Flattering50: Fashion Over 50: What’s the point?

Flattering50: Fashion Over 50: What’s the point?:

'via Blog this'

Get thee over to my newest over 50 fashion blog find Flattering50 and read this excellent post on being fashionable once you cross that 50 mark!

I TOTALLY agree with the observation that as women get older we suddenly find ourselves with the freedom to dress just to please ourselves. While irritating of course (and yes, maybe even heartbreaking if truth be told), that sudden "invisibility" that happens when a woman hits 50 brings with it some privileges - like being able to say "to hell with it - I like it so I'm wearing it!" ;-)

Another fab post from Alison G. over at the wonderful Wardrobe Oxygen!

What a great way to think about how your closet shakes out! I'm thinking it would be fun to reorganize my closet based on the personality styles of the clothes - what a great way to learn something about yourself that you probably never thought about!

Not only is this lady's look AWESOME - but I love what she says about "chasing youth"! It's what I've maintained - you can't get it back ladies! You can only move forward with grace and a sense of style!

Now I do realize that some of these are just a bit too young for the +50 gal - but there are a couple here that could work quite well! ;-)

I'm terrible at adding bling to my outfits - which probably explains why my dressing is so plain!

But I love this pretty necklace - a simple way to add a bit of flash to your outfit!

Something every woman simply MUST have in her wardobe - 2 pairs of wonderfully fitting black slacks! Like the LBD, they are the never fail go to item! Personally, I like to pair them with a crisp white shirt - you just can't go wrong! ;-)

I've been feeling kind of low of late (which is why you've seen so few post from me) on the 50+ dressing front.

That's why I should make Advanced Style my first read every day! The blog just gets better and better - and seeing folks older than I kickin' their style regardless strengthens my heart!

And now one of Advance Styles favorite stylish ladies is blogging herself via post to Advanced Style...Delish!

I've finally gotten it through my head that I need to have just about everything if not tailored than at least altered to have any hope of off the rack fitting me reasonably well! Amy is giving some nice tips on how to handle those hemlines!
