From Shoulder Pads to Self-Expression

Dressing for the Woman You Are

Once upon a time, we followed trends like they held the keys to acceptance. Neon eyeshadow? We did it. Power suits? We wore them. Denim everything? We owned it—proudly.

But now? Now it’s not about what’s trending. It’s about what’s true.

Welcome to Fads & Fashions—where we talk about the beautiful, bizarre, and liberating journey of style after 55. This isn’t about hiding aging. It’s about owning your evolution—wrinkles (linen and otherwise), wisdom, and all.

Style is more than clothes. It’s how you walk into a room. How you do your hair when no one’s watching. How you choose softness one day and statement boots the next.

And beauty? It’s not in the anti-aging serum (though let’s be honest, we love a good product that works). It’s in the mirror when you stop apologizing and start expressing.

Let’s Get Real About Style:

• What fashion trend makes you laugh—or cringe—when you look back?

• How has your personal style changed now that you're dressing for yourself?

• What does confidence look like when you see it in your own reflection?

This is your space to dish on products that surprised you, outfits that empowered you, and the quiet thrill of ignoring every fashion rule and feeling fabulous anyway.

Because at this stage, beauty and style isn’t something to chase—it’s something you define.
