Book Review: How Not to Look Old

by Charla Krupp

I recommend this selection with some misgivings.  The tips are sound and the theory is legitimate, but Fräulein Krupp
violates Cardigan Empire Code. 


Let's imagine a canonical closer alignment, shall we?  First a retitling, "How Not to Look Irrelevant".  For age is NOT a negative attribute.  

Someday I hope to have an undeniably modern cut of entirely white and silver hair. I enjoy the smile lines around my eyes, and although I could do without the worry lines between my eyebrows, it's a visual teacher.


And are the labels young and hip truly complimentary?  They seem so trifling and transitory.  Being fresh and relevant, ensures you are connecting with the present.  Living until you die, consistently changing, learning, and evolving. 

So now you can enjoy this book with a CE disclaimer.  I do own it, it is useful.  Keep the supporting tactics, loose the underlying thesis.

Procure a book customized to your own fashion journey in a personalized fashion look book.

  5. Only those of us who have reached middle/old age can really appreciate a book like this. It easy to think that growing old is easy - until you are there and wondering how to make a graceful transition into "Act Two" of ones life. Having a guide like this is a welcomed friend to share the journey with.
