How can I look older?

I feel like I used to look older when I was younger than I am now. When I was 16-17, I wore makeup, trend-setting clothes, and always did my hair. I am not exaggerating when I will estimate I spent about 45 minutes a day putting on makeup, getting dressed, etc. I was always told that I looked 19-20. I met my boyfriend (now husband) when I was almost 17 and he thought I was about 20. He was 25. Well we dated and here we are 3 years later, married with two kids. I gained a ton of weight during my pregnancies. I went from 5'3 125 lbs to 5'3 170 lbs. With a 2 year old and a 6 month old, I just don't have 45 minutes a day to put on a face. I also haven't worn heels for about 2 years. My wardrobe consists of plain jeans (bootcut and some flare), converse-type tennishoes, and t-shirts (no logos, just plain or stripes). I own a couple of sweaters, which I think make me look more my age. My problem is that I constantly get mistaken for being my children's sister rather than their mother, ......

Long live youth!!! Someday you will laugh at the fact that you tried to look older!! I was well into my 30's before I stopped getting asked for ID...and that only happened when I was late for a dye job on my hair!! (I was gray early!)

As for the wardrobe---wear what you want, as long as you have the attitude to pull it off!!

Start with your wardrobe - kids wear jeans and converse. Step it up a notch by wearing khakis or nicer pants. Try a little mascara and lip gloss and get your hair done in a more professional style to add a look of sophistication - I can't guarantee it will make you look older, butyou'll probably get more respect.

Well #1 i suggest that you try working out, because that will really help you feel more confident and might help you look older. Maybe if you've gained some weight in your face it can play on how old you look. I know you have two kids, but im sure there is some time during the day that you can take 30 min power walk or something like that. That with a diet will really help you out. As for everything else, why don't you just put on a little bit of make up? Its takes two minutes to put on some mascara, eye liner, and lip gloss. You should also go shoping and buy some nice sophiticated clothes that you feel really good in. Just throw those on in the morning instead of your regular clothes and a little bit of make up and that will make a world of difference. Im not trying to be mean but it sounds like your just making excuses.

If you wanted a new wardrobe, well an upgrdae lol, then you could try wesites such as http://www.boohoo.com/amfcart/index.php?

they have a sale on at the minute and is seriously worth looking out.

Also http://www.littlewoods.com/rf/navigation...

they have some nice things to look at too.

If you don't have time to put make up on as you say, then you could try just a quick powder pressed foundation or base thing, i always find them quicker, with a bit of eyeliner under the bottom eyelid and curl your eyelashes. a bit of lipbalm as well just to keep your lips looking smooth and luscious, or a bit of lipstick in a tone to match your skin. =]

With you hair i personaly dont think you need to do much, put it in a pony with a little skull plait aswell if you want on the side, which would lead into your ponytail. however dont make the pony too tight or too lose.

clothes, try layering clothes such as a summer dress with smartish jeans. or a skimpy colourful top over aplain white, cream round neck top with long sleeves.

you dont have to wear heels to look older, try some ballet style pumps with a bit of glitter or sparkle on them. they look mature shoes but young still. i had a little bit of time to spare and looked on the sale of the boohoo website and there is some really nice things such as the dresses and coats.
