I'm starting on my pledge to enjoy being more visible today. Here's a look at my new Viola by Anthropologie skirt. Thrifted, for $3.00! It's one size too big for me, so I'll wear it low on my waist. The colors and the shape make me so happy!

I found a cool link in a Huffington Post article yesterday about "What Do Women Over 50 Want To Wear?" ( A pretty good read overall.) The author refers to an over-60 model, Maye Musk, who has a portfolio here.

Wow, what a knockout. No, we can't all have her genes, her fab cheekbones and model frame. But her confidence oozes through, with that huge smile and great bearing. In one photo, she's just wearing jeans and a crisp white shirt. No nineteen year old model has a thing on her. Makes me smile.
Also referenced in that article is Artful Home, a website for crafts and artwork - and artful clothing. I looked through their offerings and, while out of my price range, some were stunningly beautiful. Look and love:

| Sonata Linen Jacket |
 |
| Black Philosophy Shirt |
 |
| Tulle Kite Jacket |
 |
| Sleeveless Mesh Dress |
And many more, including some awesome scarves. Sigh . . . do you like these too??
Hope your Monday is going swimmingly!
I LOVE that frothy green jacket! Yum.
ReplyDeleteBravo on the first official Visible Monday post! While I'm not ready to post yet, I did think of this theme today as I dressed for an afternoon of coffeeshop-based thinking/working/seeking inspiration. Therefore, I am wearing a belted top, my favorite form-fitting skirt, and a cute, chunky new bracelet. Baby steps!
The skirt is a true find! I'm going off to read the HuffPost article. Of all of the other items you showed, I like the philosopher's shirt.
ReplyDeleteI really love the black Philosophy shirt-jacket! Its really cool. I feel so out of it...the wedding really took me off my game.. I will read about Visible Monday and see if I can get up to speed soon!! Be patient with me ...I am still here!!
