"When I hit
menopause six years ago, I hardly recognized myself, even though I still felt young inside," says Sandra Alvim, an astrologer and the author of
Yes, I'm 58! "I found a picture of me at 27 and decided if that's how I felt, then that's how I should look." Alvim changed her

Find conservative cuts. Balance exposed arms and shoulders with a knee-length dress.
Save color for your feet. Bright
and strapless is overkill. Accessories are the place to go wild.
