Rules to look young

The other time, I was looking through Oprahs magazine, when i came across a piece on Ellen Barkin, currently starring in Oceans thirteen. She is 53 year old already and she still looks so hot and sexy. What actually captured my imagination was her top ten rules for life after 50. This could be useful for those of us who are finding it hard to believe we are aging:

1. Don’t wear your hair longer than to your collarbone
2. No red lipstick, unless you have dark or olive skin. It’s aging
3. No blue jeans to dinner out (But black jeans are okay)
4. Don’t expose your knees. And cover up. Don’t try to compete with 20-year-olds. A woman between 40 and forever looks great because she has style, not because she shows off her body.
5. Don’t ever wear anything strapless
6. But at the beach, if you have a toned body, rock that bikini for as long as you like.
7. No miniskirts. A short skirt is okay with black tights.
8. Don't ever revisit a trend you lived through once before.
9. Don’t wear hats, except to keep the sun off your face. A hat makes you look as if you're trying to get noticed
10. Wear fewer accessories and keep your look clean.
