Try a visual reboot:
You may be older and want to look more sophisticated but it's still a good time to try new things, shopping in new places, try some things that are in fashion. Try shopping with different people. Experiment with new looks using second hand or cheap clothes before committing. I have spent years in a vintage, librarian chic mode but am trying to find vintage looks that are more interesting and less girly. Try new colours, choose ones that suit you rather than just colours you abstractly like. Avoid novelty prints, cute things, frills and other youthful stuff. Try more unusual fabrics and shapes, indulge yourself with a glamorous look or one with a strong attitude. Take stuff from the back of the wardrobe and wear it again in different combos. Purge anything you don't wear anymore or that is wrong for you. Try altering or dyeing clothes to renew them.
Review your make-up, the current look is all about a strong brow. Eyeshadows should be matte as you get older but try a strong lipstick, maybe matte also. Nail polish can be fun in a dark or in offbeat colours like greys, browns, metallics.
Have you changed your look or bought anything new lately?
