Which idea from the text do you think is the most true?

8.TEXT B. Age Defying Style... Upgrade cute to cool, but do not give up on modern!

Dear Sharon: Help! I am a 30 year old high school English teacher who feels stuck between fashion eras. Although I am not interested in dressing like the students that I teach, I find that the alternative of jumpers and printed sweaters of my older co-workers are horrific. What can a thirty year old woman do to stay fashionable and funwithout dressing too young? Please keep in mind that most women in my career are on a budget. Help would be greatly appreciated. (Anna)

Dear Anna: There is absolutely no reason why a woman should think that she must dress unfashionably at a certain age. Thirty is still a pretty young age. It’s a time to start exploring those terribly girly pieces that your students may wear and capture the essence of your true style. Once you start believing that you are too old to keep modern, you’ll start looking like those who horrify you.

It’s been said that fifty is the new thirty. People have methods to oppose ageand make the most of what they’ve got to peel off the calendar years to simply look marvelous in a way that is timeless. Trends today have become so universal, teens are wearing top designers and their moms are shopping at off the radar, funky boutiques. It’s really not about the age you are, but about the age that you appear. Sure, as time goes on your body shifts and skin slackens, but with sensible upkeep and a modern outlook, you can continue to look amazing if you manage to get round the age.
But what does that mean: to get round the age? No ultra-low hipsters worn with tiny shirts (even if your figure says yes, common sense says shorten the amount of exposed flesh), and no babydoll mini. Most important, look like you have arrived and not like you’re finding your way!
Should you throw these things away? Not necessarily. Get rid of pieces which define your age, like a T-shirt unless it’s cashmere and you pair it under a lean menswear suit. Wear that babydoll mini over the too-low jeans and midheel boots to keep the look relaxed rather than teenybopper. Slice the belly baring top down the middle and wear it as a shrug over a classic white roll-neck sweater and knee-length skirt. Upgrade cute to cool, but do not give up on modern. Keep the spirit in your wardrobe and the life in your outlook. Be daring, but not inadequate.
How to keep to your personal style as the years go on? Start to consider adding a few sophisticated pieces to mix with the fast fashion cheapie fixes. As you mature, keep to your personal style, but simplify it a bit as the years go on. If you think something makes you appear dowdy, it does. If you feel dumb in an outfit, you look it too. Well-cut, clean lines are right for any age. Spruce up with trendy bags, shoes, and belts which imprint a look. As the clock ticks, expose less, leave more to the imagination, and spotlight what’s worth bragging about. Always, always keep your hairstyle fresh with lots of movement. Give your make-up a lift and moisturize. Don’t be afraid to experiment, but be very afraid of being boring.

ТЕКСТ С. Image-boosting advice to rock your world!

Dear Sharon: Help! I feel invisible, yet people tell me I am attractive. I just don't look the way I would like. What tips do you have for appearing beautiful?–Casper

Dear Casper: My poor self-pitying princess, look in the mirror and declare that you are beautiful! Grab the nearest dumpster. Fill it the brim with all your self-deprecating debris. Roll the over-stuffed canister of incredulousness down the steepest hill. Inhale. Let the demons go… Then, sweet sister of style, take stock of your physical strengths: I am sure there are many.

Physical beauty is subjective- what is stupendous to one person is hideous to the next. You must be pleasing to yourself.
Some of the most amazing looking women are so self-doubting that they coil into oblivion. Conversely, some modest looking women have such tremendous self-confidence and poise that they are perceived as extraordinary.
Self-confidenceis all in how you carry yourself. Hollywood legend has it that Marilyn Monroe would virtually be unnoticed when walking down a street with a friend. Then, Marilyn would ask, "Do you want to see her?"
Off went mama mia Monroe's glasses. On came the Marilyn walk. What happened next? Cars came to a screeching halt. Only now did she transform into Marilyn the Goddess?I have met and worked with many celebrities who were completely indistinct and introverted until they put "it" on - and, wow! That sweet cakes, is charisma. And, this magical "something"is the most powerful form of allure that anyone can possess.
You don't have to wiggle like Marilyn, or have a camera focused on your face to beguile, but you do have to radiate inner beautyto hold the spotlight. Discover self-admiration. Feel praiseworthy about yourself. Glow!!!
No amount of gorgeous clothes in your closet will turn you into a beauty… you must believe that you are beautiful- inside and out - to truly be a knock-out. But, proper clothing will aid to outwardly boost your inner security.
Clothing also helpselevate self-esteem. Fashion is one of the few quick-change pleasures you can experience. When you are wearing clothing that fits correctly, emphasizes figure strengths, and camouflages figure weaknesses, you feel more secure about yourself. Learn to concur those old insecure body image demons that nest inside of you by looking terrific. It is very true that when you are confident about your attractiveness, you send out a positive exuberanceso daily tasks seem to become easier. Accept the imperfections of your body and make the most of what you have. Present an exquisite spectacle of yourself for the world to admire. Enjoy life!
