Take heart! I've written a blog, Passage des perles, for nearly two years devoted to style and culture for women 50+, but younger women enjoy it too!

And I recommend Une femme d'une certain age, Deja Pseu's wonderful blog, too!

In Style is not especially stylish.

What were you doing, running for Ms. Swimsuit Alabama? Ewww. <br /><br />Anyway I ADORE the hoofy Fluevogs, have one pair I'm waiting to see if the toe style comes back in fashion. Awesome. <br />Crusty Birkenstocks, not so much.<br /><br />I gave up on fashion long ago and have lived in my own gypsyhippie/urbanblackgoth/agingartisticjewelryhorse world (that covers three decades there)for a long time. Screw fashion. DIY and become a beautiful bird. Except when you go to work. Then you wear anything you don't have to dryclean that won't frighten anyone that's black. See?, simple.

Goes anywhere. Wears like iron. All my surviving clothes are some version of the barrel. I don't need the suspenders because the barrel is snug.<br /><br />Just catching up here and really enjoyed this and your story about flying with Ma Gyllenhall. <br /><br />I'll bet she has been reading Fussy ever since.

Sounds like something the Swedish Chef would say on "Sesame Street" (or was it the Muppet Show?) but I digress... Had to look it up. Funkalicious, albeit expensive. Fluevogs? Fluevogs!

So my closet keeps getting emptier and emptier. Oh well. <br /><br />Good for you for not shopping for a year. Once I can afford too I might actually head out to the nearest Kohls. But I sure won't be buying flesh tone pumps. They creep me out too. I'm a purger and I hate shopping. So my closet keeps getting emptier and emptier. Oh well.
