Of course age discrimination still exists, but the overall world viewpoint about being over 40 has really changed. Famous beauties like Halle Berry, Kim Catrell, Mariska Hargitay, Salma Hayek, Iman, and Susan Sarandon are showing the world that being over 40 does’t mean the end of style or sex appeal.

If you feel a bit left out of the over-forty-boom, don’t panic. Make the most of what you know about yourself. You are at a confidant age. You know what looks good. Visit your stylist and tell them you want to make the most of your face with a great new hair color, if needed. Streamline your cut, and don’t hide your face behind dated, excess hair.

Don’t be afraid to show a little skin. Be proud of you cleavage, your hips, and throw in some shorter skirts with chic boots or sleek heels.

Walk confidently, and let the world know you are a proud and sexy woman.
