Since a wide leather belt with jeans is new to me, now I realize: I'm not going to wear a belt going through airport security. Stick it in my suitcase.

This may not be a mid-life indulgence, but just change in taste: I seem to lean more on wearing lighter/brighter/jewel colours near my face. The older I get, the less desire to wear sombre colours close to my face, unless it was a rich velvety black, rich deep brown, etc.

Haircuts in last 2 yrs. have become much shorter, more sculptural.
