If you feel you need to update yourself be comforted that you are probably not as old fashioned as you think. The very fact that you are thinking about updating, implies a certain awareness of style.
Be comforted that only twenty percent of the population is actually wearing fashion. Most choices we make are utilitarian and related to the lives we lead. Many women are simply safely in the middle, neither being bang up to date, nor dreadfully out of fashion. Most of those clothes are available nationwide and affordable by most people. Ten years ago I could write that the clothes on offer in most high streets could not possibly be at the cutting edge of high fashion. Yet today with the internet and the ease of online fashion shopping, designer goods are available to anyone who can afford them. Whilst shops like Zara keep the high street retailers on their toes.
When you worry about your appearance, remember also that the star's thighs you see on a magazine cover have often been airbrushed to perfection, so that no cellulite is visible. It certainly makes many of us feel less than perfect. However take a glance at the next twenty people in the street and come back to reality. Learn to accept a few flaws and work with what you have, it might be beautiful hands, lovely eyes, glossy hair, good ankles or a graceful neck. Draw attention to that.
When you are younger you automatically tend to know what is in fashion and what is not. This is always enhanced if you are in a workplace where there is a buzz. Those days of intuitive knowledge soon fly past when combined with the reality of living with figure faults, running a home and budgeting.
You may like me, at some time or other have had to wear some garments in fabrics you hated, simply for comfort during weeks of medical treatment such as radiotherapy. Welcome to the real world, where for many of us life is not quite like the catwalks would like it to be on a daily basis.
You may even have found the ideal shapes that suit and flatter your body. But are those shapes in fashion at this moment and if they are not, how can you still look as if you are aware of new styles.
