60 years! (II)

He/it was a time where Solange was a bomb. Pionnière of the naked breasts in St. Tropez, protester in the amphitheaters, chorister of Polnareff... following a bourgeois marriage, she/it opened a store of antiques in a district chic of Paris, became one of these women elegant of the left strand, had two children and divorced late on the.. 

We recover it in 2009, to 65 years, always elegant "and yet, tells to me her, I come back from afar... "It is that a cruel test waits for the majority of the women that passed about fifty: the hold of weight. It is what arrived to our Solange that while taking a kilogram gently every year, then crossing a zone of hormonal turbulances, realized one day, that she/it became an old woman. A period of depresses followed and Solange remained well two years while dressing with that that fell him under the hand. The vision of a round and elegant woman in the street was a shock treatment and it decided to face the adversity then.

She/it became again elegant and especially, she/it didn't make granny. Because Solange has a technique.

The choice of the colors: Solange makes associations of modern colors. she/it mixes the navy and the black for example, what can appear obvious for many but that for the girls of his/her/its generation, is innovative enough. She/it associates the chestnut and the navy, the yellow lemon and the camel...

The pieces keys of the season. Solange reads the press attentively and look at the street. She/it chooses among the "best sellers" of the moment what she/it can appropriate. what is well when one is 60 years old, it is that one is not obliged of to jump immediately on the tendency, one takes his/her/its time, one observes and when one sees that it is a tendency that gets settled and that can function on an aged woman, one fonce.

She/it doesn't hesitate to clear the doorstep of the luxury boutiques. Today, a quadra and a thirty-year basic can to slap for a bag of luxury if she/it wants it and carry it with the "expensive step". It is recent enough as gait. Because the more aged women are often intimidated by the luxury even though they have the means of it.

Glasses: ever on the tip of the nose with chains. There is not worse to make granny. To replace the chain, a sort of carry-glasses necklace on sale among a lot of opticians to all prices. This one makes 30.. Ever of golden setting. At the more aged women, the specter of the old, it was glasses in scale. Today, it is the opposite. Because of a commercial misunderstanding that promulgated that the golden made chic, the opticians threw themselves over. That one tells itself it: the golden glasses, that makes granny a point that is all. Here, glasses are marvels of JF REY on sale among opticians Delambre.

Thus, she/it makes his/her/its proud with a sweater "loose" in transparent stitch (Dries Van Noten on sale), a necklace Roger Vivier offered by his/her/its children for his/her/its birthday (she/it had suggested them well evidently it), a right skirt (Jodhpur of the Gallery Lafayettes), the new loafers of Repetto, two charming bracelets of Apriati and a bag Pierre Hardy, of which she/it has chosen the model shopping bag rather than the model to sling that pointed at a young can make granny at a mature.  woman

The summer, she/it likes the carry-leaf dresses, very feminine united or to graphic motives, she/it avoids the flowers. His/her/its more: the particular sandals, here an UGG model in returned skin!. Note his/her/its watch. A SUIW 400 of Swatch blanche.

His/her/its hair is white snow. She/it is delighted, she/it has the impression to be turntable, her that was always chestnut brown.

There are the women who make the gym and that weigh their food, there are those that, with the fashion, threw the sponge and there are those that walk their pads with elegance. Françoise is of those.

It is a small woman who was always round and smiling. To 61 years, she/it is a model of elegance and discernment concerning fashion. And yet, nothing predestined Françoise to be bip fashion.. Bride to a former trotskiste that looked at the girls who followed the fashion with a hateful air, baba cool in the years 75 / 85, Françoise also comes back from afar.. besides... she made all his/her/its career to the taxes in a small city of province.

Whereas one imagines an inspector of the taxes as sad that the furniture made of gray metal that decorates his/her/its office, strength is to note that more of one, concerning fashion, and of joie de vivre, has some under the hood. 

Françoise chooses the pieces that make young without making ridiculous or old kid instinctively. Thus, this winter she/it wanted to have a jacket of leather (oh! you tell yourselves, what audacity!) She/it has it chooses black (tendency), riquiqui to the armholes (re tendency) and she/it took it at Caroll. So: classic shape + black leather = perfect for 60 years. She/it carries it on a maxi sweater (Monoprix), turtle neck to hide his/her/its double chin. She/it plays on the contrasts of lengths, thing that is not necessarily included at the more aged women. The all is carried impudently on the famous jean of Counter of the Cotton, (their best to saddle of has 4 years?) that she/it bought to The Redoubt then. She/it carries it snub on boots Géox. The summer, she/it wore snub jeans a lot to mid-calf, what made a beautiful alternative senior with the shorts in jean to reverse carried by them (many) younger. She/it is all proud to possess THE bag Weill creates by Miss  Agnès. (It is his/her/its daughter who marked it in the press and offered).

The summer, she/it wears ample dresses, as here, a dress-shirt that she/it carries without belt, to make cooler and not granny. She/it privileges the collars of shirt that are flattering to the girls who have a "bump of bison" unjustly. She/it cracked for these tropéziennes and door one of these shopping bag found in Italy, not dear and that have a mad muzzle. The ultimate accessory, it is his/her/its scarf. Ah! What fantastic accessory! He/it hides the double chins and necks crumpled various and cache while falling again the pads and omnipresent chests (that you can guess on the dotted line of the drawing). Makes the sky that this hard fashion a long time. It is the case typical of the accessory fashion that goes from 7 to 77 years.

Thus, Françoise while associating the pink (classic) to the military khaki (not classic) becomes a radiating sexagenarian of coolitude... The color of his/her/its hair, sprinkled of some white hair, is of origin.
