Over 40 and wondering what to wear to a casual holiday open house, an afternoon cookie exchange, or just cocktails around the fire? Here are 7 suggestions for How Not to Look Old During the Holidays:
1. Stay away from Christmas-themed sweaters
Stay away from costume-like clothing that makes you look like you raided a senior citizen’s closet. To be cool this Christmas, don’t be so obvious. Re-gift that Holiday themed sweater to the Good Will.
Instead, we suggest something like this hip red sweater paired with black pants, boots and a fabulous bag. It’s sexy, age appropriate and perfect for a holiday get together.
You’ll look cozy and sexy in this simple off the shoulder statement sweater. Can’t you just see wearing this as you sit around the fireplace and drink red wine?
Here’s another great option. This camisole with matching wrap sweater is also pretty, lady-like and perfect for the holidays.
2. Try wearing winter white
Winter white is chic and sophisticated. Even with jeans this pretty snowflake white sweater will dress things up. You can wear a winter white outfit like this with high boots, but a low heeled boot in chocolate brown would work equally as well. You could also try pulling the sweater out and belting it, if you are self-conscious about your tummy.
3. Show up in a pair of fabulous boots
Boots have image impact. You can wear them with anything and always look sexy and cool. You may have to trudge through the snow in a practical pair to get to your party, but once you arrive slip on a more fashionable pair that are fresh and new, and that make your legs look wow. Then enjoy the compliments!
If you want a lower heel, then these black beauties are a casual, modern choice.
4. Replace heavy knits with fine, cozy cashmere
You’re not living at the North Pole so don’t show up in something you’d have to wear to keep warm up there. Instead of a bulky heavy ski sweater, which will only make you look like a polar bear, try a light, pretty cashmere sweater. A more up to date choice is this purple cashmere sweater. It’s romantic and a nice change too from typical holiday wear. Be sure to wear some beautiful jewelry with this to accent this royal color.
Want a little more glamor? Try this stunning mocha sequined cashmere sweater set, and imagine how it will glow in candlelight!
Would you rather wear a dress? Here’s a comfy casual cashmere dress. We suggest you keep the tights grey for a nice lean line……textured grey would add a lot of interest.
5. Wow them with a hip satin jewel-toned blouse
A pretty silky blouse is an easy way to up the glamour during the holidays. There’s no need to stick to red, though. Any deep, rich clear color will look festive too. Metallics also work with the mood of the season. Wear your blouse with black pants or a black skirt and you are good to go. Here are a few we like…
6. Opt for festive, but not obvious, Christmas jewelry
A candy cane pin, a Christmas tree charm on a necklace. No matter how cute or sentimental, it will still look like it came from the dollar store. Instead try something festive, but subtle. See how this circle necklace looks like something you might string on an X-mas tree, but doesn’t scream “It’s Christmas.”
This charm bracelet also has a romantic feel…
7. Look lean and lovely in a long vest
A long vest is so classy and comfortable. You can pair it with slim pants that you tuck into your boots or wear out, like this. Add a belt at the waist or lower on the hips depending on your body type.
You might also want to pair a vest with something tighter like these double-knit leggings by Vince. They are thinner than tights and will keep you warmer. You would wear these tucked into boots. Unless you are very tall and thin, we would advise NOT to wear these with flats (as shown).
If you don’t look good in tight pants then here is a wide legged version.

We love it when you ask us questions, so here are two sides of the coin about nighttime dressing that we received recently from two of our readers:
Dear Glams,
My husband is trying to save money and is keeping the house on the cool side this winter. At night I am putting on lots of layers over my flannel pajamas and feel like the Micheline man. Do you have any suggestions?
L.R., Pennsylvania
Dear L.R.,
Being cold is hard because you do have to layer. But if you are going to layer, do it in style!
* Go for a color theme in your bedtime wardrobe, so it will at least look coherent. (slippers, robe, and p.j.’s should all coordinate!)
* Underneath the robe, try something other than just pants and a t-shirt, like matching flannels.
* If you have a solid robe, go with print p.j.’s and if you have a print robe, go with p.j.’s that are solid
* We love Pine Cone Hill cozy warm robes. They are by far one of the most soft and cozy robes out there! and they come in tons of pretty colors for you to choose from.
Designer sleepwear is warm and elegant!

HI Glam Gals,
I am over 40, and am wanting some new lounge wear, but want something that
is supportive, and pretty. I live in a hot climate and need something cool.
Is there a store that sells pretty nighties with a lacy top with a built in
under wire?
thank you!
C.W., Florida
Dear C.W.,
We have a few suggestion for you. Sounds like you want to look sexy, but might need a little support. We have a nice video about a great line of ladies lingerie called Yummy Tummies. I don’t think they have an under wire, but they are very supportive especially around the tummy! They are very sexy and can be worn as P.J’s or every day wear.
Buxum's silk knot chemise
Also, if you are busty, there is a line of ladies nighties, called Buxom Inc. These lovely nighties give those with ample vavoom, the room they need!
One more note - for a fabulous selection of p.j.s go to www.herroom.com! Sweet dreams!

Dear Glam Gals,
I know holiday time is nearing because my mail box is bulging at the rivets! I have shopped by catalog for convince, now it seems as if I receive every catalog ever printed! I would like some advice from the professionals; so I am going straight to the Glam Gals. What is the best way to approach my (growing) catalog pile? I know, I should begin by putting my VISA away and develop a plan (I have listened to you!) But what is next? What is the plan??
Sincerely,
Shops-By-Phone
Hi Shops-By-Phone!
When it comes to getting all those catalogs it can be rather overwhelming. When it comes to the question, should I or shouldn’t I buy from them we say, please by all means put that Visa away… we would much rather you get your body into the store and try things on, than buy from a catalog. However, that being said, we actually think these catalogs are a great tool to use in making your shopping plan.
So…here are 10 tips to what to do with all those catalogs:
1) Read catalogs like you would a fashion magazine. Look at what trends are coming in style, look at what colors they are showing. This will give you a good feel for how you might update your wardrobe for the coming season.
2) Be picky about which catalogs you read. Throw out the rest. Don’t be tempted to read the ones that are not worthy.
3) Catalogs we like are Nordstrom, Neiman-Marcus, Saks, any high end store. For casual, we like Banana Republic, Anthropology, and even J. Crew has got some great finds!
4) Catalogs we think will get you off track are Coldwater Creek, Chico’s, Talbots, anything too “earth cookie” will make you look matronly and uninspired.
5) Just remember, there are good and bad styles in all catalogs, because they have to sell to all types of tastes. Its not how much it costs; it is how it looks, fits and how much you love it.
6) You should not buy things from catalogs if you can help it. It is always better to go to the store when possible and try things on.
7) Use catalogs to inspire you to try to imitate a “look” if you have a budget. One of our favorite stores for a great bargain is H and M. They do a great job of selling clothes that have lots of style and a low price tag.
8 ) If you do buy from a catalog, go ahead and buy 2 different sizes so you can try them both on and return the one that does not fit. It’s very hard to buy things and have them fit the first time around. If you love it, and it needs a little alteration, get it done. Never feel guilty about getting something altered. Its so important that your clothes fit your unique body and its almost impossible for anyone to buy something that does not need a little nip or tuck here and there.
9) Only keep things that you absolutely LOVE and adore…most people get things from a catalog, and keep it, even if it is less than wonderful.
10) Finally, start noticing what colors they put the models in. Usually they put the right color on the right model. If you are unsure of what colors look good on you, find the models with your coloring and go for that . The jacket or top in colors that look good on you are key to looking great!
Good Luck!
Dear Glam Gals,
I have enjoyed your website tremendously. I do have a question regarding the recent trend to “unmatch” items. It seems that it is “in” right now to have shoes not match the bag and also to have almost mismatched items in an outfit. For example, I have seen leopard print shoes (brown and black) with a bright red dress and black belt (I would have gone with a black or red shoe). If I still match, does it make me look dated and out of fashion? The term “matchy-matchy” has been used. How do we know when to match and when not to?
Thanks,
TC
Hi, TC! We agree that this can be a confusing issue. Matching clothes is really based on your own personal style. It’s a lot like how you might want to decorate your house. Some people like the mixed-matched Shabby Chic look and others like an upscale, contemporary, monochromatic look. However, you are on the right track just by being inspired and seeing how stylists in magazines are putting outfits together.
It's all about personal style
Your description above with the leopard print shoe with bright red dress and black belt sounds right on track! One note of caution: If you are going to wear that leopard print shoe, leave the print at that. Don’t go buying the matching purse or belt.
A pattern made up of neutrals can be used to accent any solid bright color.
Moreover, when trying to wear a bright color shoe, do NOT match it with the same color bag. The idea is to have a fun “pop” of color, and not overdo it. If you want to keep it monochromatic, keep the colors subtle by using neutrals like white, tan, black, or grey. A bright yellow, red, or bright blue from head to toe is just too much!
Ellen as the new face of Covergirl
Looking radiant in a black pantsuit, Ellen DeGeneres, looks like she is thinking, “yeah, life is good!”
Over at Perezhilton.com, it was just announced, that Ellen is thrilled to be featured as the new covergirl for Covergirl & Olay, Simply Ageless foundation.
How nice to see some diversity in advertising and we agree with Perez, “…She looks damn good!”
I have a confession to make (JoJami here…)
I was TOTALLY STUMPED this weekend… I had a daytime, holiday party to go to and boy, did I have to work hard to find just the right thing to wear…
It seems that every time the weather changes or I have an event to go to are the times that I struggle with what to wear.
This party I was invited to was a cookie exchange party with a twist. You had to bring your cookie dough and bake cookies at the party, while enjoying martinis! Fun concept, but hard to imagine what to wear…. It seemed on the one hand, I should dress casual for the cooking part, while drinking cocktails with the girls, I wanted to look chic, but not too dressy.
But wait, there was one more caveat… My girlfriend that was also going to the party, called me a few days before, to ask me what I was going wear and I told her DEFINITELY NOT JEANS, but probably a skirt of some kind.
Well, one of my rules to myself is, when I tell someone what I’m wearing, I better wear it!!! So of course it was a 1/2 hour before the party, I was in the closet and the clothes were flying all over the place, and all the skirts just seemed too dressy, it was a really cold day and I wanted to be comfortable! OH, how I wished I could wear my jeans, but my friend was probably already on her way, and I could call her to tell her that I had changed my mind. (Ends up that NO ONE wore jeans, so it was a good thing I didn’t!)
Anyway…. I floundered along and did find a casual dress to wear and I felt comfortable and that I dressed perfectly appropriate for the party!
So here is a Glam Plan on how to look comfortable but chic for an afternoon holiday party!
1. Plan ahead! Don’t just pick out what you want to wear, try it on and make sure it looks good and you have all the accessories you need.
2. Start your outfit with what shoes you want to wear. If you know your going to be doing alot of standing at the party, think twice about those killer heels. Boots are great for this time of year, low or high, you can still pair them with a skirt, pants or leggings
3. Fabrics should be cozy and comfortable (colorful cashmere comes to mind!)
4. Invest in a beautiful top or jacket. If you’re out shopping for an outfit, so as not to go into overload, start with one piece that stands out to you. It could be a pretty jacket, sweater or again, you can start in the shoe department.
5. Beware of going for the same look you always wear. Search catalogs and magazines first, to get a fresh idea of how to pair 2 pretty colors or a new type of look. (Did any of you happen to see Nicole Kidman on Oprah the other day…. we LOVED her outfit!) Her purple suede jacket with a tank top the exact color as her hair, pencil jeans and matching heels!! Perfection and not too hard to duplicate!)
Just jeans, heels and a jacket - but it's perfect!
Here is my outfit, that I was so comfortable in. I admit, grey is not my best color, but I tried to liven it up with the scarf, and overall, I think it was a good casual look for this type of party. (In case you are wondering…yes, that is a paper plate I am “modeling”) Also, I have a new hair do AGAIN!!!
The scarf and belt completed the look
Wondering how to dress after 40 to look sexy and hip, but still age appropriate? Buy yourself a pair of tall boots! Be they high heeled or flat, boots that cover your calves and sit just below the knee are alluring, chic, and ageless.
Here are 9 Top Tips for How to Wear Tall Boots:
1. When wearing pants tucked into flat boots make sure the boot is tight enough around the calf, so there’s no gap. Any gaping will make your legs look twice as bulky.
2. Boots are most flattering to the leg when they go all the way up to the knee like these chic Croc boots. Be picky, don’t buy a boot that is 2/3 length, unless you will be only wearing them under pants.
3. A suede boot will always be the best choice for comfort.
4. If you have large calves, choose a pair of these Viva Spiga rouge boots with hidden elastic goring that adds stretch at the 15 inch circumference collar.
5. Avoid boots with too many straps or too much bling on them. A simple classic boot looks more elegant and age appropriate and won’t date as fast.
6. For comfort, a wedge heeled boot is a great option. You’ll be able to walk for miles in comfort and still look tall!
7. The newest style of boot has an asymetrical cuff at the top of the boot. It’s a very youthful look and is meant to be worn with a more casual outfit. If you want to give it a try, wear your flat cuffed boots with jeans. Don’t spend too much on these boots as they are super trendy and might not be the “in look” next year.
8. Don’t forget to pair your boots with tights for a modern look. Nylons are too lightweight and will make you look dated. Black tights (or leggings) would be great these gorgeous black suede boots. Your tights should match the color of your boots in order to elongate your legs and make them look lean and sexy!
9. The slimmer the outfit the slimmer, the finer the boot. For example, a slim skirt and chunky, heavy boot like these DON’T mix. Best to save these for pants.
We woman over 40 have been ignored for too long, but it looks like thing might be changing!
Michelle Obama on The View
It seems Michelle Obama has just the right combination of practicality and style sense to finally get the attention of designers. In fact, designer Elie Tahari has made Michelle his muse.
According to a recent article from the Wall Street Journal, Boomer style (actually she is a Generation Jones) has been ignored for too long, but designers and retailers just might be seeing the light. We mature women as a collective have the money and the taste, and just need the clothes! So why have we been ignored?
According to the article, “One factor that makes mature women tough to please is that, as a group, they wear a wide range of sizes. They lean toward colorful, trendy styles, but they don’t want to look like teenyboppers. They also want clothes that flatter their aging bodies – dresses that cover their arms, pants that are slimming and comfortable. And they don’t have time to graze malls as younger women do and so want sales associates to help navigate the clutter of clothes they often find in stores.”
We, Glam Gals at Fabulous after 40, have been shouting this message for years…FINALLY, thanks to Mrs. Obama, designers and retailers are finally perking up their ears.
Lets hope that we will start seeing more styles to be marketed to our demographic and if we could wave a magic wand, maybe even have over 40 models wearing the clothes in the ads!!!
We are all busy working out and keeping our bodies fit, but what about our brains?

Thinking ahead to Christmas and wondering what to wear? Here are 4 Holiday Dressing Tips to make you look fabulous after 40.
Try not to buy black
By this time in your life, haven’t you bought enough little black dresses?? Why not break out of the rut and dare to buy something with some color in it! That way, you won’t be just one more dress in a sea of black, and you will look festive and fun! We would love to challenge you to just go out there and “try” not to buy black. You will find it’s harder than you think!!
Don’t reveal too much skin
The biggest mistake we see mature woman make is that they buy holiday outfits that are in style, but that don’t look good on bodies that are aging. That means the ever popular strapless dresses are generally a No No! As we age, our arms are one of the first places to start sagging. Be aware of this and take action! Go for a deeper neckline, but see if you can find a dress or top that has wide straps, or that has some fabric over the shoulders that covers up the arms.
Think Legs
This season you can get overwhelmed with the choices of dress lengths. What should you do? We think you should be honest with yourself about your legs! If your legs are still looking great, don’t cover them up. Show them off! Don’t hide under long skirts that make you feel matronly. However, if your legs are not your best feature, just skip the dress and go for a wonderful pant suit. You can still look festive and hip in a pant suit if you look for a fabric that is elegant and shiny. Be sure to wear the right shoes and accessorize it!
Invest in a Shaper
If you choose a dress made of clingy fabric or that is body hugging GREAT! However, make sure you keep the bulges to a minimum! There are so many brands of shape wear out there, you will be thrilled with the choices and instant smoothing results! Most boutiques carry the ever popular Spanx line, but there are many more out there too, like Cass and Co, Sassybax and Slimpressions.
Is there a part of you that you have always wanted to express to the world, but just never have? Do you have an inner biker chick or something else just waiting to emerge?
Then it’s time to get in touch with your wild side and bring some fun back into the way you dress, so you don’t end up looking and feeling like a dowdy little old lady.
Why not get noticed for the delicious dynamite that you are – and use clothes to do it! Here are 5 easy tips to help you find the real you!
1) Trail blaze a path to you inner style
First, you must be open to a change now, not 10 pounds from now. Finding clothes that fit the body you are currently sporting is important and can help improve self-esteem.
Next, do your research. Look around for inspiration. Do you know someone who always seems pulled together and looks great? Take note of what she has on and shop for something similar. If you feel out of touch and don’t want to end up looking like your 14 year old daughter or 90 year old grandmother, then hire a personal shopper to help show you which current styles would look good on your body type. If it is not in your budget, try asking a friend whose style you admire to go with you.
Are you feeling too conservative and want to try something sexy and and different. Why not try adding a leather jacket, skirt or pants. If leather is just too way out for you, try suede. It has a softer look and feel. Leathers and suede come in lots of colors. Pastel suedes mellow what normally might be considered edgy. When pairing your new item with a conservative counterpart, the look can be surprisingly classy and perfectly acceptable at work. Better still – on the weekend leather or suede, can be worn with jeans and a quality t-shirt.
2) Shop somewhere new
If you’re still shopping at the same stores, in the same departments, why not shake things up a bit? Step out of your comfort zone and try shopping somewhere new. Small boutique stores tend to carry the most current styles and updated merchandise. They also carry small designer brands, so when you buy something, you are sure to look unique in your new outfit.
Chances are that even if you spend a bit more than you’re used to, you will find something you love and adore. You will wear it many more times than just another cheap, boring item from a sale rack. We like to call this price per wear. If you average the amount you spend on an item by the number of times that you wear it, it can justify the original expense.
For example, you may find a funky faux fur vest at a local boutique. Try pairing it with some jeans to run around town in. This one piece may be a bit more expensive than what you would normally purchase but if you absolutely fall in love with it you will wear it frequently. It will be worth the price.
Be careful of sale items that end up hanging in our closet with the tags still on them? Sale items are the trickiest to buy, since the price can woo you into buying an item that you don’t necessarily love and adore and then never wear. It’s always better to hold off and find that next special piece.
3) Life should not be about blending in
It’s time to sizzle, not fade away. Why not shake things up and shoot some color into your wardrobe? This spring you’ll see lots of bright and cheery hues vying for your attention. This is an easy way to add some much needed punch to your closet. Even if you love black, with just a dash of color from a new spring top, purse, shoes or scarf, you can go from dull to dashing in an instant. However, buyers beware! Not all colors look good on all people. If in doubt, drape the item near your face and analyze how it complements your hair, eyes and complexion. Still not sure? A good rule of thumb is that the color should not wash you out, or be so loud you see it before you see you. This is important in making an outfit work for you.
4) Fear of letting go
One of the biggest hurdles to overcome can be all those clothes stuffed in your closet. It’s time to pull up your bootstraps, roll up your sleeves and start kicking booty! We mean get rid of all those old, boring, tired and ill-fitting things. Most women have a closet full of clothes they don’t like or never wear. If you remove those items out of your closet, you’ll have a much better idea of what you really need to buy to keep your closet fresh and inspired!
5) On the road to a great hair day
Let’s face it, if you are still sporting a style that you’ve had for the last 15 years, think again. It just might be time for a change of gears! You can buy the latest clothes and accessories, however if your hairstyle is dated, you will look dated. How do you know when you need a new do? Your first step is to make an appointment with a reputable hair salon.
Ask to book a consultation with one of the top stylists. It might take a few weeks to get a space, but it will be worth the wait. Don’t be shy to go for some color and a new cut or style. If you’ve been sporting a short look for a while, it might be time to let your hair down and grow it out!
Finally, dressing like a biker chick isn’t for everyone, but you probably have a wilder side to you that is waiting to be expressed. With a little effort you can rev up your wardrobe and start dressing with more flair and pizazz. Dress like you are a force to be reckoned with and see if you’re not feeling stronger and more ambitious each day. Embrace all your style…It’s not about just one look. It’s about finding a style that reflects the inner you. Have fun!
What ’s Madonna trying to say with this crazy green grass dress she wore recently??….looks like she needs to be mowed!

We think having a really great pair of nice designer sunglasses will always kick up the Glam quotient, but when you go and drop $250 or more on sunglasses, don’t you want them to at least be protecting your eyes?
We found out recently that Kate Spade sunglasses have 100 % UVA protection , so you can look hip and still protect your eyes from the sun’s harmful rays! Other brands that have Polarized lenses are:
You can also check out www.greatshades.com to get your glasses polarized!
So before shelling out a lot of money for glasses, make sure that they are at least Polarized.
If you know of any other brands…please pass them along and comment below!
HI, JoJami here, from beautiful Palm Beach, Florida!
I live in the northeast, and planning to travel south, to Florida….deciding what to pack, was a daunting task! When living in freezing cold and knowing that I would be basking in 70 to 80 degree weather for a week, was something I had a hard time getting my head around!
Now that I’m down here, I thought you might enjoy, some interesting tips on what to bring and what to leave home!
What to wear on the plane:
LAYER! Because it was so cold when I left, I wore a Bebe sport jogging outfit with 2 layers of tops. The first layer was a sleeveless tank top and I put a long sleeve t-shirt over that. Then I had the matching jacket. My shoes were short boots, but I had some flat sandals stuffed in my carry on, so when I got there, I could switch them out. Off went the jacket and the long sleeve t-shirt as well!
What went in my suitcase:
- Several flat sandals and some high heels and some tennis shoes.
- Several little dresses for dinner
- A wrap, that went with them
- My Susan Bigsby twin set (my black top and red cardigan)
- Sunglasses
- workout clothes and a baseball cap
- All my good jewelry (Lots of good jewelry is big down here, the more the merrier!)
- 1 pair of casual shorts
- Bathing suit and cute cover-up
What I didn’t bring and wish I would have:
- A pair of white pants, jeans or peddle pushers. (Yes, you can wear white after labor day down here… everyone does!) I had no idea that everyone still wore white… I sure wish I would have brought some because you feel so fresh and classy in white!
- A cashmere cardigan or pullover in a nice bright color! I would have worn this at night out to dinner.
- More bright colors…. everyone wears fun, bright, tropical colors down here!
- Bring on the BLING BLING… if you have some sandals with jewels , or bag or belt with some rhinestones, get them out and bring them…why not wear something sparkly..when you never get to at home!!!
If you love to travel south or to the islands, please comment and tell us your favorite thing to bring! Cheers!

As frivolous as it might be in these tough economic times, we are surprised at all the attention the media is giving to the first lady’s wardrobe. However, we are secretly gloating that the press is so fascinated with Michelle Obama’a sense of style and fashion!
(Photo courtesy of Chris Greenberg)
Her husband is all about change, and Michelle Obama is obviously changing things up as to how a first lady needs to dress! One thing is for sure, we LOVE the direction Michelle Obama is taking. She’s twirling that fashion baton right around to what has been called “real world style”! She has been consistent with wearing updated classic styles with just the right amount of jewelry. She has not shied away from color and sure looks good in it! Even on a recent date night in Chicago, she was reported at Mrs.O.org to be looking effortlessly chic, in a black swing coat, over sized clutch and hair neatly pulled back !
Spohisticated (first) Lady!
