60 years! (continuation and end)

Marie-Laure looked a long time like "the mom of the triplets", having been raised at the sisters, within an old family, silvery  longtemps and to the lessened heritage where subsist again, God thank you, a few beautiful pieces of argenterie. 

Nothing predestined Marie-Laure therefore to be interested so much fashionable the sartorial codes in his/her/its middle are precise. and so much until lately the women aged clothed as they had always been: with a twin-set to the cardigan on the shoulders, a right skirt and a necklace of pearls.

But like all has one end, and that today most girls of 60 years don't want to look like Simone Weill, some as gets married Laure are inspired of the fashion to forge itself/themselves a pace... cool.

Marie - Laure (67 years, 1m67, T.42) misses the special fashion of HER and Mrs. Figaro never. This year, she/it added Grazia where the description of the "tradi-connected tendency" challenged it. Therefore, this winter, she/it strives to have a pace Prada while wearing a jacket in big sweater of Massimo Dutti with man's belt and with his/her/its right jean, a Cerruti that she/it will carry with audacity with his/her/its penny loafer Jean-Claude Monderer bought in 94 and that are not damaged even. She/it keeps his/her/its bag Massimo Dutti of the year dernière. 

The attitude of Marie-Laure is to consider with interest. In general, one doesn't come back behind. The women of 40 years this year grumbles to wear the epaulettes that they wore in 80. The idea to revive Joan Collins-Devenue-Ringarde is quite intolerable Of it. He/it goes in the same way for the clothes that one wore too much. Thus, more of a rejects in mass the penny loafer, often associated to memories of a difficult and pimply adolescence.

One can consider therefore that the women who passed 40 years, reject the fashions "revival" instituted since the years 70. But if, as in the case of Marie-Laure, one kept a good memory of it, it is necessary to be prudent:

Ever of vintage. Still of the nine "to the manner of". The epaulettes Balmains are completely different from those of the 80'.  On will seem modern decidedly with. A jacket dyed to the mega shoulders will be charming on a girl of 20 years but on a more aged girl could make think that it didn't change a look since 20 ans. 

Because what makes granny, it is also the effect "stop on picture". Where some women freeze in a very precise sartorial style. To avoid therefore.

To come back from it to Marie-Laure, the summer, she/it mixes the bourgeois codes:

A right skirt, Cyrillus type, a graphic printed shirt 70' not vintage (bought in Italy, an unknown mark to the battalion), of the classic sandals that don't hurt the feet.

To modernize all that: she/it wears her/its cool shirt. That is to say over it his/her/its skirt with a belt. The belt is signed Hermes. A sleeve made of straw of Bali. The necklace of pearls (that is tradi-connected on the young and therefore terrific cool) would transform any girl who passed 50 years in "old bourge". Instinctively, Marie-Laure offered it to his/her/its daughter-in-law for the birth of his/her/its first grandchild and, wily, folded back on an unique pearl carried in sautoir. 

Thus, Marie-Laure succeeds in making young and dynamic. Her, that would see itself some Hermes or in Tod's, while folding back on Cyrillus and Massimo Dutti always manages to make kind.

Jacqueline is always a small thin woman with gray hair very short. (63 years, 1m56, t. 38) she/it is a wine grower in Gers, attached to the mayor of his/her/its small city and... ecologist.

She/it demonstrates us that one can be "fashion" while living in a farming world. Because Jacqueline is a woman who always had the sense of modernity. She/it chooses her/its clothes for them quoted convenient before all but impresses by his/her/its reactivity concerning fashion and his/her/its relative dexterity to be the good clothes (inhabitant in a city where the 2 boutiques most influential are "Shepherdess of France" and "Damarts").  

Thus, the summer, she/it wears dresses of monkish type to the grey tones (Monoprix). Of which she/it knows that the inspiration comes of Marni very close to Sybilla, a mark that she/it loved without can offer itself/themselves however him. (as you see it, she/it also reads the press fashion). She/it also wears a lot of utilitarian clothes (of type pêche/chasse) that she/it can obtain easily. She/it feminizes them with necklaces, here a big necklace fantasy that his/her/its daughter (not the last in fashion also) brought back him of St. Jean of Luz. As she/it is very sensitive to the ecology (a German lover in 68 is there for many), she/it immediately noticed the increasing number of marks "éco-friendly". So, she/it carries a bag of the young mark française  proudlyWelcome Mupp to, marked on the net (She/it is part of the pioneers of the net of his/her/its department) and dare some veja (again a "young" mark that doesn't make ridiculous on a more aged person).

The winter, she/it carries sure values. Still of the right jeans, always Wrangler or Lévi's. She/it remembers in the years 70 of the expeditions in Toulouse with his/her/its husband (at the time long-haired and bearded) to find a "American jean with a fly to buttons".  Elle knits a lot and makes itself of the gigantic scarfs inspired of the scarfs of the American colleges. And has some "classics" always to the feet (Clark's, Converse... that she/it was delighted to recover a few years ago to The Redoubt). modernity results here of the measure: only one accessory (giant) that comes to wake a look up passes everywhere and because Jacqueline takes account of the marks, those that have a history, a know-how, what is rather a stance of younger, the most aged not granting an importance to this kind of details because the most often, it is alas, the price that determines the choice.

Edit: Dans his/her/its promenade, Anne-Marie made me notice that this type of topic was rarely treated in the press. There are some magazines in which a woman of 60 years can find an echo however: The VOGUE USED of which the "descended age" that comes back periodically is often excellent, HARPER'S also present BAZAAR USA a "mature" fashion and in France we have the excellent WOMEN whom not saying it all high rather addresses to a readership close to 40 years that of 20 years. One can find in their pages shopping, of the ideas of perfect clothes for women of 60 ans. 

On the net, the Sartorialist shows us well often the elegant senior, otherwise I advise you of more than once to delight you of the blog "advanced trains" that only showing chic aged people is stuffed of joie de vivre.
