Advanced Style

You know how if you wait long enough you will find someone is out there putting your idea together without even asking you?  Well I feel a little bit like that when I cam across this project.  (Thanks to Mira Reisberg for sharing it with me).  A few years ago I read about the Sartorialist and his success as a blogger who took photos of fashionable and stylish folk he saw on the street.  And at about the same time, I realised that I was no longer that keen on dressing like a teenager.  I became (and still am) fascinated by older ladies who dress with style and aplomb.  And wanted to start a Sartorialist for all those I spotted.  As it happened I am not a photographer, nor am I someone who acts on all my ideas (more to the point) and it never really went beyond me thinking about it, keeping my eye out for cool old ladies and trying to think up a name for for my imaginary blog.  Anyway, there is one.  Its called Advanced Style and they are using kick starter to fund their documentary about the amazing ladies they came across.  Of course in New York City.  And they are pretty out there.  But I love it never the less.  When I am old...... I think I might want to weather feathery falsh eyelashes??  Perhaps my interest was not to look quite so extremely fashionable as these ladies, but I still keep an eye for a stylish way to head into old age.  Beige I shall never wear, but big costume jewellery is definitely happening.  And I am already making liberal use of the interesting scarf. 

Rock on.
