Italian term or phrase:una donna finita
stesso come sopra!
si tratta di una pagina pubblicitaria di una fiera di abbigliamento. Una sorta di fumetto tra tre donne/amiche molto modaiole, una delle quali non sa nulla della nuova fiera di moda.
Il dialogo più o meno è questo:
A - ma come...ti perdi XXX???
B - la moda a (città)??
C - ma sì, non dirmi che non sai di XXX a (città)!!!
B - ...
A (pensa) - d'altra parte...con quel cappello! dove potrebbe mai andare?
C (pensa) - povera cara...tagliata fuori da tutto una donna finita!
Grazie...come per le latre due richieste, io trovo ovviamente solo delle traduzioni poco "slang", come dire...e più da dizionario...invece vorrei quel qualcosa in più...grazie mille!
Explanation: I thought of "over the hill" (too rude) .....perhaps "a woman who's lost track of what's happening"....." a woman who's out of time".....etc....

"povera cara...tagliata fuori da tutto una donna finita!" could be "Poor thing....so out of fashion.. she's totally lost the plot !

Notes to answerer
Asker: shall I put she's fallen out of fashion? is it ok as exclamation?
Explanation: Given the context you describe, I think this is the best expression- that woman is out of the loop. Da l'idea perche' implica il concetto di essere fuori da un giro, fuori tempo, non informata, appunto "finita" ma non in senso drammatico.

The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
