I was very conservative in my dress for a long time. Then, when I started cycling, I became a little wilder in my dress at work, at home, etc. I've moderated a bit, mostly because although I feel young, I am not, and nobody wants to see a 55 year old trying to be 25. I mean, I think that I don't look 55, but I certainly don't look 25, either. This seems to be a bit more acute right now, as I am going to school with people mostly in their 30's, with a good sprinkling of 20 somethings. The other older students look old to me...
I don't wear any "revealing" cycling clothes, but my jerseys do have some wild prints. I have the Terry hula girl jersey and the city girl one, too. Always a good conversation piece. But, I also have solid jerseys. On the other hand, I wear longer shorts because I don't think anyone would want to see me in short shorts.
And Mimi, I have been behind a "see the crack in the ***" person more than once...
