Is your hairstyle making you look out of date?

When you are looking to re-invent your career or style, first thing you should look at is your hair do! If it is out of date, then your entire image will look out of date!

That goes for your address book too…do you use a PDF or still using a Rolodex?

Hi Ladies:

My husband and I recently went to see the movie It’s Complicated.  Loved everything about it.  Loved Meryl’s fashion style.  But really noted her Jewelry .  Would you ladies have any idea who makes it?  Would love something similar.

Hi Ellen,

The word “swimsuit” to almost anyone over the age of 25 can send chills up our spines! However, we like your “rockin” attitude and think we can help!

Can you be sexy when your over 40…you bet! Just have to know the right tricks!

First off, there are no rules how old you must be to wear a 2 piece; you just have to have to be on the thin side…

However, to be honest, most women on the late side of 40 are starting to look better in a one piece. Never fear.. you can still be sexy!!

• Show off  those legs with a high cut suit
• If your legs are not looking so great either, you can always go for the cleavage!
• Go for a suit that has a large pattern. This confuses the eye and can hide bugles!
• You can never go wrong with an all back suit!

This is just 1 of 9 luscious Sue Devitt products you could win!

Every month we give away prizes and this month is no exception…however we want to introduce you to a new make up line that we are super excited to share with you!

Sue Devitt is a make up artist with a twist…all her makeup is natural and inspired from nature! It is so beautiful and will make your skin radiant!

Here is her latest adventure:

Deborah and I have been on the look out for all these years for the perfect line of jewelry that we thought had the Glam Gals seal of approval.

Here it is:

Stella and Dot is high quality fashion jewelry and we don’t think you can go wrong with any of the pieces!

Here are a few of our favorites:

This chunky gold bracelet is very light weight, yet looks rich and elegant!

This colorful necklace can really brighten up a blah outfit!

It’s that time of year when JoJami and I look out our windows into the cold gray landscape and think, “We’ve got to get out of these heavy, dull winter clothes, or we’re going to suffocate.”

So, what does one wear to feel happy and alive, when it’s still freezing out there, and wearing bare sleeves and bare legs would look absolutely ridiculous?

Color… for one… something lightweight, but not silly thin.. and sleeves, preferably…. if you can find them!!! ( near impossible these days)

Enter Spring’s new bright, bold and graphic jersey shift dresses. Wow, did we get excited when we saw these online!  They’re bursting with color, are in fun happy prints, and they have sleeves..yes!

Never mind that they’re showing them worn with bare legs and sandals. Just throw on a pair of dark tights and cute flats and you’ll be good to go.

And they’re so comfy…… the perfect thing to wear when you’re still working on shedding those few extra pounds left over from Christmas, so you can be ready for bathing suit season.  Here are a few of our favorite picks from Nordstroms:

Paisley gone crazy: A modern update on an old fashioned pattern makes traditional look hip. Brown with white is an ideal color combo to transition into Spring. (Nordstroms)
Edgy: Black and electric blue give this one cool sharpness. You don’t need jewelry. This dress does all the talking.(Nordstroms)
Caribbean: Can’t you just feel that tropical breeze? This one reminds us of an island getaway at March break! (Nordstroms)
Arsty: Looks like someone took the kid’s Spiro Giro to it. The rounded neckline is flattering to all. Graphic and gorgeous! (Nordstroms)
60’s vibe: Never say never! It’s short, but if you have long shapely legs this Tory Burch dress worn with thick, dark tights and flats or cute boots, will make you look  chic.(Nordstroms)
On the Border: Beautiful Bordering at the V neckline, sleeves and hem give this an extra punch. For those who don’t like boatnecks, the V is a great option. It makes any neck look longer and your body look leaner!(Nordstroms)

This is just one topic of many that are being discussed over at this weeks Blogging Boomers Carnival.  If you are new to our site, every week we link to some of the top Bloggers in the country who share with us their stories with various topics!

This week the Carnival is being hosted over at The Baby Boomer Entrepreneur. You should stop on over and if you feel so moved, even make a comment or two. We think you will find lots of food for thought!

Catherine Zeta-Jones always tries to look her best!

Here is an inspiring headline we saw recently:

Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones doesn’t dress down – even when she does the food shopping.

Catherine Zeta-Jones commented: I owe it to my fans to wear my best when I go to the supermarket.

The Glam Gals have chatted endlessly about what to wear to the grocery store and we feel the same way as Catherine does; there is no reason not to try to look your best when you go out.

That being said, you can still look great and be comfortable, but it takes some strategy.

First you need to have your “going to the grocery store” outfit all ready.

This outfit should consist of:

• cute but comfortable shoes or flat boots
• stretch pants or stretch dress
• coordinating stretch top
• if your having a bad hair day, then you will need a cute cap

The fun part is gathering all the pieces, and then finding a special hook or spot where the entire outfit is always ready to go.

Most women don’t need more than 1 going to the grocery store outfit per season, since you rarely run into the same person when you’re out.

However, If you shop a lot ,you may want to have a 2 or 3 slightly different versions of your shopping outfit. So instead of creating one going shopping outfit you would create a going shopping module.   Modules are a way of dressing that save you tons of time and money while giving you more versatility. To find out more about how to create your own wardrobe modules you can read our ebook Chic on the Cheap- How to create a wardrobe on a budget.
