Style At a Certain Age
SUNDAY 5 MARCH
1:30PM - 2:15PM
PANEL TALK
Live Stage Emporium
If you are over a ‘certain age’ and confused by modern ‘mature’ fashion messaging, you are far from alone. On one hand we are told to embrace our diverse, ageing selves and on the other, we are told that we are too old. Ditto with our changing bodies. There has never been more fashion choice and yet we feel there is nothing for us. The secret to identifying our own style is finding and wearing clothes that speak to our souls and lift our spirits not just what we have been told suits our bodies.
Together we will discuss:
The issue of the ‘invisible woman’ - a feeling that we are less relevant as we age.
It is time for us to lead and change that dynamic.
Valuing and building our self-worth. Finding ease and style on our terms.
Being comfortable in the knowledge that we are still learning and changing.
Lookout at the way the terms we use such as ‘flattering’ ‘youthful’ ‘slimming’ ‘on-trend’ ‘anti-ageing’ and so on, are coded ways of saying that the ideal body is found and slim.
Post pandemic confidence - the vast majority of women speak of losing self-confidence, particularly over the last couple of years.
Getting more from our wardrobes. Making considered choices, conscious purchases.
Dressing or comfort and joy.
Embracing our own depth and wisdom, drawing on our strengths.
And as much more as we can fit in!
From two highly experienced ageless fashionistas, who not only fit into this age group but have multiple decades of experience working with ageless, extraordinary women too.
This is FREE event
