Walk into your “new life” with power!
Now that spring is around the Conner we are all frost to look in our closet to
see what works as fashion tells what is no longer the it thing to were and
women in there 40’s and 50’s are still try to finger out how to get a good night
sleep; with waking up in a “puddle of sweet” I’ll leave that for another blog post:
so what is it about the spring that has everyone filling like kicking everything
they owned or loved at one time or anther that’s no longer works in there
closet? One of the things I’ve noticed in the few times I’d head out to the
stores; everything pretty much looks the same – what one would call “fast
fashion” like your h&m’s, Zara and so forth- now before you get all up and
arm’s; by no means am popping on these branded – I still have alot of pieces
from these brands that I love. – as fear as fashion I believed I’ve picked in the
80’s and 90’s and if you were born in the 70’s you know what I mean. the
“chuck julary” to the baggy – jeans were movies like boomerang t.v, shows like
martin were setting the tone when it came to street – wear; oh don’t get me on
the music can we say ” Don’t go chasing water falls by
TLC! I still see remnants of “punk rock” and” hip-hop” in
my wardrobe if I’m being perfectly honest.
Many women in their 40s and 50s experience feeling stuck with fashion for several key reasons:
- Changing Body Shape: Natural physical changes during this life stage can make previously reliable styles feel less flattering, leading to uncertainty about what works now.
- Fashion Industry Focus: Most fashion marketing and trends target younger demographics, making it challenging to find age-appropriate yet stylish inspiration.
- Identity Transition: This age brings significant life changes, causing women to question their personal style and how to express themselves authentically.
- Societal Expectations: Conflicting messages about “age-appropriate” dressing versus staying trendy can create confusion and hesitation.
- Limited Options: Many clothing lines don’t cater well to this age group, offering either overly young or matronly options with little in between.
Theses phase can be an opportunity to redefine personal style and embrace fashion that combines comfort, sophistication, and self-expression.
How ever this phase can be an opportunity to redefine personal style and embrace fashion that combines comfort, sophistication, and self-expression.
