What I'm Wearing/Fashion Over 50

It's all about the summer dress around here. 
How's the weather where you are? 
The summer dress is a perfect "keep cool" fashion icon. 
I've spent the past few summers putting together a collection of cute dresses. 

Walmart chambray dress, Ralph Lauren sandals, vintage Gucci crossbody bag. 

I really prefer a dress to shorts. In Texas, jeans, leggings and even capri pants are a "no go" for me. 
It's just too hot here for that. 

Walmart dress, dolce vita sandals, vintage Epi Petite Noe - Louis Vuitton

It got hot extremely early this year. 
We had a fairly cool spring but then it hit the upper 90s right after Memorial Day and that is where the temperatures have hovered.

Gap Outlet tee shirt dress, Thalia Sodi sandals (Macy's last year) Discontinued Louis Vuitton Musette Tango

Dresses are comfortable. 

Gap Outlet tee shirt dress, DSW flip flops, vintage Gucci crossbody bag, Ray Ban Aviators-Black, Green Classic

The length covers up my spider veins. 
(The doctor says their removal is purely for vanity sake. Ummm, I know!) 
I prefer that my dresses skim the knee. 

Max Studio dress, Italian Shoemaker sandals

I've found cute dresses at Nordstrom Rack. 

Soprano swing dress from Nordstrom Rack, Thalia Sodi sandals, Louis Vuitton Montaigne P.M. from our Paris trip. 

Walmart has cute dresses. 

Walmart embroidered dress, Michael Kors sandals, vintage Coach saddle bag. 

My "go to" dresses this year are some tee shirt dresses that I found at the Gap Outlet.

There are some shorts in my wardrobe. I love, love some peach ripped shorts from Walmart. 

Walmart shorts, Black 14th & Union tee shirt, Steve Madden Sandals, vintage Dior Trotter Pochette, Ray Ban Club Master-Black, Green Classic
(The sandals were a fail as they stained my feet.)


Thrifted Dress remake, Kate Spade crossbody, Michael Kors sandals
If you are blessed with more height than I, the maxi dress may be more your thing.
What are you wearing?
Thanks for stopping in to view my collection of selfies! Haha.

There is still time to link up to Keep In Touch.

Early Signs Of Spring

Last year we had exactly three days of winter weather. 
This year we seemed to have real winter weather. We didn't have snow or ice but the temperatures were consistently lower. 


The flowers seem to be loving the warmth after the cold. 


The colors look so vibrant. 

My hyacinths were so much fuller after lower temperatures. 


Usually I get skinny stalks, not chubby normal blooms. 


Very rarely do I get repeat daffodils. 


I have fluffed the cushions on the deck. 


All the plants have been put back out to bask in the sun. 


We may still get a freeze before Easter, so I'll have to keep an eye on them. 



Spring is in the air. 
It's time to put on my new cute spring sweaters 



and some cute new floral tops and get back into the classroom. 
 Florals are all the rage this spring, or so I hear. 


Are there signs of spring where you are? 


Tell me what you think of this. 


I can't even. This was in the lesson plans for the first day at my long term sub job. 
It's been 15 years since I taught phonics. I've got some studying to do. 
I'll be back for Ten on the 10th on Saturday. 
You don't want to miss it. 
I'm also going to try to get some pictures of the flowering trees. They are amazing. 
Have a blessed day! 
Katie

What I'm Wearing This Summer/ Fashion Over 50

I'll be honest with you. I'm over 50 - way over.
It's hard to know what to wear. I don't want to dress like a teen but I don't want to dress frumpy either.
I've been saving a few summer outfit photos to show you.
Let me know what you are wearing in the comment section below.


The bag is the Multicolor Lodge P.M. by Louis Vuitton.
It is an older discontinued line. I'd always loved it but couldn't afford it new.
I've updated the style by adding a cross body strap.
The sandals are by Italian Shoemakers.
I actually bought them last summer but never wore them.


I've nearly worn them out this summer.
You can find similar shoes at DSW.


Blue jeans and a black tee shirt are a staple outfit for a cooler summer day.


I got this embroidered shirt out in East Texas at an outlet and I wore it to go eat for Bill's birthday.
I wore it with some Walmart jeggings.
The bag is a very vintage Christian Dior bag that I found it in an antique mall in East Texas.
I always dig through piles of old purses hoping to find a treasure.
The gold sandals are a few seasons old. The backs have the cutest chain detail.



I haven't really been wearing shorts this summer.
Little swing dresses have been my summer staple.


This sleeveless black one was a Walmart find. It is so comfortable.
It was under $15.00.


A black swing dress by Soprano came from Nordstrom Rack.
I love this one so much that I went and got another one.
It's been my "go to" staple for a quick dinner out or for errands on a hot day.


That is one of my favorite tips - buy multiples of a favorite item so that when one wears out, you have another in reserve.



It's great with leggings too.
I plan on wearing this outfit in France when we go next month.


I wore this dark chambray dress to church yesterday.
It also came from Walmart.


I'm not really a belt type of girl because I haven't had a waist since I was a teenager.
I cut the belt loops off of it which is another good tip for you.
The waist on a dress may not be in a flattering spot for your body type.



The little Gucci mini bag is another oldie. It was one of my first designer bag purchases off of eBay.
The Navy blue shoes are Ralph Lauren.
He makes some good and cute shoes. These were from DSW.
DSW or Nordstrom Rack are my favorite places to find shoes.



That's about it for me.
I'll be back later in the week with a trailer update and some late summer decorating.
Have a wonderful day.
Katie



I might be linking to these fun parties.
