I agree with so much that's been said here. Of course I speak only for myself, but I am only getting more confident, more 'happy in my own skin' as I get older. I too was called 'madame' on my latest trip to France this spring, and loved it. I feel like my 30s have brought with them some dignity, and possibly some elegance too (I'm sure I have selective memory when it comes to fashion faux pas of years gone by).
I do always ask myself, 'mutton dressed as lamb?' when I check myself in fitting room mirrors, and there are certainly things I wouldn't wear now that I would have worn without question ten years ago. But I'm definitely enjoying shopping 'to last', looking for that element of quality, of style rather than fashion, dressing like a grown up! Becoming a lady at last, not a girl any more.
