Fashion Over Fifty: Stripes and Jean Skirts

I love dressy, yet comfortable outfits.  As much as I love to dress up, if the outfit is not comfortable or practical for my active lifestyle, I won't wear it.  I have to be able to walk in my shoes, and move with ease.  So when I found this cute, chambray skirt by Lucky at T.J. Maxx for only $15.00 I was ecstatic!  Soft, flowing fabric, elastic and tie waist, pockets, and the perfect hem length for my long legs….what more could a girl ask for?
 

 I paired my skirt with a striped, short sleeve button down I picked up at J.C. Penney last spring.  I've shown it to you before, paired with white denim jeans HERE.  In that post I wore a lime green tank underneath the shirt, but in this outfit I chose a white tank.


For jewelry, I chose a yellow necklace from Charming Charlies (old), a gold bracelet from Stitchfix, and a yellow bag which was a gift from my daughter for Mother's Day, but also came from Charming Charlies.


  My husband and I snuck into a neighbor's yard to take these photographs near their corn field and swing set.  I was terrified someone was going to come out and chase us away.  But we had a lot of fun being 'naughty' and swinging on their  swing set.  My husband begged me to go down their slide, but I said "No!  My skirt is too short for that!".




 I wore white shoes to balance out the outfit.  I was just reading on Refinery that one should not wear peep-toe cork wedges anymore.  Oh well, I guess that's another fashion rule I have to break, because I LOVE these shoes!


  I bought this skirt while I was in Florida and have already worn it twice since then.  Although it is meant for warmer months, I can see wearing it in the fall and winter just by adding tights, boots, and a blazer, cardigan, or sweater.





Have a great day!  Amy
