8.TEXT B. Age Defying Style... Upgrade cute to cool, but do not give up on modern!

Dear Sharon: Help!

I am a 30 year old high school English teacher who feels stuck between fashion eras. Although I am not interested in dressing like the students that I teach, I find that the alternative of jumpers and printed sweaters of my older co-workers are horrific. What can a thirty year old woman do to stay fashionable and fun without dressing too young? Please keep in mind that most women in my career are on a budget. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Anna:

There is absolutely no reason why a woman should think that she must dress unfashionably at a certain age. Thirty is still a pretty young age. It’s a time to start exploring those terribly girly pieces that your students may wear and capture the essence of your true style. Once you start believing that you are too old to keep modern, you’ll start looking like those who horrify you.

It’s been said that fifty is the new thirty. People have methods to oppose age and make the most of what they’ve got to peel off the calendar years to simply look marvelous in a way that is timeless. Trends today have become so universal, teens are wearing top designers and their moms are shopping at off the radar, funky boutiques. It’s really not about the age you are, but about the age that you appear. Sure, as time goes on your body shifts and skin slackens, but with sensible upkeep and a modern outlook, you can continue to look amazing if you manage to get round the age. But what does that mean: to get round the age? No ultra-low hipsters worn with tiny shirts (even if your figure says yes, common sense says shorten the amount of exposed flesh), and no babydoll mini. Most important, look like you have arrived and not like you’re finding your way! Should you throw these things away? Not necessarily. Get rid of pieces which define your age, like a T-shirt unless it’s cashmere and you pair it under a lean menswear suit. Wear that babydoll mini over the too-low jeans and midheel boots to keep the look relaxed rather than teenybopper. Slice the belly baring top down the middle and wear it as a shrug over a classic white roll-neck sweater and knee-length skirt. Upgrade cute to cool, but do not give up on modern. Keep the spirit in your wardrobe and the life in your outlook. Be daring, but not inadequate. How to keep to your personal style as the years go on? Start to consider adding a few sophisticated pieces to mix with the fast fashion cheapie fixes. As you mature, keep to your personal style, but simplify it a bit as the years go on. If you think something makes you appear dowdy, it does. If you feel dumb in an outfit, you look it too. Well-cut, clean lines are right for any age. Spruce up with trendy bags, shoes, and belts which imprint a look. As the clock ticks, expose less, leave more to the imagination, and spotlight what’s worth bragging about. Always, always keep your hairstyle fresh with lots of movement. Give your make-up a lift and moisturize. Don’t be afraid to experiment, but be very afraid of being boring.
