Cool new dancing shoes

The last few months I have been taking classes in both belly dancing and latin dance aerobics (Zumba). I've also had a lot of fun buying and making costumes and dancewear. I saw these new sandals yesterday at www.onstagedancewer.com, and I had to get them. They are called the "Dansurf 2" by manufacturer Sansha. While they don't particularly match my belly dance costumes, I'll enjoy wearing them in class to protect my feet. I also like to wear this style with casual clothes on evenings and weekends.

Coachella festival was the place to be

Although I rarely get to California, i wish I could have gone to the Coachella music festival to see Paul McCartney. I've been a big fan of him and the Beatles since I was in kindergarten. I'd also love to check out the fashions, like these from www.style.com.

Love this unusual look

This is a picture of Sasha Pivovarova from www.styledumond.com. I like it mostly because its unusual and original. I also like to cover my thin hair with hats, scarves and wigs and this is a cute alternative. I am also a crocheter and I like the layers of white fur, crocheted vest and tweed suit. She looks very sophisticated!

Brazilian exercise clothes are cute and sexy

These cute workout clothes are all Brazilian style workout clothes from www.bodybybrazil.com. Although they are expensive, I would love to own some of these. Unfortunately, in my town, women my age seem to wear the most baggy ugly outfits possible when they are working out.

What are they thinking? I would rather try to look cute.

Liz Blair's art and fashion: Older women feel ignored by fashion industry

Older women feel ignored by fashion industry

Although I am not quite 50, I can understand why some older women feel ignored by the fashion industry. I read a really great article today about a woman who decided to abandon the fashion industry when she turned 60, because she felt that they were ignoring her and others of her age.

In todays Guardian, at www.guardian.co.uk, Alison Lurie is interviewed from her Florida home. I guess that she and some of her friends are sort of boycotting the fashion industry. Refusing to buy their clothes, cosmetics and hair coloring products. Alison and her friends have a good point. They say that they feel a certain freedom from having to keep up with society's expectations that a woman should fit stereotyped notions of beauty.

I have noticed that there are not very many women my age who have fashion blogs. I wonder why?
