Tips from Fashion Writer Brenda Kinsel on Looking Younger after 40

Turning 40 doesn’t mean you have to “let yourself go.”  You have a splendor inside, and fashion writer, Brenda Kinsel, knows how to help you bring this to the outside where everyone can see the beautiful you.  Fashion for women over 40 just requires you to do it your way or “half-way.”  If you are seeing sky-high platforms, look for a moderate height version or try the wedge sole.  Is the latest trend for heavy hardware and pockets all over handbags?  Look for the simpler rendition.  Looking younger after 40 means you understand the trends, but you aren’t ruled by them.

Here are some more of Brenda’s tips on looking and dressing younger after 40:

1. Love what you wear, wear what you love.  Wearing a sweater that is delicious to you cheers you up by just being inside of it.  It celebrates life… your life.  Wearing a sweater that you’re neutral about or bugs you - because it itches, has got a hole in it that you never got around to mending, or has faded - is nothing but a downer.  When it comes to clothes, love it or leave it out of your wardrobe rotation.
   
   
2. Dress your body graciously with no regard whatsoever to sizes.  Divorce yourself from numbers on hang tags and dress yourself for the body you are in currently.  Shop for and wear apparel that fits you right now.  Your essence is not a “6,” a “12,” or an “18”.  You are a fabulous person and what matters is that you look fabulous in your clothes.
   
   
3. Use accessories (scarves, bags, belts and jewelry) to add emphasis and draw the eye to the areas you most want to highlight.  A soft scarf or earrings that dangle and move will draw attention to pretty eyes, a warm smile or that chic haircut.
