Just last week, Gail of Is This Mutton? published a post, Every Day Outfits-Casual and Work, where she shared a super cool look featuring a Bowie tee shirt paired with all black and a fun pair of statement boots. As soon as I saw her Bowie tee shirt, I was reminded of a similar one that I had forgotten about and had never worn yet. So I took Gail’s post as a sign that I needed to get on styling with my Bowie tee shirt.

I mean, who doesn’t love David Bowie? I am pretty sure just the mention of this man’s name or hearing a few chords of any of his multitude of billboard charting songs, can send anyone who knows anything about music into a silent revelry over some fond memory that includes a reference to Bowie and/or his music in one way or another. Being one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century, it is no surprise that two women over 40 living in different parts of the world would be big enough Bowie fans to be rocking out tee shirts that pay tribute to his legacy.

But this post isn’t about David Bowie. It’s actually about my paying tribute to Gail. If you don’t know Gail, you should get to know her! She is a UK-based blogger living in London where she is making great strides in blazing the way for women over 50 to own their style and wear whatever makes them feel great. Gail is the perfect representation of her very own beliefs about women over 50. She is ”vital, energetic and fashionable, and blessed with wisdom and experience.” And she has some serious shoe game that leaves me ripe with desire to just borrow her boot collection!

Gail likes to dip her toes into the latest fashion trends while combining them with styles that suit her personality and the end result is a wonderfully vibrant and eclectic collection of outfits that inspires me on a weekly basis. With a fondness for bold prints and bright colors, my eyes are never disappointed when I pop on over to see what’s going down in London. She also shares lots of fun tidbits about her life as a digital marketer as well as interesting books, television shows, and podcasts she has discovered in her daily living.

Always with a smile and a whole bunch of confidence, Gail delivers a weekly menu of fun fashion and make up tips that not only appeal to her own generation of women over 50, but us younger ones (although I am not that much younger…50 is fast approaching for me) are more than willing to follow her lead.
