And finding something that's stylish and looks good on a bigger person. I'm tall, I'm busty and I'm not even close to being svelte. Lane Bryant seems to think that everything needs to be embellished to a fare-thee-well and stores like Macy's seem to think that if you're not a size 2, you want to look like the mother of the bride.Major Bedheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17669161302510096751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-30463623108176192092010-03-29T08:32:54.654-05:002010-03-29T08:32:54.654-05:00I like your choice--she looks clean and fresh and ...I like your choice--she looks clean and fresh and stylish and simple.

I hate going barefoot in shoes and I teach, so I'm on my feet a lot. I hate (HATE) flipflops because of that thingy in the middle. So, some exposition on shoes, please. I know Oprah did a show on the six pairs of shoes you couldn't do without. What about Poppy?teachergirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05655615013367705872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-27123315884585021732010-03-28T16:23:32.511-05:002010-03-28T16:23:32.511-05:00Barbra: I think you can afford to stay at the 27-3...Barbra: I think you can afford to stay at the 27-30 year old end of the pool. Or even older. Frankly, all you have to do is avoid dressing like Taylor Swift and you've got it made. How about Gwyneth Paltrow, Kirsten Dunst, or Penelope Cruz? Or Drew Barrymore, but only if she promises to wear a bra?<br /><br />Loretta: You've got a point--these women realize that they're dressing for the camera, so they tend to keep the pattern and accessories to a minimum. Still, too little is better than too much.Poppy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01532483657395207695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-11986332298215880252010-03-28T16:23:31.883-05:002010-03-28T16:23:31.883-05:00Poppy, you make me wind on my sofa. please not the...Poppy, you make me wind on my sofa. please not the Olsen twins.<br /><br />Barbara, I am 37, too. following Poppy's advice it's the Olsen twins! :-o<br />since we are 2 ... well, fate?<br /><br />just recently I found out a cool acress was just 22, damn, I should have wrote it down.

Anything much longer is going to look dowdy. Remember, the legs are the last thing to go!<br /><br />MAW: Agreed on the skirt length and on Jennifer. The fashion press reveres more extreme celebs like the Olson twins, but I personally have no desire to look like an anorexic lemur.<br /><br />jenontheedge: I agree. I can only aspire to that hair. <br /><br />jenn: What do you mean, your miniskirt days are over. You have the right name, which is half the battle.<br /><br />Paula: I'm glad to see you agree about the miniskirts. Now about your style clone ... I'm afraid you're going to have to copy the Olsen twins. <br /><br />Rosina: You put it in a nutshell. The idea is ageless dressing. And it is a delicate balance to attain, which explains why I feel validated when my daughter borrows something of mine, and nervous when I borrow something of hers. ;-)Poppy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01532483657395207695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-69354505786917154682010-03-28T14:03:08.543-05:002010-03-28T14:03:08.543-05:00Great advice.

I do wear a black or grey plaid mini from time to time but always with opaque black tights and a longer, open black jacket over it, with a contrasting long scarf. Being mutton dressed as lamb is my greatest fear. I've seen way too many women dressed either this way, or as frumps. Few people capture the happy medium. <br /><br />I've blogged about ageless dressing a few times as a lot of women ask me how to look younger in other ways than with skincare and makeup. (Rule #1, don't wear all-over animal prints...) I have another post coming up soon so I will make sure I link to this one :)Antonia Rosinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213023670724061978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-25002351528659423282010-03-28T12:40:20.276-05:002010-03-28T12:40:20.276-05:00imho miniskirts - not ultra-mini but visible mini ...imho miniskirts - not ultra-mini but visible mini are ok at 45, when your legs are in a perfect shape, why not? especially mini-dresses or large tees combined leggings can look hot and still have class and style.<br /><br />any suggestions for a 22 year old style clone? minus 15 was the formular, right?Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17842556959891396007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922232.post-12942854576205447192010-03-28T08:06:21.050-05:002010-03-28T08:06:21.050-05:00Excellent advice!
