The Old-Fashioned Habits That Make an Older Woman Look Expensive

🌸 Not Done Yet: style, confidence and a life of your own after 60 https://dianehollis.com/ Every April a woman named Marjorie came into my shop, and whichever girl I had on the register would come find me in the back and whisper that the rich lady was here. She'd been the school secretary for thirty-one years and lived on what a school district pays a secretary. She bought two things a year. What she had wasn't money. It was habits, the kind her mother had, the kind most of us set down somewhere around 1985. In this one I'll walk you through the old-fashioned habits that make an older woman look expensive: 👔 The iron, and the seamstress who turns a forty-dollar pair of slacks into three hundred 👠 Shoes polished and resoled, and looking at your clothes the way you'd look at somebody else's 👜 One good purse, cleaned out on Sunday night, and the ninety seconds that finish getting dressed 🧥 Standing up and slowing down, and wearing the same good things over and over …and why what people are really seeing isn't money at all. Looking expensive is looking like somebody's taking care of you. At our age, that somebody is mostly us, and you're worth the fifteen minutes. If a full life after 60 sounds good to you, subscribe and stick around — that's what we do here every week. 🌸 What habit did your mother or grandmother have that I didn't get to?
