Dressing Your Age

Does this stress anybody but me out? Its something thats been on my mind a lot the past year. I do not want to be perceived as "dressing too young." And now that we are in our upper twenties, guh, I feel like I have to at least look like an adult.

I find myself occasionally admiring the way some "50 and older" women dress, and hoping I can look that good one day. I've even contemplated a blazer. WHAT?? yes. Note I didn't say pants-suit or pinstripes. I don't want to look like a square. And no, I won't be wearing pearls with that!
