One of the most common problem areas for women over 50 is the midlife midsection. We can maximize our style choices to boost appearance and confidence by making tasteful wardrobe and styling choices that comfortably and naturally highlight our favorite assets and camouflage our least favorites. I’ve pulled together some great looks that do just that!

I have many happy memories of Christmas celebrations with my family. Among my favorites are those when all of us would pile into the church pew for the candlelight service; the guys in their dress trousers and sport coats, and we gals in our classic plaid skirts, cozy sweaters, or blazers. Over the years, the times changed and so did the styles, but Christmas is one of those seasons when timeless looks are always a great choice. I love that the fashion associated with many of my treasured Christmas memories is making a comeback! Here are a few outfit ideas I’ve put together for the holiday season. May your days be merry, bright and full of joy.

A timeless sweater here. A tasteful tartan plaid there. A scarf, a bag and some jewelry pull the outfit together. You’ll never go wrong when you step out of the house in classic fashion. You’ll look and feel sophisticated and confident. Find out what makes this “modern” and why it’s ideal for women over 50.

If you love the look of barrel jeans or wide leg crops but don’t have a clue how to wear them, I’ve got your back. And if you also live in a cold climate where it’s not an option to sport bare ankles in the Fall and Winter, you’re probably wondering, “what in the world do I wear for shoes?”

Great news! Sweater weather is here! There’s no easier closet staple than a well-chosen sweater. Comfortable and warm, a great sweater accentuates all the positives and helps disguise problem areas.

The holidays are drawing near, and it’s time to plan for your entryway decor. The first thing guests see as they pull up for your holiday celebration is your home’s entryway, so take a little time to make it inviting.

Luxury brands are revealing the high-end, premium looks that are trending for Fall. Here I offer up a more affordable way to achieve those looks without breaking your budget.

I’ll be 56 years old next month, and if your skin is “classic” 😉 like mine, you may have experienced a change in skin texture and a new problem finding products with the perfect balance. Speaking for myself, I found that products that didn’t hurt my eyes and lips tended to have poor spreadability and glow, while the ones that didn’t cause irritation seemed to be too greasy or sparkly to stay in place and look decent.

Updated traditional decor is trending for 2026.

Take a queue from nature this season, and add some color to your Fall 2025 outfits! We can benefit so much from bringing color into our wardrobes - colors that give brightness to our skin and highlight our eye and hair color. After all, classic fashion doesn’t require limiting ourselves to only a handful of colors that may or may not flatter us. When we create ensembles of pieces that are cut to accentuate our positives, bring life to our features and tastefully harmonize together, we shine even more. So when you’re out enjoying the Fall scenery, take some fashion inspiration from the Fall colors.

Fall 2025 is here. Will you pull out your old flannel shirt for every outing or put your best foot forward?

I’ve been there. That moment of realization, when your previous wardrobe choices no longer flatter you.
