Style for the Baby Boomer Woman
My blog is going to take a different emphasis for a while, at least through the summer. Because I’ve accepted a gig as a style expert on Live Person (liveperson.com/elle-mansfield), I feel it makes sense to support that work by posting exclusively about fashion.
My speciality is baby boomer women, since that’s what I am and I’m all too familiar with the questions that begin to arise as we get older:
* Do I look like I’ve raided my daughter’s closet?
* Must “age-appropriate” be synonymous with “frumpy”?
* How much skin can I show?
* What’s the perfect hemline for a 50-plus woman?
And my favorite question of all:
* What the heck happened to my neck/upper arms/thighs/belly?!
I hope you’ll visit often, and I hope you’ll find things here that help you make good style choices.
