Daily Fashion to Lighten the Quarantine Burden

Daily Fashion to Lighten the Quarantine Burden

Life during the Coronavirus quarantine can be lonely and monotonous for women who normally use their local senior center as a hub for socializing.

But Sharon Abell, a regular at the Fox Valley Community Services Senior Center in Sandwich, Illinois, is doing her best to relieve some of that loneliness and boredom by modeling fashions every day on social media.

The initiative was the brainchild of the center’s activities director, Becky Lueken, who is determined to maintain some level of programming during this unusual time.

For example, the center’s parking lot served as an Easter Driving Parade, and the seniors regularly sit in their cars and play bingo as Lueken calls out lucky numbers.

Sharon Abell is among the first to jump into participating, so when Lueken asked her whether she’d be interested in posting a daily “quarantine fashion show,” Sharon responded enthusiastically.

“I’m kind of known as the center’s fashionista,” says Sharon, who has five bursting clothes closets and some experience modeling for a nearby women’s boutique. Add her great attitude, and Sharon felt ready for the challenge.

The Daily Virtual Fashion Show

She was able to start immediately with photos that were already on her phone. She’d been keeping a visual record of how she would style an outfit with jewelry, shoes, and other accessories in case she ever wanted to repeat it exactly – even though she tends to mix it up each time.

Sharon’s husband, Leonard, has been her reliable photographer, and when her backlog of photos ran out she asked for his help with a few new photo sessions.

In each session, she changes into enough outfits to cover another week. Although at home she’s been going light on makeup during the quarantine, for her fashion shoots she does her hair and makeup to the fullest.

Sharon started with Facebook, accompanying each fashion image with a brief description of the outfit and, often, some background about where she purchased it or why it holds a place in her heart.

Many of the outfits bring back memories of travel, since shopping at boutiques and vintage shops is one of Sharon’s favorite vacation activities.

More recently, she created an Instagram account to expand her online presence. Soon people were sharing her posts, and her circle of admirers grew. That’s how I became aware of this endeavor and wanted to let the Sixty and Me community know about it.

Youthful Taste

I called Sharon and asked her to describe her fashion taste, which I found particularly inspiring because of the youthful flair. At 77, Sharon wears even off-the-shoulder tops confidently.

She told me that her inner fashionista came out only later in life, but once it did, she let it flourish. Not a big fan of her own ankles, Sharon sticks mostly to leggings, pantsuits, and maxi dresses. Then she always adds her own touch to an outfit.

“If a top is meant to be loose, I’ll probably belt it,” Sharon explains. She can match at least one jacket or kimono duster to every outfit, which not only adds panache but also adapts the outfit for different weather conditions and levels of formality.

She adds, “I’m almost always in a pair of heels – just a chunky heel or wedge – even with jeans. That dresses up an outfit. And I have a lot of jewelry! I used to wear only gold or silver, but lately I’ve been liking some color in my jewelry.”

Color also plays a major role in her clothing selection. She wears harvest hues in fall and pastels in spring. “At Christmastime, I have ivory pants and boots that I wear with an ivory and gold sweater,” she says. “I like that monochromatic look, because it’s dramatic. If I’m very dressed up, I’m probably in all black.”

People Love It!

The plan was to run the virtual fashion show throughout the month of April, but Sharon’s “fans” convinced her to extend it into May. Sharon has been having a ball doing it, and the continuing comments on social media show that people appreciate her effort.

“That one deserves a WOW,” a friend commented about an outfit. “Fun to see how you can change an outfit to look totally different,” wrote another. One friend summed it up: “Your fashion puts a smile on my face, so keep it going, Sharon!”

Helping her senior center friends feel connected and inspired makes the isolation a little easier for Sharon, too, who never expected to receive such attention at this stage of her life.

Do you follow a fashionista at this time of Coronavirus isolation? Whom do you follow and why? How do they inspire you? Please share with our community!

Real Housewives of Dallas Instagram Fashion 2020

If you’ve been wondering what Real Housewives of Dallas’ Stephanie Hollman has been up to these days during the Q, she’s apparently been keeping busy by filming cute TikToks with her family and still getting dressed up in cute outfits (that even include jeans apparently) like with this “More Love” tee. Which I think it’s safe to say we’ve fallen for harder than Stephanie & Co. did while filming the bed flip challenge (well, maybe).

Can Castor Oil Really Help Your Lashes & Brows Grow?

Hair loss is a well-known and wide-spread issue. Thinning hair can be caused by a vast array of different things, from genetics to stress to diet and prescription medications. However, while we typically think of the hair on our head when it comes to this concern, our lashes and eyebrows can also be impacted by the same reason the hair on heads begins to thin. Castor oil has been generating buzz lately, touted for its apparent ability to help promote accelerate eyebrow and eyelash re-growth. Unlike Biotin and other B-vitamins, there isn’t a ton of clinically backed research vetting the alleged connection between castor oil and accelerated hair regrowth. On the other hand, the anecdotal research is pretty compelling, with plenty of before-and-after pics scattered throughout the web.

While the academic research and clinical trials examining the oil’s ability to promote hair re-growth may be scant, that doesn’t mean the connection is to be completely discredited. In fact, castor oil does have natural anti-bacterial and anti-fungal proprieties, which can thoroughly cleanse and remove dead skin and product buildup from the scalp. When the hair follicles on the scalp are clogged, this inhibits normal hair growth. Just like congested pores on your face, congested follicles on your scalp are simply no good. And, according to some castor oil manufacturers, it functions as an effective growth accelerant because it’s penetrated easily, delivering a saturated dose of Vitamin E, triglyceride fatty acids, and bond-building proteins. In short, while more research needs to be conducted for castor to earn  the FDA’s seal of approval, if you’re like us, the vast amount of “true stories” documenting its benefits are enough to convince us to try it out for ourselves.

After experiencing a month or two of non-stop stress and lack of sleep, I woke up one morning and as I looked in the mirror, I realized that my brows were noticeably thinner than a week or two ago. Of course, given my non-stop schedule that had taken over my life during the past weeks, it makes sense that the thinning brow situation would go unnoticed until that very moment. In panic mode, I immediately began to research what type of disease could be at the root of my suddenly skimpy brows, only to settle on the conclusion that it was in fact, probably stress — a very common cause of hair loss according to my bible, WebMd. Anyways, after learning that a few friends of mine had also been battling this sudden onset of thinning brows, I began to try out the oil myself to see what I could glean. I’m not sure if my restored brows were courtesy of my return to a more balanced schedule or the castor oil, but there was a visible improvement in the fullness of my brows. While I can’t speak to its impact on eyelash growth, I would imagine it would have same effect and the products below all claim to help in this department. Here are some of our favorite formulas.

Caroline Stanbury 2020 Instagram Fashion

Quarantine fashion queen Caroline Stanbury looked stylish and chic in her white strapless lace jumpsuit playing a game with two of her three kids on Instagram. For some reason I always thought she only had two kids, but low and behold, she has two boys and a girl! Although I’m clearly not very versed in her family dynamics what I am well versed in is the in and outs of her closet which means we can look cool like Caroline, no many how many kids we have or don’t.
