Each spring since turning 50, I’ve stood in front of the mirror and asked myself, “Is it time to give up wearing sleeveless tops and dresses?” When I was in my forties, I read an article that instructed all women over 50 to ‘just say no’ to sleeveless. The author was pretty emphatic, saying it didn’t matter how toned the older arms were: cover them! At the time, it sounded like an absurd mandate. Instead of exposing one’s over 50 arms, the article’s author recommended wearing shawls and three-quarter sleeves. I pictured women over 50 everywhere, covered up in shawls and long sleeves, having heat strokes during 90 degree weather. What I’d like to know for the current Flattering50 Giveaway is…"Are You Alarmed about Your Arms?”
Obviously, we need our arms and can't lop them off like a store mannequin. But are you dismayed by your over 50 arms? Or are you comfortable with them? Share your ideas in the Comment Box on this post for a chance to win one of three $25 Amazon.com Gift Certificate! Read on for all the details.

In the Comment Box on this post, express yourself on:Are You Alarmed about Your Arms?
Do you think your older arms look perfectly fine and don’t understand the bare arm hubbub among over 50 women? Or do you agree that your aging arms should be covered all the time? Or have you just curtailed the wearing of sleeveless since turning 50? If so, tell me what your strategy is—when, where and why do you choose to sometimes go sleeveless and other times cover up? I’d love to know what you think! And, finally, please tell me if you’ve found any products that make your arms look better.
