I know the feeling wishcat. I am 44. EEP! But I know I can't pull off the outfits I did when I was in my 20's, as much as I would like too, and now I am encorporating the flavor into my everyday wear and work wear. I have a particular fondness for Victorian through the 50's. I mix them all up and get my own style. I may not be trendy but I get a lot of compliments on what I wear. My hairdresser, who is the same age as I, wears EGL.
Who says you can't have color and be molded into something your not? Lovely jewel tones still falls into what you are looking for. Heck keep all the black and just add accesseries in color. Belt, scarf, jewelry, cami under something sheer...the possiblities are endless.
