Last weekend, I had the pleasure of going to the Summer Fashion Show at Santana Row! It was such a fun day and it was great to see chic and wearable outfits on the runway! If you’re in the Bay Area, I’m sure you’ve been to Santana Row. It’s the hot spot for dining and fashion in San Jose.
Definitely one of my favorite things about summer is getting time to hang with my girls! Last week I got to have lunch with Cathy of Bay Area Fashionista at Flights in Campbell. Cute atmosphere, good food, and fabulous company!
It’s that time of year again and I keep hearing … “suns out, bums out” …. “suns out, guns out” … ! Oh dear … what if you’re less than excited about showing off your legs and arms than … whoever made up those silly sayings?! Me to the rescue with my summer style guide …. especially for women over 40, over 50, and beyond, who want to look stylish AND stay cool, want to look chic AND be a bit covered up!
How much skin to show is totally a personal question that no one can answer for you but yourself. I’m more comfortable and confident being a bit more covered up. In the old days, there were so many rules about fashion and age, but now anything goes really. I had a dear friend who wore halter tops and shorts into her late 60’s! Even though it’s not a choice I would make, it fit her personality and she felt happy and cute. That’s all that matters. You do you!
