MORE Magazine Re-Invention Convention

This year’s More Magazine Re-Invention Convention was a hot spot to be for inspiration to help you get out of your safe box and dream to do something new!

We go to a lot of events and we were super impressed with the way these ladies decked themselves out to look and feel fabulous! Here are some great examples of How to Look Age-mazing™ and their personal tips on how they feel about dressing.

Mildred Bean is a life empowerment coach with lots of confidence. We love the bright green jacket paired with brown pants and her stylish well groomed hair and make up!

Oh we don’t want to overlook the fab shoes…

 

What a great example of looking the part of a successful, up-to-date woman!

Here is Lori Northcott using pattern to stand out in a crowd! We saw lots of boots, one of this seasons MUST haves. Once again, her hair is updated and looks so chic. Lori claims, “I eat healthy, exercise and am lucky to have good genes!”

Elizabeth Flavin is the founder/owner of www.GratitudeEtc.com. She really ‘wowed’ us with her classic elegant style. She says, “I buy what I love, and keep trying to re-invent myself!” Her jewelry is sure classic and elegant as well!

Next up we met Janice Innis-Thompson who is presently working as a lawyer. She looks very professional, and pulled together, but look at the way she uses color! How fresh! She swears by, “Lots of sleep, exercise and Yoga!”

Kari Sciera is a gym teacher from Boston. This pretty blond, told us that she really worked hard to find the right dress to wear to this event. So she was rightfully proud of her new purchase of an Alice and Olivia dress!

She took it one step further and even changed out the belt so that it would look better with her boots. She is a “new” 40 and really showed her confident personality, with this chic look!

Bottom line: This group of ladies got our vote to be on the Glam Gals’ Best Dressed List!

Looking Youthful with Universal Style

How do you stay true to your own personal style but still look modern and youthful?

Just introduce a little more sportiness into your wardrobe.

What are we talking about…At this year’s AICI conference (Association of Image Consutlants International) we got the chance to hear Alyce Parson, founder of the Universal Style System speak about this.

A bit of background about her system. Alyce says you can’t know your style unless you know yourself. So she quizzes her clients on preferred colors, fabrics, fits, hairstyles as well as their goals and message they want to deliver. The answers you give determine what style is really you. You can be

• Feminine: Soft and Romantic-Jayne Seymour, Princess Diana
• Elegant: Refined and Stately-Diane Sawyer, Jacqueline Smith
• Classic: Conservative and Businesslike-Hillary Clinton, Jane Pauley
• Dramatic: Fashionable and Sophisticated- Diana Ross, Iman
• Creative: Original and Artistic-Sarah Jessic Parker, Madonna
• Sporty:Friendly and Casual -Jane Fonda, Christie Brinkley
• Alluring: Sexy and Glamorous-Sharon Stone, Demi Moore

Most people are a combo or 2 or three styles. For example with us, I (Deborah) am Elegant and Dramatic and JoJami is Alluring-Elegant.

Some styles naturally lend themselves to a more youthful look and some don’t.  ie: Elegant and classic can look old sometimes as we age, so to make these styles more youthful, add a dash of sporty. Turn up that collar, push up those sleeves. Take that perfect elegant look or that serious business style and make it a tad more relaxed and friendlier.

Apparently, adding a touch of femininity is another way to keep you looking youthful. You don’t have to run out and buy a wardrobe of frills but Alyce says that femine touches like soft colors, pinks and peaches to compliment your skin can give you a lovely soft glow.

Alyce herself is a gorgeous Elegant-Alluring. We snapped a photo of her for you because at 60+ she has fabulous style and looks absolutely Age-mazing™!
