How To Style A Scarf - Style After 60



A few scarf stylings and a quick How-To video on how to tie a scarf and accentuate every outfit.


I love to wear scarves, especially silk scarves. There was a time when I'd wear a different scarf with every work outfit. That, along with pearls, were part of my signature.  



Tip: Check out yard sales, estate sales and thrift stores for second-hand decorative scarves.  Most times you'll find scarves as low as .50 cents and rarely anything more than two to three dollars.

Thrift Stylings - Fashion Over 60


 I love a good thrift find! If you're on the hunt for a few modest pieces to add to your Summer wardrobe, don't overlook the thrift store. I was looking for a few light-weight dresses for church. I made out like a bandit at Goodwill! By that, I mean I was able to use my birthday month discount as well as the "color of the week" discount. Truly, a fantastic day of thrifting!

One of the dresses I found, and turns out to be my favorite of the haul, is a Eddie Bauer100% linen maxi-dress. It's the kind of dress that can definitely take you into the fall. Just add a pair of booties! So nice!

I believe in sustainable or pre-loved fashion. It makes sense to re-use items that are in good shape and keep them out of the landfill.

The thrift store is full of surprises. I never know what I'm going to find. That's the beauty of it!

How I Style Thrifted Clothing: Fashion Over 60

I do a considerable amount of thrifting, but I don't always do a try-on segment for my followers. I need to do better. I get a ton of questions about how I plan to style a certain piece or what made my buy a certain dress or sweater. 


A friend of mine doesn't hesitate to tell me when she thinks I have picked up an "ugly" dress. I guess she just doesn't have my vision! So, I'm going to be posting a lot more of my thrifted stylings geared toward the active older woman. No skin. No tight-fitting frocks. No boobage. Just modest outfits.




 What I'm Wearing:

  • Ralph Lauren Classic Blue Blazer:  Goodwill
  • Seersucker Pants: Goodwill
  • Wingtip Leather Oxfords: Goodwill
  • Silk Scarf: Goodwill Outlet
  • Handbag: Dooney & Bourke (not thrifted)
  • Sunglasses: Ray Bans (not thrifted) 
  • Check out my Youtube channel for some serious thrift hauls!

Spring/Summer Favorite Dresses From Amazon


I found the most easy-to-wear, flowy dress on the Amazon website! It's an A-line design with long bell sleeves and slight ruffle at the hem.

It's a modest length. I'm 5'3", so on me, it lands just at my knee. The dress was so nice, that I bought three! Pink floral, green floral and blue floral. They are so comfy! 

I don't think the dress is still available, so I've linked a similar Amazon dress here.

Active "Plus 60" Women's Fashion on a Budget


 Thrifting is my passion! I have a conservative style, so I gravitate toward fashion that is comfortable and modest. Recently, I found several pre-loved @Talbots blouses that I absolutely love! 

Each blouse can be worn with jeans, a blazer, tucked or tied.

A friend of mine said she wasn't fond of one of them, but I'm trying to win her over by styling it with pearls. How can she not like anything when adorned with a string of pearls? 

Anyway, these blouses, in my opinion, are perfect for the active "Plus 60" woman.
