Dressing Young (2024)

I OD-ed on designer shoes during the
recent designer sales, so will likely not buy any shoes. :laughing: Looking at a car seat, some undies for Mr., and a few clothes for the grands.

I bought a longchamp cosmetics bag, a bra and spanx shirt. I was considering a pair of jeans but the ones I wanted are sold out and decided I wasn’t going to buy another pair

I don’t think the N-Sale has been that great since before Covid. At 12am however, I did buy a Varley sweater (which immediately sold out - can’t believe I was able to grab it), a bra and some PJ’s (both are still for sale). The handbag and shoe selection this year is just meh for me.

The car seat is a great price. That seat rarely goes on sale.
My big purchase was three pairs of underwear.

I ordered a long denim skirt. I remember loving my denim skirt in my 20’s. I’m not sure if I can pull it off at 63.

I went dress shopping at Dillard’s today. I do love many of the current, feminine styles with smocking and ruffles. However, when trying some shorter/knee-length ones on, they just felt too, “little girlish,” for a 60-year old woman. I am also someone who wants some shape to her clothing, and many current styles are baby-doll in shape and/or just kinda hang.

I switched to a maxi length and felt they were a bit more mature. I bought two. I’m going to wear the blue and white one to a baby shower (for a boy) tomorrow.
They are cotton and cool. Both are from a brand called, “Sugar Lips”

Those dresses are very nice on you. Sadly, we have no Dillards.

Bummer!

Dillards is a go-to for me. I’m sorry you don’t have one.

I’m sure you can! :slight_smile: :sunglasses: I finally bought something for myself- a denim dress. Hope
It fits. :crossed_fingers:

Beautiful dresses and look like tailor-made for you. :slight_smile:

I’m with you on short babydoll dresses. They look a bit silly on me… maxi dresses FTW!! :raised_hands:

I hunted down this dress on resale sites… I fell in love with the dress Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman. This is almost like it! Obviously, not me in the screenshot. I don’t have gazelle legs like the beautiful model’s.

It’s hard for me to like something that is blue/white cause that color combo speaks to me so much but the colors in the first dress look fabulous on you! :ok_hand:

@mom60 - yay on the long denim skirt - I bet it will look great!

@Hoggirl - those dresses fit you perfectly! I’m liking maxi dresses too lately. Went out to dinner last night and tried on a few shorter dresses from my daughter’s closet. They didn’t look terrible but it was just a hard no for me on the flouncy babydoll styles.

Definitely like the structure (fitted waist) - in dresses - they just look so much more elegant (to me).

My denim skirt came and I love it. Now to figure out what tops to wear with it.

I’d go with a simple tee or a white eyelet top! So happy you love the skirt.

Sadly, my denim dress in my regular size M was a couple sizes too small! I should have read the older reviews mentioning small or super small sizing. I will need an XL in it but it is sold out!

ETA: I just looked up a bunch of eyelet tops on Nordstrom site, and the vast majority were paired with a denim bottom. :slight_smile:

@Hoggirl - I saw your post yesterday and wanted to say how beautiful you look in both of the dresses. I love the blue and white one and found the Sugar Lips brand online and ordered it for myself!

Oh, thank you! Yay!

I received so many compliments at the shower!

We wound up coordinating nicely with our friends who also attended :joy:
