What a Woman Over 50 Wears to a Baby Shower
Did you know, wearing texture, reduces the appearance of facial wrinkles texture on the woman over 50? It does and it’s a simple trick I use often. The older I get, the more texture I add to my tops! Pattern does the same thing. I only wear pattern in scarves. Which works because they’re worn near my face. This week I’m sharing my newest top with texture.
Style has the power to transform your confidence.
The trend is for young mothers to be registered so they get what they want. I’m old-fashioned. I like to give hand-knit baby things. I gave these at my girlfriend’s shower for her daughter. She was having twins!
I chose this mid-length tunic in a soft shade. The elbow-length sleeves help the petite woman (me) appear taller. It has permanent, broomstick pleats at the waist, to slim my shape and fun zigzag pleats at the bottom.
I chose to wear it with slim black pants and low heeled, suede shoes. The low vamp and peep toe on this shoe help my legs appear longer.
I’m wearing a necklace in my eye color which coordinates with this dress.
STYLE TIP~ Wearing your eye color makes you appear more trustworthy.
Please let me know what handbag you are carrying I love it
It’s a very old Marc Jacobs bag a girlfriend handed down to me
What a sharp looking outfit! I also don’t do a ton of prints and prefer the prints in things like scarfs. You knitting is adorable.
I haven’t been to a baby shower in a gazillion years – I’ll have to wait for my grandchildren to get married – hopefully not for a few more years from now. At any rate, I love your outfit – it suits you perfectly.
Oh my I love that jacket. I am hopping right over there to check it out. I have been so good about not buying things you are going to get me in trouble on this one! It looks fabulous on you. I love every single thing you are wearing. You always look great but this one is the best yet. Good tip about the eye color I did not know that!!
This look is fantastic on you, Jen. I had never thought of the ‘texture’ working for a smoothing effect. Brilliant! I am newly enamored with the use of scarves and now I realize an additional benefit to the color and pattern.
Can you believe these warm temps??
