Spandex workout pants with a frumpy T shirt outside of the gym. This can make you look fat or foolish unless you work out as much as Cindy Crawford. But even she prefers a well-coordinated yoga outfit...pick workout wear that is neither clingy nor baggy but has about an inch of looseness like yoga pants with a color coordinated jacket.

A jacket with big shoulder pads tells people you are stuck in the 80s, or you are the member of “Dynasty fan club” (also 1980’s). There might be some classics in your closet that you can wear until you die, but this isn’t one of them.

Wear a fanny pack instead of a clutch or shoulder bag. Fanny packs make you look like you're out walking the dog, and ready to give treats to the neighborhood dogs (I do have couple nice older people do that in my neighborhood, my dogs loves them! :-) Seriously, fanny packs call too much attention to the middle and add unwanted bulges. This is the most unflattering look ever. If you are traveling the world, give me a call and I’ll tell you what stylish options you have to travel with your money and documents safe and your hands free.

Running shoes with jeans for events around town are only OK for grandmothers with bunions! Go ahead and wear jeans and comfy shoes to the market. If you are over 40, they must be jeans with no tears or fades and wear nice flats or athletic walking shoes in a kicky color.

The same hair style for 10 years--not changing your hair style can make you look frozen in time. Unfortunately it’s only your hair that might be frozen; the rest of you probably look a little different. I’m not suggesting radical hair style changes...but having your hair style and hair color refreshed and updated can take years off your face.

Trendy hip hugger jeans. Even if they fit...which on second look (the rear view) they might not...if you wear low cut jeans, short tops or huge hoop earrings... Ask anyone, this attire screams “I’m competing with my 16 year old daughter.”

4” platform shoes and you walk like you need a good dose of Imodium. This is like the hip hugger jeans. When you wear stuff for the super young it usually highlights the evidence that you are super old.

OK, you splurge on a designer outfit-- now you are all decked out in a matching head-to-toe designer outfit. These days sophisticated people wear a little of this and a little of that, matchy-matchy is passé or old style--way out of style like the shoulder pads. The current look is wear something classic or designer with something trendy and casual. It is a more challenging look to put together, but it's more interesting and stylish.
