15 Things I Learned at 52

Style is forever and fashion fades so with this in mind I present 15 Things I Learned at 52:

1.     Turquoise eye shadow is  not ever a good idea.
2.      Thirty is the cut-off age for wearing mini skirts.
3.      Stay away from ripped and torn jeans.
4.      Mid-rise dark-rinse denim is your new best friend.
5.      If you wore it the first time it’s not for you the second time around.
6.      5 or 6 lipsticks total are all you need.
7.      Only wear red lipstick if it suits you.
8.      Dark lipstick is not your friend post-40.
9.      The shoes make the outfit.
10.      Low-hanging earrings aren’t attractive. (Better a modest stud than a torn earlobe.)
11.      A woman shouldn’t ever apologize for her existence.
12.      You should leave the era before it leaves you.
13.      Wire coat hangers? Of course not.
14.      Smile more…you’ll feel better.
15.      Who you are matters more than what you wear.
