Fabulous Over Fifty: Outfit Inspiration
September 4, 2024
Weaved into playtime and plotlines, women and girls have been encouraged to embrace fashion as a form of expression. With fictional icons from Barbie (1959) to Carrie Bradshaw (Sex and the City, 1998) fashion has been at the forefront of female targeted mainstream media. However, the looming expectation of ‘dressing your age’ imposes an inconsistent and limited window for ‘acceptable’ ensembles. At what age do you retire cropped tops for peplum? The answer is whenever or if ever you want. Reject the outdated restrictions and dare to take risks with your personal style.
