I will be turning 35 this year. Something I look forward to very much without regrets, any regrets whatsoever! In light of this very fashionable number I was especially thrilled to come upon this brilliant pearl of wisdom from Vogue UK July 2009 I would like to share with you:
" It took American women a while, but we've finally taken on board a certain truth. How we FEEL about ourselves has more than a little to do with how we care about ourselves. And that most definitely includes how we dress. Style isn't imposed on us by the Establishment. It's a daily affirmation of, well, our joie de vivre. We are each a painted butterfly, with different pattern on our wings. The concept that adornment can engender well-being is especially good news for everyone older than, say, oh 29. It's never been more true that you are only as old as you feel. You don't have to resign yourself to a life of tastefully restrained suits the minute you pass 35. You don't have to hide your Punk-Rock light under a bushel because you are over 50. Does this mean the average grand-mere should reveal her legs in walking shorts? Obviously not. Honest self-critique goes a long way! However, any women can translate the runway trends to her own benefit today. The best fashion - finally, honestly, FOR REAL this time - truly is ageless !"
