Visible Over 50! And A Gorgeous 60-Something, And Gorgeous Clothes Too

Good Morning!

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!


Hard to capture the colors in the morning light!

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!

  1. I LOVE that frothy green jacket! Yum.

    Bravo 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!

  2. 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.
