Today I bought:
A hot pink military style winter jacket
Deep purple sparkly eyeliner
Plum lipstick a-La Wednesday Addams
My own personal fight back against both the current trend for bland neutral colours and the idea that women over fifty should be wearing bland neutral colours. The world is going to hell in a hand basket and I demand my right to sparkle darkly throughout it.

@michellebirkby Tis the season for my brain to add a musical number and the ending 'and a partridge in a pear tree' to lists. Be the spectacular change you want to see in the world!

@michellebirkby Cheering you on, here. It's amazing how many people admire my colourful clothes while wearing black. The remedy is in their hands, after all!

@michellebirkby Go for it! After my husband died, I colored my hair pink. I've gone purple. And a cherry cola reddish brown too. I refuse to wear boring colors.
We over 50s need to SHINE 😍
