The reality is that I'm not as young as I used to be, and to some extent, that's affecting my ability to make it in the job market. Even so much as five years ago, when I went for an interview, . . . more

I read that you only wear black! What about dark greens..I bet that this color would look great on your skin tone..as well, as some dark browns..or even a chocolate brown! You might want to try that out..ya know..as in a "turtle" neck or something..and NO, you will NOT look like a "sissy" not by a long shot! Just a thought!
OH and also what about velour shirts..long sleeves..(My dad who was bald wore these shirts..and he always look fantastic! Some people look great in them..betcha YOU would as well! Never say never!!) lol!

O, I know how you feel, I was nice and solidly solo for a decade until my friends could no loger tolerate my joyful singlehood and got their pixie dust out to sprinkle at my feet to walk me back into the world of relationships.
And through the myriad (actually it was only like a half dozen stupid dates) forest of nincompoops, I came upon HIM. ;) lol
It took me a decade to recover.
So enjoy it, it is a reflective time of easy breaths and moments that are all your own!
