Now I know that covering uprepparttar parts that used to turn heads and draw envy can be tough to take for some women. Which is precisely why beautiful jewelry and fine fabrics arerepparttar 141985 revenge tools of choice for many well-dressed mature women.

So your bustline isn't as perky as your twenty-something daughter or granddaughter. So what? Add a beautiful necklace and draw envious glances from women of all ages. Don't haverepparttar 141986 same backside you did as a teen? Encase it in a fine fabric and see how many men go out ofrepparttar 141987 way to holdrepparttar 141988 door open for you. People will look where you focus their attention, so use that knowledge to redirect their interest torepparttar 141989 parts you want them to see.

Or, as actress Cybil Shepard once said, "I like to flaunt what I have left."

Don't flip through fashion magazines and bemoanrepparttar 141990 fact that you don't look likerepparttar 141991 models. Instead, look atrepparttar 141992 various fashion elements to determine what will and won't work for you. Are printed scarves allrepparttar 141993 rage this year? Grab a few and be trendy. Are mini skirtsrepparttar 141994 style of choice? Pass and bank your money.

See how easy this is?

"A woman hasrepparttar 141995 age she deserves," Coco Chanel once said. You don't have to go under cover and dress "like a little old lady" just because that's what your mother or grandmother did. You're your own person.

If you remember to dress in clean lines and classic styles and cover appropriately, you can still be fashionable - AND draw long, lingering glances from handsome men -- whatever your age. And if THAT doesn't make you feel like a blushing girl again, then honey, nothing I can say will!
