Style for the Baby Boomer Woman
June 5, 2009
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.

Elle, you know I am thrilled you’re doing this. Not the least because I am a baby boomer woman in need of fashion help!
More in email! xo

I found an exercise that helps upper arms. I hate that flabby thing that happens there.
