It’s my favorite time of the month. Elizabeth (the Vintage Contessa) and I are interviewing someone with great style over 50 for our Ageless Style Series. This month I am interviewing the delightful Brenda from the popular blog 1010 Park Place. Brenda’s blog is filled with energizing advice, motivating interviews with other inspiring women over 50, and straight talk about health, beauty, and aging gracefully. It is a landing pad for women over 50 who want to be the best they can be at any age. I hope you love Brenda’s sassy style as much as I do.
I am in love with his blog. I am going to study it! Thank you so much
Great style post. Brenda reminds me of “Diane” from The Good Fight (previously, The Good Wife). So classy. I love the variety of looks, Brenda shows herself in.
I agree Lisa what a great comparison. Brenda is an inspiration to all of us over the age of 50 and beyond!!
She has great taste doesn’t she? And she is full of spunk…I love that!!
I love Brenda’s all black outfit with the brown booties and great necklace…and what fabulous hair! Very fun post!
Brenda I love all your ‘snippets’ and want more. I love your style your writings about your holidays, your home…everything…waiting for that book too.
Hilda thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. I am so glad you enjoyed Brenda’s interview!
Lots to think about here.
My closet needs serious attention!
Hi Michelle
My closet needs attention as well. I hope Brenda gave you some inspiration. I love her style!
Thank you, Cindy, for featuring me on your blog! I enjoyed answering your Q&A. It’s always fun and interesting to read what other women have to say about clothes and get an insight into their lives. I loved the Contessa’s comment about black DENIM! She’s funny and adorable! And about me writing a book… There’s rarely been a week in the last 30 years I haven’t thought about it. Books are all consuming, not just time wise but mentally and emotionally. We’ll see… Thank you, again to you and your readers! xoxox, Brenda
GOOD!
I cannot wait for our discussion in PERSON!!!!!!!

We shall chat when you get back from the tropics!!
Hi Brenda
I have been out of the loop at a bloggers conference, so just had time to check in. I think everyone thoroughly enjoyed your style, wit, and spunk! And everyone is waiting for the book!!
Fabulous, Brenda. Please write the book!
The women you showcase in this series are so inspiring. I love reading about their lives and adventures and how their personal style has evolved. I agree, Brenda PLEASE write that book!

Gail
Hi Gail I am so glad you enjoy the series. It is always a challenge to find women my age that are embracing their age and have great style!
Cindy,
This is such a fun series. I enjoy seeing how others, over 50, wear fashion. I confess, as a Southern California girl, your style is still my favorite. The casual yet pulled together style you wear, always looks so fresh and wonderful.

Cindy love this series! So fun to read about Brenda and her style. She really does have the Rene Russo look about her. I am intrigued to know more about her adventures! I enjoyed reading how she has developed her style and stuck with it. People who can do that always look amazing. I especially liked her leather pants look! Again another great person to know better. Love it! Have a great week Cindy. xo Kim
