Trousers and Pants for Women: Classy and Gorgeous for the 55+ Woman
Is there really anybody who thinks women’s pants or trousers, even jeans are age inappropriate for women of any age? I don’t think so!
Rediscovering Your Style Mojo
We hear so much about dressing your age and dressing age appropriately, often from people who look 12, you really have to wonder who made the decision that women over 50 (and then some), must follow silly ‘rules’? Why? Are we really unable to make our own decisions about how we look? Have we lost our Mojo?
Accessories and Your Personal Style
I was blessed with a mother who could take a scarf and a couple of cheap bangles and turn an inexpensive outfit into a fashion statement. It was a knack she acquired watching her aunties; women from the twenties! It’s a knack that has been handed down; in my family, we are all women who love our accessories.
Clean Your Makeup Brushes for a Flawless Look
If you can’t remember when you last cleaned your makeup brushes and sponges, then now might be a good time to give them a bit of a spring clean.
Look Good with Less Makeup
How often have you heard Less is More when it comes to makeup? Especially when talking about women who are no longer in the first, or even second flush of youth. We hear it all the time, but we never think it applies to us! No-no no no … But we certainly know when somebody else is wearing too much make-up!
10 Reasons not to miss going to Clothing Stores
Throughout lockdown we were itching to get out and go shopping. A trip down the local high street or a meet up in the local shopping mall … whatever your desire it just wasn’t going to happen. And it didn’t.
Jeans & Fashion: not just for the 18 – 25s!
Some of you already know, and some of you have forgotten, but I bet that in your teenage-hood you decided that by the time you reached 40 life would be over and so would your interest in fashion and style. But you’re probably still wearing jeans so you’re hanging in there!
Pearl Accessories. Being Bold or OTT?!
The Subtle Art of Accessorising seems to be disappearing.
Is it because we’ve lost the knack, or never had the knack? Whatever happened to bleeding colours through an outfit with jewellery, scarves, gloves? Why do so many women seem to be locked into dressing down rather than dressing UP?! When we could be using accessories to enhance… even flatter?
Hands: Give them Some Much-Needed TLC
Our hands say a lot about our age. Look at the gorgeous women over 70 we all admire so much (Jane Fonda and Helen Mirren, Julies Andrews, Maggie Smith …) all well over 70 and with not so great hands any more! It happens to us all … we suddenly notice we have age spots and /or are showing signs of arthritis.
Colour Basics and “Rules”: What Looks Good
Who remembers “blue and green should never be seen”? This is a “rule” with longevity because most people like having guidance on how to dress and many of us are fixated with the idea of having our colours done.
