		<description>My recipe is to mix 2 parts classic (such as a blazer or black anything) 1 part fun (trendy blouse/tee or jewelry) 1 part sexy (heels baby!) Then if the fun/sexy is a bit too much, the classic tones it down. I say: wear it now, because when you are 80 you&#039;ll wish you did!</description>

		<description>I have always been into fashion, and style, and panache.  And there is plenty to wear in the stores.  All the stores.  By this  age women  should know their own style, and your colors and your look, which means you can shop very efficiently, knowing a good value when you see one, what to buy for investment (designer) and what you buy for fun (H&amp;M, Target) and ,my personal favoerite, The Gap.    Of course shoes are fabulous and sexy, and handbags are Kate Spade.  

My look is basic and hardly changes.  a black pencil skirt, black fishnets, a T shrit--cotton, silk, cashmere,  in one of &quot;my&quot; colors which would be mauve, purple, blue/red,   and , a black jacket.or black silk blazer.  

Accessories  changes season to season.  new earrings, add a scarf, add some leopard etc.  Here is where i show off my vintage brooch collection.  

and everything is a variation of that.  change the blackl skirt to a black A-line, to a black gored,  t  I have one silk camy, and two cotten to wear undernearth for layering.

I&#039;ve told me frined, if i ever even think of buying something at coldwter creek,  kindly shoot me.   

I think the problem is that the women are too fat, or don&#039;t know their own style.  it doesn&#039;t matter what the stores are selling there are always the same basics and that&#039;s what you buy, the basics that work for you.  then you fill in w/ your personality and accesories and a few extra pieces to just look great., Good quality stuff is better, but selectivly buying cheaper can really work well, too. I love my stuff from Target, and it usually cost between $10-$25.   

i also note that many women want &quot;comfort.&quot;   I strive for &quot;look fabulous&quot; and as a result, that&#039;s what I end up looking like.  And I like comfort, too, and I usually AM comfortable.  I mean, since when is comfort 24/7 a criteria.  why do i want to see you in your sweats, when i&#039;d rather look at something more pulled together and lovely?  Comfortable is what you are at home.</description>

		<description>My favorite moment recently was on &quot;Project Runway&quot; when the mothers and daughters came out on the runway and the &quot;poor&quot; designers muttered to themselves &quot;Oh God, I hope we don&#039;t have to design for the MOTHERS!&quot;  Well . . . they should!  I&#039;m always complaining that I&#039;m stuck between clothes that are appropriate for my daughter and clothes that are appropriate for my mother. If I had a limitless budget I could afford to be Stacey and Clinton &quot;chic,&quot; but, LET&#039;S GET REAL!  And now a plug.  Ladies . . . for a great laugh tune in to &quot;50 To Death&quot;  A web series about three boomers jousting with the 21st Century.  Just go to http://www.50todeath.com</description>

		<description>I find I cannot go wrong with Kaspar, Anne Klein, Ann Taylor, and Jones New York. Always stylish, pulled together, slimming, and I look like I have a lot of money.</description>

		<description>Until I can fit into JCrew again, I am relegated to LLBean and J.Jill. Which means that I look like a dowdy old preppy mommy though I am neither a preppy nor a mommy.</description>

		<description>You poor &quot;baby&quot; 50s gals.  Wait until you hit the 60s and try to look fabulous, without looking like an &quot;old&quot; hippie in spandex.</description>

		<description>That JUICY word on your ass being false advertising is hysterical. What a great line.  Great blog.  Reminds me of how every time I look at a Vogue magazine (at the hair salon) or a New York Times Magazine Fashion issue, all I do as I flip the pages is mutter, &quot;Ugly.&quot;  &quot;Ugly.&quot;  &quot;Ugly.&quot;  Who wears that crap??  I like a combination of Urban Outfitters--even though I have to spend a lot of time sifting through the stuff that will never be appropriate for someone my age (not to mention the ear-bleeding music), the stuff my two or three designer friends let me buy at half price and jeans, jeans, jeans that don&#039;t make my ass look fat.</description>
