Feeling Old

Ever notice that the older you get the younger women in advertisements appear?
I hate walking through the mall and seeing all the 14, 15, 16 year old models in the windows. Not because I wish I was young and beautiful and filled with ever lasting youth. Far from that. With youth comes stupidity and I've very much over that stage. I just hate how even when you go to a store that's supposed to be geared towards an older crowd the models are still so young. I want to see a women who looks like me wearing the clothes. So that would be your average Late 20's early 30's. That way I would know what the clothes will actually look like. When the do have older women they look like they could be my mother in their 40's or 50's.
So according to mall window advertisements only teenagers and older women buy clothes. Funny enough the fashions seem to be in those two areas as well. It's hard to find clothing that feels appropriate. Either I feel like I'm trying to dress half my age and not doing a good job pulling it off or I feel like I'm dressing well above my age which in turn does make me look older then I am. So I'm stuck wearing jeans and t-shirts or jeans and a sweater almost every day. I feel like a slob but what can yeah really do about it?
