I'm dying laughing (not at you, but how you wrote the post). FORTY???? Holy ----.

Maybe you should redefine Birks and flannels and do her when she's wearing both. Maybe you can turn it around in your mind. RIP the flannel, THROW the shoe. I don't know, man.

In all seriousness, I have seen flannel and Birks on a hot person or two. Hot is hot and it just oozes. And, I've seen some that have worn sexy stuff, but it's more like putting lipstick on a pig--the sexy just isn't in there.

Could you see it as, she's so sexy and natural, it transcends whatever she's wearing?
