Yes, I have found a role model.
It's Zelda Kaplan, who says:
"So many young people are so afraid of becoming old. I would like them to know that from someone who is 94 years young, it is fun to be old".
The gorgeous New Yorker has been featured on Style Like U and I've added her brief, yet inspirational style-video for your viewing pleasure.
I wish she was my big sister.
Respect.

What a fascinating woman! I was just telling my daughter yesterday that what is really nice about getting older is that I worry less and less about what people think. Sweet liberty!
ReplyDeleteWonderful video and what a fascinating lady. Her outfits here remind me very much of the vibrant forms of national dress I see some African ladies in London wearing when they get dressed up to go to church.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful she is. Do you think we will be having a blog and posting at 95 years young???. Really something to look forward to.

PS I agree with the other poster that mentioned the Advanced Style blog. It's filled with wonderful people, who prove youth means nothing when it comes tom style!

ReplyDeleteI laughed when she talked about her mother being a seastress and checking the inside of the clothes--I do the same thing!

she is absolutely fantastic! my gradmothers and grandgrandmothers were chic too, but n not to such extend. brilliant!
ReplyDeletei'm following you as well. you've such incredible style. love it!
ReplyDeleteRespect. Indeed. I love how you touch on the subject of 'growing old' so fearlessly-- even your 'growing old disgracefully' tagline! So many people are afraid of growing older and into 'the unknown' but I think all of life must be lived and embraced, and if today is well-lived, then you set an awesome bedrock for tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteAnd in a well-dressed fashion too!
