W, W, W, W, W & H— Explained

WHO: I was born a distinctly pre-Beatles Michelle on July 23, 1942. You do the math.

WHAT: Allways in Fashion is a little riff on always being fashionable, in all ways— despite your age for sure. Notice there is a little "sin" in there. No blogs seem to address those nagging questions: "Is it okay to read "Lucky" at age 69?", "If it still fits me why can't I wear it?", "Just because I remember before there was tv, do I have to start wearing that?" These questions bother me more than the one I hear most frequently at the lovely upscale boutique where I work: "Am I too old for this?"

WHERE: Here. I'm not going to Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook or App you. I'm not going to get into fancy graphics either. That is a slippery slope for a former professional graphic designer.

WHEN: I'm starting now because I am under house arrest awaiting foot surgery when my shingles-of-the-face-and-eye clears up. I am indeed wearing my Halloween mask. I will write when I can and hope you will read when you can.

WHY: Like many Leos and recipients of Girl Scout Author badges, I like to share my thoughts and think I may finally have absorbed, observed and percolated enough to send them out.

HOW: I am a one-finger typist. Mother said, "Never learn to type so you won't become a secretary." She was a great typist, and a very smart lady.

  1. Michelle--I love this blog! I'm looking forward to following you and your always stylish advice. I think I was channeling you recently when I bought a very expensive handbag that--against all my instincts--Was Not Black. Shock! But every time I pick it up, it thrills me, and I've decided burnt orange goes with everything.
