Living Her Next Phase
Somewhere around 50, a lot of women start talking as though life is wrapping up. They stop imagining what's next. They start saying things like "I'll just ride this out," I don't want to start over," or "I've already made my friends." The truth is they're way too young for that.

A woman's personal style is forever evolving. Life experiences and circumstances can affect her approach to style. Weight gain or weight loss, pregnancies, age and time, can introduce changes to her body, which in turn affect the clothing she purchases, how she styles herself and how the selected clothing drapes her body. These factors can contribute to her confidence level.
