This is about what you look like and what you can afford to look like. Expensive makeup worth it? How to apply fake eyelashes and “bling” does not make you look expensive. Lots of tips to make you look chic without depleting your checkbook!

I love looking through these kind of books and I just requested them from the library (while eating my Greek yoghurt!) As for not looking old I think short gray hair just screams "I'm old and no longer care." But I may be wrong. Looking forward to reading these, thanks for the tips!
ReplyDeleteI'm really intrigued by the "Top 25 Clothes That Just Gotta Go!" Am guessing overalls, Crocs, stirrup pants, acid-washed jeans, "mom" jeans, and anything that doesn't actually fit the wearer as a good starting point!
