I Spy - Is it age appropriate?

 I'm a fashion designer by trade.  In my first design job, my design director, Betty, told me,  "designing is a twenty-four hour job - you never know where your inspiration will come from.  You always have to have your antennas out."  Betty - you were so right!  

 

As a  fashion expert, I am always on the look-out for those dressed well...and....um...not so well dressed folks.  Here's a few things on the "what not to wear" radar. 

 

1. Blue nail polish - As I was having my nails done at the salon  recently, a senior age woman next to me was choosing blue enamel for her nails.  I felt that it wasn't the right color for her age bracket.   For summer, a pretty pink or coral is great for all ages.  Trendy colors like blue, yellow, green and purple are best for the younger gals.     

 

2. Bikinis- Only trimmed and toned women in bikinis please.   A "spare tire" midsection or gut hanging over a bikini bottom is just not attractive.   A stylish tankini can slim down and cover up plus give the convenience of a two piece but the coverage and comfort of a one piece swimsuit.   

  

3. Mini skirts and short shorts - If you are fortunate to have shapely legs free of noticable veins or age spots, knee length skirts or Bermuda shorts can still complement your well-turned ankle.   Sixty plus women should avoid hot pants or mini skirts as they they are just not the right style for their age bracket.   The most flattering length for legs of any age is knee length which never goes out of style.

What's in YOUR closet?
Sundress coverage 
 

As the temps soar, sundresses are a great way to beat the heat.  If your style of dress is barer than you desire, layer a tank or camisole under your sundress for a coordinated look.  To eliminate bulk, one layering piece is sufficient (afterall, baby, it's hot outside).  Be sure to coordinate colors without mixing patterns for a cool look that is sure to keep you cool! 

 

  

green sundress

This green & white stripe tank clashes with the green print halter dress.  An olive army camo bag adds additional insult to this oufit.  

plaid sundress

A pink camisole complements the colors in the plaid and provides greater coverage.
