FRESH & FABULOUS LOOKS FOR OVER 50

Ladies, looking trendy and stylish is possible at any age.  The key is knowing what silhouette's work well for your boy.  Highlight one area that you are proud to show, either your chest, arms, or legs but not more than one.  Layer your look in light pieces so you are not adding bulk.  Light knit cardigans and blazers look great. Break out of the black pants and sweater look by adding fun spring colors and jewelry.  Chunky necklaces enhance a look (but can hide unflattering skin lines).  Belts are a great accent piece, whether or not you have a tummy.  Position a large or skinny belts at the bottom of your rib cage or lower on the hips.  Bright colors and prints add panache to your look.   

Sheath dresses in bright colors are a great option for spring.  3/4 length sleeves hide your arms but are the right length for the season.  Short sleeve sheath dresses are great for summer.  Add fun heels or flats and a large statement necklace (long or a short chunky one) to complete your look.  

Pim + Larkin Tweed Shift Dress, $79

Pair this bright pink sheath dress with sapphire blue necklace, or blue cardigan/blazer.  Kitten heels finish your look.

Kate Spade Evie Dress, $398                      Lilac Bijoux Uptown Girls Sybal Necklace, $54

Fit and Flare dresses are a silhouette that works for most women and are very on trend.  The bodice is more fitted with a sleeve line that works well for ladies.  The waist line comes in above a woman's natural waist and then flares out, not emphasizing your tummy area and hips or creating a waist and hips for those who have more of a straight build.  Look at the length carefully as the hemline of the dress is shorter for the younger crowd.
