I was going through my bookmarks and rediscovered this site, Advanced Style, which I love.Officially becoming a Woman of a Certain Age has got me thinking about what I wear, how I project myself and how much fun I'm going have from here on in. I've never been one to worry about people liking me or wearing the latest, just-right thing (although I do admit a more than obsessive need for Calvin Klein jeans back in the 80s). For most of my life I've been pretty much happy to just be me. I don't want to be 22 again, running around like a sad and desperate Orange County "Real" Housewife. I want to settle into age, wear it like a comfortable sweater and revel in the choices that have brought me thus far.
Today's entry at Advanced Style caught my eye because of Carole's fabulous handknit cashmere sweater. I love how she just totally OWNS it. Dang it! I need more cashmere! So what if it's expensive! I'm frickin' worth it! I'm going to stop being so practical and start wearing things that make me happy. Maybe one day I'll be grand old dame with style, eh?
You definitely deserve cashmere! Go for it!
Do you watch "Men of a Certain Age"? It's my favorite new show.

You absolutely deserve cashmere! And you're right she does own it!
