What to wear if you ride a motorcyle

Not your ordinary biker chic!

So what do you do when you are turning 50, your husband has just passed away and you want to do something daring and different? If you’re  Janis Irwin,  you go out and learn to ride a motorcycle and then ride it across the country and back…all by yourself!

Recently at a local wine tasting event in  West Chester, PA, I (JoJami) spotted this Age-mazing™ women. I was drawn to her beautiful coat and entire ensemble of a turquoise necklace, snazzy boots, cool helmet and sunglasses! Of course I had to go up to her and chat her up!

She was beaming when she shared with me her inspirational story of how she packed up only the essentials (including a nice dress and a pair of heels) and went on a cross country adventure, solo on her motorcycle. 

She calls herself, a “Barbie Biker” because she has her own feminine style of biker dressing.  “Many women  think  you have to dress like a tough girl in head to to  black, Harley Davidson attire,” says Janice. ” I found the more I got into the sport, the more I realized that it’s only the beginers that dress that way. I love to be able to get off my bike and feel like I’m still me and not this alter ego.”

Well Janis, we agree that you look gorgeous and classy in your outfit!

As for her day job, Janis runs her own interior design firm.
