If we didn't have enough to think about as we get older ? aging parents, empty nests, new jobs, etc. we also have to deal with changing bodies and how to clothe them. Don't despair all is not lost, you can look great after forty and not have to sneak into your daughter's closet to do it.
Many women who are not sure how to deal with thick waists and bulging tummies head straight for the baggy rack and try to conceal their bodies with shapeless clothing, and to make matters worse, they wear their makeup and hair the same way they always have. The key to looking great after forty is to make subtle changes in your clothing, hair and makeup that will equal a facelift and a trainer ? well, maybe not that much difference. Here are some tips that you can put into practice right away.
2. Wear tailored clothes, such as shaped jackets that glide over your tummy and waist. Stay away from boxy, baggy jackets and tops that hang from the bust and add five pounds.
3. The easiest way to put pizzazz into your outfit without looking overdone is to update your shoes and purses. If you carry a purse that looks like your grandmother's ? square and boring you'll look outdated. Choose purses in different shapes and colors that will add interest. There are lots of styles and shapes available, the most flattering being a shoulder bag that fits nicely under your arm.
4. Stay away from clothing that has 'old lady' written all over it, such as huge shoulder pads, narrow pant legs, tiny prints, sweaters with embroidered flowers and big fancy buttons. If it's something your mother would wear then it is not something for you.
5. To look fashionable you don't have to wear the latest styles. Stick to classic lines that suit your body type and develop a look that reflects your personality and lifestyle.

I just came back from Quebec, where the UpBra will be manufactured. I have to tell you, I was a bit skeptical. But I have never seen so much precision and detail go into any piece of clothing, let alone a bra. I was able to road-test the UpBra, and was suprisingly pleased. Now, I’m a 36B, and not one to wear underwire, much less a bra as complicated as this. I couldn’t believe how comfortable it was and how well it worked. By using the mechanism on the strap, I was indeed able to lift my breasts to new heights and create cleavage I’ve never seen (on me) before! I wore it most of the day and all evening and never, ever felt the mechanism inside the cups. I never got sweaty or sticky. I did, however, got a few appreciative glances. I think I’m going to like this new adventure.
UpBra lifts so well it doesn’t need pads. It’s 100% you. Ordinary bras squeeze you in or push you up over the top. Only UpBra’s unique lifting action lifts UNDERNEATH and AROUND your breast. so, instead of you having to fit the bra, the bra fits you.
