To the beautiful woman in the coffeeshop this morning:
I noticed you right away. Just last night, I was blabbing once again about how I think laugh lines are the most attractive feature in either a man or a woman, because one obtains them not from genetics, but from living a good life. Laugh lines are the mark of a person who knows how to live well. You had great laugh lines. You also had shiny gray hair in a chic, stylish cut, and neat clothing, and were wearing lipstick.
I thought to myself, waiting in line for my coffee (large, room for cream), that you were exactly the type of older woman I'd see and admire on the Sartorialist's blog, those fabulous older women who are so stylish and wonderful. And here you were, right in my coffeeshop, looking gorgeous!
Imagine my surprise to overhear you telling your friends, animatedly, "There's this wonderful website called 'the sartorialist'..."
Don't you just love life's loopy synchronicities? I don't have to go online to find inspiring examples of women aging gracefully. Your beauty brightens my day.
Thank you,
Daphne
