I'm over 50 too, and you are giving me the courage to try them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-190826 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:52:22 +0000 Lisa 190826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love all three outfits. The vest looks great, and I don't think I would care for it buttoned up anyway. I really like the idea to add pearls or a flower pin to the vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-190824 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 20:45:57 +0000 tarzy 190824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Traci - thanks! I love that rug, too. It's a Karastan (Paysage) we got at The Great Indoors at one of their amazing sales last year - 25% off I think. It's so pretty IRL. It makes that room!</p> <p>Kyle - I love the idea of adding something to soften the denim vest! I didn't realize until you mentioned it, but I think that's been my concern with keeping it. It feels a tad rough or maybe masculine. My challenge is always how to look feminine but still keep it simple (frilly doesn't work for me!) I like your suggestion of something classic like pearls. I'll play around with that! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-190797 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 19:59:27 +0000 Scarlet 190797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tarzy, I am still a leggings hold-out, but I quite like these outfits on you. Both shoes work, but I REALLY like the outfit with the vest. It really kicks it up a notch. I don't think you need to be able to button the vest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-190525 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 04:29:40 +0000 Kyle 190525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>T, the leggings and tunic are flattering and this look really works for you. I like the flats and the heels, and slightly prefer the flats. The vest is a great addition. I like to make sure I soften the look when I wear the denim vest...a long strand of pearls might do the trick. Or maybe a floral pin. Just bought a pair of leggings yesterday. I was inspired by all the chic, mostly Japanese, women I saw wearing leggings in Hawaii. Now I'm inspired by you, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-190408 Tue, 27 Jul 2010 01:27:26 +0000 sinead 190408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in leggings! And it seems like all these too-short dresses they have in stores right now will be perfect for them. </p> <p>Love the vest, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-190356 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 22:20:00 +0000 Traci 190356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whenever you post outfit pics, I have such a hard time focusing on the outfits instead of that amazing rug in the background. **drool**</p> <p>ps. I really like it with the vest and flats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-190334 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 21:07:14 +0000 Polly (thunalata) 190334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really great outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-190332 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 21:04:16 +0000 Donna 190332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tara, I think you look great. I'm 51 and have gravitated to dresses and skirts for summer. I'm a slim hipped inverted triangle (wide shoulder, small bust), so a different body type from you, but I really don't like bermudas on me either. I also think dresses and skirts are much more comfortable in hot weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-190238 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 16:36:52 +0000 Anonymous 190238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all three of your outfits, especially with vest. You've inspired me to add leggings to my Hinge vest + black knit dress. BTW, I think you'd love a sleeveless jacket like the black Trina Turk that's one of Angie's NAS picks. It's another way of adding structure to a casual summer outfit. There are less expensive versions around.<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/page/2/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/page/2/</a> (Click on the second entry under jackets) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-190085 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 05:41:14 +0000 Anonymous 190085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all of the pictures.<br /> You do not look over 50, you are still so fresh and dewy!<br /> In looking at the leggins picture, I wonder if it would be better to adjust the leggings to the more narrow part of your leg right under the knee? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-190067 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 04:53:36 +0000 Sihaya 190067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tara - you look GREAT. My fav is the 2nd outfit but they all work well. Leggings really suit you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-190063 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 04:48:02 +0000 AJ 190063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I luv this dress and leggings combo better than the bermudas! Do you feel more put together and chic in it? You should because you do! The flats are OK but the heeled sandals are better. I like the pop of red and smiled that you duplicated with a black pair. : )</p> <p>I was just thinking about you today while I was at a baseball game. I was seeing so many ladies in clams and capris that I thought of you and how you felt your calves were big. I was thinking if you could put your hem line halfway at your calves then that might help. Looks like you thought of that as well with the leggings. So now try some slim legged capris at that point and see how you feel about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-190054 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 04:03:13 +0000 Reneeb 190054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in all three outfits. The leggings is a good look on you. I am 51 and just my nerve up to wear my Hinge vest over a black sleeveless dress to church this morning and got so many compliments. After seeing you maybe next time I will try the leggings under a dress. My vest does not button either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-190023 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 03:01:10 +0000 Carole 190023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it all, Tara! The leggings really work with everything, I like the flats just as much as the heels and the vest looks great, it doesn't really matter that you can't button it, because you would probably never wear it button anyway! Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189964 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 01:36:07 +0000 Sparky 189964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two thumbs up to the leggings + dress with both sets of shoes! Like the flats a teeny bit more in this case. Start wearing leggings more often! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189962 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 01:34:52 +0000 Tanya 189962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they all work, especially with heels. You look great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189956 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 01:32:16 +0000 MNsara 189956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>tarzy - I love, love, love this look on you!! Try it out and about and see just how fab you feel and just how differently people might interact with you! </p> <p>Either shoes work great. I prefer the bolder, statement type of necklace with such an understated dress/leggings ensemble. Or try a statement bangle instead. The vest adds perfect structure and who cares that it doesn't button closed - that would look weird and then it would look too big when open. . . </p> <p>The only drawback I can see is the black dress in the hot sun, so look to add another dress/tunic in a medium color (don't get carried away and go all 'light' right away ;-).</p> <p>I just spent the past 7-10 days wearing nothing but dresses with leggings (that is its own story) and I was treated so nicely and did NOT feel invisible nor frumpy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189950 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 01:29:00 +0000 taylor 189950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous !!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189915 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:43:17 +0000 Queen Mum 189915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love this look on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189914 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:35:06 +0000 Tara 189914@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those heeled red sandals and the necklace you've worn with that all black outfit!<br /> I like the vest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189913 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:32:28 +0000 Sveta 189913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like them all - you rock leggiongs. Where have you been that past year?:-)<br /> I would add some colorful accessories to the outfit #1. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189907 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:25:24 +0000 Angie 189907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER last two outfits (with the red accessories and trucker vest). Need I say more? </p> <p>VERY chuffed that you decided to give leggings a go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189884 Mon, 26 Jul 2010 00:02:41 +0000 chewyspaghetti 189884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!<br /> I think flats and heels both work (and let's face it- you will want them both for different things probably), and I love the vest. I have the jacket version, and mine doesn't close, either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189867 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 23:20:22 +0000 Katiepea 189867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tarzy, I nearly fell off my chair when you said you were over 50! You have the most amazingly beautiful skin. (Sorry, getting side-tracked here...)</p> <p>I really like all three looks that you have here. The only extra thing you could consider is whether an extra accessory, such as a long necklace would add extra visual interest if you were wanting to break up the black and create an extra vertical line. However, the outfit simply accessorised as you have done in your pictures, also looks tremendous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189861 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 22:58:51 +0000 annagybe 189861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all three and I think the vest looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189845 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 22:26:58 +0000 Vix 189845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the heels or flats, too. If you care about such things, the heels break up your leg line a bit -- but they are a great color for summer + have a boho flavor that I think you said you gravitate toward.</p> <p>ps Is that your post-haircut hair? Either way, it's looking so much like your inspiration photo (aka great!). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189839 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 22:09:07 +0000 hautehannah 189839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the heels and the flats. The flats more so.</p> <p>I think you could rock the vest on a different dress, but I like the black dress with black leggings better. Looks more streamlined.</p> <p>I really think a turqiouse tunic/dress would look really cute on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189826 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 21:43:22 +0000 Isabel 189826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1. I love it all !!! ( both heels and flats )</p> <p>2. You are over 50 ? For real ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/option-2-casual-over-50#post-189824 Sun, 25 Jul 2010 21:41:04 +0000 Louise 189824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this with the flats and heels and the trucker vest is great, dresses and leggings are my go to casual outfit hummm come to think of it smart casual too x </p>
