80 years old may be far away for us, but for time, it is close at hand.
Time is quietly passing, the years are sneaking away, and each of us can't avoid the "getting old" thing. But many people are very resistant when they mention "old", one is that they can't accept wrinkles, white hair, and out-of-shape, and the other is that they feel that old is in a sense to lose their expectations for life, day after day, waiting for the final verdict.
But is "old" really a terrible thing?
I remember that in Haruki Murakami's essay, there is a sentence like this: "I think that increasing age is regarded as a process of gradually losing various things, or as a process of accumulating various things, but I am afraid that the quality of life will be mostly the same." ”
It is true that we will lose a lot in the process of getting old, but what is not a reward for the story, tenderness and elegance that age gives us?
And those who face the matter of getting older calmly, they know how to turn years into paintbrushes and portray wonderful things before the end of life.
For example, an 80-year-old Japanese grandmother we are going to introduce to you in this issue: Junko Shimada.
Even if she is full of white hair and wrinkles, she also explains to everyone with practical actions: without fear of age, the elderly can be beautiful and beautiful!
Let's take a look at the story of this grandmother and her:
In this era of "beauty is justice", everyone wants to create a perfect image, body, appearance、...... It's all perfect. And we are not so much afraid of getting old, but rather afraid of facing the wrinkled face, full of white hair, and the old dragon clock.
However, life is not perfect, and it is impossible to shape a perfect life, rather than entangled, it is better to accept.
One of the big reasons Grandma Shimada is loved by everyone is that it is real.
She did not have a good face and a perfect figure, but an ordinary grandmother with ordinary looks, ordinary figures, and traces of age. Wrinkles, gray hair, bloated... She has all these things that happen to ordinary people.
But she did not escape, but accepted it calmly, because she did not care about age, so she could still be beautiful at the age of 80.
As the saying goes: I'm not perfect, perfect how pale, I'm perfect, perfect has become myself.
Accept yourself that imperfection is perfection.
As the British writer Maugham said: "There are no ugly women in the world, only women who do not know how to make themselves look beautiful and moving." ”
Women's beauty and charm are given by themselves. Like Grandma Shimada, even if she doesn't go out, she will dress herself up seriously; when she is at home alone, she will draw a delicate makeup; even if she is 80 years old, she will still wear high heels...
Of course, the exquisite life is not high, do not eat human fireworks, exquisite life is more of a non-will attitude to life, can not wear makeup, but must paint a lipstick; you can not wear a fashionable style, but must be seriously dressed.
While living seriously, don't forget to keep your love for life. Grandma Shimada has worked in the clothing industry for more than 40 years, and the design drawings that have passed through her hands are uncountable, but she always maintains a kind of anticipation and hot pillow, always feeling that the next time will be better than this time.
This mentality of expecting better has allowed her to maintain her love of work and life, and this is the secret of her charm even at the age of 80.
Who says fashion is exclusive to young people?
In the eyes of many people, when people are old, they have nothing to do with fashion, and they should conform to the public concept and give up those beautiful clothes. But I would say that everyone has the right to pursue beauty, and in the world of beauty and fashion, everyone is equal.
Grandma Shimada's grandmother is very elegant and confident, not restricted by age, and has her own unique dressing concept.
She often abandons the traditional concept of dressing, and does not feel that she should wear what she wants at any age, but naturally and freely wears what she likes.
As for wearing, she also said: "No matter how old a woman is, she must give people a little cuteness, a little fresh feeling." The clothes should not be too formal, too perfect, but find a place to 'break' it."
Although there is nothing wrong with regular dressing, it will always give people a boring feeling. So find a point where breaking with this routine and adding something new can make dress more fun.
For example, wearing a more formal suit, with a large belt, can not only break the stereotype of the suit, but also add highlights to the dress.
However, it should be noted that the wide belt is very visually attractive, and it is not very friendly for women with small bellies, which will expose the characteristics of the body shape, and it will be more friendly to choose a belt with a smaller sense of existence.
A smarter approach is to shift your gaze to other places with advantages, such as choosing puff sleeves with a sense of design, or bright shoes, and shifting your gaze to these places that are not painful or have advantages.
Like Grandma Shimada, her upper body is more fleshy, but her legs are thin, so many of her outfits will focus on the lower body, such as choosing loose leather pants with a mangy pattern:
Or, alternatively, wear a printed skirt:
For middle-aged women who are slightly fat, they want to wear flowers but at the same time want to be thin, then in the matching of clothing, we must pay attention to the "upper body foundation + lower body fashionable" wearing is appropriate, which can be a good way to avoid weaknesses and cover up the shortcomings of the body. And note that the lower body is a fashionable style, it is best to choose more inclusive wide-leg pants or skirts.
In the matching of colors, Grandma Shimada Shunko will also use the echo of colors, such as the same color wear:
Red knitwear + red skirt + red shoes: the whole body is red, consistent in color, and has a wonderful aura. The combination of red and red is elegant and not vulgar.
But remember, for the whole body of the same color, the use of black and white to make a transition, will set off the color more pure, and will not appear too single.
Or in the case of a full body foundation, choosing shoes and bags of the same color, the two echo each other is also a major attraction.
Write at the end:
Leonard Cohen once said: "I am old, in a hundred ways, but my heart is young, it is still playing, the theme of love, the theme of death".
Each of us has an older day, but at all times, your heart has to be young.
Cherish the time, live every day well, grow old gracefully like a grandmother...
