ADVANCED STYLE

After my too much coffee and dwelling on amaaaaaazing beach times over the weekend, my wonderful friend JoJo posted a video link on my facebook page and instantly propelled my spirits into infinite happiness.


Advanced Style is a blog that captures the essence of style and age and reveals that some of the most well-dressed women we see on the street are also the oldest.


I don't know about you, but I often perpetuate the idea that with age invites succumbing to the inevitability of a drab and lifeless wardrobe, as one lusts over the colour of their youth. There is an inescapable fear of growing old and losing touch with the little pieces of ourselves that made us feel somewhat electric. 


I watched one of the many short excerpt's that Ari Seth Cohen, the curator of Advanced Style, has put together to inspire both young and mature women to hold onto the vivacious sense of life that we can create through our own style consciousness. 




So inspired by the fearlessness with which these women approach age. It's a testament to the way people's attitudes towards life are reflected in the way they dress themselves. 


I'm going to keep my eyes peeled on the streets of Brisbane to see how many mature women are living by the mantra that style and grace defy the limits of age.
