Whoa, it's busy online this week. Grown-up style is getting loads of attention. First Buzzfeed posted a feature on the 15 Amazing Senior Style Instagrammers You Should Follow Right Now, lots of inspirational women including Linda Rodin, Judith from Style Crone and several other wonderful Advanced Stylistas. Then before you could say 'Old Lady Revolution', I was up there with the best of them as fashion website Motilo's favourite Instagrammer:
There was even a How To Get Alyson Walsh's Style page, where the most excellent choices were spookily spot on. In this photo I'm wearing Toast's Ryo leather jacket, £445, made in Italy and available HERE. The scarf isn't available yet but a good alternative is the Dosa Shuktara scarf for
J. Crew, £210, available HERE.
And last but not least, Good Housekeeping included That's Not My Age in their 10 best fashion blogs for grown-ups. That's the first time I've made one of those 'Best Of' lists, and I'm flattered to be in such good company. Just giving myself a pat on the back...
Power to the older people.
Great news - well done!
ReplyDeleteHi Alyson,
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, it really is very inspiring!!! We love the style of one of the Australian instagrammers mentioned in that article - Lesleyhasmanyhats and had a great time photographing her at Bondi Beach wearing our designs -

If you are ever coming our way please say hi - we love what you do!

Well done! A fantastic achievement. I totally love your look here and the jacket is wonderful! What colour is yours and will it come in other colours at all? I'm so pleased to see a jacket that doesn't have a million tabs/zips and require 10 inches taken off the sleeves.
ReplyDeleteAnd the hits keep on coming...way to go. I like your blog as you eschew the old lady clown look.
ReplyDeleteWith all due respect to the other 'winners', your blog, IMHO, is the best. You are real, not clowning around.
ReplyDeleteBravo to you.
Bravo!!
ReplyDeleteThought Linda was Madonna for a moment......wouldn't it be brilliant if she could grow old as fabulously!!!!
Bravo and well deserved!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and well deserved! We older broads are taking over, inch by inch. xo
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. What month are you in GH plse?

ReplyDeleteWell they all look like clowns. Really,why is it these older women instagrammers insist on goofy color combinations,and unflattering outfits? It's like they're playing out their dress up fantasies when they were 5 years old.
ReplyDeleteI prefer your style my dear.
Cute pic AW and congrats! However GSL is here to help step up your game...as you've yet to recover from that 'bowling shoes' feature misstep.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see you get the recognition. Your blog is real. Your clothes are ones that mature women will wear, unlike some others that are going for the attention grabbing, rather ridiculous look. Your blog is the only one I follow faithfully.
ReplyDeleteLove the jacket and scarf. I find the price a little too pricey for a scarf though. Is it possible to offer a less expensive version of the clothes you wear?
Yayyy to fashion for ladies of a certain age!

Congrats Alyson! Love your blog. Will check out some of those others too. Fun that they did the get your style piece. Great jacket.

Wow, EXCELLENT! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic Alyson! Well deserved!
ReplyDeleteI must agree with the others: your blog is the only one I follow for down-to-earth style, but I especially love your ability to laugh at yourself, in a good natured way.

Ditto. Well deserved. Also agree with Beyond Beige, style blogs should show style that we can actually wear. We've got fashion mags like Vogue and the runway for the fantasy stuff.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Way to represent the "Silver Spend:)" Seriously, congratulations.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Alyson, on your well deserved honors. And thank you for the mention. I was surprised and thrilled to be in such amazing company on the Buzzfeed list. Yes, power to the older people!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! This is all very well-deserved attention. Hope you don't forget that we know you when . . . ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm just surprised you weren't on those lists long ago.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for all your lovely comments, they are very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteJoanne - let me have a look at less expensive scarves. Have you checked out Ines de la Fressange at Uniqlo?
Congratulations!! It's so awesome!
ReplyDeleteAhhh ... the times they are a changin' for all of us!
ReplyDeleteBloody well deserved Alyson!
