Fashion over 50: Dance Night

Welcome to Fashion over 50!  This week I’m sharing an outfit I wore out to our ballroom dance place last weekend.  You’ve seen me wear this top before, but it’s a fun one, so I’m sharing again.  These cold shoulder tops are fun and a little sexy (but not too!) and great for a night out. I like that they are cool and comfortable and have a little sleeve if you’re indoors in the air conditioning.

The color is a pretty deep pink/red shade and dips down on either side.  The material is a soft drapey jersey type knit that’s very comfortable.  I paired it with my Old Navy Rockstar white skinny jeans.

I added some gold jewelry and my leopard bracelet and tan Sam Edelman wedge shoes with a little leopard trim.  I got these shoes a couple years ago at TJ Maxx, wish I could still link to them, since I love them.

Gold tassel necklace is about 20 years old from Premier Jewelry.  Tassels are back in again in a big way.

I have really enjoyed these wedge shoes by Sam Edelman, but sadly they are past seasons.

These are not the same, but are really cute with a  leopard accent:

And that’s Fashion over 50 today, thanks for stopping by!

    Love the top – and the color. I like how it’s off the shoulder but still has the straps. Whenever I try on one of those off the shoulder tops without straps, I look like I am stepping out of the shower with a bath towel wrapped around me! Very pretty outfit!

    Thank you for styling what you have, and use what you have. I enjoy seeing the outfits again and seeing how you style them.

    I know you favor blues and greens, but that color looks really pretty on you!

      Thank you, Karen, I keep hearing that so I’m adding this in as a good color for me too.

    Very cute top. I especially love the neckline with the shoulder straps and the color.

    I love all of your clothing posts, but this one is over the top! Goegeous! This is your color. Don’t you have to wear fancy dresses and clunky heels for dancing? All my friends wear the most dated frumpy items. I would like to see you update one of those uniforms?

      Thanks, Gayle, lots of those gals do wear dresses, but I just wear what I want to. There are varied outfits at the dances we go to.

      I was wondering the same thing about your shoes. What sort of sole do they have.
      For about a year I took dance classes. I truly am a dyslexic klutz and the teacher always taught 3 dance steps at every class so I never really got the hang of anything.

      It’s so fun, every 13 year old should be sent to extensive dance classes, so they can get good at it, it’s so social. I went to dances in South Louisiana and in Hot Springs, Arkansas where people are 100 years old dancing with teenagers.

      Even though I am B.A.D. I did discover dance shoes. They make some somewhat cute shoes in wide styles with those soft leather soles. (I have really wide feet and my definition of cute may not be yours!) You can get the sole changed out for a normal leather sole.
      People usually wore regular clothes and if they wore frumpy, that’s that they came in.

      Anyway … I wish I could dance…

      That color really is great on you and the whole outfit is very very cute.

      My daughter gave me some heavyish rose gold hoops and now I feel it’s too much if I wear a necklace also. Learning to balance all this keeps you always learning!!

      Hey, Nancy, my shoes just have a regular sole on them, not rubbery, but more smooth. Lots of girls have dance shoes that go, but many of them just have on regular shoes, I’ve noticed. I don’t have any problems on the floor with the shoes I wear. We are not that far along to go and het dance shoes yet, but maybe one day we will. I know leather soled shoes are the best and I don’t have many shoes with all leather soles.

    I’m not sure if I’m the only one….but I can only see your blog in one narrow column, off to the left. It’s been going on for the last couple of weeks. Help?

      Hi, Carol Anne, I’m trying to find out what is going on with the column thing. It’s been going on a little over a week and I’ve got a guy looking into it to try to find the issue. The problem is it’s not happening to everyone and I can’t see it at all. It’s all normal on my end and his in several browsers. Hoping to find a resolution since I’ve heard from about a dozen people so far.

      I’m having the same problem. I just chalked it up to my lack of computer savvy!

    I’m still having trouble seeing your posts. They are all aligned in a skinny column to the left side. I have Firefox, the latest updated, and I use an Acer laptop. I had sent you a message via Facebook. Still having the same problem. FYI.
