In praise of older women

When you do finally see something an article about older women being beautiful they usually throw one of these photos at you.

It's nice that these women are still working but c'mon. They were phenomenal knockouts when they were young.

Why can't we see more photos like this:

 

Gudrun Sjödén (love her clothing line)

That reflect what most of us more accurately resemble.

Or even this:

Old is not a four letter word

I have begun to look at older women differently. Yes, we many not be the fresh young roses we once were but there is still great beauty in a rose that is a little past it's prime with it's softer wrinkled petals.

 

   Old doesn't mean not beautiful but a different kind of beauty.  Truly, visiting the "advanced style" blog has changed my life. http://advancedstyle.blogspot.ca/

 I no longer worry about looking "young". I try to look "good".
