you have to be careful what you wear, but if you can wear it when you're 25, you can probably wear it again when you're 55, but not when you're 45.

the sweater jacket, hood & buttons optional.

the brooch, any brooch.



when worn by a woman under 30, these items look chic.

when worn by a woman in her 30s... well, it could go either way.

a woman over 40 in these items will resemble a dowdy grandmother.

a woman over 50 can wear these items and look dignified.

same items, different result.

this is not my opinion.

this is simple truth.
