Yes, it has finally happened. A few weeks ago, I left my glorious thirties to move on to bigger and better, and well, older things in life.

Just a decade ago, I was frantically planning my wedding and the thought of turning 40 someday wasn’t really on my radar. So now I sit pondering those deeper thoughts like, what do I want to accomplish in the next ten years? What do I want my children to accomplish in the next ten years? What will life look like at 50? And in spite of all that, the most pressing issue I face, honestly, is what on earth do I wear now that I’ve reached the big four-o?

I’ve never been a Fashionista, but do have a taste for the finer threads in life. Trends are something I rarely follow, unless I really feel drawn to them. I have a soft spot for Italian shoes and unique handbags, and am always on the look-out for a good bargain.

Women in their 40s exude femininity this is why a proper, beauty enhancing hairstyle is a must. Take a peek at the following hairstyles selection perfect for women over 40 so you can look stylish and fabulous every time.

Turning 40 scares most women and this determines them to look for a different hairstyle, a hairstyle which is age appropriate and will help them feel great. Aging is a natural process but that doesn’t mean that if one ages one has to loose their style. There are a variety of hairstyles for women over 40 to choose from depending on personal style and preference.

It is a common misconception of women that once they pass the age of 40 they need to opt for a shorter hairstyle. This is false, hair length has nothing to do with age and women over 40 can choose whichever length suits their face shape and personality.

So I’ve got a few months of 39 left in me but I’ve got to say that the only real issue I’m having is trying to figure out what exactly 40 year old men are supposed to act like, dress like…etc… I don’t think I’d have this complex if it were not for my girlfriend that thinks I act older than 40 as it is. So share the wealth! What makes a man act, dress, etc… like 40???

Turning 40 is a defining moment when it comes to following fashion. It is the age when a woman teeters on the brink of becoming mutton dressed as lamb or turning frumpy.
