Another Birthday

259.  That's my age in dog years or........

Last year on my birthday I wrote a post:    Are You Too Old For Vintage? Iwrote it because I had read several articles claiming that vintage style is best left too the very young.  Obviously I don't agree. I didn't have the confidence to wear full on vintage when I was in my 20s Because I cared too much what people thought.   Now:

In fact the older I get in some ways, at least in my mind if not my face and body, the younger I feel. I still like the same stuff  I did as a kid and a teenager.   I guess if I haven't matured yet I'm not going too and that's ok!

Case in point: when I was  a little girl I loved making and wearing flower crowns. Sadly I have no pictures of my childhood creations. This year I got a flower crown made if vintage millinery flowers from Etsy shop Chatter Blossom and discovered that more then 20 years later I still love wearing flower crowns.

I guess somethings never change.  Regardless Of how you feel about clothes I think there is basically only one style, and beauty,  rule worth following: Dogs don't care how old you are or what your wearing and neither do the people who are worth your time. 

Norbert and his Dad

Our big guy is really starting to show his age lately.  Increased stiffness, more accidents at night, and all the other tough parts of old age.  The good news is he is still eating well and basically most of his complaints are a result of being 12 years old.  We love our big guy and hope to have a good bit more time with him.   Old age isn't for sissies and neither is watching our dog's age.
