I Spy ... Experience

You've all heard it before, "with age comes experience." According to fashion blogger Ari Seth Cohen though, "with age, comes style." In the world of fashion and entertainment, the golden years are experiencing their well-deserved moment in the spotlight.

Cohen's blog: advancedstyle.blogspot.com is, if you will, a more "mature" take on the ever popular Sartorialist blog written by Scott Schuman. Advanced style features the street fashion of the 50-plus set with a preferred focus on those in their 70s, 80s and 90s. Trust me; you've GOT to check it out. Even if you don't get a buzz from the amazing style that these grey-haired fashionistas have been cultivating for years, you can't help but smile at how adorable they are! Honestly, the characters depicted will leave you inspired and without the intimidation you sometimes feel when looking at the 17 year old, unsmiling, waifs of other fashion blogs.

But don't take my word for it. Look at what's going on in Hollywood at the moment.

Betty White is so hot right now, a successful Facebook campaign was launched to land the 88-year-old on Saturday Night Live. Europe, the fashion capitol of the world, is also embracing the trend. In Paris, the club kids are dancing to beats supplied by a 69-year-old DJ named Ruth Flowers. As the Globe Life Style section announced a few weeks ago, "the new face of trendsetting is decidedly wrinkled."

So don't complain and resort to sulking when your parents drag you to Easter dinner at Grandma's this weekend, but see it as an opportunity to further develop your personal style.

Granny's bridge group might be the hottest thing in fashion this week.
