Just because you enjoy having a lazy weekend, doesn’t mean you should get lazy about your style. If you’re stuck in a style slump during your precious days off, then it’s time for a little inspiration. Whether you wan to go out to dinner, see movie, or just hang out with friends, you deserve to look and feel fabulous, turn heads and get compliments! So here are 5 ideas for weekend dressing that are sure to make you look Wow!
1. Swap your jeans for a skirt
Yes it's the weekend, but why hide behind
jeans just because they're easy and
familiar? Instead try wearing something
that will put a little swing into rest
and relaxation time like a feminine
flat yoke skirt with soft pleats.
Pair your skirt with a cozy cashmere
sweater to feel comfy, but still look chic.
A pretty solid scarf in one of your favorite colors tied at the neck will punch up the look, or you can add some smart ballet flats by day, or sexy heels by night.
2. Be Bold in a Bright Jacket
Weekends are play time and what better
way to send that message than to add
a shot of color. The simplest, most up to
the moment way to do that, is to wear
a jacket bursting with color. This season
we're seeing jackets in a deep rich
rainbow of colors from burnt orange to
plum, ruby red, teal blue and saffron.
These emerald colors work really well with all neutrals, especially the new Grey which can be difficult and draining to wear. The key to making this look work is to buy a jacket that fits you absolutely perfectly. Fit is everything especially after 40 to help add structure to a softening body.
3. Play with Scarves
Wait, aren't scarves for old ladies?
Depends on how you wear them.
Scarves can be a great way to jazz
up an otherwise ordinary outfit. Start
with a crisp white blouse, unbutton
the first few buttons and tie a long
thin scarf a few times around your
neck and knot it. Keep your blouse
untucked and team it up with a pair of slim fit pants or jeans. Or, you can even try draping a large colorful scarf across a neutral top for a more dramatic weekend dressing look!
4. Knock'em Out in a Knit
If you don't have a knit top and matching
pant or skirt in your weekend wardrobe,
then fly out the door and pick one up!
These outfits are casual but smart and
are the perfect thing to wear shopping,
to dinner or on a weekend getaway.
Pair a knit skirt with opaque hose ,
boots or a pair of shoes with one of the new chunky heels.
5. Have Fun with Flat Boots
As the weather turns and the leaves
begin to fall, flat riding boots are a
great weekend dressing footwear
choice. Rugged and Strong they look
best paired with jeans or knit dresses
plus opaque stockings. Be aware that
your daughter's heavy Frye boots (yes they're back) can sometimes look too heavy on 40+ legs if so you may want to opt for a slightly finer version to achieve this look.
