[quote=Anonymous]It's extremely weird to me that this thread contains photos of exactly two women (a stock model and Kate Middleton, lol), those women have diametrically opposed looks, and they are both being trashed as making mistakes. Like what is the point of this?

The woman with the pink hair is gorgeous. It may not be the look for you, but you can't deny she's a beautiful woman who looks vibrant and attractive. I have rocked both pink and purple hair on occasion in my 40s and it's fun. I don't think it's my ideal look and I wouldn't wear it to my own wedding or something, but I'm glad I experimented with it because life is short and why not stay entertained?

And Kate Middleton is also very pretty. I personally would not make many of the same hair, makeup, or wardrobe choices. But then, I'm not and would not want to be the Duchess of Cambridge, I make exactly zero public appearances, and I'm not British or preppy or even a mother of three. It's not surprising that she's not my style icon. But I would never say she looks "haggard" or ugly because that would be silly.

I think the biggest beauty mistake women over 40 commonly make is continuing to try hard to conform with societal expectations of what women are supposed to look like, when it should be clear to all women by the age of 40 that those expectations are contradictory BS constructed by men, the beauty industry, and bitter other women to make us feel bad.

I also think it's smart to invest in your teeth -- get some Invisalign for any middle aged shifting, whiten a bit, and make sure you are taking good care of them.[/quote]
