1. Pixie cut and monochromatic colors.Can it get any better than that? This woman in her 70s rocked the high-class trend of going for the short hair. Aside from that, she added a touch of elegance and spunk with her sterling silver statement earrings. She perfectly demonstrated that she could keep up with the young fashionistas but donning for a lip color that's bold and electric. Oh, and don't get us started with the statement choker that she is rocking in this photo. I don' t know why, but I feel that this woman who ages beautifully can beat me in the fashion game.

This stunning face that occupied many billboards and fashion photography during the 1990s is still here to mesmerize in a way that even younger models can't do.

8. The more you age, the more you will realize that, indeed, gold is forever.When it comes to jewelry pieces and accessories, nothing can beat the appeal and the fashion usefulness of gold jewelry. Gold is such a versatile metal, and it's also age-appropriate for women who are no longer comfortable with bright, loud colors. Just throw in some gold earrings, necklaces, and bangles to your look, and you are good to go. If going the extra mile is not your thing in the name of fashion, don't forget to pin in some gold brooch. Gold is synonymous with sophistication, so don't hesitate to try it out.

9. If you are not a fan of gold, that's fine.You can always have an alternative (yay, good news!), and that alternative is called the pearl jewelry. Yes, when all else fails, and if you feel like every accessory makes you look overbearing, go for lovely pearls, and you are sure to look complete and made up in no time! Also, if you prefer white outfits, the pearl jewelry offers a star, stunning contrast that will make you look effortlessly beautiful! Take it from this woman right here!
10. Perhaps white pearls aren't your thing, do you still have an option?Oh yes, you do have one; and we're telling you, it's a stunning second choice: a grey pearl necklace. In the market and the fashion scene, all we see the majority is the white pearl necklace. But have you ever tried the grey ones? I love this accessory on this woman right here. It matched her top, it matched her undertone, and it even complimented her other jewelry. So sophisticated, don't you think? I think that's the fun thing about being forty and above; you can always be adventurous with whatever style you want!

When you're over forty and are still into fashion, you slowly realize that colors are becoming your best friend.Color blocking has become so easy for you, and you become more creative as the years pass by. Since color is already in your favor, you need to take advantage of it. Take advantage of the chance to discover what color works with what color, and build from that. Don't be afraid to compliment and contrast because colors are now kinder to you. Be crazy with jewelry, match red with purple, as this lady did. Keep it classy still by going for sassy jewelry pieces!
12. Seriously, don't forget to have fun!Life can be tough, yes, but aging does not mean you stop yourself from having the time of your life. Continue rocking your fashion! Wear your favorite material, experiment with color contrast in your clothes and in your trinkets, rock jewelry pieces that are considered unconventional by some middle-aged ladies. Explore your creativity when it comes to mixing and matching your jewelry and clothes. Age is just a number, and you're not going to be a boring member.
13. Lastly, don't forget to work it!Embrace your age with pride and the best fashion clothes and accessories. I love the woman's spunk in this photo; she sure knows how to rock her age.

This is the perfect time to work your age and make everyone consider your fashion goals!
