When the Coronavirus invaded our world, fashion and style seemed to pale in comparison to the serious issues that we suddenly had to deal with. Many fashion bloggers wondered if what they had to offer was important. So why is style important, even now? I found some answers.
The first thing that I thought to do as a fashion and lifestyle blogger for women over 60 (age doesn’t matter; we all have the same basic needs) was to address the issues of health and well being, physically and emotionally.

I was a bit skeptical when I read that people over the age of 60 were some of the most vulnerable. I thought that was a generalization that everyone over 60 was at a frail point in life. But that’s not what I see. My community of friends virtually and in real life are quite healthy women who look much younger. I felt that they should probably not be lumped into a category of people who are frail and vulnerable. But I’m not an expert, so…what do you think?
