CITIZEN SPOTLIGHT: Bloggers Over 40

You are not invisible-YOU are beautiful

Last February, I post a blogroll about 20 in number.  You see, I'd been blogging for a couple of years and felt the "odd man out," being almost twice the age as many of my fellow blogger buddies. I wanted to see if there were any other fashion bloggers out there who were like me, over the age of forty. They seemed few and far between, and few were aware of any others. But I knew they were out there, gathered up a list, and I posted it.

I almost didn't bother to post it. It would have been easier to just put the roll on my sidebar. I didn't think many people aside from me, Reva, Sacramento and Pam L would be interested.

Turned out, I was wrong. Turned out, there were lots of bloggers who were interested. Some of them over 40. Some of them under 40. All of them craving to see real women all of ages bravely show off their style.  Bloggers who were over 40 added their blogs in the comments, and I kept adding their names to the blog-roll. To this date, that post on +40 bloggers has gotten over 10000 hits. And every day, it gets around 100 more. 

The post was updated so many times that I decided to give the +40 blogroll a PAGE of its own, and that original list of 20 bloggers, have grown into a (still growing) list of well over 100. That's one hundred women (and some men) who do outfit posts, who write about fashion, who are actively online and seriously know how throw down some serious style. 

I feel good. 

So, I've decided to go a bit further. I've also decided 

 
to highlight my favorite 40, 50 and 60 year old folks with a monthly + 40 blogger spotlight post. There will still be the monthly updated blogroll, but I'm also going to share with you, my view on the best of the best of the over forty crowd. Which is probably YOU. 

Two of my sponsors this month are +40 style bloggers. They are: 

Susan Tiner explores self expression, personal style and craft on Style Made By Hand

Heather Fonseca is a doll designer who also blogs over at The Style Confessions

If you know, or are a fashion/style blogger who is over the age of forty, please leave a comment with your name, the blog's name and its url. And be sure to check out the freshly update + 40 Blogroll HERE.
