5 sweater dresses under $50

10/26/2012

Sweater dresses equal quick and easy dressing. To hide figure flaws, I'd buy them not too tight and throw on tights or leggings (regular or cordoroy) underneathe. I think most of these would look nice with gray heather tights.

Not so scary

You say, "Don't talk to me about hose and tights--especially now while it's still warm." Many people can't stand the constriction (oppression?) of stockings, but why not think of them as a fun fashion statement instead of the old work uniform requirement? I do think the trend in favor of colorful legs will continue this year with colorful tights.

I was excited to see all colors (including black, of course) of tights at a Halloween store last night for just $6.98.
Love finding great deals at unexpected places!

Tights may be the fashion accessory of the year--they certainly make the outfit in each of these photos.

You can find some good deals if you want to pick some tights up now. Navy goes with everything--my absolute favorite color tight--and, unlike charcoal, it's hard to find on the fly at Target or somewhere like that. The Chadwicks' tights are good quality.

Target Xhilaration® footless legging, 9 colors, $3.50-$5-- in store the exact same color red as pictured in the Boden photo is available

Classic, old world, menswear-inspired--I love oxfords and wing-tips with heels. Easy to wear with skirts, jeans, dresses for early fall since they're not as heavy and major as boots. They also allow you to show off colored, cabled, or embellished tights whereas tall boots hide your legs. What do you think of this updated fall style?

What Oprah, Madonna, and teenage girls can teach us about how to dress at any age

Dear OMF:
What kind of clothing do you think is appropriate for 50-somethings? Deciding what is age appropriate sometimes can be tricky. I don't want to look matronly nor do I want to look like a hoochie mama. --Susan

Dear Susan:
Thank you so much for your question! I've been thinking about a couple role models and a few clothing tips to keep women looking great at any age. Please let me know what you think....

Oprah is better with age.
Did you see the cover of this month's O magazine? At age 58, Oprah looks better than ever because she dresses to accentuate her body. She also looks much more confident now than she did in her 20s. The cover story in this issue talks about how to improve with age: the article features several women who have come into their own as they have grown up. What I take away from Oprah's lead is age-appropriate clothing is what makes you feel beautiful--inside and out! Find your strengths and celebrate them. Love your curves, dress with sex appeal but stay classy.

"The best age is the age you are"
