Fashion advice from a glamourous 78-year-old woman.

Just saw this video on the Advanced Style blog (a street style blog, but for older fashion lovers). Thought some of you might enjoy Lynn Dell's perspective.

There's more of Lynn on the blog, but here is a bunch of photos of her style.

"Fashion says 'me too' - Style says 'only me.'"

Amazing!

She is so inspiring

"Fashion says 'me too' - Style says 'only me.'"

Amazing!

My thoughts exactly. She is beyond fashion - she's pure style, and she looks like she's having a great time. I also like that the blogger, Ari Seth Cohen, is rather young and hip and that he has no age bias in finding stylish people.

I love her line, "I dress up for the theatre of my life." She is inspiring!

I want her head hugging leopard hat with the dyed ostrich feathers on the side, and that matching leopard muff!

Didn't she say "I dress up for the theater every day of my life"?
(Obviously, I know she doesn't really mean she goes to the theater every day... just that she likes to dress neat and glamorous.)
I saw the video a few months ago and don't have a chance of replaying it right now (husband's watching something, and I don't want to disturb him - haha), so I could be wrong! Either way a good quote IMO!

I adore the Advanced Style blog so very much; strange, as I'm 19, but I find those ladies so much more fun and inspirational than any other contemporary fashion site. There's a documentary coming out this summer I gather, so exciting! The trailer is also a goldmine of brilliant quotes....

Ohmygoodnessgraciousme, I absolutely LOOOVE this trailer!! What GREAT words of wisdom! I love the lady that says- "I don't dress for other people, I dress for myself. If someone doesn't like what I am wearing, I don't give a sh*t."

My new blog!

just spent some time going through the blog- fantastic! I'm hooked, and will probably get his book when it comes out in May.

Thanks for posting this link, Rodeo Rose. I just love these ageless beauties and look forward to this documentary. Sadly, I recognized the photo of this striking woman in the attached story, Zelda Kaplan (she's 38-seconds into the video, wearing a black and red outfit and matching hat) in today's news. Fabulous at 95, she died yesterday during NY's fashion week, while watching one of the runway shows. Such a memorable face and style from just a couple of viewings of that clip. RIP.
