Do I Look Too Old?

Have you ever asked yourself this question?

It's very easy to slide into a "comfortable look" without even realizing that you are starting to look like a granny. Today a woman of 50, 60 or even 70, isn't the same woman who lived a generation ago. So, with this in mind, I have collected a few tips that will help you update your style quickly and easily!

1. Don't leave the house without your fragrance. It is however, important to consider the people you will be socializing with. If someone is allergic, by all means do them a favor and leave it at home.

2. At one time, woman that were grandmothers, always wore their hair short and permed. You don't have to go that route. If you like your hair short, by all means have it cut, but make it trendy.

3. Fashion is another area that can catch us up, quite badly. There is nothing worse than a baggy pair of slacks with a blouse that has seen better days, covered with an oversized sweater... If you are really stuck for ideas, turn to a catalogue. They will feature models in your age group, sporting outfits that will suit you too. Either order the outfit, or go shopping for something similar.

4. Shoes... what can I say. By all means wear something that is comfortable, but know when to toss them.

5. Florals should be reserved for comforters at best. I have yet to see an article of clothing covered in flowers that doesn't somehow make you look matronly.

6. Keep your jewelry classic looking, and it won't let you down. Those plastic pearls that were popular twenty years ago, pack them away.
