Something every woman simply MUST have in her wardobe - 2 pairs of wonderfully fitting black slacks! Like the LBD, they are the never fail go to item! Personally, I like to pair them with a crisp white shirt - you just can't go wrong! ;-)

Check out this wonderful outfit....

The Post-Materialist | Fashion Grows Up

Okay, you gotta love the image of the runway being "stormed by elderly male models". And if you don't get yourself over to Advanced Style to check out folks who are growing old with style - well you're crazy! And when I say growing old with style, I mean their very own personal style - uncoupled and independent of fashion!

A great article....

NY Magazine Look Book: Suzanne Golden, Bead Artist

Do yourself a big favor and click over to read her comments. (I love what she says about growing older.) She's a perfect example that growing old doesn't mean being old when it comes to how you dress.

Discover or rediscover yourself - and roll with it!

Reality Dressing over at Spiegel...

One of the things I love about Harper's Bazaar is a feature they have in every month's issue. Titled "Fabulous at Every Age", the article takes the most current fashion trends and breaks them down for women ages 20 to 70 giving examples of how to wear that trend for your age group.

It is a great feature and I believe they are the only fashion mag out today that does this as a regular feature! If you get a chance to check it out do - I highly recommend it.

Now it looks like Spiegel is attempting to do the same.....

Reality Dressing: Fabulous at Any Age

I think it is a good first attempt. However, they fall short in my eyes in that they suggest pieces that don't always come in every size - definitely something they need to improve!

Still, I'm heartened to see at least the beginnings of major retailers realizing that women at every age want to remain stylish -- and the sample outfits do have promise.

So go on over and take a look - and kudos to Spiegel for getting with the program! ;- )
