I decided to look into one of the many choices we have in fashion this fall and winter. In the process, I have formed a little guide that can be used as an inspiration to create outfits for any age with touches of punk futurism now.
It takes courage to dare to wear something new and different from what we’re used to. On the other hand, it takes guts to wear something we wore in the past once we get older.

This post is for women who want to do just that…and for women who want to take their look into the future a bit…and for women who have some punk rebel in them…and for women who love to wear black (is that all of us?)
Go ahead. Show your true self. And remember, age doesn’t matter!
