Like Georgia, I buck the middle-aged helmet head hairstyle expectation. My hair is red and long and I like it that way. I also have bangs, which apparently I'm not 'supposed' to do. Whatever.
I've got some dangerous curves and I wear spandex to the gym. Don't like it; don't look. It's literally as simple as that.
There are certain looks I've never been able to pull off successfully so now is no different than before. I love big, chunky jewelry...especially colorful necklaces....but I can't wear them. I'm so little on top, they swallow my neck up.
For those concerned with being youthful and classy at the same time, go with tried and true pieces and use jewelry or accessories for your youthful, fun, colorful pops. A nice A line LBD with bright shoes or fun bangles, for example.
I've been in the 'don't care what others think' club for a while now. I like to look good for me and if someone else likes it too, great. If not, it's no skin off of my teeth.

Yes I understand about chunky jewelry, I love it on others but fel too weighed down to wear it comfortably myself.
Cant go wrong with a LBD ! I love clothes with a 40`s feel too, pencil skirts and kitten heels.
Your hair sounds gorgeous by the way !
