Pops of Color

I recently watched a movie on Netflix about Iris Apfel.  That woman sure knows how to dress and express her creative self!  I was so inspired that the next day I dressed up and made sure that I was being true to my creative, artistic self.  I layered the bright colors that I adore in strands and combined it with clothes I had not thought to combine in the past. 

Last night, I watched a documentary made by a fellow blogger Advanced Style--featuring women over the age of 50 - 94 who dress in high fashion and don't give a hoot about what people think.  

I am dearly fond of all clothes from the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s.  I have decided to incorporate into my daily style vintage scarves, rhinestone brooches, lovely flowing skirts and delicious heels. As a woman who is at the very peak of the first half of my first century, I don't want to slide into the second half of my century being boring and blah.  I, too, like Iris, want to be fabulous, expressive and memorable in my personal styling.  

If you haven't seen Iris Apfel or the ladies from Advanced Style, you absolutely must see them.  Perhaps you'll think they are too over the top...but they are as true to themselves and as comfortable in their skins as they are in their varied finery.

Vintage silk scarves are full of beautiful color and oh so stylish
no matter what era we're in.
