Advanced Style: Age and Beauty We're all going to get old someday
Sherril Miller   Advanced CA USA Member since 8/24/02 Posts: 7473	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 3/24/11 11:59 PM You must see this wonderful video of Women of a certain age and their idea of fashion. They have created a style all their own to please themselves, and be damned what anyone else thinks. They make me look forward to growing old!

But, one thing is for sure, they all look immensely happy! Turning 40 for me was eye opening. I decided then that if I didn't love something and it didn't make me happy, then I wasn't going to wear it. And also, that I didn't give a crap whether someone else thought it was ok or not. I don't dress outlandish but I do dress a bit different than the norm, especially here at work. I think people have finally gotten used to it. ------ http://kimsewsilly.blogspot.com/

I do consider it one of the benefits of having achieved my mid-40's that I don't have to worry about fashion anymore. I can wear what I like and what I think looks good and not be the least bit concerned about what someone else thinks -- reasonable expectations of public decency excepted (NO TIGHTS AS PANTS!!!!!). I like the way my hair is graying, no dye jobs for me. I like it at waist length, no chop and perm for me (a couple weeks ago an asian co-worker with slightly iffy English commented on the beauty of my "Cinderella hair"). I like wearing skirts and dresses. I like skirts at ballerina length. I like 3/4 sleeves and V-necklines. I like pink (though not candy/Barbie/Pepto-Bismol pink). I like floral prints. I loathe brown, detest orange, and wouldn't be caught dead in chartreuse for anything short of a zombie invasion. I wear a fanny-pack purse for several reasons including that carrying a shoulderbag makes the pinched nerve in my neck ache. And I don't have to answer to anyone about what I like or don't like. Cashmere sweaters and skirts dyed to match sound good to me, but I think I'll skip necklaces made of shooter marbles and billiard balls. ------ 3KB "The combination of physical strength and moral sincerity combined with tenderness of heart is exactly what is wanted in a husband."

Thanks for posting this video, Sherril. I read Ari's amazing blog 'Advanced Style' every day. Most of these women (with the distinct exception of Iris Apfel) shop in thrift shops for all their wonderful fashion finds! Advanced Style Iris Apfel -- Edited on 3/25/11 3:35 PM --

I do not have one stylish bone in my body. Do you think it is something your are born with or can you learn it? ------ Ada
