HOW A WOMAN OVER 50 ROCKS A COCKTAIL DRESS
I mentioned earlier that I have a couple of trips in September and one in October. All of these trips will have events where I need to have a dressy outfit, and I thought some of you might have similar events planned. So, I’m going a cocktail dress that I plan on taking with me for times when I need to have cocktail attire.
I don’t know about you, but my closet is not filled with cocktail-ready dresses. The few that are in my closet aren’t in style now, or they no longer fit. That seems to be the story of my life. Lol! When I save an item I love, it never seems to work once I’m ready to wear it again. But, I found this dress fits perfectly, and I think it will be perfect.
This One-Shoulder ChiffonShort Dress in Scarlett is stunning!!! I think this gorgeous red dress is CHIC and makes a huge statement. The dress doesn’t show any lumps and bumps, which is always a big plus. The dress is also comfortable, and because it is a one-shoulder, I don’t worry about it slipping down like a strapless dress. The strapless bra I use is from SPANX, and I find that it is as comfortable as a strapless bra can be. The dress I’m wearing is a size 1, and it fits me great.
I think this Artistisan Handbag Tote is so eye-catching! The tote looks great with jeans, and I can see myself carrying this a lot in the fall with rust, burgundy, and dark brown. The tote holds a ton of items, including my laptop.
My granddaughter took these photos for me, and she was playing around with different effects. Here is me walking into an event and seeing someone else wearing the same dress. Lol!
My platform Coach sandals are gorgeous, and they look great with jeans as well as dresses. They run true to size, and I’m wearing my normal size 9.

Love the dress! I wouldn’t have considered a one-shoulder w/out seeing it on you – but I’d go w/dressier shoes & a small dressy bag 🙂
You look absolutely stunning!
Pretty dress, but off the shoulder dresses are a no for me! You’re rocking it though!
Hope you’ll do a winter version when the time comes!
Love the off the shoulder cocktail dress you just posted. Where did you get this? Love your site, too!

Hi Tania, for some reason today the link will not open. Tried on tablet and computer. Would you mind emailing or responding where you found that beautiful dress. Thanks
Here you go, this should work. https://liketk.it/3Mf6L
Love the dress! Looks fabulous on you!
Are you a size 1?
I usually wear a 10-12 in a dress, so that is equivalent.
That dress is gorgeous! And the red looks great on you. Definite 👍🏻
You look very nice in that dress. Your granddaughter get an awesome job taking the pictures! She is definitely a budding photographer.
Gorgeous dress. Still Barbie Core 🙂
That is a beautiful dress and yes you can rock a chic dress like that.
I love the dress! Now I just need an event.
Are you leggings as still in style this winter?
Also, wrote you a couple of days ago about trying to find the video showing how to use an elastic belt to hold a sweater in place in the front of pants rather than tucking it in….

Thanks for providing info on your strapless bra.
Gorgeous dress!
I do have a question and I hope you don’t mind me asking, but how much weight did you lose? And how did you do it
? You look fabulous!!!
I’d like to see the cocktail dresses you already have that are not in style now.
