You can be pretty in pink over 50 . I think this dress with sleeves from Kaleidoscope is a fun dress for the spring to introduce for Day 12 of the challenge.. It is pink enough to be feminine, but the placement of the paisley print gives it a grown up current feel. Wearing pink close to the face adds softness. The clever placement of the pattern around the middle again creates the illusion of a waist – and helps to draw the eye in at the hips.
The right underwear is essential with this dress – flesh coloured shapewear would work best – especially if you are on the curvy side (as I am).
I would this dress with gold or pink drop earrings , a cream or rose coloured clutch and nude coloured court shoes – unless of course you want to make a statement with a pair of fabulous pink heels 🙂
The Heine Paisley Print Dress is £75 from Kaleidoscope.
In case to want a recap of the previous 11 dresses in the challenge here they are:
