Have you noticed? When a woman reaches a certain age it often takes planning and coordination with her accessories to achieve that look. That nonchalant appearance of having ‘thrown together’ something that looks simply stunning!
There’s plenty of advice on style, colour, fabric and even textures that work for a re-designed body shape. They’re there to help you create your own personal style statement. Unfortunately, there is little advice to help you get the most out of your accessories.
Younger faces
Many of the necklaces, bangles and earrings that we see nowadays are designed for a younger face. Certainly a more youthful chin and neck. Drop earrings are the classic example of this. They so often don’t work with a sagging chin.
The cutting edge in Necklaces & Chains
If your neck and chin have seen better days, wear necklaces that fall to the collar bone or lower. You’re trying to create a longer look. and long chains or necklaces are good accessories for achieving this.
The chokers that looked so fabulous in your 20’s, now draw unwanted attention to the jawline. A longer necklace will draw the eye down and make you look longer and leaner.
Chicken-Skin Neck
If the skin of your neck has a crepe appearance (the dreaded chicken-skin look), wear your hair so it hits just below the chin. It will bring the eyes up and away from the neck area.
So will good make-up application that brightens your face and draws the eye up to your lovely eyes and wonderful smile. Use your makeup as one of your accessories.
