Lots of useful information, well presented

I am 58 and I keep struggling to maintain an age appropriate, stylish and attractive look since my forties. There isn't much out advice out there, and here it is, all in one place. This book would have saved me a lot of trial and error. Some of the advice (buy top of the line jeans, for example) I eventually figured out on my own, but after years of buying, and giving away, $40 jeans I got in the junior department. Other ideas (pink lipstick???) I look forward to trying. If you don't want to have botox or veneers (I don't) just skip that stuff, but that's no reason to dis this book. There is advice for you no matter how much or how little you have to spend.

How Not To Look Old

The book arrived in a timely manner. Would order from this vendor again. I enjoy Charla's straight forward approach with her writing. It's almost like she's a friend who tells you how it is!

Fun to read and learned a lot!

This book is so great, I've already talked it up and sent it to four friends and my mother. I always thought I made a pretty good effort at staying Y&H, but I learned so many new things from this book. I highly recommend it to those pushing 40 and above.

YOU DON'T NEED TO LOOK OLD!

"Forget getting older gracefully" - this book shows you how to look younger than your age. It covers clothing, shoes, hair, accessories, makeup, skin, and even teeth. For example, the author suggests keeping teeth white, lips and makeup light and creamy, and hair long with bangs - though this advice should depend on your face shape, etc. The book includes photo-examples of what makes someone look older than they need to look as well as a photo of how to improve that look. There are also photos of celebrities showing good and bad styles. The book caters to both low maintenance and high maintenance looks depending on how much time and money someone wants to put into their looks.

Charla Krupp, being a style expert and with the experience of many years on NBC's Today show, is well-qualified to give her opinion. She is generously giving her advice to the general public. Thank you. This is a great book full of helpful tips and advice and I recommend it! Nevertheless, I will never wear shapewear as I believe the best way to look like you have a youthful body is to actually have one. A companion book that will give you that youthful body is THE 3:00 PM SECRET: Live Slim and Strong, Live Your Dreams

Some Good Advice

As is the case with most beauty books; you will need to pick and choose what is comfortable for you. Some of Krupp's advice is downright silly: A pair of eyeglasses for different occasions (casual, dressy, office, etc). Never wear hose, especially nude hose, but fishnets in black or nude are ok. Dye your hair blonde and keep it shoulder length. Never wear sneakers in public. She is also an advocate for cosmetic surgery.
However, she does offer some good advice on makeup tips, how to dress to look slim, how to find the perfect pair of jeans, what will date you in the way of makeup, fashion and hair.
I like the fact that resources are listed at the end of each chapter as well as in the back of the book. The resources range from low to high in cost and Krupp claims to have personally tested each product listed.
Overall, not a bad book and I did enjoy it.
