Old age is inevitable. As long as we keep breathing, we keep ageing, and there is nothing anyone of us can do about it. In the United Kingdom, we currently have an ageing population. And for one of the first times in history, we all are about to witness the number of our senior generation officially surpass that of the youth, with those 65 and up making up 15.6% of the global population by 2050. I am sure many of us are surprised by this fact, I know I was, but the truth is thanks to the advancement in healthcare and standards of living, we are all living longer.

Now this is good news, or should be good news, but many of us seem to overlook the elderly unconsciously, and cast them off as unable or incapable to do much, like learn new skills, or be an asset to the society, which is so wrong, and so far from the truth. I know a grandma of over 65 who recently passed her driving test after losing her husband. I also know a senior citizen who is currently learning Spanish, now that he is in his seventies, because he always wanted to learn a new language, but never had the time until now. So it is very possible to learn new life skills and tricks at any age.

I am always happy to see companies addresing real issues like this, so you can imagine how happy I was to see Bathing Solutions speaking up about this issue. I am so proud to support and spread the word about Bathing Solutions Breaking Barriers Campaign. I think it is about time we break the barriers against the elderly. It is 2016 for crying out loud, times are changing, people are changing. It is about time to support and encourage the elderly in our communities and make them feel empowered and feel like the true assets they are.

Examples of new life skills the elderly can learn are:

Blogging

Knitting

Cooking

Learning a New Language

Learning to Take Good Photos

The list of life skills over 65s could learn can go on and on. The point I am trying to make is, it is never too late for the senior citizens to learn something new, the elderly among us need our support to remain active and take that leap.It is important we celebrate the senior citizens because we shall all get there someday.

What are your thoughts on this issue?

This was my first outfit post for July. I was in London for the weekend, and was seriously battling with Hay Fever, and just not feeling myself. I am so glad all that is over, and I can enjoy the sunshine in peace. What I like most about this outfit is the black Next sandals. It was my first time wearing it, and I have worn it many times ever since.

 

OOTD: A Summer Dress

This outfit post was the most viewed outfit post for the month of July, and I can see why. It is my favourite look for the month. I love the floral Blue Vanilla dress a lot. It is perfect for the weather. And the accessories complemented the dress beautifully. I can see myself rocking this look again and again.

 

OOTD: Styling Shades of Blue

I enjoyed styling this Shades of Blue outfit. Blue is one colour I really like, and I think it looks so beautiful especially in the summer months. The highlight for this outfit for me was the Miss Selfridge blue top. I got the top a long time ago, but for some reason, I hardly remember I have it. The Kurt Geiger shoes finish up the outfit perfectly too.

So these are my July Outfits..I had fun styling and shooting them. And I hope you are inspired by them.

Which is your favourite look? Do tell me in the comment section below.
