>> oh, god. that's what makes you beautiful

>> now some style strategies, not surgery, to take years off your life. good morning to you.

>> good morning.

>> we'll highlight four mistakes pele make. the first is wearing too baggy clothes.

>> the idea, we get it. we think maybe we're not in the greatest shape of our lives or have baby weight lef on so let's hide it. the opposite is true.

>> and this look is the more thinning look.

>> one of our secret weapons is a sheet dress. way tailored clothing, actually takes ten years, ten pounds off, like this great one from ted baker .

>> and the peplum is very flattering.

>> veryflattering, we see jennifer anniston in this look recently and hides a bit of the hip area.

>> the next mistake is the so-called mom jean.

>> universally unflattering. whether we're moms or not. so, you know, a new silhouette that we're loving that's fresh and modern is the skinny jean. not skin tight jeans, talking about a mid-rise tapered jean like these from j. crew , $115, looks great on most figures.

>> a lot of us feel we can't pull off the skinny jean. doesn't have to be skin tight . a great tapered slim silhouette.

>> all right. th next big mistake , they dress too young.

>> well, you know, it's okay to go shopping with your daughter but might not want to buy every single piece of clothing that she chooses. the idea is bore oerkts trend. go with the trends, but sort of adjust the silhouette to more age-appropriate silhouettes. instead of the micromini shorts go with the great cobalt blue trouser, bold colors are a big trend, so keep the trend but look for silhouettes that might work for you.

>> last but not least, throwing out our sweats, oh, no.

>> a 24-hour sweat might not serv you well, so a gat wrap dress , one of our secret weapons from guilt.com, just $79. you just put it on. just as comfortable as sweats and actually made out of sweat material so that's an easy way to look fantastic at any age.

>> it is cozy, but a long way from sweats.

>> i ow.

>> thank you so much.

>> thank you.
