A New Look For A New Relationship

June 15th, 2008 by GiGi....Tags: may to december romance, Over 40, over 50, relationships

If you’re thinking about a new relationship, especially may to december romance with a younger man, it’s time you started to get out there and feel young. Unfortunately as we get older, our instinct for knowing what suits suits us all too often gets lost

Behaving younger just won’t cut it.

Many of us tend to get stuck with the last look that we really understood and go on working it. We feel comfortable with the look, it hides our body flaws and though not at the height of fashion refuse to move out of the 80’s or 90’s.

Let’s face it, smocks, vest tops, neon colors and skinny jeans may be all the rage, but they probably should not be in your wardrobe. Your goal here is to give the world the impression that you’re a sophisticated woman. Dress like one.

Younger, trendy clothes doesn’t mean you’re looking for the same look as those hard bodied teens who insist on showing the world their navels. What is possibly more pitiful is middle-aged woman trying to remain young by wearing what the “kids” are wearing. What you don’t realize is that what they are really doing is pointing out, quite visibly, that you aren’t a kid any more. Trying to look 20 when you’re 45 will make you the butt of jokes, but there’s no reason that you can’t chop 10 years off your look with a fashion statement.

You also need to forget the idea that it’s okay to wear certain things when you’re a certain age. When I was 30 I didn’t have to read a fashion magazine to know what I wanted to wear: But most of us over 50 and over 40 as well, find this instinct fades as we age and takes with it that confidence that seems to be in the possession of younger women as they sashay into the room just knowing they’ve got it right.

Take those classic rags and donate them to Goodwill. You’re going to be amazed at just how young you’ll feel in a new outfit.

Lastly, if you really want to look younger, invest in a hairstyle overhaul. Modernizing that reliable haircut you’ve had for a while will take more years off you than a miniskirt. And you’ll keep your self-respect, too.
