Fashion Over 50: Casual Jeans Outfits

This week, I’m doing my fashion over 50 post a day early.

Most of the time, I’m not dressing up all that much anymore and when I’m going out shopping or for a casual outing, I often go to my old standby, jeans.  Jeans have always been a fashion staple for me and I love the versatility of jeans and how they can be dressed up or down.  Most of the time, I’m wearing them with flats or boots and today I’m sharing a few casual skinny jeans with flats look.  I like to change up my tops, pairing them with jewelry or scarves and it’s so easy to come up with so many different combos of jeans, tops, accessories and shoes.  Flats are my friend these days and I have quite a few of them.

Most of us have white tops in our closet and while white is not the most flattering color to wear, it is a good look with jeans and flats.  I have button up longer white shirts and white/cream t-shirts and both are versatile to have in the closet.  Adding a colorful scarf and jewelry near the face can bring out color next to your skin since white can wash out your complexion if you don’t have anything near the face.  So, I added a colorful green and blue scarf and turquoise earrings to add some color next to my face.  A bold lipstick and added color brings out my blue eyes. 

These jeans are from Kohls, skinny Rock and Republic Berlin jeans.  (Affiliate link)

Shoes came from Target a few years ago.  Top I bought in Louisiana.  (similar shirt) (Affiliate Link) 

Adding some color around the face and a variety of colorful jewelry always dresses up jeans and a plain white shirt.  White does look good when you have a tan in the summer, so that always helps too.

Adding jewelry is a fun way to personalize an outfit too.

A local jewelry maker here in Atlanta sent me these pieces from her Etsy Shop, Tied up Memories, so check out Tracy’s shop when you get a chance.  

I love turquoise shades of jewelry so much and wear it a lot, so all of the pieces she sent me have this color.

I layered the 2 chains and they look really cute together and the bracelets will be fun to layer with other things I have too.

I  love wearing jeans and t-shirts for a very casual outing and flat shoes are my fave.  I bought those leopard cowskin flat sneakers that I’ve showed you before and recently spotted these online and got another pair.  This is a plain t-shirt with 3/4 sleeves that I picked up along the way and I found that black and white infinity scarf at a yardsale recently.  Similar long white T from Gap  (affiliate link)

This is not a colorful outfit, but I do love black and white a lot.

These black and white pony spotted flat sneakers from 6pm Shoes (affiliate link) will be a fun addition too, so now I have 2 pair of these.  They are stylish and not old-lady at all.  I refuse to wear geriatric shoes and these are comfortable and cute.

I have loved these Leopard flats from Sam Edelman (affiliate link) for a year and it’s fun to add another pair. The black and white pony ones are very comfortable too.

I do have a lot of black and white in my closest and have always enjoyed this combo.  Here’s a similar black and white striped scarf . (affiliate link)

Here’s another combo with the Covered Perfectly (affiliate link)  top I got a few weeks ago.  This is a great kelly green color and I added a black and white zebra scarf.  With the black and white pony flats, it’s a casual look for spring.

Black and white adds such a great accent to colors.  Here’s another cute zebra scarf (affiliate link).  As you can see, I do love animal prints.

A quick change from the scarf to colorful jewelry is fun for summer too. Scarves and jewelry are like accessories for your body.  Just like in the home, the accessories are the finishing touch to an outfit.

One more casual look with jeans and flats is this J Crew striped blue shirt:  Similar shirt (affiliate link).   Paired with a colorful blue scarf, it’s a fun and easy look for spring.

I picked up this colorful scarf in St. Simons last year and I love the little pom-pom fringe. The brand is Pink House and they have a cute website that I just found.

Flats are from TJ Maxx and are Tommy Hilfiger.  These Kohls Aerosole flat shoes are a cute look too. (affiliate link)

Hope you enjoy these ideas for adding style to a pair of straight or skinny jeans from casual to relaxed, but put together.  These are some of my favorite things to wear for a casual outing.
