I left my job to work on blogging from home about two years ago. During that time, I have put a lot of time and effort into producing blog posts. I research, distill each style concept, and link as many photos as possible to stores where you can get the styles I am talking about. I target the styles that I think women over 60 would like and be willing to wear.
However, age doesn’t matter. Styles and trends are available to all of us to wear as we like. It’s up to you to choose your favorite styles and choose what you love and what looks good on you. Don’t let anyone or any media tell you that you can’t wear this or that after a certain age.

I am grateful for the way Your True Self Blog has grown over the past year, and at the end of this post I am sharing the links to the top ten posts of 2018. I hope you will visit and enjoy them! Continue Reading
For almost three years now, my son Chris and I have been making health goals together every month. Although we are from different generations, age doesn’t matter when it comes to health. We have the same goals of good dietary choices, exercise, sleep and such. These habits create lifelong health.
Since Chris and I started to share monthly health goals with each other, we’ve improved our lifestyle. In 2017, we got to the point where we were both down to our ideal weight, improved our eating habits, and developed exercise routines that worked for us.
In 2018, we were humming along very well, until October. At that time, we became deterred by time, weather, sickness, and then the holiday season.
Now that a new year is beginning, Chris and I are reviewing last year’s goals and planning new goals, picking up from where we left off. Our last goals were to try to get back our previously good habits of exercising regularly and eating foods that are good for us. Continue Reading
Tis the time to make goals for the new year coming! Goals for the new year include many areas of our life. The common areas we usually think of are health, money and work, relationships, community service and shedding bad habits. Age doesn’t matter. Life is a constant process of growth and self-improvement.
I never thought about creating style goals until I read Angie Cox’s blog You Look Fab. Inspired by Angie, I made a list of style goals the last two years. You might like to make some style goals of your own, if you don’t already.
These are some of my style goals, past and future:
A bit of sparkle comes in many forms: jewelry, embellishment with sequins or crystals, metallics, etc. Age doesn’t matter because your true self sparkles and shines, too! Today, I’m sharing a formula showing how to sparkle and shine in a metallic top. I’d like to encourage you to think outside of the box as well. You can wear a metallic top any day of the season as part of your usual casual outfit. And it’s a good piece to wear for virtual get-togethers!
I wore my gold Lurex sweater tunic quite a few times in Christmases past — from the extended family celebration to around the office during the holiday season to holiday brunch with friends. The last time I wore it, co-workers told me it looked so comfy, and it was!
