Eagle Heart,
Those vests sound like a real treat and I wish I had one! How excellent is that?
It sounds like a good project for someone who can sew or has a seamstress!

Color this year is POW, loud, crayon colors but I think it will get to places like the midwest late in the season if not next season.

New lines showed bright colors of all hues and encouraged things like bright lime, pinks with blue in them and other unique colors, aside from the crayon colours.

I'm not really going to go for the colors myself, I wear mostly black anyway and if I add a dash of color it might be an accessory.

I'm planning a new Louis Vuitton purse this season and I just bought a black dress with wood details. It is short, to the knee, which is my best length.

It's good to go to a place where you can get to know a salesperson or two that know your body and your size so they can work with you on new merchandise and help you weed through all the offerings.

Best,
Dancer

I saw a fashion show tonight for older women say 40 to 80 and the fashions were lovely, the colors bright, and the fabrics, soft and silky. None of the MA KETTLE look. Women aren't standing for the dowdy look anymore. We want color and style no matter what our ages are, wouldn't you agree?

chatty, there's a lot being written about clothing for boomer women. Seems we don't want to wear the same clothing as our daughters or granddaughters, nor do we want to dress like Mom. I think the fashion industry is trying to figure us out. Glad to hear you saw some appropriate clothes that were fashionable.

Speaking of this - here's a site for you:

This company was launched a couple years ago by a family (siblings) and they're doing very well. They're even being sold at Nordstrom's. Check it out.

I did see some of the same styles at the fashion show. I was very impressed with what the designers are showing for older women, the clothes have style, color and the prices are affordable as well. FINALLY!!!!!
