1. “Mom Jeans”

They’re so unpleasant that they were made fun of on SNL. For those of you that don’t know what “mom jeans” are, they have a high waist (right below your bra line), are usually a washed denim, and are way too tight. Levi’s have jeans that hit just below the waist and come in great styles such as bootcut. They’re made for a woman’s body, so you won’t feel like you bought them out of the Junior’s department.

2. Letting it all hang out.

Some women out there still think they can one up their daughter and look good as well. And usually a little too much cleavage or leg is shown. There’s better ways to look sexy without showing anything. Wear a flattering bootcut pant with a button down silk blouse. Or a pencil skirt instead. You’ll still turn heads, without causing a stir.

3. Dressing too young.

There’s a difference between “letting it all hang out” and “dressing too young”. Women who dress too young may not show their body parts, but they still feel that since they fit in Junior’s, they can still wear it. Wrong. Don’t be afraid to shop in the Misses or at trendy stores geared towards older women. You’re guaranteed to find trendy clothing without looking silly.

4. Going out in public with curlers in your hair.

That’s a fashion no-no! Curlers are to wear at home or in bed. NEVER got out in public with your curlers on unless you really forgot to take them out. Otherwise, there’s no excuse to not care.

5. Wearing clothes that don’t flatter your figure.

Women, if something is too tight or too big, don’t wear it. Get rid of it! It’s time to get some clothes that skim your body perfectly.

6. Controlling what’s underneath your clothes.

It could be either be your stomach or your breasts or both that don’t look right under that sweater you’re wearing. Instead, go shopping for the right bra and get sized if you’re not sure of what size you wear. It’s important to know your bra size!!!!! 1 out 8 women don’t know what their bra size is. And there are department stores and specialty shops that will help size you and help you find the right bra. If you need to control your stomach or any other area, shop around for shapwear. Brands like Spanx and Lipo in a Box with help you conceal your flaws without feeling tight on you.

7. Wearing too much jewelry.

I don’t know what you’re trying to hide, but covering yourself up with too much jewelry from head to toe is ridiculous. You’ll only need a few key pieces such as a watch or necklace to make a statment.

8. Wearing too much make-up.

Just like wearing too much jewelry, you can wear too much make-up. Especially when a woman gets older, it seems like she tries to cover up her lines and wrinkles with more make-up. But it doesn’t work…That make-up is actually showing those lines and wrinkles. Go for the natural look and experiment with skin care lines if you’re still feeling self-conscious.

9. Letting go of your looks. (Beauty and fashion-wise.)

There are those women who think since they’re aging, they shouldn’t look like the beautiful selves they once were. Not so. There’s no need to go out in public looking like you don’ t know what’s happening in the world of fashion. You’re out in your tank top and sweats with your unbrushed hair. You can look so much better than that if you put some effort. Just because you’re older doesn’t mean you should lose your fashion sense. Fashion has no age.

10. Dressing too old.

Just like with “losing your looks”, women can end up dressing too old as well. They think since they’re older, they have to look the part of the “grandmother”. You can still look trendy and dress your age. Again, shop the Misses department. You’ll be surprised at what you can find and what will look good on you if you’d only try.

I’m not trying to be mean or rude, I really feel bad for these types of women. I just want to help because I care!!!!!!
