Anyone can look “nice” and when every one gives Jackie O or Audrey examples of style I just yawn. What? A cashmere sweater and 500 dollar gabardine pants and Hermes scarf is a winner? I do not have an example of who I think has great style but I know it when I see it.

I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person. ” -Hannah Lee

Elegant not flashy in clothes that were expensive and tasteful and impeccably tailored. Audrey Hepburn was another classic. Who today compares?

And it looks like she is trying desperately to be young again. Sure, she looks great for her age, but she needs to dress a little more conservatively and classy. She has to understand her revealing, raunchy attire will look even more ridiculous as she nears 60. She needs to stop- now.

It’s mostly a golf and boating scene and the over tanned and over bleached look of most of the older women makes me very uncomfortable… the aging Gidget who never really looks in the mirror anymore. I was worried I had a problem with aging, even though I am already there myself. Then,early one morning I was walking the beach and saw a quite elderly woman walking towards me. Even though she used a cane and had long frizzy gray hair there was something so vibrant in her face.. she seemed years younger than the ladies at the marina or on the golf course. She had a colorful dress and was stopping to pick up shells ( I know, a no no if one doesn’t want to act old ). I think trying not to look old can sometimes make a person ( men too ) look older than they actually are. And I still pick up shells too.

I must not end up on What Not To Wear! You score old points if you’re chosen for that show, even if you’re twenty-five.

I love getting older and not having to be a fashion queen…and now since chemo and loosing my hair as it’s come in gray..I left is gray, short and no longer have bad hair days…I love it…

I love the quote “why you age is up to nature, how you age is up to you”. I have decided to age with grace, but stay young forever!
