Where Does a Woman Over 60 Find Style Inspiration? Right Here!

The color Pink is a feminine, nurturing color that projects love, warmth and sexuality.   Pale pink comes from the summer color palette, and adding it to animal prints (the traditional mating call of the fall fashion season) is a brilliant way to transition to autumn.  It’s unexpected, and it works! 

I’ve selected a few of my favorites, which, you can be sure, I will be checking out at my local Talbots post haste.
