Fashion & Lifestyle for Women Over 50

You’re not old and you don’t want to look or feel it. Hello fellow fashionista over 50! I get you!

We know that 50 is the new 30, but we also know that looking good as a woman over 50 isn’t always easy. That’s why I created Lifestyle Fifty – to help women over 50 find their style and stay stylish no matter what life throws at them.

I’ve always loved clothes, right back to the days when I’d dress up my Barbie and Tressie dolls in the latest fashions. Fun Fashion Fact : When I was 5 years old made the mistake of putting my beautifully dressed Tressie doll in my hamster’s cage so neither of them would be lonely – but my hamster, paying no attention to how fashionable she looked, chewed off her legs! I was mortified.

I saved up for my first fashion item – a pair of velvet bell-bottom trousers when I was 12 years old, and how I treasured them!

Now I’m over 60 (how did that happen?) but clothes are still a major part of my life. I don’t think wanting to look good in what you wear has an age limit, and on Lifestyle Fifty I encourage everyone to buy what they love, and wear what they feel confident in.

I’ve been an accompanying spouse to my geologist husband, and lived in 11 different countries. Now we live in Australia. I’ve had the opportunity to travel, and also be exposed to different cultures, and different ways of dressing. I like to bring a certain amount of quirkiness along with sensibility to the fashion tips I share on Lifestyle Fifty, a blog I created in 2013.

On Lifestyle Fifty you’ll find loads of fashion tips, along with travel inspiration and packing guides.

So come join us for some fashionable fun! Let’s make this decade and the ones to come even better than the last one!

It all starts here…with Lifestyle Fifty!
