Denim is a fashion staple and finding a jeans over fifty is no easy task. While we think this is just because we are middle-aged, the truth is younger women have the same problem. The only way to find a flattering pair of jeans is to try on a thousand pairs. There really are no shortcuts. I hate doing this as it’s physically draining, but the upside is once you find jeans you like you can buy a couple pairs to keep you for a while.
HERE’S THE PERFECT POLISH FOR SUMMER 2016
I am so happy that I finally found the perfect polish for Summer 2016. It might sound silly but since I’m a creature of habit I usually choose a different color each season and then stick to it. Sometimes I get bored and change it up but 90% of the time I stay consistent.
CONFESSIONS OF A MIDDLE-AGED LEGGINGS FANATIC
I am an over fifty woman who lives in workout clothing all day and I absolutely love Lululemon Pace Rival Crop leggings.

Unfortunately along with these labels comes a long list of how we should act, dress, etc. and I refuse to let others define me. I prefer to define myself with words like fierce and fearless and when it comes to my outside appearance, flirty is my favorite adjective. Flirty at 65? You bet, especially when it comes to dressing for a special occasion like Valentine’s Day. Don’t you agree?
FIFTY SHADES OF GREY: FASHION OVER 50
Okay. I admit it. I like black but I love grey. The different shades and textures of grey are softer than black and I think we look less tired with grey against our skin. But don’t get me wrong — black is an irreplaceable basic and works beautifully with grey. I always pair the two. I think black and grey have a youthful vibe. And you can add any color as an accessory, like a merlot scarf or some turquoise jewelry if you wish.
FALL INTO FASHION
Fall is a great time of the year to play around with your clothing. The weather can go from summer to winter within a few hours so I’ve come up with a simple fashion formula that works for me and I think will work well for all women over 50:
