A MONOCHROMATIC OUTFIT FOR WOMEN OVER 50 THAT IS MODERN
It is Friday, and we have all survived the change in time. Whenever we have a time change, Joe always asks, “but what time is it in the old time?” Why does it matter since we aren’t in the “old” time anymore? That is how I sometimes feel about fashion. We have got to wrap our heads around what is modern and stylish NOW and quit thinking about what was trending in the past. So, today, we are taking a look at a monochromatic outfit that is modern, and one that anyone can wear, including us ladies over 50.
A monochromatic outfit is simple, easy to put together, and it is a classic style. Today, I used the same formula of staying in the color family with one color, but I modernized the look by using a trending pair of jeans. Before you comment that you don’t like wide-leg jeans, keep an open mind about the wide-leg trend. But, if wide-leg jeans don’t fit your body type, then do the same thing with straight-leg, bootcut, or skinny jeans.
This funnel neck dark gray sweater is very cozy and thick. The neckline is so unique and different, and a great alternative to a turtleneck. All of you who struggle wearing turtlenecks because they are tight and constricting might like this neckline instead. The sweater comes in a lot of colors, and I really love the ivory one for wearing with leggings. I chose dark gray to wear with these jeans, but the ivory would have looked great too. I’m wearing a medium, and it fits great.
The Byzantine cross necklace is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. The cross has a vintage look and is comprised of hand-cut Robles wood from the Philippines, this cross was inspired by the story of Empress Helena, Emperor Constantine’s mother, who, it is written, discovered pieces of Jesus’ cross.
I don’t guess it matters if you like these wide-leg pants or not since they are sold out. 😢 The gray wash color was what I was looking for, so I’ll see if I can find that is different styles of legs.
For a warm and edgy look, I added a faux-leather jacket with a removable hood. This faux-leather jacket is fun, edgy, stylish, and modern looking. It is also versatile since it can be dressed up or down, and you’ll find yourself reaching for it repeatedly.
I’m wearing a large jacket, and even with the sweater underneath, it is still a great fit.

I don’t know what you’ve been doing lately gurl but you look amazing! You look better (more radiant) than you than years ago. Maybe it’s your hair style and all the facial regimes that you use, but DANG! Is it the lighting? I don’t know but you look happier, younger and you are glowing!
I WANT THOSE GRAY JEANS!! What brand are they? Would appreciate the details despite being sold out. The leopard ruana is already & you have the link to that..
I think the wide leg pants look great on you!
I do like the monochrome look. Too short for the flared pants, but boot cut works for me. The cross necklace is beautiful.
Where did you order the Jesus from
Maybe they will be back in stock
The outfit looks great on you! I love funnel neck sweaters.
Love this outfit! Stylish, fashionable and oh so chic!
I really love this outfit ! I would love those jeans!
I love the sweater. The colors look fabulous on you!
I agree it looks modern. I’m searching for grey jeans!
I love the outfit, even the wide leg jeans!
Monochromatic outfits seem very boring to me.
Nice outfit…still undecided about the wide leg jeans! Lol
One of my favorite kit, love the grey and with the jacket, it is awesome!
I would love to hear from YOU!
We would also! I do not see much reply to commentaries neither! Maybe a reply here and there would be appreciated. I understand you must be very busy though! I
Danielle, I have not been replying because I am doing a giveaway. I don’t want my responses to be counted in the total number of comments, so I try not to comment, even though I do read every single comment.
I am really living your posts. I am following you on YouTube and getting your emails.
You look cute, trendy and warm!
Tania you look great in everything!! Can’t wait each day to see what you are styling!
Well, you look like a rock star in this one!!!
Oh I love your entire outfit!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the cross necklace!
I love the wash on those jeans, thanks for finding us alternatives.
I LOVE monochromatic-especially Ivory or Winter White. Cute look
You look GREAT! Love the gray, it makes you look so tall.
Oh man, I love the dark washed pants. I have charcoal in the wider leg so it’s close to this color sine they have faded. I like to dress in monotone. I think it gives me a sense of power. I’m 5,4” and looking taller is good.
I love it with the jacket, you look very trendy ❤
Love the outfit! Tania- I think you are looking younger and younger!! Have you changed your skin care regiment or added something? What’s your secret? I use R&D btw,
Love this. I find monochromatic outfits to be flattering to most. Sometimes mix it up with a completer piece of a complementary color
I cannot wait to see what I am going to learn from you each day. I love everything you show. Thanks for starting my day off right.
What a great scripture verse! I really like this monochromatic look you created.
I always feel so plain…BLAH…in monochromatic outfits how do you solve that?
Jacket is so cute!
What a fabulous outfit! And those jeans are dynamite. I especially love the wash of them–can you tell us where you got them? I know this style is sold out, but I’m hoping they have that wash in a different style. I would wear this outfit, top to (almost!) bottom! (pointed-toe shoes aren’t for me…) Gosh, and that wood/silver cross is really something, too–so interesting and beautiful! Thank you for all you do, Tania! 😉
I love the wide leg jeans, they are slimming as well as fashionable !
I really liked this post and the clothing you displayed. You hit the mark! Well done!
I just recently subscribed to your emails and sadly find that most of your clothes are sold out. Disappointing
Today’s post was a nice look on you. sometimes we need to be taken out of our comfort zone. The sweater is so pretty on you ..
Love the sweater and the cross!
I love this outfit! It looks great on you.
Have a great weekend.
Love the grey palette on you!
A+ on this outfit! You look young, in style, and classy! While I am still a fan of skinny jeans or boot cut, you really rock this look!
Love the colors. They look great on you.
I love the look on you! I don’t think I can wear those pants because I’m too short but I do like that we have other options besides skinny jeans now.
Love the sweater! I miss the talks you and the other bloggers had. Will they be back?
Cute sweater…. love your hair. Very pretty.
Love, love, love the jacket!! That is my style!!
Love the complete look!
I just bought a pair of J Crew wide leg jeans and I love them.
Love this look. It’s totally me. Even bought two pair of boot cut jeans for wearing this season. Thanks so much for all your inspiration Tania!
Like the mono look. Grey good alternative to black. Your jewelry picks are always spot on!
Hi Tania : You have the best blog going!!! You give so much detail and every morning I look forward to your fashion pick of the day.
I am 73 years young and love fashion. Could do a blog on how you arrange your closet to make it easier to pick out things quicker??
I know this should be easy but your input would be greatly appreciated
Keep up your amazing work REGARDS Jane Lee
Love your new hair trim.,and this look.
When you topped the sweater and pants with the black faux leather jacket, it sold me on the outfit. What a great way to step up an outfit, so just go grocery shopping, quick trip to shopping center. I always enjoy your articles, and copy several a week to pinterest. Have a blessed weekend.
Thank you for inspiring me to try new clothing options.
Love your hair!
Love the look!
I love the cross necklace. Thanks for the details about it.
I love the dark gray sweater. It’s a softer look than black.
Love love love the sweater Tania! 💕
I love your hairstyle! Looks so cute on you!
I like that one! Super cute! I do like the wide leg jeans myself. It’s fun to wear all the cuts really. Thanks for the ideas!
I haven’t tried wide-leg jeans, but those look so stylish!! Have a great weekend!
A super duper cute outfit! I could see myself wearing this style.
