Ageless Beauty Fall Fashion Challenge

Come on ladies, show us your style … or your styleboard.

Have you figured out which of this fall’s styles and colors are best for you? It depends on your:

• Skin and hair coloring;
• Taste in fashion;
• Figure (height, weight, proportions);
• Skin tautness; and
• Age.

My favorite and most helpful book on the subject of continuing to look smashing into our 50s and beyond is Makeover Guy Christopher Hopkins’ book, Staging Your Comeback: A Complete Beauty Revival for Women Over 45 .

The styleboard at the top titled "Shake Ya..." by bellaink is courtesy of Kaboodle. I think it would work well for a lot of us Age Warriors, though any with those dangly bat wing arms would not want to wear the cap sleeve top. The skirt is not too short. The purple top skims over the waist. The heels are fashionably high but not dangerously so.

And the jewelry is smashing! Did you know that the simple addition of wearing a bracelet gives the impression of youthfulness?

Here’s a styleboard I did for myself last fall: skinny jeans with a top that skims a waistline which is not as taut as it used to be. The loose weave sweater also skims over all. Tuxedo look ballet flats. Stretchy thick bracelet and chunky ring.

Send your outfit(s) as:

• A photo of you wearing it;
• A photo of it laid out as in my example; or
• A styleboard such as you can make at Kaboodle.

Send submissions to jean @ ageless-beauty.com. [Take out the spaces which are there to thwart the spam bots ;-)] Add any description as to why the outfit works for you or why it would suit other Ageless Beauties.

We’d love to see your style. What will you be stepping out in this fall?
