Found In Nature Flowers

Feeling like you need a quick midlife lift to look like a Boomer Babe? Here are 5 simple fashion tips that can help you look Fabulous after 40, in under 10 minutes.

1.Lower your Neckline An easy way to turn back the clock a few years is to open up your neckline. Steer clear of tops and t-shirts that sit at the collarbone and opt for lower rounded necklines and v-necks. Another great option is to try a wrap top which will create the illusion of sexy. If you find that too low, just add a camisole to peek out at the V. A chunky necklace also helps to fill in the bareness and make you look fabulous after 40.

2. Forgo the Frosted Make up. It's no help that the makeup companies just love to put frost in everything from eye shadow to blush to lipstick to bronzer. But, although it's tempting to wear some shimmer, be forewarned...If you are over 40 you will find that frosted eye shadow really shows up all the little fine lines and creases. If you must, just dab it on right below the brow, for a nice evening shimmer, but other than that, you'd be smart to steer clear.

3. Pull Your Shirt Out If you are over 40 and haven't had liposuction you are sure to have a bit of a belly so just remember, chic women don't tuck in. Tucking your shirt in will accentuate your stomach and make you look dumpy. If you worry that an untucked top will look loose and messy, then you are wearing the wrong top. Try a more fitted t-shirt that follows the curves of your body shirt no matter what your size. A loose shirt pulled out on a size 2 or 24 will only make you look square and boxy.

3. Pass on Small Prints Conjure up an image of a little dowdy little old lady and you probably visualize a granny in a tiny flower print dress. Small prints (especially ones with little flowers) can look really matronly, especially after 40. And, if you have some meat on your bones, small prints will make you look really fat too. Got the picture?

3. Heave-Ho to Small Hot Rollers Are you still using small hot rollers? Then your hair probably looks out of date! The style today is wavy and loose and is best accomplished with extra large rollers or gently wrapping sections of your air around a curling iron. A 1940'S wave reminiscent of Veronica Lake is the all the rage this fall, so be sure you loosen up those locks to look stylish after 40.
