Self Portrait Sunday: age


Posted by Sun T.

I am coming up on my …

dare I say it…

28th birthday.

I think it’s funny how many women don’t want to talk about their age, as if knowing their true age degrades their beauty. I take a look at myself, even first thing in the morning, and don’t believe that I will be needing any anti-aging remedies any time in the near future. I was dreading 30, but I have to remember that age does not define me as a person. It just signifies that I have had a long life, probably rich with experience.

  1. Oh to be 28 and have skin that looks that good in the morning. Now when I get up I look a little wrinkly around the edges :) But I’ve earned every single wrinkle and they really don’t bother me. You will discover, as you get older that age really is great. When I hit 40 I loved it!! I finally knew who I was and was really, really comfortable in my own skin. Age is something to look forward to.

  2. I haven’t yet started dreading telling people my age. Since people usually think I am younger, I love correcting them.

    Great picture!

  3. Your robe is so cute and you look fab!

    I just turned 30, so don’t worry– it’s really nothing. Enjoy 28! I am really starting to believe that old cliche that you are only as old as you feel. I still feel 21. :)

  5. My dear, you look lovely … for ANY age. I’ve always thought that age didn’t/would never bother me, but I now generally refer to myself as “mid-fifties” instead of “fifty-five.” The actual number seems to signify something that is much older than I feel.

  6. I, too, am comfortable with my age. So far. Though I do use Oil of Old Lady instead of the stuff I buy for my girls, LOL!
