She had a great newsletter today with the following info about dressing your age. Since I’m a year older today, it’s time to take a look at what’s appropriate for a mom of three that still wants to look trendy and sexy at the same time.

Let’s examine ourselves, our styles and our closet with the tips below so you can negotiate the styles and trends and be age appropriate too!

1. How current is your hairstyle? (Your hair is a critical part of your overall look!) Are you still stuck in a style moment that has past? Hairstyles are like cars-they may still work for you, but you must go in for a regular tune-up! Learn some modern techniques of hair care and at least “tweak” the style that you have.

2. Remember there are no written rules: wear clothes that you feel confident in.

3. You can’t go wrong with a tailored blazer, some darker jeans and cute shoes you really like! This combination always looks good-no matter your age!

4. Realize that hot 30 year olds have more style choices.

5. Conservative clothes can be sexy.

6. Women that put more effort into their appearance are more self-confident. Become one of them!

7. Dressing like your teenage daughter makes you appear desperate and older! Embrace your age-younger gals envy you-and your confidence!

8. There is nothing sexier than a confident woman!

9. The concept of aging is constantly being re-defined and you should continually re-define your wardrobe too!

10. Honestly figure out what no longer suits you and find out what does – then show it off! Do you have a great looking neckline, calves or arms?

11. Really nice shoes and a handbag, always make you look good! Splurge, if you can on one item that makes you feel fabulous!

12. Try the MissusSmartyPants favorite! Dress monochromatic. It is always slimming and all you need to do is add a funky necklace or other accessory as a focal point!

13. Do a trend. Just don’t overdue it! Only one piece denim, or if going boho chic, do not wear the peasant skirt and top, plus sparkly slip-on shoes as well as big earrings! Just a touch of a trend is all you need! Or why look like the animal being hunted on safari? Do not dress from head to toe in an animal print! Use animal prints ONLY as a fun accessory!

14. Accept that some styles are just not right for your body type. Find the right fit for your body and look like a million bucks!!
