What to know some great cost cutting ideas, to save some money?
That is this weeks theme, at the Blogging Boomers #108, being held at So Baby Boomer.
There is a new crop of Hollywood celebrities that are turning 40, one of them being Molly Ringwald!
Find out about Molly’s new book and a wide variety of other Boomer topics at this weeks Blooging Boomers Carnival,
hosted by The Baby Boomer Entrepeneur.
We woman over 40 have been ignored for too long, but it looks like thing might be changing!
Michelle Obama on The View
It seems Michelle Obama has just the right combination of practicality and style sense to finally get the attention of designers. In fact, designer Elie Tahari has made Michelle his muse.
According to a recent article from the Wall Street Journal, Boomer style (actually she is a Generation Jones) has been ignored for too long, but designers and retailers just might be seeing the light. We mature women as a collective have the money and the taste, and just need the clothes! So why have we been ignored?
According to the article, “One factor that makes mature women tough to please is that, as a group, they wear a wide range of sizes. They lean toward colorful, trendy styles, but they don’t want to look like teenyboppers. They also want clothes that flatter their aging bodies – dresses that cover their arms, pants that are slimming and comfortable. And they don’t have time to graze malls as younger women do and so want sales associates to help navigate the clutter of clothes they often find in stores.”
We, Glam Gals at Fabulous after 40, have been shouting this message for years…FINALLY, thanks to Mrs. Obama, designers and retailers are finally perking up their ears.
Lets hope that we will start seeing more styles to be marketed to our demographic and if we could wave a magic wand, maybe even have over 40 models wearing the clothes in the ads!!!
Since we’ve been writing for Fabulous After 40, we’ve discovered a whole bunch of other great boomer blogs to help you live the fabulous boomer life you deserve. As a result, we’ve joined a group called Blogging Boomers.
