Women’s Fashion Over 50 – Try On From Ann Taylor
My sister has always been a huge fan of shopping at Ann Tayor. It is rare that she influences me when it comes to fashion, but I’ve learned to take her advice, at least on some things. She is the one who insisted I start a blog, and I am very grateful that she nagged me until I finally started 50 Is Not Old. I have recently been ordering a few things from Ann Taylor, and they have become one of my favorite brands! So, today, let’s look at women’s fashion over 50 with a try on from Ann Taylor.
Women’s Fashion Over 50 With A Try On From Ann Taylor – Navy
Let’s be honest, the biggest drawback with Ann Taylor clothing is the price tag. That’s a huge drawback! There is a way you can get the look without the price, and that is to take advantage of their sales. They have a lot of sales, and everything I’m styling today was purchased when a sale was happening. Even on sale, their clothing can be expensive. I used to be a quantity over quality girl when it came to clothing, but I’ve started changing my habits. I’m trying to be pickier about what I keep in my closets, especially since they are already overflowing.
I was so impressed with the quality of this Raglan Button Mock Neck Sweater! It is a heavier-weight sweater, and you can feel the quality as soon as you pick it up. It is comfortable and forgiving when it comes to the size. I’m wearing a medium, and it doesn’t show my lumps and bumps. The dark navy also helps to camouflage those, just like black does.
Here is a closer view, and you can see the ribbing in the sweater. The buttons are not functional and do not open. I was thrilled to see that because I didn’t want them puckering or showing skin through openings. The downside is that it has to go over your head, so it can mess up your hair or makeup. I use a silk scarf when I’m trying on clothing like this since I don’t want my makeup rubbed off on the sweater. I also keep one in my handbag for when I try on clothes in a store.
I’ve been a fan of Ann Taylor shoes for a while. I have several pairs that I’ve purchased over the years, and they have all held up well. Ann Taylor tends to be a classic retailer that offers a professional and polished image. Since my goal has always been to look polished and put together, I don’t know why it took me so long to include Ann Taylor in my closet. Just because I don’t work outside the home doesn’t mean I don’t want some polished looks. I love having these when we go out to dinner, to a movie, or I have an event or party I need to attend.
These pants are swoon worthy! Plaid has never been something I’ve worn much of, but these Side Zip Straight Pants immediately caught my eye. I think it is the wider leg that makes them look so chic. I was a little surprised they weren’t lined, but I’m fine with that. A lot of pants that I have that are lined end up with the lining showing. I don’t guess I’ll have to worry about that with these. Lol!
Women’s Fashion Over 50 With A Try On From Ann Taylor – Trench
A trench coat of some kind should be in every woman’s wardrobe. They are a classic coat that never goes out of style. There are times when they are trending more than others, but they are always Chic and Stylish and will take your outfit to another level.
Like the Raglan Button Mock Neck Sweater, this Long Twill Raglan Trench Coat is of great quality. It is a very nice heavier weight trench, and I love the deep navy color instead of the camel/beige trench that you would normally see. The buttons on the trench are gorgeous, and you can see they match the buttons on the sweater.
The trench has a belt, but I rarely use a belt on a coat. I have the belt latched in the back so that it stays in put and doesn’t hang. I’m wearing a medium, and it fits great, even with the heavy sweater underneath. Here are more trench coats that are slightly less expensive.
Women’s Fashion Over 50 With A Try On From Ann Taylor – Faux Leather
I ran out of time, but I meant to take a photo of the plaid pants with this Faux Leather Split Neck Top. I purchased both of these outfits with the idea that I could mix and match them. The Raglan Button Mock Neck Sweater would look great with the jeans, and that just gives you more options for wearing your clothing.
The other outfit was more classical looking, and this one is more modern and trendy. Both outfits look great, but your personal preference and lifestyle will dictate which outfit best suits you.
Boy, oh boy, faux leather has surely improved over the years. I love that my ring light shows how nice the faux leather looks. It is soft and subtle and looks like real leather. I love the 3/4 sleeve since that length is more flattering for most women, and the v-neck draws attention to your face. I’m wearing a medium, and the top fits me great.
Here is a back view so you can see the length of the top. These Mid Rise Boot Cut Jeans fit so well! I love the amount of stretch they have to them; they are so comfortable. I find this style of jeans to be generally flattering to most women. I’m wearing my usual size 8, and they fit great.

New reader. I eagerly look forward to your blog posts…I devour them! Love the looks you put together, especially since I love both Talbots and Ann Taylor (especially their sales). I so appreciate the Scripture verses. Even though I’m reading through the Bible again this year, your Bible verses never fail to give me a boost of awe, gratitude, insight, or inspiration. Thank you, Tania, for all you do. Love your house, too!

It worked! I like the Post from the navy sweater to the shoes to the trench coat. I’m trying not to buy black all the time.
Me too! I love black, but there are alternatives we can wear.
