40s and FABULOUS!!

#16
Like another member, I too will be turning 47 in March. I feel a lot younger than that though and sometimes forget that I am "in my 40's". After working in sales and management in high tech for many years, I became a SAHM when my first son was born. I stayed home for almost 10 years and did some substitute teaching at their school and fell in love with it. When they were in 3rd and 5th grade I decided to go back to work and began teaching full time at their school. I have been teaching 4th grade (private Christian school - I LOVE it) for the past 5 years or so and taught kindergarten for 2 years prior to that. My sons are in High School now, and I realize how quickly time goes by! I've been married for 20 years to a man who does not like to shop and is proud of that fact. He thinks designer bags are senseless and sees no point to them (gasp!) He has forgotten that he bought me my first designer bag when we were dating 22 years ago! I still have that Gucci bag and remind him that he started this obsession. Of course he reminds me that we had a LOT more money back then, and could afford those things, lol. Also, my friends and coworkers are NOT into designer anything, so I am thankful for TPF where others understand my obsession!

Hi Pamajama, I guess I'm what you would call a 'mature' LV lover, but somehow that label just doesn't fit me. lol! I don't think I ever act my age.
I live in Ontario Canada (not too far from you), and am about to turn 47 in March, so I guess we're just about exactly the same age. I have 2 kids, a 15 yr old daughter (ugh! do they become human again ever?!) and a 5 yr old son. I too love to travel, especially to Vegas. I have a background in clothing design and work full time from a home office so I can structure my day around my family. My husband is in management in the automotive industry. He's a wonderful man, very generous and loving and is my biggest LV enabler!!

We love to go to Vegas also...we just recently had a large group go to Casino Windsor..we spend a lot of time in Detroit for Tiger and Lions games...if you ever go let me know :smile:

Ok...here goes...I saw the fifties and fabulous thread and I got jealous...I'm interested in seeing how many forties and fabulous gals we have out there.

I just recently got my first LV :jammin:and was curious to find out what other "mature" LV lovers look like and what bags you rock....YES we can still ROCK great bags at "our age" :woohoo:

I've been married 28 years...have 3 children (one that lives with Jesus now) and one grandson. I love to travel, hang out with my family, teach pre-K Sunday school and rock a great bag.

So...tell me about you...you fabulous and forty LV Lovers!!

We seem to have a lot of parallels in our lives BUTTONS...same age, same addiction :nuts: and teaching young children...I absolutely love it!! Also, my children are out of the house and I love tPF...understanding each others addiction/obsession :wlae:

My friends and co-workers are also not into designer anything, but they do like to ogle my bags :yes:

Count me in! I just turned 46 this month. My husband marked this birthday with a fabulous white Le Fab as a surprise, so he is indeed my LV enabler!:P

Before children, I was a senior bank officer, but retired to be a SAHM after our first child was born. My wonderful husband and I have been married almost 20 years and we have two great teenagers (really!). I've been addicted to LV for two years now and there seems to be no end in sight to my obsession. LOL

I am also 40 in April:shocked: where does the time go! I am a dance teacher/choreographer and mother to 1 four yr old son the joy of my life.
I am taking this season off from teaching so that I can enjoy this year with my son before he starts school in Sep because there will always be kids to teach but my time with my son I can't get back.
