Format:Paperback
This book came very well-reviewed, but I found it disappointing. It really should be titled 'what do young people wear'---which is something different from how to look young! In fact the women who remain most attractive (like those I see around me here in France) often do so by shrewdly avoiding wearing things that are really only successful on young bodies; wearing 'young' clothes that don't flatter actually makes you look older, and maybe just a little bit sad. But that's pretty much the message of this book: wear these sixteen items of clothing that young people wear---whether they look good on you or not.
It won't fool anyone.
A much better book for looking sexy and attractive after 40 is Staging Your Comeback by Christopher Hopkins, which includes not only practical and realistic advice on clothes, hair, makeup etc, but shows pictures of real women who have really been transformed by intelligent and beautiful clothes and makeup.

I received this book as a gift and must admit I first read it with a jaundiced view but soon I was savouring every word! It is full of great advice on everything from cosmetics and skin care to shoes, jeans cut, etc. and I actually think I look younger for following her advice. I guess the best comment is that I have now given it as gifts to my best girlfriends and younger sister.

I like this book. I like its earnest American-ness. I liked learning that `bangs' are Y and H ( young and hip) and matchy-matchy is OL (old lady). An entertaining read but with some good tips.

very good book
this is a very good buy if you can manage to cope with the author's manner of presenting herself as the one indisputed expert on looking younger! Read more

I found this book of Carla's so helpful being in my 70's and feeling that perhaps I could update my image but not look as if I was trying to be a dolly bird teenager. Read more

Book Worm
Book is great, funny and sensible for the "mature" woman. But it came with a slice through the spine and had to be repaired, not so good.

How Not to Look Old
It's excellent: practical advice all the way. The most expensive book I ever read, because I threw out all my makeup, clothes etc. and bought replacements - money well spent. Read more
