"that" age

I realized today that I have reached "that" age where everything on the racks in retail stores just don't work for me. I often find myself shopping in the maternity section thinking how nice and flattering everything is until the pregnant woman next to me gives me dirty looks as we hold the same shirt up to our necks. How do I not notice I'm shopping in the preggo section? I have no idea but I promise it has happened far more than I'd like to admit. I usually just walk away from my buggy at that point maternity clothes in it and all.... Just walk! Then there are days like today where I'm looking in the dress racks and as I hold every other dress up to the front of me I think "surely this is not a dress look how short it is" but then I go into the thought process of well it IS in the dress section so maybe it is... EVERY OTHER DRESS folks!! Then I browse the tops only to think "how do you even wear this?" does it go alone or are you supposed to wear something under it or over it maybe then I just put it back because I really have no clue. Don't even get me started in "skinny" pants... Why do they make my feet look so huge?! Will I wear boot cut for the rest of my life?? Seems that way. I think I may just be stuck somewhere in the middle of "juniors" and "ladies" I feel like a lot of that stuff either looks too grown up for me still or too junior high and I never want to be that lady who dresses like a 16 year old even though I'm 40 bc I don't want to admit I'm not young anymore. I want to be classy yet I still want my husband to think I'm sexy (I could wear a potato sack and he would say I looked great and probably mean it too but that is besides the point) and I want to feel good when I look in the mirror but geeze I need to start a clothing line apparently....
