Capsule wardrobe blogs​

  • When: Every three months (It’s never too late to start so join in anytime!)
  • What: 33 items including clothing, accessories, jewelry, outerwear and shoes.
  • What not: these items are not counted as part of the 33 items – wedding ring or another sentimental piece of jewelry that you never take off, underwear, sleep wear, in-home lounge wear,  and workout clothing (but your workout clothes have to workout).
  • How: Choose your 33 items, box up the remainder of your fashion statement, seal it with tape and put it out of sight.
The Vivienne Files is a unique personal style blog with carefully-selected capsule wardrobes based on color palettes drawn from works of art, nature, and more. It helps women buy less clothing, and to love what they buy.

Join the conversation in the comments section.When I started Chicatanyage there was very little advice on fashion, style and beauty available on the internet for our age group. This situation is changing..."

​Another British blogger, Alyson Walsh, explains her reason for beginning her blog:
"It’s not about age, it’s about style. And this is for every woman who refuses to be invisible. 
I’m a freelance journalist, former magazine fashion editor and author. That’s Not My Age began in 2008, when I noticed a space online to celebrate women (and men) of all ages."
​This well known web site was the subject of a wonderful 2014 documentary.

Ari Seth Cohen is the blogger/photographer who obviously adores his over 60 ladies.

Although some of the outfits are a little far-out for my taste, he does feature the toujours chic Linda Rodin.
