As one of the first baby boomers ever born…just two months after WWII ended, I try to keep fit and love fashion on a budget.
Tips For Women over 50:
* Stay healthy and do three things to maintain a good, pleasing, healthy weight.
EAT LESS
EAT BETTER
EXERCISE MORE
* Being a normal weight does more for your fashion sense than anything. If you look good in clothes you can wear almost anything and look stylish. If you’re overweight by a ton, THAT’S what people see, not your fancy, expensive outfit.
* Wear jeans, no matter how old you are. Jeans are the most comfortable, most stylish things a woman can slide over her fanny. My darling step-mother, age 86, wears jeans nearly every day with the most stylish tops and her gold jewelry and she looks like a million bucks.
* Shop at upscale consignment stores. So what if the fashions are one season behind? If you look good in them the fashion police will not even give you a warning ticket.
* Avoid all tops with a knit band around the bottom at all costs. They scream “Old-fashioned.”
* Avoid all tops with words written on them like “World’s Best Grandma.”
* Avoid all knit tops with flowers, butterflies, birds or any “cutsy” picture that screams “I’m old and I still have doilies all over my furniture and I still perm my hair into tight grandma curls and I don’t care how I look.”
* Remember…a big smile is your best make-up feature. And when it comes to make-up in your later years, LESS IS MORE. Smile and glow from within.
* Exercise every day. The daily exercise will create the inner glow. I’m 65 and I bike 10-20 miles 4-5 times a week and do water aerobics every day six days a week March thru November. I feel good and know that having a wrinkle or two is my badge of honor from having “been there, done that”. I raised four great kids as a single parent. Now that’s a face wrinkle I can be proud of! I also live in Florida where it’s easy to exercise outdoors. But if you live in cold country…get in the exercise habit at a gym or bundle up and walk with a friend.
