Sexy vs. Age Inappropriate Fashion
As I attempt to replenish my wardrobe I want a new fresh look, I can’t decide what look I am trying to achieve. I don’t need stretch pants nor do I need to conceal a big belly or super wide hips anymore. I want sophisticated, mature & sexy, but I’m not sure what that looks like on my 5′9", 47 year old, 148 lbs frame. Last year after losing 25 pounds I shopped in the juniors department for jeans b/c the jeans were inexpensive. It was so exciting to put on a size that I hadn’t seen since my 20’s. It was a temporary fix. I have had some of my skirts taken in and have purchased a couple pairs of Anne Taylor slacks. However, I need a complete overhaul on my 9 to 5 and after 5 attire. I like a tailored look, but would like a little pizazz. If only I could wear yoga pants and a fitted tee for every occasion–life would be so simple. How can I get on one of those fashion makeover shows?

Okay–I have the same problem. I’ve overhauled my workout/training clothes and they look great. I have shoes to match shirts, shorts, tights, etc. But my everyday needs help. I started with nice dark jeans, added heels, and cute blazers/jackets. I’ve even started wearing vests. They’re cute and fitted. Still building, but it’s a start.
