Chic at 50+

My mother-in-law was invited to a fundraiser last weekend and was quite nervous that she would look too old for the young crowd. She asked me to look in her closet and asked for my advice on clothes without having to go out an buy a whole new outfit. At first it was a daunting task, as everything looked too casual or conservative, but my eye caught on black, aligator print textured pants. That was it. Then, to find the top, I need to find something that would coordinate by not conflict, so we went with a black tailored form-fitting shirt, not too tight, not too loose, just perfect. Worked out really great. She accessorized with chunky colored bracelet and chunky earnings. You would never have known she was a senior citizen.
