it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty."

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only.

Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas,

the way we live, what is happening.”

The month of July always requires me to face the "aging factor!" At times, I feel the age span grows wider between me and some of my younger friends. I keep growing older, yet I tend to see them as staying the way they were, which of course, is not the case. I had a good friend who just turned 40 last week. Oh yes, I remember 40. While her mindset is that she has crossed the curve of being "middle aged", the fact is, 40 sounds pretty good right now. I told her to enjoy her 40's and celebrate these years, because they are a whole lot better than your 60's! Now I know to her, that sounds like "grandma years!" She commented, with her usual sense of humor, that she could not wait to visit me in the "old folks" home and see what hairstyle I had!

 

Hold on girly.....I ain't done yet!

So....in reading fashion tips for women over the age of 50,

these are snippets of an article I read recently!

 

Fashion after 50 celebrates how we make clothes look good on you because your wisdom, laughter, and creativity show you how to dress your fashion archetypes. No younger woman can bring that full-bodied, rich reservoir of inner savvy to life like you can. It's time to feel good about the skin you're in.
