Dress your age, not your IQ

Kathy and I were in Florida in March and of course one of our activities when we're together is that we go shopping. We were visiting a Target Greatland (The biggest frigging Target I've ever seen) and I saw a t-shirt in the men's department with Ralph Wiggums picking his nose on the front and of course I was in love. It would perfectly match my antenna topper. I began to gush and Kathy said to me " you know, at some point you have to dress your age".

Of course she's right. I need another t- shirt (and another Simpson's shirt no less) like I need another hole in my head but there was something about the her statement that's stuck with me.

First of all, how does someone my age dress? Are there rules for this sort of thing? Looking through my closet I see shirts that I've had since the 1980. I guess I dress out of date and maybe a new Ralphie shirt is too hip for me. Or maybe it's time I traded in all my t-shirts for cardigan sweaters and smoking jackets.

I'm stumped about the whole thing really. I've always been one to dress more for comfort and warmth that for fashion. I know that may come as a big surprise to everyone, but there it is.

I wonder how late Target is opened.
