Do you keep spending money on clothes and accessories, but still feel like you have nothing to wear?

If so—you’re not alone. The fashion world doesn’t give mature women the tools and self awareness they need to look and feel beautiful.

Join us with our special guest, Carol Tuttle, author of Dressing Your Truth

Instead, we’re led to believe that no matter what your age, or size, or personality every style out there should look good on every woman, and that’s just not true!

That’s the reason we often look in the mirror and think -I am too fat!” and 2— “I am too old!”

We say… “Ridiculous!”

True beauty starts with finding out who you really are and dressing accordingly. In other words, finding a style that is Totally, Absolutely, Authentically you!!!

We want to help you with that. That’s why we recently interviewed our friend, Carol Tuttle – author of  Dressing Your Truth®  on the topic -Dressing the Real Me- How to find your true style at 40, 50 and beyond!

One of our clients was very excited that she was going to have  an article written about her for a local paper. She had hired a PR person to get her the press and the big day for her photo shoot was just 2 days away.

She called at the last minute to get some feedback on what she should wear. One of the first things you should always do before any photo shoot is take the time to do a test shoot. That means putting on the entire outfit you plan to wear and then practice sitting or standing in different ways to find your best angle.

Our client is a very stylish interior designer , but as we soon found out , her outfits just did not photograph well. They looked great in person, but on camera they just did not translate the image that she felt she wanted to project.

Here are the 2 outfits she was considering wearing. (remember, this was just a test shoot, she did not have her hair or make up done for these)

We had her go back to her closet and pull a black skirt and top and layer it with this animal print cardigan. Here is the final shoot:

Just Picture Perfect!

Our client was smart to get some help from an expert and was so happy with the results.  IF you need some help on how to get on TV and what to wear once you do, check out our CD program , TV Image, Live! ~ How to get on TV and perform like a Star!

What kind of amazing personal transformations would be possible with her guidance, support, encouragement, and expert advice?

Are you looking to update your hairstyle? (photo credit/ More Magazine)

Here it is Spring and many of you have written us needing some inspiration on how to update your hair!

This week at More Magazine, they have some wonderful photos of  some great styles that we think you will love!

How do you know if you need a new do? Just ask yourself a few of these simple questions:

1) How long has it been since you tried something new?

2) Are you still using hot rollers?

3) Looking at these photos, are you feeling like you might need a change?

4) Have you been cutting your hair short for a long time? How about doing a 6 month plan and grow it out to chin length just for fun?

Don’t forget that this can be a great time to add some dimision to your hair and lighten it up a bit! Hair that is too dark can really age you!

Nothing like a fresh trim or cut to give your look a facelift! For more ideas check out these Fabulous After 40 hair makeovers!

Glasses with evening wear is not easy to pull off!

We recently posted some amazing before and after photos of several “average” looking women who in 12 short hours turned into eye popping goddesses!

With that, several of you commented that some of the women wore glasses in their “before” photos and then had them off in the after!

Well, one of the reasons that none of the women were wearing eyeglasses in the “after” is that they all had on evening gowns.

Let’s face it, wearing your everyday glasses with a formal gown in not an easy look to pull off, unless you’re Sophia Lauren!

However, you can still be fabulous with glasses on a daily basis.

Here are our tips on this eye popping subject!

1) If you wear glasses on a daily basis, make sure you have a pair that is updated and looks good with your style of dressing.

2) Decide if you want your glasses to be a fashion statement or not.

You hardly notice that Sarah Palin is wearing rimless glasses!

Rimless glasses are a conservative choice and literally “disappear”.  Sarah Palin is a good example of how to wear this style of eyeglasses.

3) If you are going to a formal event and have to wear your glasses, make sure to pick a dress that will be simple and not compete with your glasses.

4) If you have had your glasses for over 2 to 3 years, you should think about updating them.

Tina Fey looks chic and smart in these updated frames.

5) Glasses can be a way to express your creativity. If you are ready for a new pair, why not go out on a limb and try something that is colorful or a new style.

6) Know your face shape. Try on frames that will contrast with your face shape to balance you out. (e.g. If you have a long face, a more rounded frame will be best for you)

Just because you wear glasses does not mean that you can’t look chic or stylish. Just make sure that you have an entire look that is harmonious and that fits your lifestyle!

With updated hair, makeup and clothes, wearing glasses can be festive and fabulous!

Congratulations to Veronica Cruz from Albany, NY

She wrote in:

I would love an opportunity to win a ticket to the More Convention.  What an opportunity.  It could not happen at a better time.  Here is my story.

Right now, I’m coming out of a 14 year relationship that derailed many of my dreams.  Fortunately, I found the strength to find my way back to me.  In my wildest dreams did I imagine fifty could be so good?   After my divorce, I thought I would spend most of my remaining years raising my children and whatever was left, hope I would have enough money to manage my way through to eighty.  Today, I can’t even believe that is what I limited myself to.   I’m in the best shape I’ve been in years, I have a fabulous new boyfriend, and the cloud of apathy that followed me for a decade, is gone.  In past two years, I’ve focused much of my energy on reinventing my life, my work and my looks!  You be the judge!

This Age-Mazing gal (Veronica Cruz) is our winner!

Every chance I get to push the boundaries of my second act, I take it.  I long gave up the word NO.  That word is just wrong.  It should be banned.  Teenagers don’t like it, kids under the age of six use it too much, and most of all, like a vampire who’s just seen a cross, opportunity crumbles at its very mention.  I focus on positive relationships that respect my desire to be my best!  the Take my marriage for example.  Some might say it wasn’t all that bad.  I had two beautiful kids, nice clothes, a beautiful house, and no facial wrinkles!  But the foundation of my marriage was based on my unhappiness, and that is not the way to Athens.  I was always working double time hoping things would be different.   It was time to accept the brutal reality of my situation and move on.   And the best part of act two, was giving up second place.  I know, I know, today everyone’s a winner.  Hello, this is just not true.  Second place meant everyone else came first; everyone but me.  No matter what people tell you, everyone is not a winner and second place is not just as good as first.  Consistently putting others needs before yours leads to three things: resentment, frustration, and unhappiness.   And, I might add, poor aging.  If I’m good, the people around me are good.  And who are those people:  my kids.  Outside of that, first place is reserved for me to take care of me.  If there is any left over, well, I’m happy to share.

I wish I could share my story with more women.  Part two of our lives can be as interesting and energy filled as part one.  There is no denying there are more issues to manage, but overall, the second half is an opportunity to build on your first act and be even more incredible.  And how lucky are we to have all groups and organizations of women to turn to like Fabulous after Forty and More [magazine].  An opportunity to go to the More convention would give me the chance to expand my thinking on this topic and give me ideas on how I can further push the boundaries of my second act:  not to mention inspirational!

We are looking forward to meeting you and thanks to you all for sharing your stories! Feel free to keep on chatting, below! We want to hear from you all!

Cheers,

JoJami and Deborah

Katherine sent this photo and asked, "Does this look good on me?"

The grey and black layered and belted look, shows that she is up on her fashion trends, however we felt that we could dress her cute figure to flatter it a bit more. So we sent her some homework and asked her to send us what she came up with.

Here are the other options she sent us, for round 2:

	Even though it is an informal event, we think this outfit is way too casual if Kathryn wants to dress to impress! The layers hide all her curves, and the checker shirt and clunky shoes make her look very masculine. The long, light colored top is the wrong proportion on the body, and makes her legs look very short in comparison. This is definitely not a look we’d recommend.
	This look is much nicer! It looks classy and crisp, and the shapes flatter her figure.  The only point we’d make is that it’s just too conservative!  From the first outfit to this one, we’ve lost all Kathryn’s style sensibility.  Where’s the funky trendiness we saw in the first outfit?
	Finally, we think this outfit is a slam dunk!  The black belt pulls in the narrowest part of Kathryn’s body, and the fact that it’s all one color makes her look longer and leaner.  We have the boots again, however she had another pair in her closet that fit nicer and hug her leg, which adds a little sexiness to the outfit.  She added back in some of her personal style with the necklace and bracelets.  We believe this is the best outfit yet! Our only suggestion would be to add a little color into the ensemble.  Perhaps wear a bright colored blouse instead of the white to give your face some color.  Maybe try wearing a colorful scarf or holding a colored bag.  Adding a pop of color will give her outfit some visual interest, and help her stand out!
	Kathryn also sent us a picture of her coat.  Isn’t it adorable?  We love the winter white wool trench with the cinched waist and decorative vintage pin.  The A-line is a perfect cut for her too.  That just goes to show that even in sub zero weather, you can still look hot!

Here is a video about it.
