Advanced style

Have you heard of this blog, Advanced Style? It is the Senior citizens answer to the Sartorialist, (photo'd by a youngster of course) and I love it. Check out 98 year old rose's style tips:

1. Find your perfect perfume, people will remember you by your scent. Rose is known for her Pauline Trigere fragrance.She tells her granddaughter "I'll give you anything in the world, but I won't give you my perfume."
2. Belts and Beads. Rose believes that a belt or unique strand of beads can really make an outfit and they don't have to cost a fortune.
3. Take care of your feet and wear good shoes, but when you are going out for a night on the town "Fashion comes before comfort" At 98, Rose goes out every single night!
4. "Walking is a must, its better than doctors or medicine"
5. No need to use expensive moisturizers, Rose swears by Oil of Olay which she has been using for decades.
6. "Inexpensive lipstick is as good as expensive, only better!" Rose has tried every brand from Chanel to Lauder and has recently been turned on to Revlon.
7. Be Unique: "If Everyone is wearing it, then its not for me"
8. "Be smart enough to know what you don't know"
9. If you have trouble reading the dinner menu, Lorgnettes are a fashionable and elegant alternative to reading glasses
10. "Be Happy, enjoy what you have at every moment!"
