Visible Monday! Have a Look At Us, Will Ya?

We started writing and thinking about invisibility over the last month or so: for example, here, here and here, and reading external articles like this one, and this scary one (Anne alerted us!).

We decided we didn't care for it. Invisibility, I mean.

So here we are, waving our flags, tossing our manes and tooting our horns. Women of a certain age (the age does not matter), who have been pushed to the sidelines by the mainstream fashion media, are announcing our manifesto: invisible no more.

We have agreed: we're already confident about our varied accomplishments, and we sure don't want to forfeit any of that cool wisdom stuff we've acquired. We just enjoy being appreciated for the physical, aesthetic beings we are, as well as the brainy, thoughtful ones.

Every day, and today in particular, we're putting the spotlight on hot fashion, confident style, and the awesome women of the blogosphere. Ok, I'm not really all those things, but I'll start anyway. Here's my first VM pics:

Striped sweater: Consignment, no tag!, Skirt: Limited, Shoes: Nine West
Pearls: Consignment, Favorite Owl: eBay

I love stripes, just love 'em. I added my chunky faux pearls today, in honor of VM. Mr. Owl is a regular feature who always makes me smile. My high wedges make me walk with with a little more attitude. And now I see my skirt is a bit sheer, oops. More meaning to Visible Monday than I had planned.

P.S.
Being VM and all, I should have included my head-parts. I am still fighting a cold, and had not done any beautifying. So, I slicked on some gloss and added the head. Visible me, lack-of-hairdo notwithstanding:
