I love the cheetah sheath dress , that style is always flattering but I so want the gingham mid wrap dress…..I always say about these types of dresses – “they’ll never die”
Author
So glad you liked those picks – I so agree with you!
Loved seeing fashion finds to wear to bridal shower for women over 50, but what about lovely evening gowns to wear to your son or daughter’s wedding this summer?
Author
Yes! That post is in the hopper since I need it too! 🙂
Hi Michele,
I love the quotes from Mother Teresa! She’s my hero. If we all adopted her thinking, it probably wouldn’t matter what we wore!! (But I like the dresses you showed us!)

Mother Teresa probably wouldn’t approve of the playful indulgence here as her mission led her hands and spirit to join the poor, sick, and dying. Yet we can still be light bearers in the world – using our gifts and creativity and what makes us come alive to spread the light. 🙂
I can se we share the same taste because I love all your choices. The first is my fave, as it is timeless and classic and reminds me of a dress I owned as a young girl and recently purchased again. It’s also very figure flattering. Best wishes to the happy couple and enjoy a fun day at the bridal shower.

Isn’t it timelessly gorgeous? Shifts and sheath styles work best for me. It’s hard for me to believe the 90’s are taking over in the dress department – have you seen all the florals and lace? Hahahaha. Who knew? Thanks for the wishes!
So lovely to see feminine styles. 🙂 In my area there are farrrrrrrrrrrrr too many events that everyone believes need to be “every day casual”. Now that term alone can be different from area to area but here it often simply means jeans, t-shirts and runners. Ugh! Yes, I have been to a bridal shower where that was the accepted/requested attire. :'(
I’m all for comfort. Working from home I admit to many “pajama days”. 😉 But to see lovely styles at events that are important in people’s lives……well that is remembering and acknowledging there is more to life than just our every day activities.
Thanks for showing so many beautiful options.

It’s fun to be mindful about dressing for these occasions not because we’re deeply superficial people but because it’s often an artful expression and a layer of the backdrop of memories. Thanks so much for sharing candidly and playing along!
Love your comment: “An artful expression and a layer of the backdrop of memories”. So insightful and wonderfully articulated!
By the way….love the leopard print sheath dress. I think sheath dresses will always be in style as long as we can keep updating the fabrics 🙂
Author
I keep going back to that dress too…I think it may have to land in my cart. And I’m so glad animal prints are still in favor – they work so well with neutrals! 🙂
Yes, I believe you did save the best for the last. Thank you for the reminder.

It is indeed a keeper! Thanks for reading and being inspired with me. 🙂
