Low
Rise Jeans…
High Marks to Defy Age
I am in dire need of expert fashion advice. I am 36 years old
with two young children under 10. Am I too old to wear ultra low-rise jeans
and/or smart, casual ultra low rise pants? 
I am very thin with very good abdominals. The low cut fits well and my husband
and I think they look very good, but is this style simply reserved for young
women?
Also, I bought my very first pair of open toed shoes. They are silver high heel
dress shoes. My husband thinks they look like something a "Hoochie Mama" would
wear. I don't even know how to wear them-period! What color clothing can I wear
with silver shoes? Thanks in advance for the advice- I REALLY appreciate it!!!

 When
it comes to super low-rise pants, it's a case of beauty before
age! If you
expose skin, particularly somewhere that begs for attention, the flesh you bare
better be lean and tone. Just because you're young, doesn't give you the
go-ahead to walk around advertising
more rolls than Kaiser
protruding over your
pants!
Being in your thirties is by no means old. Think Elizabeth Hurley,
Pamela Anderson, Nicole Kidman, Sarah Jessica Parker, and the
cast of Friends. These
babelicious beauties have no problem looking hot. And, if you think that
once you become a mom, you suddenly turn
into a frump, you are in for one very dull
ride.
If you look great in these pants, wear them. Have fun, that's what
fashion is all about. Once you start taking clothing too seriously, you lose all
sense of style and become a tired, old
fashion victim. If you're not totally at-ease
with this hipbone-bearing trend, try wearing a longer top at first.
As far as your new silver sandals go, could
there be more understated chic than to wear a pair of faded,
low
rise jeans
with a crisp white,deep
cuffed shirt and the unexpected glamour of silver shoes?
I'd rather be a Hoochie Mama than a gloomy stick in the mud, anytime. You
go, girl!
