Who says you can’t rock a hoody. tee and jeans when you’re over 50?!
Now I’m not talking about looking like a 20 year old by adding 3 large tattoos. I’m talking about finding a great white tee shirt, hoody ( a white one goes great with jeans) white sneakers and stretchy jeans (yep, we need stretchy or dinners out are unbutton-the-fly-time)
You need to also OWN this look. Try it out at least 5 times and don’t discount it as an impulse buy.
This comfy, practical hoody sat in my closet for almost a year before I ventured out in it. I thought it was “too young for me”, a phrase I’ve learned to answer “Oh, yeah, let’s see about that!”.
It turns out that just because I saw so many young people in hoodies I felt insecure. It wasn’t until I actually wore it out that I thought, “I can rock this!! (and the pocket and hood for unexpected rain was an extra bonus, what a fabulous jacket for Spring, Summer and Fall. Even just having it in your car is great for when your forget your umbrella!)
You deserve to have that youthful feeling as I did as you slip into your new look and head out for the day.
It’s all about enpowering yourself and having confidence…ready?… dress… go!
Hey… LOOK AT YOU, you’re almost skipping with a youthful pep in your step! You loved it when you bought it, you crossed the boundaries of what the stigma is and set your own limits to keep ’em guessing about your age.
Spring, Summer and Fall, this is now my quick go-to look and I hope you’re inspired to considering making it one of yours too!

Hi Heather! I’m new to your site, so I just saw this post from a year ago, but it really struck a cord with me. I’m in my 50’s and my closet has always contained several hoodies. I never thought anything about it until I read one of those awful “click-bait” slide shows about “things women over 50 shouldn’t wear” or something like that. “They” say we shouldn’t wear hoodies, capris, short skirts, Uggs, … To heck with them. You look adorable, and I say we wear what we feel good in. Just as you’ve said, what makes you look great is the glow that comes from inside!
Couldn’t agree with you more Sheryl! I just bought myself a low cut black pair of converse sneakers yesterday and hesitated. I hesitated for a moment thinking “are these too young for me”? I then realized I’ve wanted these for months. I actually bought them, took off my sneakers I was wearing, and wore them out of the store proudly. I love them and am wearing them right now! I just put out a video on my 5 picks for Fall fashions and maybe you would like some of the outfits, here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJLZ7Bzg850 and thanks for the great comment, Heather
