Look Good Over Forty

How to look good over forty?

They say you should never wear shorts over forty but who exactly are "They"?

Venus Cow says, "The rules are simple, there are no rules."

Over forty, styling yourself must become something you think about not just something you passively do. Each piece should be selected individually, including shoes and accessories keeping the complete emsemble always in mind.

Top styling tips over forty include, younger accessories, using bold tights to highlight and accent (bare legs are a no no unless you are tall, slim, toned and tanned). No flat shoes, everyone's legs look better in heels. You can find fantastic vintage and costume jewellery in every charity shop. Big chunky pearls will light up your face. Giving your closet a much needed once over to update and refresh is something to do when you hit forty. If you are on a budget, the key is to pick out from your wardrobe things with the tickets still on, items never or rarely worn or that just don't fit you and do some swapping with your younger chums or daughters to keep you up to date. For them your stuff will be cool and vintage.

Venus Cow says, "Forget Tupperware, have a swap party."
