Mature Fashion: Rocking Age, Your Way

Hello Fashion Friends;


This blog, "Rock My Ages",  is about much more than the fashion that is discussed and displayed on this site or the subject dedicated subject sub blogs (RockmyRole.blogspot.com. It is a way of looking at life as we age, at our individual lifestyle in particular, and the physical and mental assets each of us bring to it. Creating personal style is the art of creating images based on the various roles of a  lifestyle and showing the world at large what one wants to be shown. 

Each of us do this in the way we interact with others; in our speech, in our walk, and in the way we dress, whether we like it or not.  

To review, the goal of this blog is to interact with women, especially the +40 group, regarding the personal confidence challenges of this more mature group. 40 is the "tipping point" for most women's sense of aging, usually accompanied by the feeling of losing personal power and confidence. Understanding that a woman can look marvelous no matter her age, her weight, and much of the time, no matter her disability. 

We want the message we are sending to be the one we intend. We send a message every time we speak, in our mannerisms, and in the way we dress whether or not we want; it may or may not be the one we intend; basic human psychology.

Creating our own personal style is about expressing our own unique individuality through visual presentation; our make-up, our physical appearance, and in the way we wear our clothes and the fashions we choose. Confidence in how we look is what "sells" what we want to project to our audience.  "Style" never goes out of style.

If we do not have one already, it is important to develop a personal fashion style primarily because we Feel Good when we believe we look good. We want to create our own "personal brand". It may be complicated or simple, but it must be authentic and suitable to our lifestyle. All of this can be achieved within any budget, any degree of comfort, and in any role. It just takes a little time, a little imagination, and a certain desire to "be all we can be". RockMyAges is about more than just fashion or style; it is all about feeling good about ourselves; about feeling we look good and the accompanying confidence that we feel in all aspects of our life.  It will still be closely involved with fashion (i.e., what you can expect to see information regarding the upcoming fashions, etc.) but not so much the information you might find in a manual.

Rocking one's age is about more than just styling, however.  It encompasses all the ways we can live lives to the fullest; it just begins with how we feel about ourselves.  The "RockMyStyling.blogspot.com" blog was created to move the "styling" aspect from RockMyAges and RockMyRole. It will become my "manual" for those who feel they may need some assistance in personal styling or (hopefully) to share some of their personal tips.    Styling will remain an important element of each of the blogs, but I find the nitty gritty of personal styling know how needs its own space. I will be moving some of the content of the other blogs that deal with the "how to" to this dedicated styling blog.
