Workout Clothes For Women Over 60, Spring Decluttering And More

Today, we are talking about workout clothes for Women over 60 in terms of what works well for comfort and coverage. These are clothes that I feel comfortable in going to the gym or the grocery store.

Also, I wanted to tell you about the well-priced workout clothes my daughter and daughter-in-law love, Spring de-cluttering ideas, my lighter-weight Spring/Fall coats that are a bargain now, a good book and television show.

Workout Clothes For Women Over 60

At my age, I don’t like to show a lot of skin (or my rear end) while taking walks or going to yoga or pilates classes.

The good news is that almost all of these favorite workout clothes are on sale at Athleta with 30% off! I find that long or capri leggings are great for working out (and I like Athleta’s quality).

And in the hot months of summer here, the Salutation Stash High Rise 7″ Short is nice for walks on the beach. It’s also convenient to have a side cell phone pocket.

Well-Priced Workout Clothes From Quince

Here is what my daughter-in-law, Mona said about the Quince Ultra Form Highrise Legging and Scoop Neck Bra set that I gave her: “This Quince set is the best dupe I’ve found for the Lululemon Align. It’s incredibly comfortable yet durable, making it perfect for Pilates or a casual walk. The fit is flattering and makes you look put together for your workout!”

And my daughter Alexandra said, “Yes! I love the fit and color (I got her the navy, too), they feel really similar to the high waisted Lululemon but a way better price. I want to get another set in another color already!” I am going to try them now, too.

Items To Declutter For Spring

After reading this post: 50 Items to Declutter For Spring, I will admit that I don’t agree with all of them. Like donating Christmas decor you didn’t use last season–I like to rotate mine. And it would be impossible to get Howard to give up his extra hammers. Just like I won’t give up the board games and playing cards we “may” use in a year.

But here are ten I DO recommend. With my comments in italics.

1. Clothes with stains or holes– you may be able to convert them into cleaning rags! The homeless shelter I worked for in SF donated damaged clothing to be recycled into rugs and other things, since we wanted our customers to feel good about their appearance.
2. Shoes that hurt your feet Life is too short.
3. Old magazines and newspapers Yes!
4. Drink ware- purge your cups and mugs, you probably have way too many. Don’t you hate it when you open the cupboard and things fall out?
5. Mismatched socks– if you can’t find the match after 2 weeks then throw them out. This probably makes sense.
6. Unused picture frames– if you aren’t using it now you probably won’t ever. This is when I think how happy I will make a customer at Salvation Army, etc.
7. Freezer food– they do expire too! Check expiration dates and be honest if you will actually use them ever. Howard, this one is for you.
8. Old eye glasses & sunglasses- especially if they are scratched. I did this today!
9. Pajamas– if you haven’t worn them in 2 months then donate them, most people have way more PJs than they actually wear. Clean out the drawer of worn out ones and reward yourself with a fresh pair! Like these that I get compliments on and they are on sale.
10. Tea or coffee beans you will never drink I have some teas that I don’t like the taste so why am I keeping them?

What To Read/Listen To “The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies” by Alison Goodman

This book, was recommended by a reader, Joan: “A novel I just finished: “The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies”, Alison Goodman — a really FUN, engrossing read, that manages to also highlight real highs / lows of women’s lives in 19th century society.”

Thanks, Joan. It was great and I can’t wait for the sequel.

What To Watch: “The Leopard” Television Series On Netflix

“Amid the unification of 1860s Italy, a Sicilian prince grapples with the collision between his family’s ancient privilege and revolutionary change.” The set scenes and Sicilian backdrop are amazingly elaborate for a television series. It’s dubbed in English.

It makes me want to go back to Sicily: A Week In Sicily: An Unforgettable Vacation with 29 Friends.
