With many fashion publications falling by the wayside, InStyle magazine is celebrating 25 years. Congratulations. And guess what? I get to commemorate, too. Why? According to InStyle Magazine, I’m no shrinking violet. Find me in the Real Style section on page 72.
This celebrity-inspired section allows readers to test-drive the trends from the Instyle pages. My floral frock inspiration comes from Alexa Chung’s Gucci and Judy Greer Reema Acra outfits.
I appreciate the term used to describe my floral dress, not a shrinking violet. As a woman of a certain age, I don’t usually see fashion magazines highlighting women as energetic and vibrant—the celebrities, yes, but the everyday girl, no.
Thank you, Instyle magazine, for including me in your September 25th Anniversary Real Style. Be inspired, ladies, and show your style, especially if one of the InStyle stories propels you to try a new fashion, beauty, or home idea. Send a pic (300 dpi or larger) of your transformation to letters@instylemagazine.com.
As always, thank you for reading. Have a fabulous week.
