The 80-Year-Old Fashion Blogger

05/20/15 | assorted, Fashion and Style

I was recently introduced to the Senior Style Bible, a fashion blog by 80-year-old, and yes, you read that right EIGHTY, Dorrie Jacobson.  A few times a month she shares one of her gorgeous ensembles with her reasoning behind each look.  Dorrie’s outfits are usually a great example high-low combinations such as H&M and Charming Charlie with designer pieces from Tom Ford, YSL, Prada and Jimmy Choo.  And with each post it just keeps getting better. 

Dorrie is from Las Vegas and her blog serves a purpose that my grandmother would love. (and has often asked me to post outfits or style advice for older ‘gals’) The  Senior Style Bible hits the sweet spot for me and Dorrie is a woman after my own heart, plus she has the skinny arm pose down. Sure, according to her about page she used to be a Playboy bunny so she has a genetic foot up on most of us but still, #killing it.  Oh, and I am obsessed with the fact she is online dating!  She has only been blogging for three months but here are some of the great outfits that Dorrie has featured on the blog (and please note how she is pulling a Blair Eadie with sunglasses on in every photo):

I sure as heck did not discover her but with less than 100 followers on BlogLovin I hope I am introducing many of you to Dorrie Jacobson’s great blog and amazing style. 

Dorrie is fantastic, don’t you agree?

    This blows my mind – she looks fabulous and definitely not 80!! This gives me hope that my wardrobe will only improve over time and that we will still be blogging well into our 80’s!

Seriously tho I have tried everything from Match.com to Tinder and while I sure have had my fun it is so hard trying to meet a decent man lol!!! Online dating is such a crazy thing lmao it’s either really fun or super crazy. One time I think I actually went on a date with a serial killer! HA I’M NOT KIDDING!!! Can’t prove it but omg was it crazy!!! Kelly you seriously gotta stick to ur New Years resolution and talk about ur online dating experiences too cause I bet you have some awesome stories.
