What not to wear over the age of ___?!?!

I spent the morning on FB catching up with one of my favorite women's groups. Today the topic was the multitude of articles written about what a woman should and should not wear after the age of 30, 40, 50. Can you hear the outrage? Seriously! Everything from what age to cut off our flowing locks to the length of skirt and style of shoes. I don't know about you, dear reader, but I hadn't even sorted out who I was until... well, maybe now. So, I couldn't help but think of Izabel, an approaching 40 woman, and her carefree sense of style. My words of advice? Wear whatever you damn well please... Don't be a 'fraidy cat Monica ;) (character from BLUE)

Book Excerpt

Blue: A Novel

Her strawberry blonde hair fell in soft ringlets to her narrow waist. Her white embroidered peasant top flowed over the camisole she wore beneath it. Last night, she’d foregone her usual African print skirt for narrow capris that skimmed her slim yet curved hips. Her features tended more toward quirky than classic, but overall she was a striking presence. Men adored her, and in the normal scheme of things, women would have despised her, but her ethereal spirit and genuine love of others could not be ignored. Everyone on the island seemed to like Izabel Nivel: doula, artist, yogini, and cyclist.
