Dressing Young 2025

That sounds like a necklace you can wear with lots of things. It will go with almost any color. In my opinion you don’t want it sitting right at the top of a sweater - you want the pendant part to hang above the neckline or at least a couple of inches below.

I like a lower scoop-neck or v-neck blouse/sweater/dress with a necklace like that

I cannot wear this color at all, but I would pair it with a camel-colored sweater and cream dress pants. I think that is a timeless and classy look.

I did see a light blue Quince sweater that looked pretty. I would certainly avoid ivory (as mentioned above by abasket there would be lack of contrast… but also not a great color on me). For now leaning toward a darker color. In the meantime while deciding, I do have a pretty purple crew neck (but dressy) top that should be nice. Also a red v-neck sweater I wore with it to church today.

I love light solid colors but unfortunately am a klutz and unable to keep them pristine so figure I will stick to darker colors that can hide things that might jump onto my clothing and brighten things up with scarves and washable fabric items.

Same. I do have some light colored dresses, though with a pattern. But my go-to on the road is a black sleeveless travel dress. I wear it with a variety of scarves, sweaters, shoes. In cooler weather I sometimes wear it more as a jumper, over a long sleeved top… with black stockings or tights. Also can be used more like a skirt with an overtop.

And Just Like That ……I’m channeling Carrie Bradshaw.

When I saw her in this outfit I loved it. Didn’t think of it again until I bought the silver satin jacket last month. I remembered her outfit and went to find it. If anyone is interested it a Norma Kamili Diana Dress that comes in 3 lengths and many colors. $275. The jacket I bought on sale at Nordstrom Rack for $199. Retailed at $495. I bought my dress on Poshmark for $90. So my $823 outfit including tax was $310! The dress runs small get the next size up.

I’m taller so it hit where it did.

What I like about this combo is it hides a little mommy pouch. From the front it looks great, but unless you have a wash board flat stomach, I’m not keen on bodycon dresses. Bu I can get away with it because the blazer hides everything from the side!

I told DH we are going out ALOT the next 2.5 months as I’m having bunion surgery on the other foot this time. I plan on wearing every fancy outfit I have. There is a new hot place that’s opened and people get decked out!

I’m out of commission for 2 months and will be having a dry March/April which I’m looking forward to.

All I can say is I admire your fashion sense and ability to ID the correct pieces to duplicate the look you carry off so nicely! Well done! Great fashion and nice prices!

I think I found the perfect bodysuit!! I hate tees that bunch up or don’t look neatly tucked in. A bodysuit solves all of that except most bodysuits are either thong-style (self-inflicted wedge, anyone?) or too synthetic-y. Or too expensive! Saw a Shark Tank rerun with this company pitching their bodysuits for military and law enforcement etc. women. Ordered one just to try and bam - it is great. A perfect black “tee” for me!

Awesome and they’re having a 30% off deal right now!

How did you even find that? I’ve tried wearing one but they show my muffin too.

Is anyone wearing anything fun for New Year’s Eve? We’re going to a party that won’t be fancy, so I’m wearing these pants (wish I had gotten them at this price :grimacing: ) with a sheer black top that has some sparkles (and black camisole) and a scarf that goes with the pants.

Not sure why the link was denied but they are the Loft slim flare pants in stretch velvet that are a deep red. Pretty festive!
