Faded beauty

I just don't recognise that person in the mirror now, it is hard coming to terms with the fact that heads do not turn any more and the worse thing is I am now called dear or sweetheart when in shops as if I am not seen as a person anymore. I do my best and I suppose I look as good as I can for my age, but I can see why people give cosmetic procedures a go to hold on to youth a bit, I am just too nervous about it.

If you want to be happy with your looks, stop looking back at how you were and concentrate on how you are now. Don't focus on the wrinkles but the good bits. Let's make it so that older beauty is as valued as the beauty of youth.

I can't say I have ever turned heads well except for when I dyed my hair pillar box red by mistake and then it was for all the wrong reasons

Even when I was young I had very little self confidence in how I looked.

As someone said: not pretty or beautiful but striking. I was told that I looked like Simone Signoret.
