Inspired by Advanced Style

Ari Seth Cohen, advancedstyle.blogspot.com, is the indisputable champion of older women everywhere - their beauty, style, individuality, and creativity.  They (we) are not invisible anymore and deserve to be noticed and acknowledged.  Following his lead, I photographed a woman in my local post office who had on a beautiful white fur hat and black fur coat (both faux), accented by a bright purple scarf.  When I told her that I liked her style and thought she looked beautiful, she was thrilled and said, "You made my day!"  So here she is - Catherine Hartman of North Cape May, NJ.  She made my day too! 

Birthday Bangles

My sister has a lot of beautiful costume jewelry and we played dress-up today before we went out for lunch.  I couldn't decide which one I liked best so I decided to just wear all my favorites at the same time!  My sister took photographs of me in front of this stunning painting that hangs in her living room.  

I am glad to be with my family and friends here in NYC to celebrate my birthday today.  I am 58 years old.  Style gets better and better with age.  To see some really stylish older women visit advancedstyle.blogspot.com.  It is my "go to" site for inspiration on a daily basis.
