Where to shop?
As a women over 50, sometimes I find it hard to shop. Let me get right to the point ladies- you can shop anywhere you find clothing that you love and that will fit your body. Remember, there isn't a rule that says that once you hit a certain age you can't shop in any store you like. I want to wear stylish clothing and I am 55 not 100. Many of the clothing stores that cater to us women over 50 scream Geriatric. Shapeless cuts, bright colours and patterns, and an overload of animal print. I think the over 50 age group is misunderstood by designers and marketers. Its all about honouring your personal style, lifestyle, body shape and budget.
Here I am going to share my findings of clothing stores and brands that are for the modern mature women.

Medical-grade skincare, also known as cosmeceutical skincare, is created to target specific medical conditions such as fine lines or acne. To get into the nitty-gritty, the concentration of the active ingredients is higher compared to what you can find in over the counter.
The concentration of the active ingredients is greater that what you can find in over the counter and they have been tested to be effective on the skin, hence there are greater results with skincare. You do kneed to buy these from a doctors office or a dermatologist.
Medical Grade skincare has dramatically changed by skin, I have used this program under the guidance and direction of a Shelley Clarke at Clinic 805. She designed a professional program that was designed specifically for my needs.

Let's talk Shoes
Let's talk shoes! I feel like most people do get enthusiastic about shoes. Where would we be without a great pair of shoes. My girlfriend says that shoes are wearable art. W have survived the pandemic in basically slippers and sneakers- so now its the season of the SHOE!
When it comes to shoes I buy designer shoes. Why, these styles don't date and the craftsmanship of the shoe is superior that they will last for years.

Its is no secret that shoes are my weakness, I would prefer to wear a simple outfit and a statement shoe. But I want shoes that are going to be a staple in my wardrobe for years to come, so I opt for classic designs that will never go out of style.
Buying a Dress for a Special Occassion
The search for the perfect dress can be overwhelming. Dresses vary in silhouettes, lengths and fabrics and this can make it very challenging to know what is right for your body type. So where do you go?
Best place for a Special Occasion is Revolve.
Revolve carries a slew of different brands and dress styles catering to those occasions when you want to shell out a bit more. Plus they do have a great Sale department and I have gotten many cute dresses for a fraction of the price.
Allot of women have messaged me about ordering online and sizing:

Allot of women have messaged me about ordering online and sizing:
- Pay attention to your measurements, always have a measuring tape on hand
- Think about sizing up and then taking it to your seamstress for a custom fit.
- Know what the return policy is.
We all need a fabulous seamstress .
For my Victoria friends my Seamstress is Else Grimes.

Let's talk Suiting
When you find you need suits, it's difficult to find ones that fit and are classic styles. I have always been a fan of the suit Jackets, I like the sleek classic look. I would say that its my signature look.
I find Aritzia carries many styles of Blazers. They will run about $250.00. There classic pant the Cohans are a great fit and always match the blazers..
