Flattering50: Fashion Over 50: What’s the point?

Flattering50: Fashion Over 50: What’s the point?:

'via Blog this'

Get thee over to my newest over 50 fashion blog find Flattering50 and read this excellent post on being fashionable once you cross that 50 mark!

I TOTALLY agree with the observation that as women get older we suddenly find ourselves with the freedom to dress just to please ourselves. While irritating of course (and yes, maybe even heartbreaking if truth be told), that sudden "invisibility" that happens when a woman hits 50 brings with it some privileges - like being able to say "to hell with it - I like it so I'm wearing it!" ;-)

Another fab post from Alison G. over at the wonderful Wardrobe Oxygen!

What a great way to think about how your closet shakes out! I'm thinking it would be fun to reorganize my closet based on the personality styles of the clothes - what a great way to learn something about yourself that you probably never thought about!

Not only is this lady's look AWESOME - but I love what she says about "chasing youth"! It's what I've maintained - you can't get it back ladies! You can only move forward with grace and a sense of style!

Too much in your closet?

I'm about to embark on a closet clean out (I'll be posting on that later!).  While I'm not sure I will tackle any selling on Ebay, it is an option.  And in these days of money too tight to mention, a few extra coins are always welcome!

Over at The Recessionista, she's giving tips on what is most sellable on EBay:

Personally, I think ALL women should embrace their silver strands! You've earned them ladies - be proud of them!

(I tried getting my hair dyed about a year ago - I HATED the look! My gray is back and I'm holdin' on to it!)
