What would Oprah do?

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!  Yes, I'm talking fashion, ladies: low-rise pants, short skirts, low cut tops, skinny jeans, high heeled boots, the list goes on.  Today I retired my low rise jeans; they are a size 2 and fit me just fine except ... for the muffin top thing going on at the waist line.  A few years ago, a muffin top referred to a tasty treat, but somehow, gravity and middle-age crept up like a thief in the night stealing my girlish (ish) waistline.  These days, it's about figuring out how to dress professionally and stylishly but not trendily, and to avoid, as we say in England, "looking like mutton dressed as lamb".   I guess the key is to pick a role model, say Oprah Winfrey, Diane Keaton or Audrey Hepburn, and every time you're in a fashion dilemma, ask yourself, "What would ****** do?".  I'm interested in hearing how other middle-aged ladies of real estate deal with the question of looking stylish but not girlish?  Do share!
