Star Style: Looking Age-Appropriate

Kudos to Michelle Pfeiffer for looking both GORGEOUS and age-appropriate in this deep blue Lanvin Sheath Dress.

In honor of her highness, here are some other options for those of you who have repeatedly requested for more age appropriate attire. But first, some guidelines... not rules, just guidelines

1. Find what works for your body type and stick with it. If you don't know... ASK!!! A lot of experienced (and honest) salespeople actually know what they are talking about. Or you could just e-mail me... but I charge per hour.
2. Dresses and skirts should be no more than two inches above the knee... those hot pants and mod minis you loved so much in high school and college are no longer for you.
3. Nothing too tight, too trendy or too revealing. Repeat after me... I am not Dina Lohan.
4. If you are desperately in love with a new trend... hot color... patent leather... whatever it may be, try it in small doses or as an accessory.
   
5. Don't pile it on. Hopefully you have invested in some major jewelry. Even if it's just costume, pick one piece that's a show-stopper and downplay the rest.
   
6. Be creative. Just because you bought it as an outfit doesn't mean it has to stay that way. Take the jacket from that old suit and wear it with jeans, wide-leg trousers... or vice versa.
7. Cardigans, blazers and wraps are your friends. Don't like your arms? You can still wear that sleeveless top.
   
8. And last but not least... Confidence is everything... You have the experience to know what works for you... so stand up straight and realize that your age is your ally.

This D&G Lace Overlay dress is so incredibly sophisticated. I love the ruffle detail at the neck and the blousy feel of the top.

















This Maggy London Cutaway Silk Dress comes in a gorgeous regal blue, so add some color to your black and beige closet. And the crinkled chiffon material is surprisingly flattering. Oh, and did I mention it's on sale for only $92??














This BCBG Max Azria Cap Sleeve Silk Dress is a great dressy summer alternative. And the seamed waist sculpts a great silhouette.
















This uber-sophisticated David Meister Cap Sleeve Jersey Dress is so edgy that I would wear it. But it is on the tight side, so don't forget your Spanx.
