Tips for Being "Forever Cool"

One of our readers, Sherrie Mathieson, was kind enough to send us some tips from her newest book "Forever Cool" (which I'm hoping is a possibility...).  We're sharing some of what Sherrie has to say and you can head to her Website at www.sherriemathieson.com for more from her book on what's hip - but still appropriate - for both men and women, as we hit 50 and beyond

• Look as natural as possible. Try for that effect even when using make-up.
• Looking youthful means looking healthy and vibrant.  A hip, sportiness will look like you're an active, energetic individual.
• Build your wardrobe using neutral palette without patterns at the start (black, browns, greys, tans and white) for greater ease in mixing and instant modern sophistication.
• Start with simple, classically oriented clothes updated in the current cut.
• Add personality with your accessories and color - but never make them cute or silly.
• Buy the best quality you can afford.  It will bolster aging skin.
• "Less is More" as you age.  Don't overdo - on any level.
• Aspire to a certain classy refinement - it's becoming too rare.

Don't forget that your husband, significant other or date is bound to be part of your image.  One of you can detract from the other.  You are a "set" as you walk through the door.
