Fashion Lady!





Making attractive, figure-flattering clothing for women over 40 should not be impossible. Still, I have a great many clients who are frustrated by what they find in stores. The clothing is either frumpy and matronly, or is garish and trying to be too young. I’ve often thought this was an American problem, but my aunt in central France had the same complaint about a lack of clothing for her age group. She still managed to look wonderful every day, wearing simple slacks, a nice sweater, and a pretty scarf (always the scarf!). Irene is pictured above with my daughters.

I am not sure Fashion Lady had the answers, but I do think dressing in solids and making the most of accessories is one option.
