I need help with my fashion style!?

Question

I am a 40-yr-old mom of 3 teen daughters and I'm having trouble buying clothes that represent my style. My figure is very slender so I can wear tiny junior clothes but I don't want to look like I'm dressing like my daughters.  

I like sleek, sophisticated looks but I do want to bring new, funky items into my wardrobe; just not a lot of tacky trendy things. Bright colors and jewel-tones look great with my olive skin tone. I also like to wear ethnic prints that just seem to mesh well with my ethnic features. But too much color can get a little clownish and the ethnic wear can get a little too hippie sometimes. I need to strike a happy medium!

I have a very small waist (my best feature) so I like wearing things that accentuate it. I also like styles that are sexy without showing a LOT of skin. Can you help me look great without looking like the mom who is trying to regain her lost youth? 

Online shopping sites & LINKS to suggestions & examples would be really helpful! Thanks! :-)

As a guy, i stumbled on incredibly in basic terms Jessica Alba extraordinarily. Sophia's gown replaced into greater desirable, yet she had a unusual and wonderful innovations-set. Jessica's outstanding, yet her gown looks in simple terms like a cupcake! besides... i think of whilst it comes right down to vogue that's how we ought to experience and how different responds to us this is astrologically controlled. Taureans regularly do unlike donning fiddly issues - like jewelry, watches, necklaces, bands, etc. they could for a whilst, yet not continually. Taureans incredibly do not opt to be afflicted by utilising little fiddly issues. And whilst something does embellish them for a while, that's in all probability very particular - like a bracelet given by utilising a kin member or something. And Taurus continually needs to look cool... besides, I unquestionably have an overactive innovations, sorry. Lol! see ya.
