I am turning 30 should I start to change the way I dress (become more conservative) or continue to wear what works best for me?

I'm 39 and I will say this from experience....as I get older I think "I don't want to be a grandmother trying to be a granddaughter." My competition will not be 16 yr olds....I want to grow older gracefully and thus have started wearing trendy skirts and blouses..purchasing good leather heels. Acquired a nice flowing (moving) sassy hair cut or wearing it pinned up. I wear lots of pearls and preferrably chokers. I started dressing sophisticated. I don't want to be mistaken for a child....I want to be seen as a "Woman of Class" (the down-side to this, I've been told is that I look High-Maintenance) uughhh...You can't win for lose in this lifetime! :(

I really do not like the idea of of age defining who someone is. Now, of course, there are those women who dress like teenagers just to "look young," and they just end up looking ridiculous. But if you have a style that does not seem to be popular with what other 30 year olds+ are wearing, but you like it, by all means, go for it. Look at Gwen Stefani and her style. She is almost 38 and she is a fashion icon for younger women.

Wear what works best for you. Many people will say to change but if you don't want to than don't. Granted, if you are going to a job interview or something you might want to "dress your age" so they don't think of you as immature, but in your free time wear what you want.

As long as you feel comfortable, then you shouldn't change. Theres no rule that says at 30 you have to get frumpy!! After all, 40 is the new 20! You still have several years before you even need to think about changing your style.

Adapt your look to your age. What works for you will work even better one step up. Look for more sophisticated things in the styles you like. Remember that the most "out there" stuff is best for ages 16-24. Hit your stride without being strident.

You can still dress in Juniors (Forever 21, Charlotte Russe, Holister, etc) but you may have to pass on certain types of styles. You kinda know when it's not working for you - and when it is. Fit will be the first clue.

Wear what looks good - only avoid obvious juvenile styles, like pigtails and juvenile Tshirts.
I am 51, and I wear what looks good. If I am too heavy for it, no, bit otherwise I dress like a 30 year old, still.

Im 3o and I wear whatever I feel comfortable in, my idea of what I want to wear has changed, but I think it's better. I dress way better now than a did 5 years ago. Trust me you'll know if something doesn't feel right to wear. If you question it, then don't do it. I shop at abercrombie, hollister, express, forever21...etc.
