I never subscribed to micro-minis or plunging necklines. Trashy clothes don't suit anyone no matter what age. Also, depending on body type and tone of muscles, certain people can pull off certain clothes and styles. So, no one should adopt every trend. However, personally, I have moved from more classic, timeless clothes with muted and neutral colors to more trendy clothes and bright colors as I have matured. I feel that statement clothes and accessories take ones eyes off the body imperfections to the clothes/accessories and that helps. Also, older women look more current with some trendy clothes and accessories and less dated. Wonder what the rest of you and Angie think about trendy choices for older women as that goes against the usual guidelines given by stylists. I have been thinking about this lately.

I'm a 25 year old, pre-med student and I find myself drawn to tees and jeans, not the skinny jeans. But, I've been told that I am still dressing like a teenager but I don't want to wear heels and slacks every single day...especially if I'm not working. I'm stuck, on one hand I want to be comfortable, on the other hand I want to be seen as a conservative, classy adult...no matter if I want to wear heels or tennis shoes. Do you have any recommendations on the type of designers I should wear as well as what type of pieces I should consider to look like the adult I am? Thank you in advance, Bonnie First off, I loved the blog about dressing your age!

I have let my wardrobe evolve around my dress code for work - rugged, industrial, OSHA safe. I don't even own a pair of heels. But I would like to start dating again and I want to dress like the woman I am - intelligent, interesting, classy but not too classy. I don't even know where to start. Even with hair - long hair, short hair? You mentioned staying away from loud prints but I think a bold, floral print blouse with ruffles, worn with jeans would be fun. I live in the southwest, where we probably dress too casual. But I want to knock it up a notch from casual when I have a date (unless the date is a hike). Pants or dresses? I personally don't like the ballet slipper or stilletos. I don't need to show off any skin or cleavage. But I don't want to be dull. I’m 52 and still in good shape.

I usually have no problem picking out clothes or wondering what's too 'young' for me. If anything a lot of clothes are a little too on the 'mature' side. i’m 19…all i have to say is…it’s pretty freaking awesome to be this age =).

I want to make a change in my wardrobe, but it is harder then you think. I've tried on misses clothes and the waist feels like it goes up to your neck. I want to look more put together and mature. I dress pretty casual, so I do still shop in the juniors department. I don't like heels. How do I put together a look that is casual that is more mature looking? Where do I start? Prices usually scare me off also. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. I am turning 39 next month. I want to make a change in my wardrobe, but it is harder then you think.

My boyfriend of two years is considerably younger so I like to not dress "old". I have a very unique problem though. I never aquired my "grown up" figure. I still have to shop in the Jr. dept because I never got hips or heavier thighs. Women's size clothing is too big in the butt and thigh area and looks funny. Jr. size still fit nicely but trying to find more "age appropriate clothing in that department is difficult. I still wear jeans alot, but if I want to go out, it is difficult to find things.
