Beth & The SAACA Team

After staying home for 26 years to raise my brood of three boys, it was time to figure out what came next. Can a fifty-something with a gap in their resumé re-enter the workforce? Was reinvention a foregone conclusion? Then I noticed twenty-somethings were posting “outfits of the day” on blogs and Instagram. That’s it! So what if I have gray hair, my figure isn’t as slim as it was, and there are wrinkles splattered across my face? I love fashion too! That’s how Style at a Certain Age was born. Besides style inspiration, SAACA is dedicated to aging with grace, strength, and beauty.

Aging is a privilege, but as Bette Davis famously claimed, “it’s not for sissies.”Once we hit fifty, changes begin with our hair, skin, and bodies. It’s up to us to keep fit both mentally and physically. It’s not about looking younger; it’s about looking our best. Here you’ll find beauty, health & wellness, skincare, and more. Reinvention doesn’t mean turning into someone else. Reinvention is finding the grace and space to be who you are at 42, 62, or 82. While we can’t age backward like Benjamin Button, we can lead a healthy and vibrant life after fifty and beyond.
