Fashion ideas are everywhere. I was flipping through my magazine with cupcakes on the cover and of course, new diets inside, when an article on style caught my eye. Three women in their late 20's to early 30's, were modeling this season's "four essential accessories". Perhaps I'm past the target age for this magazine since none of the models resembled me, but I still make a real effort to stay stylish. (So does my 86 year-old mother whose favorite jacket is a black leather blazer). It seemed several of the "must haves" were impossible for me to adopt. The heels? too high for bad knees; Belts? a no-no for an ample middle; Yes! the jewelry would work! The trend for fall is oversized, bold, heavy pieces. Be it large beads, a massive pendant or heavy metal, this is a style any age can wear. Accessorizing with jewelry is the exception to ageism. That is what is so wonderful about jewelry, it transends age and wearing current trends can make you look younger. My friend Bev is petite and lively, in her 70's, and looks best in vibrant colors and large pieces of jewelry. She's a real hip lady and trendy jewelry helps her stay that way!
