Fashion over 50: Sweaters/Boots

The weather in Atlanta is finally cooperating and we have had some really nice weather lately. We really didn’t have much of a winter this year and even though it wasn’t that cold, it’s been rainy which can be equally dreary. But now, the sun is out more often than not, so that’s been nice. I think Spring is here and we are seeing lots of budding of trees and daffodils popping up.

I’ve got a couple more outfits for Fashion over 50 to share today that I wore on my dates recently. These are some that you’ve seen before, but maybe mixed up a little bit. It will soon be time to retire the sweaters and boots for the coming season.

These are Miss Me bootcut jeans that I’ve shared before and the Hinge fringe sweater that I’ve also shared before. Unfortunately, that sweater seems to be sold out from Nordstrom.  It’s been fun to wear this year.

I wore it with a cable knit long sleeved sweater and added a colorful coral scarf that I found at the thriftstore for some added color.

Here’s the video I’ve showed you all before on how I tie most of my scarves.  The coral one was already twisted like that when I bought it at the thriftstore for $5, but it’s tied the same way as below.

I like coral and brown together.

Here’s a fringe tunic top that I think is really cute too, from Selfie Couture (affiliate link).

Next outfit you’ve seen before too, but it’s worth another look.  I got these pants from C Wonder over a year ago (again, they are out of business, so sad). The fabric is snakeskin print with a little gold glimmer and they are fun to wear.

Here’s a Michael Kors longer sweater with a cowl neck that’s cute (affiliate link).

Since they are patterned, I opted for a cable knit cotton sweater from Michael Kors (and TJ Maxx), with my tan suede booties.  That cuff bracelet is from Accessory Concierge (affiliate link).

The scarf adds some extra color and brings in teal to the mix and my vintage houndstooth coat (found in Savannah at an antiques store) I just love. It’s been a fun piece to layer during the winter.

Last sweater and boots outfit, I picked up this soft fuzzy leopard long sweater from sample sales at the mart in January.  It’s very cozy and soft and I like the graduated brown tones.

Brand of the sweater is Selfie Couture by Trendology.  I looked them up and this sweater is probably last season, because I can’t find it online now.

I wore it with my new winter white cords by Kut from the Kloth Diana and an Express cotton sweater I’ve had forever.

Here’s a link for the Petite white cords from Nordstrom (affiliate link).  The regular misses in white seem to be out of stock all over the web.

It was a fun outfit to wear to the Franklin luncheon and I felt very stylish in it.  Thanks as always for stopping by and checking out Fashion over 50!

    Hi Rhoda — nice selections as always!

    Can I make a suggestion for a future Fashion over 50 post? I am HOPELESS at scarves — can you show us how to tie them to get those cute looks that work so well for you?

    Thanks!

    Laura

      Hi Rhoda! I was going to ask the same question as Laura above!! I loved the way you tied the coral scarf but couldn’t quite figure it out. I have a whole Pinterst board on the fine art of scarf tying.

      Hi, Laura, I have already done one little video that shows how I tie them most of the time, like the teal/gold scarf. I’ll find it and add it in this post. That one is my fave! I need to come up with more ideas on scarves.

    I love love love sweaters and these are all great. I love the coral scarf, especially the twisted ends. Did the scarf come like that or did you do that yourself? Thanks so much for this part of your blog–I enjoy everyday but especially Wednesday as an over 50 (actually an over 60) –It’s great to see your classic style, and how just adding a couple of trendy things makes them a little more youthful, but still classic. Thanks again!

      HI Brenda, that coral scarf came like that, found it at a thriftstore for $5 and it is a good color for me. Thanks so much! I may have to change it to Fashion over 60 after this year, since I’ll be moving to the next decade.

      I love the scarf and what a great find. I have some great things that I have found at thrift stores, sometimes things at such a good price that are almost disposable(notice I said almost)!! And you will be just as happy over 60 as you are 50–it’s only a number and I do believe life just gets better and better!!

      Thank you for the scarf video! I’ll be putting that to good use
      Brenda

      ps. I love the fuzzy leopard sweater too.

      Thanks, Lynne, I’ll have to check it out. I got such great deals on my pieces that retail probably won’t be very enticing.

    Love that second scarf. We have a very mild winter here in TN also. I’ve had on a coat only once or twice. I’m too warm natured (unless it’s really cold) to wear two sweaters layered. Boots have been retired here for the season and sweaters pretty much so! We’ve had 70s this week. I think (hope!) I can bring out the open toe/mules/sandals in the next few weeks!!

    I too was going to mention to you that C Wonder made its exclusive debut on QVC this week. I had purchased some C Wonder jeans before they went out of business which I love. Thought you would like to know!

    rhoda, you look so well put together and classy, and have quite a way with accessories too. alas, here in florida, it is hard to look stylish because boots, sweaters and jackets are seldom worn. i have substituted hats, and wear them everywhere. they look stylish and keep the squints away too. thank you for being an inspiration to “ladies of a certain age” who arent yet ready to give up on looking good!

    I also tie my scarves the way you do. I recently taught my eighteen year old granddaughter how to tie hers that way. She loved it.
