THE PERFECT SHEATH DRESS
When I first started 50 Is Not Old I had in mind two objectives. One was to remind women that just because we were not in our 20’s, did not mean we could not be stylish. The second was to show how you could be just an ordinary everyday woman and still be able to dress nicely. When I pin on Pinterest I always say fashion for the everyday woman. There is one shop I can count on to help me achieve both of these points.
Chadwick’s of Boston is a store that can offer you a wide variety of clothing to choose from that will help you look fashionable and at an affordable cost. An everyday woman is looking for clothing that she can wear to work, wear to run after the children, or go on a date, and she wants these outfits to last her year after year.
One of the most flattering styles I have found in a dress is the sheath. I love this style! This particular sheath was sent to me by Chadwick’s of Boston and it is practically perfect in every way. I love the way a sheath dress hangs and this one drapes perfectly.
It has a scoop neckline for a flattering look. The sleeveless dress makes it very versatile also. I decided to wear a simple white blouse with this dress for a more classic look. I will also be able to style the dress with a turtleneck, a blazer, and even wear it without anything in the spring.
The material is wool/polyester and the dress is fully lined. Nothing scratchy about this dress. I wanted to give you a closer look at the material. It is a deep navy with lighter browns running through it. I’ll be honest, this is not the color I meant to pick. I actually meant to get the lighter version which is mostly browns. However, when the dress arrived I changed my mind and decided to keep this one.
Because the dress had streaks of brown running through it I decided to style the dress with brown knee boots and charcoal gray tights. This is a youthful look and one that brings out the browns in the pattern. 
Joe’s favorite was the black boots. This is a classic look and your attention is on the dress. Here is what I can tell you, Chadwick’s of Boston offers quality affordable styles that everybody can wear. An additional 20% off would make everything even MORE affordable. At checkout use the code CH64337.
I am not sure which boot you prefer with the dress but I know that everyone can give Chadwick’s of Boston a big thumbs up.
Just out of curiosity, though, which boots do you like best with the dress?

What a cute versatile outfit. I am with Joe, I prefer the black boots–they elongate with a more vertical line. The brown boots work as well and provide a more casual look in my humble opinion.
I’m with Joe–black boots give it a polished look!
Just by way of comparison, I have two skirt outfits I ordered from Chadwick’s about twelve years ago, and they not only are still in regular rotation in my closet but look practically new.
You could put a slightly tailored jacket over this ensemble and kick it up even further. What a classic (and classy) look!
Cute outfit! I love how you styled the necklace with the outfit. Perfect for work. Thanks for the idea!
I haven’t ordered from Chadwick’s since college. Thy always had well made, classic clothing at reasonable prices. Nice weight t-shirts and professional blazers and skirts. Cute dresses too. This look is fabulous. I’m with Joe on the black boots. Just gives the look a more stylish edge. The brown boots are a bit more casual. Good work look.
I think I like the black boots best, I also think its because of the little heel.
I’m with Joe on this one, the black boots look best. They give the outfit a more “sleek” look.
I love the colors and cut of this dress! Both boots look great 🙂 Great versatile sheath dress, thank you for sharing.
I like the black boots the best. I wish you had styled it with black shoe boots, just to see how it looked.
FYI
I wore one of your outfits to school yesterday and received so many compliments. It was the denim jacket, blanket scarf,wine color pants,and a blue top. I pulled up your post of the outfit to show my teacher friends. They loved it!
That is cool, Rebecca!!! Thanks for spreading the word about the blog.
I love them both ways. You give me so many great ideas to create a practical and elegant look. I’ve even got the ladies in my office following you now!
Thanks Deborah, for getting my blog out there. I liked both styles of boots. I think that is the same with most outfits, there are usually more than one way to wear something. You should experiment to see which yo like best.
