  1. Style over 50: Fabulous separates for the party season

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon   There are times when dressing for the party season when relaxed glamour by cleverly combining separates does the trick.  I love the versatility of separates-  you can dress down a sequin skirt with a plain sweater for a pared down look and a party top with jeans for casual glamour. I’ve picked out some of my favourites. Bardot Style Top I am always a great fan of the Bardot style neckline.  This one from Baukjen  will carry you through the party season but will also look fabulous with white jeans in the summer.   Cost: £59 from Baukjen     Sequin skirt A classic with...

  3. Stylish over 50:How style a little black dress a look for cool evenings

    Comment
    Video by Ceri Wheeldon     Another way to get more wear out of those clothes we have accumulates in out wardrobes by the time we hit our 50s. Once again a way to take that sleeveless black dress to create a look for a winter dinner party – or restaurant meal when you need to add a little extra warmth.   For this simple look I’ve added a set of mesh sleeves ‘under’ and a faux fur gilet ‘over’. I love my costume jewellery – I’ve added one of my craft fair finds – a chunky leaf on a long chain. The effect of the long chain creates a strong ‘v’ , drawing the eye down and creating the illusion of a longer neck – helpful to those of us who might be developing an extra chin as we get older! The dress I’ve used in the video series is...

    Comment
    Interview by Ceri Wheeldon I read and the reviewed the first edition of  The Second Half of Your Life shortly after launching the Fab after Fifty website. Well, Jill has now updated the book to provide women over over 50 with more inspiration and information to make the second half of life the best half! In this video interview Jill shares her motivation for writing the book.

  6. A YouTube Channel for Women Over 50.

    Comment
    Article by Ceri Wheeldon It’s  hard to believe that the Fab after Fifty  website was launched ( in a very low key and modest way with a couple of tweets) nearly 5 years ago. Over those 5 years I have had the privilege of meeting some fabulous women who inspire, and have met all sorts of experts who can really add value to many aspects of our lives – from how we look. how we manage our health, and ideas for travel and lifestyle. Sometimes it’s hard to get the full message across in a written post on the website, which is why I will now be looking to share more video content. We will be embedding the videos on the site itself – but you can also go straight to YouTube to watch all the videos together. Videos posted so far include: Beauty product reviews...

    Comment

We’ve added some sleeves underneath, as you’ve seen in a previous video, But sometimes we don’t always want to wear our dresses dressed up for evening or special occasions. We want more versatility to get more wear out of the clothes we have and create a more casual look  for the little black dress as well.   What I’ve done here is I’ve quite simply added a scarf. As you can see by the scarf I’ve selected , scarves don’t always have to be...
