Are you all getting ready for Thanksgiving? We are excited to spend time with our families tomorrow and I hope you are doing the same. We all have so much to be thankful for, don’t we?! Lauren and her family are home and we are so happy to have them back.
Today on Fashion over 50, I’m excited to share a new top from one of my sweet fashion friends, Cyndi Spivey. If you’re not following her, you need to be. She’s in her early 50’s and has a great fashion style sense and she just got a couple of new tops designed with Gibson. I’m thrilled to share one of them with you today and happy for her collaboration!
This black velvet and lace blouse is perfect for the upcoming Holiday season. The velvet is super soft and the lace has a bit of shimmer to it, perfect for a party top paired with a fancy skirt or black jeans like I’m wearing. I tried the half tuck with this top and I think I finally got it right. I’ve done this fashion trend before but never felt like it looked that good but with a belt and slightly tucked in the front, it’s a cute look.
The back has a keyhole closure with a button. So cute and festive. I paired the outfit with my new leopard shoes and love them. I can’t say they are broken in and comfortable yet, but I’m hoping they will get better, because I sure do love them! I’m wearing a Small in both of these.
The jeans are past season White House Black Market flare leg jeans.
Here’s the blouse at home in front of my mirror out so you can see the shape of it. It can definitely be worn out too and is very cute, skims over the tummy.
I also got the chance to try one of Gibson’s brand new sweaters and got this soft cozy mock neck gray sweater. I’ve already worn it and it is super cozy.
It is slightly longer in the back, very casual and can be half tucked too but I like it out as well. The sleeves are slightly Dolman sleeves, not huge, but extra roomy. I’ve heard differing opinions on Gibson clothing and the quality, but I can say the pieces I have are very well made.
Earrings from Just Christi on Etsy. She sent me several pair of these pretty leather earrings and I love them, so check her out.
Here are both tops I’m wearing and the shoes, affiliate links included!

You look beautiful in the black lace top!
I literally gasped out loud when I saw your pic in that black top – stunning! I love the leopard accents, perfect for this outfit!
Thank you so much, Diane!
You look very glamours in the black top and leopard accessories.
So glam, almost a rocker chick vibe going there!
Thank you, Jan!
When I first saw you in that black lace top, I was like “oh, so pretty! She should wear that with a leopard print skirt” Then I continued to read your post and BAM, you are wearing it with the leopard print shoes(😍😍😍), which is an even better choice than a skirt. That sweater looks adorable and soft! Beautiful as always!
Thank you, Mary, I love the leopard mixed in!
Rho,
Wowza! You look gorgeous in that black top and jeans. Darn, its sold out! Oh well, I guess I did not need it.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving back in GA. I know that you enjoy having all of that good food, and being with those precious little girls.

Thank you, Judy, oh darn I didn’t realize it was already sold out. Happy Thanksgiving friend!
like the clothes you showed in this post. That velvet and lace top is very attractive.
thanks also for referring to the ‘half tuck’. I wasn’t aware that was a fashion statement. I had watched one blogger’s postings & wondered if she didn’t realize she only had the front of her shirt tucked in. I believe you got the ‘look’ better than others I have seen
Thank you, I’ve tried it before and didn’t like it, but it seemed to work with this top.
Love the top, just not with jeans. I do think it looks good with the animal print accents. That’s a really nice grey sweater too! I read that that half tuck is also called a French tuck. Don’t ask me why. Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Time to get out the stretchy pants.
Love your youthful look in the lace tucked in. Girl you are in good shape.
Wishing you & your family a wonderful Thanksgiving. We are so blessed, let us never forget. Tell Mark he is a blessed man, so happy you 2 found each other. And he is a good looking guy and seems to be such a good mate for you. Both so highly talented.
Thank you, Brenda! We are very blessed to have found each other,looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with both our families tomorrow.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving tomorrow with your families! Rhoda, you look so pretty in that lace and velvet top. You always look so nice in all your outfits. Thanks for always giving us all the info on where we can buy these items. Always enjoy your Wednesday posts. Hope you and Mark have a blessed day tomorrow and a wonderful weekend!
THank you, Mary-Ann, you’re so sweet!
Love this look on you, but you always look great in all your fashion posts!! Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!! Angie
You look positively gorgeous in the blouse Cyndi designed. Such a pretty outfit you have created with the leopard accents. You show this off beautifully.
Thank you, Doreen! It’s a pretty top for the Holidays!
The black top is awesome, especially how you’re wearing it with the half tuck.
Wow, so pretty. Informal Glamorous for sure! Are you wearing clear bra straps, or strapless with the lace sleeves? Blessed Advent season now!
HI, Nancy, thank you, I’m wearing a strapless but a black bra would also work I think.
I am unable to see pictures starting with this post and the ones after. I like your new blog design.
HI, Alyce, thank you, I’m not sure why you can’t see them, they are all here. I hope you’ll try again. Not sure why this would happen.
