Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number!!

Posted in Aldo, Kurt Geiger, Net-a-Porter, Styling Tips
I turned 30 years old just over a month ago. I must say turning 30 was a pivitol moment for me as I believe at this point is where I turned into a woman. Being a woman for me mean’s a range of different things, one of the main things being having to start looking at life a lot more seriously.
One of the things I relate to age is the way we dress.  The way you dress as a woman says a lot about you. Being a stylist I often find my self paying attention to and analysing the way women of different ages dress and the changes in dressing women close to me have undertaken as they’ve got older.
Turning 30 has definitley made me start to think about the way I dress, and think about whether there is a big difference to the way women dress in their 20′s to women in their 30′s.
I’m quite a spontaneous dresser so I don’t really follow trends, I shop in a range of shops which include Urban Outfitters, American Apparel, Reiss, Topshop, Zara, Karen Millen, French Connection, River Island and many more High Street Brands.  However as you may know all of the above are quite different in regards to the type of aparel they stock.  Reiss is quite conservative and elegant whereas Urban Outfitters is a mixture urban and vintage.
Being a follower of celebrity fashion and looking at celebs who are in their 30′s such as Kim Kardashian, Katie Holmes, Kelly Rowland I have noticed changes in their dress sense as they’ve hit their 30′s though very subtle changes.

A Classic outfit, which isn't too old but neither too young. The colour's are quite subtle and can be worn during the day or on a dinner date. Try and keep wardrobe with a mixture of tailored items including tailored jackets, trousers which can be dressed up or down.

I think being in your early 30′s shouldn’t make you feel as though you need to have a whole wardrobe revamp or even fear being seen as ‘mutton dressed up as lamb!!! I think we have at least a decade or two before being seen as this.  Although I do feel it is time to maybe dress at bit more conservative at times going over the top and  looking as if  you’re dressed for a day at the office 7 days a week is not the way forward.
Au revoir!
