At 20 you feel the world is your oyster. Your ambitions are high, your inhibitions low, you’re willing to try new things just for the sake of the “experience”. Your sense of style is still evolving because you as a person are evolving. You are keenly aware of the trends but determined to constantly maintain your individuality. You’re bolder, and more apt to taking risks, both in life and with your personal style. You see yourself as a maverick.

Your 50’s, when life becomes less about pleasing others and more about enjoying life. Granted you continue to work hard, but you also recognize that every now and then you have to stop and smell the roses. You also realize that in your infinite wisdom that it’s your duty to show the “kids” in the office that you still run the style game and that no matter your age no one can do prints and patterns better than you.
