I got asked my age TWICE today,
in order to make sure I was at least 18 years old...
When I responded with "I am 26"
the response is usually a look of shock and embarrassment for asking.
I guess bright red pants make me look young,
Good to know for when I am in my 70s.
Grey hair and tight red pants,
won't look a day over 26.
You always look stunning!!!
ReplyDeleteare you brushing your shoulder off? hot lil lady! i got carded for buying allergy medicine the other day... what the?!
ReplyDeleteHaha i'm 22 and am always getting asked if i'm 16. It's one thing to look younger but 16? Really!?
ReplyDeleteThe outfit is SUPER adorable :)
Word, sister. I always get asked if I'm 21 or something similar, even at 28. I'LL TAKE IT.
ReplyDeleteMy sister (5 years younger) is always thought to be the older one. She gets all pissed, saying "I don't look older than 28!" and I just say "neither do I, so cool it".
But I will say that hearing I look younger than I am makes me want to brush my shoulders off too. But so does really good hip hop and about 5 beers.
p.s. I love my red pants.
ReplyDeleteSomeone asked me if I was on break from school but didn't specify high school or college. I'm a 29 year old teacher. Awkward!
ReplyDeleteGood news for our future selves though, right?
LOVE your style...that outfit is HOT and you pull it off well!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Megan--I get asked how old I am ALL THE TIME. And I'm usually with my baby--I mean..how young can I be?! :)
ReplyDeleteIt'll be good when we are fresh faced and like 50 and people think we're 30. Yup. Good good.
Jenna
Great picture.
ReplyDeleteYou gotta get, that, dirt off yo shoulder.
I get asked my age ALL THE TIME! People seem soooo surpried when they learn I'm not 17...
ReplyDeleteI used to hate not looking my age. When I took my daughter for her 6 weeks checkup I was 21. The nurse asked me if I wanted my mom to come back. When I asked why, she said so I'd have an adult with me. Uhh.....
ReplyDeleteNow that I'm fast approaching 27 and soon thereafter 30, I LOVE getting carded for R rated movies and liquor.
1. ladies are pimps too, go on brush ya shouldahz off.
ReplyDelete2. you're rockin those red pants, the world can only hope they're still in style when your model self gets to 75.
Lol when I went to see a rated R movie a couple months ago the ticket lady looked at.my ticket stub, then me, then said: how old are u? I.was like, 25!
ReplyDeleteI also got carded at a pub in london in the summer which I was pretty sure never happened!!
people always think that I'm younger too....usually 21 BUT i'm almost 28! I'm okay with that because I don't want to look old :)
ReplyDeleteCUte pants and I love your gold jewelry.
Good Day!
I'm gonna be 24 next month and people never guess that I'm over 16. Or they think my 18-year old sister is older than me. I hold onto the hope that it will be great once we get older and hopefully still look younger :)
ReplyDeleteHappens to me ALL the time. A few months ago I got stopped at a police checkstop because they thought I wasn't old enough to drive. (I turn 29 in 2 months.) The worst had to be when I was teaching in a middle school and continually mistaken for a student. (Yes, I said middle school, not even high school!)
ReplyDeletethis made me laugh out loud. at least no one asked if you were an oprhan. :/
ReplyDeleteHaha I get that all the time too! I'm 20 years old and people never guess that I'm over 16. Worst case was a couple of weeks ago at the airport. Apparently kids 12 and younger don't have to go through the body scan...the officer asked me how old I was. It seems like black yoga pants with a neon green shirt make me look like I'm 12 :D
ReplyDeletei feel your pain. i'm 25 and getting CARDED for buying puff paint. PUFF PAINT!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteHaha, I know the feeling...I'm 26 and people always think I'm a teenager. When I order a drink at restaurants people always take 5 minutes to scan the card, look at me, scan the card again, etc...so embarrassing!
ReplyDeleteI love the bright red pants! I've been looking to get a pair myself. Isn't it nice when people think you're younger? I haven't been IDed in ages but recently the people doing construction on my house asked my sister what year I was in high school. Not sure why they wanted to know but I was pleased :)
ReplyDeleteHopefully as you said, this still happens at 70.
Awesomness! When I get asked what year of school I'm in and I say fourth they automatically bombard me with "So what college are you thinking of?", "are you excited about finishing high school and leaving home?"... Which is then answered with "ahem, fourth year of COLLEGE lady!" haha. I'm honestly flattered though. We'll be hot babes when we are 90... fo sho!
ReplyDeleteI feel ya, girl! I'm 24 (well, next month), and I still get asked if I'm 14. What's worse is that my 17-year-old sister gets asked if she's the older one/in her 20s!
ReplyDeleteI know it will be great when I'm older, but I also want people now to know that I'm legal ;)
I always get asked my age and my younger sister's friends tell me how cute it is I look so young. It makes me kind of want to punch them.
ReplyDeleteBut hey when I am 50 looking not a day over 25 I will be laughing in their wrinkley faces :)
Ha! When I was there people always thought I was OLDER than I was. I was mortified. I think you look awesomely 26.
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great compliment though :)
I always get so excited when I get carded now, it's hilarious.
ReplyDeleteThen they look, and feel sorry for asking.
By the waaaay, I ordered a necklace! I'm so pumped - I keep looking every day for it in the mail and then realize that I only ordered it a couple days ago... maybe you should look into teleportation of your products? Just something to think about ;)
Haha! I Love this post!!
ReplyDeleteI always laugh when I get asked because sometimes people think I am older because of how I present myself..and when I say 21, they are like YOU ARE A BABY! ahha :) Nobody ever knows what to say! :)

dude, i was getting a presciption filled (in my pink jeggings) and when i asked the pharmacist about side effects, he said, "well people of YOUR age bracket". he meant 15-21 year olds. he was so embarassed when i told him i was 26. i guess its better than thinking we are older cus that means wrinkles, right?
ReplyDeleteI get asked my age ALL the time- I hear repeatedly that I look 18/19, and when I confirm (and have to defend!) that I'm 29, I always hear "well, when you're older, you'll appreciate looking a decade younger." My response is always "yeah, but I'd like to be out of high school NOW!!" My theory is in the make-up... I don't wear much (just brown mascara on my invisible blonde eyelashes and coverup under my eyes) and it seems like young British girls/women wear a lot. I could be wrong. But that's my current theory.
ReplyDeleteHOT with a capital H. Those pants with the white...and then the gold layers! Ahh! Love.
ReplyDeletei JUST bought some bright red pants this week and i'm SO excited. Mr isn't quite on board yet so maybe once i show him that my super sexy model friend wears them he'll comply :)
ReplyDeleteThat's always an awkward moment. But at least you don't like like you are 36!
ReplyDeleteI still get that too. Like when I'm buying paint or medicine but when I buy booze? Nothing. Ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteLove the pants.
This is such a beautiful blog and it really inspires me!:) Would you like to follow each other?
ReplyDeleteI WISH people thought I was 18!!! All my teen years I always wanted to look older, but now I would really love for people to think I was younger... last year a jerk of a colleague thought I was 6 years older (in my early thirties) and when I told him that I was only 26 he then asked me if I partied a lot when I was young. jerk.
ReplyDeletetrust me, it is better your way :)
hahah love it! im planning on wearing bright coral pants this weekend..so that'd make me 17? xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I have been asked for ID. :( I'd like to think it has to do with not going out in the "collegey" area of town anymore. But it could just be that I am 35.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!
Lovely. You rock those red pants as I drool over them some more. I am fully persuaded to go and buy some!
ReplyDeleteLOL. You make me laugh. I'll keep this advice in mind for when I'm old and grey. Happy Friday!
ReplyDeletehaha.
ReplyDeletei know that look of shock and embarrassment... albeit people always overestimate my age (about 4 years).
I guess it is due to my glasses... they just make me look clever and prudential. and that's all!
...Lately I'm wearing lenses with increasing frequency.
Monday Night I was checking in a hotel and the clerk asked my mom if I was of age for the child's discount... I'M 24!
ReplyDeletelove it! i have been living in my forever 21 colored jeans lately -- i'm convinced it makes me younger.
ReplyDeletemy co-worker asked me if i really just said "whatev" today, and it made me think long and hard about if should change the way i talk now that i'm approaching 30. i decided no. whatev. i like it.
I was just happy to get carded at Trader Joe's the other day. I mean, I'm only 29 for another week, plus I am hugely pregnant. Surely I don't look like an underaged drinker.
