You've hit another milestone in life by reaching your 50s. There are probably a number of thoughts rushing through your mind, like some of the accomplishments and goals you want to set for yourself.

One thing that some women at this age forget or tend to overlook is their sexiness. Oh, don't shy away from this. Your sexiness is tucked within, and the following tips are going to help you release it.

Joyful Walking

It may sound a little unorthodox, but changing the way you walk can help you regain that sexiness you have hidden inside. Some people unknowingly start to walk in a way that implied shyness or lack of confidence. Try to fight this off by intentionally walking as if a happy song is playing in the background.

It may seem silly at first, but this can help lift your mood. This means that you'll feel happier and more confident, which are vital ingredients for sexiness.

Flirt a Bit

It is time to start flirting again. Relax, no one is telling you to take your flirting to the next level. All you are doing is having a little playful fun with others who might find you attractive.

You might find this surprising, but flirting is good for you. It helps increase 'feel-good' hormones like serotonin, which help fight off stress and anxiety. Furthermore, flirting with others from time to time will also spark that sexy spark waiting to burst in flames. Go ahead, and sharpen those flirtatious skills of yours and take them out for a few test runs.

Sexy Hairdo

You have a lot of tools to help you feel and look sexier, like the ones mentioned earlier. Still, many women tend to overlook how important their hair can be. The right style can accentuate your changing look in a way you might not have imagined. What you want to do is look at hairstyles for women over 50 that not only speak to you but fit your overall look.

Feeling comfortable in your new hairdo should boost your sexiness. Remember the key is to look for a hairdo that accentuates your face, not just one that looks good on a model. Talk to your hairstylist about your face shape and what styles would be effective.

Power Clothes

The next thing you want to do is pay attention to your clothes. Wear clothes that make you feel good and look good. The key is to pay attention to your body shape, and be honest about it because there is a style that accentuates any look.

For example, those with an apple-shaped body will need to do their best to draw attention away from the mid-section. This means patterned tops or puffy sleeves. This also means staying away from skinny bottoms and sticking to flowing skirts or pants instead.

Those with a rectangular-shaped body will need to find blouses that are relatively long, and use belts to create the appearance of a waist. Use padded jackets or other puffy tops to help give your body the right look. Talk to a salesperson at a good boutique to help you choose correctly.

Now, go ahead and look at yourself in the mirror because you know you are rocking your look. Looking great in your 50s is possible if you will it to be. This is not the time to hide from the world but take it by storm.
