NEHRU JACKETS & PEDAL PUSHERS BACK AGAIN?

Image
https://vintagedancer.com I want to be fashionable in my old age.  However, there are some styles of  clothing  that I'll leave for young ladies. I have always  avoided trendy clothes  because they may only be fashionable  for  one season.  I avoided capri pants until I realized that  they were here to stay. They reminded me  of the pedal pushers I wore when I was in  high school.    I love capri pants and I wear them daily  during the summer because they keep me  cool on hot days.  I love the trend of tunic styled women's  tops.

https://www.pinterest.com I felt blessed because I made it pass the  age of  60  without foot problems. Some of my  friends  said they experience numbness  and arthritic  foot pain  sometimes. I had  compassion  for  them because this  affected their daily activities. I must have been in la- la land when  I decided  to try Zumba exercises.  I was elated after  two months of Zumba  lessons and loose fitting  pants. One  morning I woke up with heel and foot pain as I walked to the bathroom. I wondered  if this is what "falling  arches" felt like. I rushed to  my  computer and looked up my symptoms.  I  researched Zumba exercise websites.  Some women  were complaining about  experiencing foot and heel  discomfort.  I checked several websites and watched videos to see what remedy...
