I have read "HOW NOT TO LOOK OLD"


And I do get the point, which some of the reviews I have also read, don't. This book is mostly directed at your working life. Charla Krupp is very aware of the statistics that we are at the top of the aging pole. Everyone else is going to be YOUNGER then us, and they are going to be the people who are running things. You don't want to stand out because you are dressed like an alien compared to the younger people around you. You want to look like them in a professional way as much as possible. You don't want to tap into the preconceived notion that old equals slow, hard to teach new methods, and unattractive.

This is the point of the shape ware, the skin stuff, the clothes that hides your sag and bulges. I get the point. And I intend to implement them as well. I'm going to have to make a game of it as to clothes. I just can't afford to buy those kinds of clothes new. But I can haunt the thrift stores. My only problem is that I can't subjectively judge what looks good on me. But I can try.
