You are looking great my friend. Good for...Hi Mimi,<br />You are looking great my friend. Good for you that you took the steps you<br />needed to learn what would help you......I have been an empty nester for awhile now so I have learned some of those tips by tril and error and reading and from my daughter and daughter-in-love, and I definitely know<br />what doesns't look good on me but my problem is finding things that do look good. Like the longer jackets, they are hard to come by, cause<br />they tend to make all the jackets and tops shorter...and there is the problem with so many things out of polyester....just can not wear it as<br />it makes me too hot (since I am still having my own personal summers) lol.<br />I use scarves a lot<br />too, but I just drape them around my neck and let them hang, gives a<br />very slenderizing look. Since I am in the process of going from blonde<br />to silver or salt and pepper, I guess I should say, I am learning about<br />makeup.....as they say you have to wear a bit brighter lipstick and<br />blush so your face doesn't disappear.....so looking for some lipstick<br />that will stay on for awhile, and a nice hot pink color. My daughter-in-<br />love suggested Mac lipstick.....and it is half the price of the Elizabeth<br />Arden I know use, that doesn't stay on very long. So that will be on my<br />Christmas list....<br />I am thankful for my 2 fashionistas in the family who give me advice and<br />will be truthful as well.....<br />It is really fun to get a new look and I am delighted every time I can<br />find anything to wear that makes me feel good in it.....<br />Keep up the good work, the fact you are feeling better about your look<br />shows on your sweet face.............we are never too old to improve...<br />that is for sure.<br /><br />So are you about ready for Christmas. I am doing pretty good but then I<br />got sick the end of last week, and over the weekend, so am hoping I feel<br />way better tomorrow as we are having a Christmas party here on the 15th<br />which is this coming Friday......so say a prayer for me if you think of it.<br />Have a Merry Christmas Season sweet Friend,<br />Love and Blessings,<br />Nellie<br />Nellie's Cozy Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619797669030115088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7492903313028603031.post-79203919950332441442017-12-11T08:09:37.623+10:002017-12-11T08:09:37.623+10:00Hi Mimi,

It's been really good and very informative. I have been looking and learning and really focusing on what I already have. Not a lot of purchases this year but more mixing, matching and sorting through what I have which has been a good exercise in itself. Really looking forward to seeing your other dresses with shoes etc. You have made some great choices there.

I think we all could do with a few lessons in how to look our best. You have me re-thinking a few things in my wardrobe now. I did make one new change this year - I went from dark hair to blonde because in reality it was going white anyway! Now I need a new wardrobe.......Love seeing your beautiful transformation my dear.

The way we look affects the way we feel so much. Ironically I type with a face mask on and a hair pack! If you could see me now! <br />I have found the wheat free diet has had an odd effect.... a facelift. I thought I was imagining it but everyone is noticing. Now I see on websites they have "facelift Friday" and "carb face" and post carb face photos. Mmm sounds weird but its true, much less puffiness and slimmer face. So free facelift! I hope it keeps going! Is making me feel good!<br />Thinking about my gaols for the new year. Have a wedding so will be in a trillion photos. Better get to work! <br />I love to see people well groomed. It is getting to be sadly lacking so thank you for all the encouragement as we can all make an effort to look lovely, it makes so much difference!

Many women compromise on modesty just so they can look stylish, but are still unhappy with their wardrobe.

I try to reinvent my older dresses each year in how and what I wear them with .This year I seem to have more blues and variations of blue than in the past.Long dresses and shorter dresses I love them all . It is particularly warm weather we are having for this time of year and dresses are my daily uniform.I think I need some long necklaces like you have , next .
