Sophie Fontanelle once wrote for ELLE magazine and served as its fashion director. Now she often shares her clothes on ins and writes a column in New Observer magazine to express her views on the fashion circle. She is outspoken, rich in words and sentences, fond of one-liners and full of sense of humor, which always resonates with women all over the world, and her published articles always make readers want to stop.
In the book Beauty of Paris: I am myself, Jenny Damace shared a beautiful story of her natural aging. I tried to find Jenny's introduction to her age. She should be very old when her hair is half white, but I didn't find it. Maybe Jenny deliberately didn't write down her age. Yes, age really doesn't matter to Parisian women.
Sophie has been practicing a plan: don't dye your hair, let white hair slowly replace black hair, and finally have a white hair.
In this process, we have to endure all stages from black hair to white hair, and we have to deal with other people's gossip. A fashion week stylist once said to Sophie, "You know, men never like white hair." Sophie immediately replied, "When do men know what they like?" Well done. What does it have to do with Sophie that men don't like white hair? Sophie accepted her natural aging process frankly. It's cool that she has white hair! Why do women cater to men and become what men like?
Now it seems that Sophie has realized her wish. In the latest photos released by ins, she already has white hair, while in the photos of Jenny's book, half of her hair is black.
Sophie believes that a woman's vitality is not limited to her young years. In the process of getting old, she can still live a modern and attractive life without plastic surgery.
It is a natural law that every woman will get old, but many of us don't want to admit it. We always try to dress younger. Act young uses micro-plastic surgery or makeup to cover up his wrinkles. The most important thing is that we no longer believe that we can do what we like and achieve something.
In fact, this is a sign of self-distrust. Of course, it also lies in the harshness of this society to women. The older a man is, the more attractive he is, and he is affectionately called "uncle", while a woman is classified as aunt when she is old. If women abandon themselves and cater to social standards, they will no longer have freedom and freedom.
Getting old is not terrible, the key is how we face it.
There are many elderly women who think they are rich in life experience, and like to point fingers at the lives of young people under the banner of being good for others, and even directly intervene in their own affairs. Please spare yourself and young people, even if you are right, young people will not believe you, but will only think you are verbose, and they will always believe in their own personal experience. Let them roll in the big waves of life! They all have their due life experiences. Of course, if they take the initiative to seek your advice, you can certainly teach a thing or two.
In fact, think about it, life always leads to the same goal, no matter how brilliant and down-and-out, it will eventually go to the grave. So what can't be let go? So I must do what I like while I still have some time to live, even if I stay in bed, so what?
Sophie Toyoda doesn't set an alarm clock in the morning and likes to stay in bed, but that doesn't mean she is lazy or doesn't mean she doesn't work hard. She just knows how to enjoy life and not let herself be influenced by outside opinions.
Some time ago, an old man died of a heart attack while on a business trip in other places. He is worth hundreds of millions. He is usually busy with work and suffers from high blood pressure. He never took the initiative to exercise and climbed several floors without stopping breathing. Such sudden death is hard for family members to accept and makes people feel the fragility and impermanence of life.
I don't know when we started, we are always anxious, anxious that we are not young, that we have no success, that we have no money, and that our children have not done their homework well. Let go of these anxieties Calm down! Be brave to be yourself!
