How have you changed since you were 32? Stacy London, the 54-year-old author, stylist and TV personality, is loving her current self rather than dwelling on her youth.
As midlife women in a youth-obsessed culture, it can be easy to focus on how our bodies have changed over the years, rather than celebrating our wisdom and the well-earned laugh lines that add joy and character to our faces.
I love what London had to say in one Style Like U interview: “What are we doing with this next 40 years? I don’t need to be who I was when I was 32, I need to be who I am. There’s no such thing as aging gracefully and there’s no graceful or ungraceful way to do, you just do it. I don’t want to be one of those people who’s like, oh you’re 50, you have to cut your hair short. I’m the person who used to be like, that’s not age appropriate. And now, I’m like, fuck those rules! There’s something about not playing small in a world that always makes you feel that way, that is an act of bravery and beauty.”
