On the Subject of Style Over 50….
Since we are on the subject of What Not to Wear, I first introduced Stacy London’s book to you in 2012. I have referenced it several times since then…it is as much a psychology book as it is a style book…and still the best I have read on the subject.
Here is just a sampling of my favorite quotes:
Style doesn’t start with your body – it starts with your brain.
By changing your style, you’re forced to change the way you perceive yourself.
It’s everyone’s right to feel good regardless of age, size, and budget.
You limit your options every time you do not try your best
CELEBRATE EVERY DAY THE PERSON YOU ARE AND GARNER THE LEVEL OF RESPECT YOU DESERVE.
When we allow others to control how we feel about ourselves, we give up an essential sense of power.
The goal should always be to look good for your age, not to look as if you are chasing your youth. Nothing screams “out of touch with reality” more than trying to look twenty years younger than you are.
After 40, you hit the new A.G.E.: Attractiveness, Generosity, Experience
It takes the same amount of time to put on good clothes as bad clothes
Perfection is the enemy of style. It’s actually the enemy of all of life experiences. If you don’t try, you don’t fail – but you don’t succeed either.I

Have a wonderful Weds!
I've always enjoyed Stacy London. She has a way of cutting through the BS. I had no idea that she had a book out though. Wonderful quotes.
Hi Rena, I believe you would really like this book. I look at it often for ideas and inspiration! Thanks for stopping by!
Wow…you look smashing in the photo! I am adding the book to my list. I could use the inspiration when it comes to fashion! 🙂 Btw, I love the quote that after 40 you hit the new age A.G.E.
Yes, I love that cape Pam – looking good my dear.
It is very inspirational and really does approach dressing from a different viewpoint of any other style book. I think you will like it.
Thanks Antionette…if I tire of the cape, I will send it to you…I know you need warmth in Delaware!
great advice from Stacey.
At first & second glance at your photo I thought; hmmm, there's something different about Pam! Oh, she's not wearing glasses & her hair style is shorter…you look marvelous Pam!! After watching Stacy London's trailer for her book I'm going to check it out. Thanks!
This is my new favourite outfit on you – you look fabulous and love the hairstyle!
Those are all great quotes!
