Why 50 Is Not Old Began

In 2015, Tania’s sister Lisa Lewis Tyre (a published author) encouraged her to share her love of fashion online. At first, Tania hesitated, who would read about her outfits? But she discovered a community of incredible women looking for style ideas, honest advice, and inspiration. That’s when she knew she’d found her purpose.
