If you’re interested in fashion–well, some of us are and some of us aren’t–you must, absolutely must, darling, see the August issue of Vogue.  That is, as in the past, their so-called Age Issue, when they feature women and fashion from every decade from twenty through eighty.  I love that.  Unlike other magazines, they really do acknowledge that their readership has birthdays.  And probably because so many of the top editors are midLife women, they don’t ignore us; they speak directly to us.  Even more this year, since they’re calling it “The Age(less) Issue,” which is “Vogue‘s Guide to Looking Amazing at Every Decade on Any Budget Through Every Season.”

And because woman cannot live by fashion alone, here’s a thought for you:  we often talk, complain even,  as midlifers, about what we don’t have, how we’re not seen, why we feel passed over or by.  Yes, true.  But shouldn’t we also be talking, and supporting, those entities that are not rendering us silent and out of sight?  Shouldn’t we be, in all things midlife, be focusing on what we have, rather than what we’re missing?

Just a thought….
