J. Crew's new catalog arrived and I was psyched to see that 67-year-old Lauren Hutton is in it once again. All wrinkly and gorgeous. The conversation is changing. Excellent marketing. Not only this, but Ms. Hutton gives fashion advice on their website.
Two of my favorite bits of advice, besides the one below, are:
- Fashion is what you're offered four times a year. Style is what you pick out of that fashion. It's what you make of it once you've learned what to accept and what to ignore based on what suits you.
- Lavender is the unsung hero of hues. It brings out the warmth in most skin tones and lights up all eyes. Plus it adds a touch of cheer. Optimistic colors are always a good idea-especially in January.
I think I'll go put on my grandmother's lavender lambswool cardigan that I've had since she died in 1982 and love so much :-)
I leave you with my favorite Lauren Hutton quote:
We have to be able to grow up. Our wrinkles are our medals of the passage of life. They are what we have been through and who we want to be. I don`t think I will ever cut my face, because once I cut it, I`ll never know where I've been. ~ Ms. Lauren Hutton
