January 25th, 2010 LOOK GREAT AT EVERY AGE Having lots on the DVR to catch up on I was in an Oprah mood so I started there! The show was about looking great at every age and just turning 40 of course I was right away interested in watching! You spend your 20’s not giving this any thought really because well you can wear anything and look great in anything! If you want to be a walking trend in your 20’s you can, if you want to wear a skirt that almost shows your goods you can! And when you wear pigtails in your 20’s you look cute and sexy as opposed to wearing them in your late 30’s when you might look sexy but silly all at once, unless of course if its just for working out you can pull it off! In your early 30’s you can still get away with wearing some of things you wore in your 20’s you just have to clean it up a bit and as you reach your late 30’s you realize its time to start embracing the next stage of your fashion journey while still looking sexy and youthful without looking like you are trying to look too youthful! Don’t we wish we had our own personal stylists like the stars do so each phase of your life you just open your closet and it’s ready to go with everything that looks good on you for your age and just speaks your name! Since the majority of us live in the real world we will just have to get our tips from shows like the one Oprah had. Learn to be comfy, learn to be comfy, learn to be comfy was really good advice, not meaning walking around in sweats and flats all the time but just being comfy with your true style and embracing that instead of buying shit that’s cute but it just isn’t you so you don’t feel comfortable in it. Buying shit that is too big or too small because we want to cover stuff up or show too much either way we don’t feel ourselves, we don’t feel comfortable in it. The key is to find what fits your personality who you are instead of wearing something that makes you something you are not. The women they gave makeovers to ranged in ages from 30 to 60 and were asked to describe themselves, their inner style in 3 words, like artistic, sexy and feminine, or fun, edgy and sexy..etc…and then find clothes that fit what describes you. All the women looked amazing once they dressed to who they really were and none of them looked like they were trying to hard or looking too old because they were comfortable with what their true style is instead of letting others dictate what that should be. One thing is for sure you can be sexy and stylish at any age without giving into frumpy drab clothing and that is Wonderful!
