Extreme cold is here in Michigan this week, so it’s time to get serious about bundling up when we go outdoors.  If you are also experiencing low winter temperatures, you don’t have to wear bulky coats and end up looking like a blimp.  😀  There are ways to wear layers that keep you just as warm as a bulky parka and look better too.

Learning How to Support Ourselves and Our Sisters

I was pleased to be invited to attend the Influencers of Midlife Summit months ago for an early bird discount, but at the time I didn’t have the funds available.  Then, a week before the event, I came across some new information on the event.  I suddenly realized I could now afford it but had to pay full price since it was the last minute.  I found a great flight package that included The Hotel at Avalon where the conference was being held.

I spent the money, cancelled all my plans for the weekend, and flew out to Alpharetta, Georgia, just north of Atlanta.  My goal was to learn more about blogging and to contact sister bloggers to collaborate with.

I learned so much that it scared me once I was back home in Detroit.  What made me nervous was the immense time commitment to social media that I heard was necessary.  Can I really spend two hours a day on social media when I do not yet have money to hire help?  That’ll be the big question for my technical assistant @fuzzytek at our next meeting.

The best thing about the Influencer of Midlife event was being surrounded by women in their 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and beyond who were full of youthful vitality putting their unbounded energy into big goals.  They prove that later in life we are wiser and more capable than ever before to do things in a bigger and bigger way.  Age truly doesn’t matter!

Do You Think of Style When You Write Your New Year’s Goals?

T’is the time to make goals for the new year coming!  Goals for the new year include many areas of our life.  The common areas we usually think of are health, money and work, relationships, community service and shedding bad habits.  Age doesn’t matter.  Life is a constant process of growth and self-improvement.

I never thought about creating style goals until I read Angie Cox’s blog You Look Fab.  Inspired by Angie, I made a list of style goals the last two years.  You might like to make some style goals of your own, if you don’t already.

These are some of my style goals, past and future:

How to Be Glamorous in Evening Pajamas

Evening pajamas are not for sleeping, but rather for partying!  Since at least the 1920’s, women have entertained at home in silky, sexy, comfortable pajama outfits; then at the dinner parties of friends; then out to the theater and now on the streets day and night.  From Greta Garbo to Kate Moss, think of comfortable and flowing clothes in silky materials, soft cashmere, generous volumes, loose-fitting trousers, long flowing skirts, slides (especially sequined), slip-on shoes and smoking slippers.
