How to Look Great "Past A Certain Age"

The key here is not to fall into common ruts:

• heavy, shapeless shoes - in a word, clogs
• Elastic waisted flat black pants
• "Grandma" sweaters complete with cutsy embroidery
• Never wearing skirts
• Never wearing jeans
• Never showing any forearm or neck
  

Here is what you want to do instead:

• Keep your wardrobe unexpected, ecletic, not so matchy-matchy
• Wear Jeans - dark wash, skim the thigh, straight or boot cut
• Sexy Shoes for the love of God are great at ANY AGE - check out the naturalizer, a fabulous comfort line at the Outlets in Troutdale
• Wear Color near your face - think scarfs and colorful tops!
• V-necks are not tabu! They are fabulous on most women - if your conscious of your skin try a multi-string necklace!
