Every now and then you see a picture of yourself that just makes you think "Damn, when did I get old?" I look at that picture now and can't even remember having that much hair that was NOT gray. But from the some-things-never-change file, I still can dice green peppers like no one else.But it wasn't even my relative youthfulness and the actual presence of color in my hair that got me - it was that sweater. Man, I LOVED that sweater. I remember that I got it at Kohl's - it was on a mannequin right at the front of the men's department. I had had my eye on it for a while but never felt like I could afford it. Then magically, one weekend, the sweaters were all on sale and I decided I wanted it. Sadly, they didn't have it in my size except for the one on the mannequin. So I had one of the employees take it off the mannequin. They probably were all "what the hell" but hey, they were making a sale.
I'm pretty sure I still have that sweater - I think it's at the bottom of the cedar chest. I don't really wear sweaters as much anymore and I know that it's not in the best of shape but I think I might have to figure out a way to resurrect it next winter.
But that doesn't mean I'm going to dye my hair. I like the gray just fine.

I always feel guilty asking employees to take clothes off the mannequin because I worry after the employee goes to all the trouble that I won't actually like the item of clothing after I try it on. Sometimes I just strip the mannequin myself. If I can't find my size, I always check the mannequin, though.
i personally think grey is v distinguished. And never feel guilty asking them to strip a mannequin! They should have more clothes in our sizes on the rack!!!!
