I'm 21, but people usually guess I'm around 15. The worst was when I volunteered in a middle school for the last few weeks of the term, and multiple people thought I was a student there. So I totally get where you're coming from with this

The things my sister always bugs me about:
-pluck your eyebrows
-wear make-up
-wear solid-color tops with details in the cut, rather than printed t-shirts or such
-wear sophisticated shoes, especially heels
-wear earrings (but not childish ones obviously)
-consider dying your hair a good color (what color totally depends on what looks good on you - there's not one color that makes everyone look older, but it doesn't have to be a natural color - my hair is blue and black at the moment, and it actually helps a lot)

Short of that, um, hire my sister as an image consultant? After taking her advice, I went out to dinner with my parents, and people actually guessed that I'd finished high school!!! So maybe still not 21, but it's a huge improvement over thinking I'm just starting high school. And keeping in mind that my sister is 3 1/2 years younger than I am, I have to say she's pretty good at this.
