Fashion After 50 is about how to dress your age – beautifully, fashionably, and with a dash of fun.

Women’s clothing styles are more diverse and accepting of individual preferences than ever. No longer does a narrow group of top designers dictate how to dress.

You may have to look past the models’ svelte bodies, but there is an increasing selection of fashions fit for the Older Goddess.

The lament, “There aren’t any nice clothes for older women,” is as out-of-date as the phone booth.

What's Your Fashion Archetype?

Knowing your personal style can help you to create a pulled-together wardrobe. Take the fashion archetype quiz to find out your personal style.

Fashion After 50 shows you how to pull together a look that’s flattering, fits your lifestyle and budget. You belong here if:

• You don’t have the time or the desire to shop endlessly for clothes for older women. I’ve selected every retailer on this site for the range of sizes offered, comfort and style.

• You’re not sure how to dress so fashions pictured on thin, youthful bodies will look good on you. Fashion After 50 includes suggestions about styles that will flatter body types and wardrobe suggestions.

• You never see fashion advice for women that adapts contemporary styles to your needs. You’re in the right place now.

Ageless fashion advice for women starts when we recognize our inner goddess -- the timeless spirit that illuminates each of us.

Fashion After 50 celebrates how to make clothes look good on you because your wisdom, laughter, and creativity show you how to dress your fashion archetypes. No younger woman can bring that full-bodied, rich reservoir of inner savvy to life like you can. It’s time to feel good about being you.

Fashion Over 50 weaves together a tapestry of archetypal imagination, contemporary fashion and frugal creativity to show how to dress your age and celebrate the best you with artful clothes for older women.

Fashion – Function -- Fun

Style remains the eclectic grabbag it has been for some time. That makes it easy to maximize your wardrobe and spend fashion dollars on real value.

A recession is a great time to go shopping in your closet and sharpen your basic wardrobe planning skills.

If you’re not sure how to put a look together, you’ll find some sample wardrobes. One shows how to dress professionally for one week for less than $200.

When money is short, now is the time to invest in wardrobe items with maximum versatility.

A white blouse is a wardrobe must and may worn with just about everything. It's one clothing purchase every woman needs, even when times gets hard and budgets shrink.

A jacket is another wardrobe work horse. Whether you want an elegant jacket for lunch out or work, or a one-of-a-kind bohemian shawl jacket, there is something that will fit your style, your figure, and your wallet.

Relaxed fit pants and flattering jewel and earth tones are just some of the great fashion news for our generation.

If you want something new – and new clothes can be such a lift to your spirits - focus on accessories. Crocus yellow is a hot new color for Spring, and so use a dash of it for shoes, handbag, or scarf.

Come back often, and I’ll try to keep things fresh.
