What to Wear 50th Wedding Anniversary

If you are fortunate enough to be celebrating a happy 50th wedding anniversary, these suggestions on what to wear for the party will make it a stylish celebration as well!

What to wear - 65+ Fall Style

You may not, as some of those who commented on this post did not, agree with the sample outfit, but the points about the challenges that the post 65 (actually as far as I'm concerned, the post 50 woman as well) faces when trying to dress stylishly are right on point. I'm particularly grateful for point 1 - you do have to acknowledge the southward "slide" of your body in order to figure out how best to dress it post 50!

What to Wear: Mom on the Go

I love the autumnal colors of this outfit - just perfect for fall! The only change I might make as a hot flashin' gal is to do a short sleeved sweater or the casual T-shirt Ms. Teresa mentions as an alternative! ;-)

As any one who reads here knows....

I have issues with edema which has caused me to all but give up higher heeled shoes (through my recent purchase from the Isaac M.'s Target line is giving me hope that I can go as high as a 2 inch heel in comfort - if it's the right shoe!).

So how delighted was I to see Ms. Teresa over at Wardrobe 911 giving tips on great outfits to put together with ballet flats...

I was just thinking...

That May is almost upon us...which means that the main wedding season is not far behind!

Last year I did a post on dressing for the mother of the bride - and what to wear if YOU are the bride. And I was thinking I should do another one this year.

Well I probably still will...but the intrepid Ms. Theresa over at Wardrobe 911 is first out of the gate on THAT question...

how to wear: short trench

I've been seeing quite a few of these new shorter versions of the trench and I must admit I'm taking a liking to it. It definitely gives a bit more polish than the, admittedly, dependable windbreaker! ;-)

Okay, when I'm sick with the flu......

and confined to my bed so sore with muscle aches that I would basically tell anyone anything to make it stop, I've never really cared about how I looked.

But if I did care it would be great to be wearing something like this....
