside the norm. May each of you find the wild and juicy within and wear or do something silly.
Peace,
Morgan
LoL!!! You had me crackin up!! 60+ and wearing the feather earrings?? Go girl!
See, it's reasons like the ones you've listed as to why people watching is so daggone fun!

I want to read your original post too!!!
I am not sure about age limits, but my pet peever is anyone at whatever age wearing their pajama bottoms to the store or to drop their kids off at school.
Uggs paired w/ sweat pants
5 pounds of makeup, along w/ false eye lashes.
less is always better.
Although, I am in shape and on the thin side I can pull off wearing the short shorts, but I put my own limit of when to stop wearing them (outside of the beach & vacation). I am 33 and I refuse to wear them just around town. I think around 30 it is time to stop.
But that is just my own personal guideline for me. 😉
Mine would probably be long hair over 60, I saw Hillary Clinton on TV last night and she could really use a haircut. She always looked great in short hair but maybe she hasn't had time to get to the hairdresser lately.
Awe, cliffhanger! I want to read the post in your save file. Though I loved reading this one too! I like those earrings but yeah I'm 30ish I probably shouldn't wear them. And yes I hate words on ladies behinds! Really? You think that looks good?
I don't necessarily have a specific age set in my mind for this, but at some point the mini skirt needs to be put away. For sure! visiting from comment hour today!
I LOVE this! I had a full-blown argument with my 33 year old sister because I told her that she was too old to wear anything with Dereon, Apple bottom, Baby Phat, or Rocawear splattered across it. I made that point that our 14 year old sister stopped wearing those clothes 2 years ago and suggested that she do the same. Some things should just be left to the young.
I have written many – a – posts which are still sitting in my drafts folder. Time and place for everything I suppose 🙂
