Marjo, on the streets of Amsterdam …>> continue reading
Marjo (1949): “Just like my mother, my hair turned grey when I was thirty and
my hairdresser started coloring my hair until about eight years ago.
Since that time grey it harmonizes better to my age.
My hair dresser only applies some low-lights now and then.
Doing that it becomes more lively. And I’m using a little more
eye make-up.
Some weeks ago I bought this red coat at Zara. I don’t buy clothes just because of a
special brand. I don’t have a favorite designer nor style icon.
My style did change during the past years. I lived in France for more than five years,
since that time I do wear more often dresses.
You can describe my style as fashionable with a touch of chic.
I love accessories, especially big ones, like large brooches and rings.
And I have a box full of necklaces.
The only problem of grey hair is that men don’t look twice anymore….
Recently I watched the documentary Advanced Style by
Arie Seth Cohen. Very inspiring to see all those outrageous dressed women.
This is my ‘advanced style’ cap.”

Marjo recently worked three month as a volunteer in Thailand for Huahin.
Huahins objective is to reduce the population of street dogs through sterilization
and to relieve them as much as possible from pain, itching and hunger.
Where possible, they seek new homes for puppies, adult dogs, and cats in Thailand
and abroad.
If you are interested: this organization works exclusively on a voluntary basis and is
entirely dependent on donations and gifts.
Your comment on “men not looking twice” ?
I wouldn’t stop looking, Beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful.Keep doing what your doing.Your outstanding appearance sets an example for all ages to follow.
Thank you
I have aged well myself but I agree the white hair as nice and uniform in color as it was gave me this MRS. Claus esque look which at 60 I’m not quite ready to sport. So after wearing my new natural white, platinum or pearl look for a couple months I decided to add some low light foils to give some dimension to my color. I had my hairdresser add cool ash tones to resemble natural graying without being completely white. Unfortunately I also find it true I turn fewer heads with my natural white.
Good idea to add some lowlights and I’m sure some heads still will turn:-)
I constantly get compliments on my white hair. People say it’s gorgeous! So, therefore, I will stick with my natural white hair.
What a good idea!
You are stunning! I turned gray when I was 35, I am 73 now and have enjoyed my gray hair tremendously!!
I would bet you’re still turning heads
Why are we interested in turning heads? If you are happy with your hair, looks, etc., you don’t need validation from anybody! We are all beautiful in some way or another and need to get that across to younger women. In my opinion, your are all quite attractive with your white, grey or low lighted hair ❤️
