[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whenever I’m in NYC, Italy or some other cities, I often see older women who look really chic. I always study them and take mental notes because I totally want to be like that when I’m their age (which admittedly is coming up fast). I don’t often see many such ladies in this area... not sure why that’s the case - maybe there’s just a frumpier aesthetic here. [/quote]

No there is a "giving up" among some women here. There's a feeling among some that taking pride in your appearance after a certain age is denying the aging process or buying into the patriarchy or something. [/quote]

Or...I know this will be hard for you to grasp...there are some women who don't feel that aging naturally is "giving up".  And some of us never embraced the BS stuff that women are "told" they need to do just to sell more beauty products at any age.

Just because I don't wear heels (never liked them) and am not a sucker for the latest trends in clothes (which usually look silly on most people) doesn't mean I'm frumpy.  What is wrong with nice jeans, a nice t-shirt and a pair of sneakers?  Nothing.[/quote]
