Favorite Summery Footwear
If you can find these in your size, I suggest you snag ’em as they sell out all. of. the. time. I have most of the colors but not this one!
Ilse Jacobsen Flip Flops, Amazon.
I also highly recommend BECOMING SUNSHINE to melt away the chill of loneliness and to light the winding path toward healing.
I love it when the calendar says my white jeans can replace the blue and black ones. I have a few pairs where the back pockets seem too small and unflattering. But when they’re comfy, I just tie a shirt or sweater around the waist and call it a day.
White Jeans, Old Navy.

I’m over 80 and I loved it all…well, maybe the ruffly bathing suit not so much. The lip balm, the chambry shirt, the esspadrills, on and on all make for a butterfly summer.

Butterfly summer sounds awesome! They are such incredible reminders to us that transformation is possible and gets messy first. 🙂 I have to try on that swimsuit which may not be as flattering ON as it looks in the image…ha! I’m just so smitten with the color and the femininity of it. Thanks so much for reading, friend.
Thanks Michele! I’ve earmarked several of these! Love the sunshine quotes, hello summer!

I bet anything you put on your beautiful frame looks incredible, Holly! Hello summertime lovely…YES!
I love that your Fashion Over Fifty features updated and classic styles. Too often you see women over 50 either dressing too young or that look outdated. Love your selections. Best, Kim
Author
So glad you enjoyed! Fashion is honestly so subjective so I can only share the picks I myself would wear. 🙂
Some really fun fashion ideas here! And it’s always nice to know I’ve got a few already. Wouldn’t it be fun if they were modeled on “over-50” women? 😉 But hey, if we feel young, we’re going to look young(er)!
I purchased a similar nail polish in another brand just before Easter. What a truly lovely summery color!
What a fun post for this Sunday morning as we go into yet another cooler than normal weather pattern. Spring (and Summer too) WILL eventually come and stay 🙂

It’s so pretty. I’m allergic to nail polish so I don’t get to enjoy it. Hypoallergenic options have not worked well for me either! As soon as the brands I rely on start featuring over 50 ladies modeling their pieces, I’ll maybe have some stock photos to post. What a lot of folks don’t realize is things have changed in blogland – you can’t simply google ‘over 50 model’ and then post copyrighted images. So I wish I could post a bunch of fashion related photos of women over 50 in a post like this, but getting permissions and paying fees is not realistic with my one woman show. Happy Sunday, lovely one!
This is the BEST summertime post I’ve read so I just had to comment. Thanks Michele! I had never seen the Sun Bum lip balms before…just ordered them!
Author
Hahaha – thanks so much for playing along. You’re going to be addicted to Sun Bum which rhymes with YUM! 🙂 Happy weekend, friend.
You cover every category of style for me! So glad I was perusing past posts and happened upon this – many easy-going, stylish options perfect for our lifestyle where we live. Thank you for your efforts!
