What I wore-black and pops of color

I used to post all the time years ago but I recently remembered this forum and how much i used to like it. Lot of things have happened since last time I been on here-I moved back to Minnesota from Hawaii, going through a divorce, job changes and I went back to my style I used to have since my teens which was basically all black with pop of color here and there and fabulous jewelry. I also turned 50 this past March but as they say, age is nothing but a number and I still wear what I like
One of my fav places to shop are Zara and White House Black market-their clothes fit my petite frame and I can always find something I like. First outfit from WHBM-looser silky pants and top, this was for dinner out.
Second outfit for just hanging out on summer sunday-Nirvana t shirt and Zara pants.
third-casual running errands on cool day-Sketchers, Zara pants, hoody I had for years so I have no clue what brand it was and tshirt from Hot Topic(lol yes)
fourth-this is work outfit, t shirt and pants from Zara, rust blazer from store called Maurices(they have those in the Midwest ) and I been wearing Sketchers to work a lot because i am on my feet a lot and its comfortable and I don't care much about nice shoes that are painful lol(I work in retail management so comfy shoes are a must)
fifth outfit is also work outfit-all from Zara, including bright mustard suede shirt jacket. Generallly i pick very simple styles and accentuate it with bold jewelry

Lovely to see you again, Victoria! Wishing you the best for the next chapter of your life.

Looking fabulous! My faves are #4 and #5. I like the addition of the fun toppers

Welcome to Team 50+! I turned 50 in 2020. It's a good thing.

Gorgeous! Love your graphic tees ( still wear mine everywhere ) and perfect pop of colors! #4 as my fav - love your jewelry, especially necklace. I'd wear # 2 and #3 in a heartbeat if I could get away with that much black ( and had your lovely hair ).

Victoria

Thank you , ladies! 50 is a new 20 and i think the older we get the more we appreciate our looks and more self confident we become

DonnaF

Wow! You're looking great. I think black works better for you than the paler colors I remember you wearing. Love your sandals. . .I would imagine colors look so much different in Minnesota than in Hawaii.

Cardiff girl, yes you kind of nailed it lol I was always into gothic style but changed it because my ex wanted me to look more conventional. But i gone back to my roots so to speak lol

Janet

Nice to see you again! Love all the looks.
You’re looking fantastic.

Jaime

Looking good for any age. I especially like #4 but your style is working for you all the way through.

Hello, nice to 'meet' you. Love all of these outfits, # 1 being my favorite, I love the drape and fluidity with the open shoes, with the ankle ties.

I like #4 most too!

Helena

Your formula looks fabulous to me! Love all these - they look polished and current, but also true to the personal style you describe rather than the trends.

I'm 48 and I can't wait to turn 50 haha ... Not that I'm wishing time away but a lot of BS seems to be dropping away in the shadow of 50. It's very empowering!!

RobinF

These are great looks! Love #1 and #5 especially, the fun shoes and mustard jacket are great adds. Black looks fabulous with your dark hair.

Hi, Victoria, you look great and a very young 50. Best of everything in this new stage of life. I like you in black with the bit of color.

Bijou

You are onto a winning formula, black looks beautiful on you and really highlights the drama of the additional colour.

Glad you’re back. It seems like you’ve had some challenges, so congratulations for persisting. Your style is amazing. Fellow Minnesotan here (Duluth), now living in Reno NV. There are some Maurice’s here, believe it or not.

Dee

So cool and sophisticated, fabulous with those pops of colour.

merwoman

You look as lovely as ever! Love the pops of colour!

Carla

I like your style and that rust jacket is yummy! Enjoy your 50’s! I’m finding that life just keeps getting better and better!

This looks great on you - if it ain't broke...

With your haircut & frame, I'm getting 'Gamine Goth' vibes from these look (Gamine as in the Kibbe type). Since everything fits you well, I'd say you've got the 'conventional' part down fine - injecting our personalities into fashion is part of what makes it fun!
