I didn't change my style at all when I turned 30, age means nothing to me, as i got older i just felt i did not have the body to wear certain clothes and they have been dropped through the years. I do not wear hotpants anymore, or very low rise jeans, or short tops.
I simply adapted my style, something that is also not static, to the way my body aged, not because of a number.
french connection usually has a lot of these types of dresses (some are knockoffs of beckham originals) for a reasonable cost.
I am currently trying to locate a summer tea dress that actually comes below mid thigh and finding it almost impossible. The closest I have found has been via Cath Kidston, but I'm not particularly fond of this seasons offerings and would prefer not to have to dry clean a dress I would be wearing regularly.
Oooh I found this thread really interesting; I'm in my thirties and still have long hair and look very similar to how I did when I was younger and get ID'd a lot - I'd also say that I am - ahem!! - mentally still quite young and some slight confusion creeps in about how I dress now.
I used to wear neutral basics when I was in my twenties, but now love brightly coloured cashmere and printed dresses (I honestly think black doesn't suit me as much anymore, the one thing which is noticably different about me is my skintone, alas!). I hesitated over buying a silk sundress for the first time last month as I feel a bit 'deceptive' that people think I am still in my twenties and wondered if it was too young for me (it's a simple shift dress in a nice pattern) but then decided to go for it, one of the ladies at work usually compliments me on my dresses and I've noticed she's started wearing them more and she's in her fifties, which is nice to see. I think a pretty frock (if that's your style) can make you feel feminine at any age.
I'm still very happy with wearing cashmere, pencil skirts, jeans, dangly earrings etc even though I do have the odd wobble about dresses if I wonder if the print is too young.
