From Tish over at A Femme un Certain Age on taking the time to look great...
Impeccable at any age
I know for myself, I don't make 1/2 the effort I should. Of late, I tend to go with what "works" - good enough for what I need to do today (work, errands, etc) but nothing to write home about. This post makes me think that I'm cheating myself by not putting out just a bit more effort!

Forget about politics....
The lady knows how to dress....
From
Fabulous After 40...
Michelle Obama sure has style! How does she do it?
What I like about her style is that she really does the high/low mix well - from what I've heard she buys both designer pieces and stuff straight off the rack as I would do in general women's retailers. She keeps the lines simple, a good strategy post 40, but knows when to add a "bump" piece (like the black belt on that delicious purple dress)that takes it up a notch!
She appears to do what we all should - knows her body shape well and focuses on those pieces that work well with it but don't break the bank!
Now THAT'S fiscal responsibility! ;-)

Interesting......
Her Forced Retirement
I have to say, the Sigrid was not my favorite among the Liz Claiborne stable, but I did buy a couple of pieces from that line and I know it had a loyal following.
Moreover it is yet one more disheartening case of a clothing maker who seems to want to run from the boomer woman as if we all had the plague! Even more so when it is the company that Liz Claiborne started specifically because she wanted to provide reasonably priced, quality garments for the professional working woman - of which we boomers make up a large segment!
I will be posting later on some of the changes I've noticed going on over at the Liz Claiborne website as a mere observer and long time fan of the LC brand - and in fairness I will say now that I have tentatively liked what's going on so far.
However, I find it disappointing that they appear to have treated the woman behind the Sigrid line and it's fans with so little regard - not the type of behavior I would have expected from this iconic woman's brand.

Okay, It's NY Fashion Week....
Again!
This time Fall 2008 is up! Having tried to keep up with Fashion Week in the past with an eye on commentating on it here, I've pretty much given it up as a bad job on my part -- because I HAVE a job and I just don't have the time or the heart to try to get over to Style.com and view every single show!
However I realize that you, gentle reader, might still be full of enthusiasm for this seasonal fashion madness...
So American Express (believe it or not!) to the rescue!...
American Express Fashion Network
American Express is literally giving you a a front row seat this year to Fashion Week! AE is providing live feeds of shows on the above link and I have to say ladies, it is amazing to be able to sit in your jammies (As I am right now as I continue to battle the mother of all colds!) and view these shows as if you were there - with out the irritation of squeezing into the tents!
Even better, if you miss the live feed you can look under Shows in the drop down menu and catch shows that you missed!
What am I loving so far?.....
ABAETE
I loved the shoes that ABAETE designed for Payless, so I've keep half an eye on their shows for the past couple of seasons. For Fall 2008, ABAETE really delivers with plenty of pieces a 50+ lady can add to her closet! You can see pics of the whole collection at the link above.
What did I love?.....
Okay, on this one....I'm not mad for the cut off pants - it's the jacket I think is fab! It can go over a pair of trouser pants or a dead on pencil skirt and rock them both!
This leather jacket is the bomb! Love the lenght, love the cut...if you can take a look at the runway show, check out the back - I loved the tailoring!
I'm not usually a fan of stuff hanging out from your skirt (always makes me think of my mom telling me to pull up my slip!), but for some reason this works for me. And once again, a great jacket!
I love the cut of this coat!
I know, I know - all these off shoulder blouses. But I know there are some post 50 ladies that can pull that off! And come on - we can all work the skirt! ;-)
The hem a couple of inches lower - winner for a night out!
I tend to wonder when I see the clothes presented during Fashion Week, what of those styles will find their way to where most of us shop - the Macy's, J. C. Penney's and Targets of the world! I predict that this layered sweater look will definitely find it's way into the main stream this fall. I know a lot of designers have been trying to make this short sleeve sweater over a long sleeve sweater work for a couple of seasons, but I think this is the best expression of that look that I've seen so far and one that can work for a wide variety of women.

The fabulous posts just keep on comin'!:
5 ways to go from Boring to Boomer-licious!
(Boomer-licious - that's how I'm lookin' to go out! ;-) )
The Pencil Skirt, do you have one in your closet?
(My answer? Yes I do! As far as I'm concerned a good black pencil skirt is a must have in every woman's closet. It should be hanging right next to your indispensable LBD!)
Falling in love with NYC
Now that you're Boomer-licious in your fierce pencil skirt - go rock the Big Apple!
