Can someone give me an example of a person who is dressed up but casually and hasn't let themselves go?

What are you supposed to wear to the park if not jeans and a tee shirt?

You can dress up jeans and a T-shirt, or at least make it a look. I’m at the mechanic in jeans and a T-shirt, but am wearing high end slip on sneakers, have a nice utility jacket, and a nice handbag on. I also put on some jewelry. It’s the little things.

Yeah, it's the 'little things', like being able to spell correctly and write coherently. You sound like a moron, despite your 'high end slip on sneakers'.
Maybe you should crack a book open every once in a while when waiting for your toenails to dry.

Girl you need a drink and I'm not the uneducated, grammatically incorrect, sneaker freak.

Control alcohol intake (one glass of red wine several times a week is perfectly reasonable)

Update your wardrobe seasonally (use Trunk Club or other service if fashion isn't your thing). Use a good tailor to fit clothes well to your frame.

Quitting drinking altogether does wonders for ones looks. The most attractive 45+ women I know Do NOT drink alcohol (or anything besides water, tea and/or coffee). I get that you love your wine, but alcohol consumption affects your sleep, your weight and, consequently, your looks.

Alcohol has health benefits for the heart in moderation, no need to abstain.

Sure.....

Alcohol is literally poison. It has no benefits for your body or health. It kills brain cells and has a myriad of other side effects, not to mention that it is a proven carcinogen.

We were waiting for you to show up, crazy anti alcohol poster!

How do YOU dress?

Girl, I don't need a drink at 9 04 am, and I don't know whether or not you are a 'sneaker freak' but your grammar is bad. It's 'an uneducated, not 'the uneducated".

it's "the" because I am referring to the person you called uneducated.

Here is an article so you can be more educated on the subject... https://www.englishpage.com/articles/a-an-vs-the.htm

Pot meet kettle

You need a drink at 9:04 or some SSRIs because you are a mess. I'm sorry you are a mess but you are.

Exactly... she needs a drink... or maybe she has already been drinking.

Regular manicures.

Regular professional haircuts and color.

Decide early if you'll cover your grays.

Shoes are so aging and can ruin your look. Again, update.

In general, you shouldn't be wearing the same wardrobe for decades. Go ahead and say that a tee shirt and jeans are classics and therefore can't ever be out of style. Yes they can. Color and fit and styling of jeans are ever evolving.

I am 51 and spend weekends on the sidelines of DC games. Ugh. Parents who are likely fashionable and current and dress professionally for work throw on entire outfits from the 90s. Moms in boot cut, bedazzled low rise jeans with baby tees, dads in enormous light blue relaxed fit Levi's with a tucked in golf shirt.

I hate to tell you:

She must maintain her house and host social gatherings. She must cook healthy and delicious meals. She must keep her husband interested - date night, etc.

Am I missing anything?

Yeah - she also has to make it look easy and be the cool fun person who never says no

This is horrible. I'm 5'7, 118 lbs. and I drink coffee with cream, eat sugar and carbs every day, drink a couple glasses of wine every night. I could never live like that. I'd rather be dead.

My face reading this was like

I have another question: When is there time or money for a weekly facial? Food is food - it takes some time to prepare and eat. I think it's not hard to fit exerise into a schedule. But a weekly facial - when do you even do that? Does that mean you're spending $500 a month on facials?!

Why are women on this board so hostile to the idea of lifting weights a few times a week plus putting a little bit of thought into their outfits? Try it, you might like it.

Eh I do all this besides the Botox.

But I still think I've let myself go. I almost never wear makeup, never "do" my hair (my hair is naturally very thick and wavy so I blow it dry once and let it do it's wavy thing).

I'm lucky that I'm naturally on the thinner side and I've been really strict about maintaining my weight and staying in shape by taking doing Pilates and Barre and running daily but I still wear casual clothing 99% of the time (jeans, tee shirts, casual sweaters - 90% of my clothing comes from Loft, J Crew, Anthro, and AG). At home, I downgrade to lounge clothing (joggers and a loose fitting tee shirt).

I don't understand why you feel like you are letting yourself go? Because you wear casual clothes and don't do your hair? If you are taking care of your skin, you won't need much makeup if any on a casual day. If you are getting a keratin treatment, you wash your hair and go - it's frizz free. Being casual isn't letting yourself go.
