Colorful Spring Outfits to Energize Your Wardrobe

When I was young I loved the bright dresses, lace socks and white patent leather Mary Janes that I wore to church on Easter Sunday. The annual shopping trip with Mom to choose an Easter dress was a ritual as important as placing cookies and milk out for Santa each Christmas Eve. I’ve always been a tomboy, preferring pants to dresses, but I loved my Easter dress and never felt more girly than when I proudly walked into Church in all my finery.  So it’s no surprise that even now that I’m all grown up, I still long for a beautiful spring dress to launch the new season.

If you’re over 40, perhaps the idea of wearing a crop top makes you cringe. I know I certainly wouldn’t bare my chubby tummy but I also realize there are lots of women out there that are still in great shape. Today, 50 is the new “40” and many 50+ women are in the best shape of their lives. If you have the body for it, bare a little midriff in an age appropriate way with fashions like these. Read more
