I won't tell you how old I am. My age definitly doesn't define me, my personality, my style. Just let me tell you that I'm a very young old lady, because I like to say that ! French fashion magazines are full of gourous who want to teach me the rules to stand comfortably in the norm : " Sweety Darling, at your age you can't no longer wear short skirts, too bright colors, and don't show your arms, even if it's 36°C outside, cause they're ugly" that brings me about anxiety panicks ! Am I the only black sheep who refuse to feed this reality ? If everybody believes the same thing, it ends to exist, but then, the contrary is possible too. That's how I realized I didn't believe in fashion magazines gospels anymore. I was arrived too far and too deep in my personnal style connecting it with my deeper personality, my history, my soul. And fashion only interests me if it's a mean of expression. So, now you know, I don't listen to the rules. I'm too huge, I'm too blurred, I'm too free, I'm too messy, too evasive. I hate rules, that's surely because I'm an old punk you know ! (yes, I like to say that too about my age !) I worn that to watch my students passing their Geography exam

Great writing and philosophy to follow! After I turned 50 I started to fret about my arms...until the first hot days of summer and then I thought Fuck it! Why be uncomfortable and lose my style at the same time? The only thing that matters is telling the truth to yourself.

Amen to all that!!! I totally subscribe. I couldn't care less about the guidelines in fashion magazines or people's conventional idea of 'style'. In fact, everything fashion magazines praise as 'stylish' usually happens to be the total opposite of what I like LOL
