Fashion Over 50: Style Sweet Spot for Weekend Casual

As a woman over 50, who works hard, and enjoys each and every moment off, I understand the temptaions to be overly “relaxed” on the weekends.  But, I have learned the hard way to make sure I look nice when out and about running errands.  I always run into someone I know when I do not look my best…San Antonio is a big small town.  This is one of the reasons I have been such a fan of Soft Surroundings.

They have so many great styles which look wonderful…but are super comfortable at the same time.  I have always been impressed with the fabric choices and the way the styles say comfortable and beautiful at the same time.  This Chambray shirt is perfect for weekend errands.  It is very soft and I really like that the sleeves can go up or down. Also, the back of the shirt has the buttons going down the middle in a very flattering design.   I am wearing a pant that is actually their 5 Pocket Legging and looks more life a pant, but has the comfort of a legging. Also the color is vibrant and perfect for a fall wardrobe.  .  The boots are perfect and my husband loves them.  They are Lucky Brand which is the brand of my favorite leather ballet flats, so I knew they would be comfortable ….and they are!   These will get a lot of wear this year.But, you know how I love accessories and Soft Surroundings has such a unique selection…this leather cuff is already a favorite for a change of seasons.  I have selected some of my favorites below to add with these items…the current collection is one of their best.  I own and love the Metro Leggings, and the Autumn Floral Topper.

What are your favorite pieces to wear on the weekend?

 

Keep Smiling, Everyone!

  1. Re running into someone you know when you don’t want to: that’s why I go to out of the way stores on the weekends. But seriously, I’m getting great tips from your posts on how to achieve looking pulled together with minimal effort.

  2. I need to stop in Soft Surroundings, they opened a while back at our mall. I tend to dress too casual and comfortable sometimes. It never fails when I want to dress down I always run into someone that I want to see me dressed up. lol

  3. It happened to me just a few minutes ago…ran to the grocery (thank goodness I looked nice) and saw two people I know. The lady I saw apologized for the way she looked…I guess because I had make up on! I love the Soft Surroundings retail outlets…they smell good and feel like you stepped into a French Country home. Thanks Vicoria.

  4. Thanks so much Karen…I confess there are weekends I stay in and dress down! Cozy, comfy weekends are good self care!

  5. I’m curious about Soft Surroundings. My hubby bought me two items last Christmas because I love the look of the items in the catalog. I was so disappointed with the quality. I’m happy to see your review, I may give them a try. Love the red pants on you!

  6. I love your outfit and I agree that every time I go out looking rough I run into people. I am enjoying your blog!

  7. Hi Amy, I am not aware of a drop in quality, but I know they respond well to customer comments. I encourage you to let them know if you see something. The pants I am wearing in both posts are excellent quality and I have never had issues with Metro Leggings. But do let them know if you see something.
