Skirts are my go-to all summer long. They’re a great alternative to dresses, linen pants, or shorts. Since pink is hands down my favorite color I couldn’t resist this lightweight pink button-up skirt (limited sizes similar here, here, and here) from Ann Taylor. A white tee is an obvious choice to wear, but I chose a lightweight white sweater that adds a hint of sophistication. Wedge sandals (similar here) add height and comfort, and a patchwork handbag gives a pop of color.

flattering for all body types
Skirts are not only versatile but also flattering for all body types. The wide range of styles, lengths, and cuts available means that every woman can find a skirt that complements her unique shape and accentuates her best features. Whether you prefer a flowy maxi skirt to elongate your silhouette, a high-waisted pencil skirt to define your waist, or an A-line skirt to create a balanced look, there is a skirt style for everyone. Embracing the right skirt can highlight your curves, camouflage any areas you may feel self-conscious about, and ultimately make you feel confident and beautiful in your own skin. So, no matter your body type, rest assured that a skirt is out there waiting to flatter you. Easy to style and pair with other pieces, skirts are the perfect foundation for creating a variety of stylish outfits that showcase your personal flair.

In Case You Missed It
Yesterday, Beth shared how to shop the Nordstrom anniversary sale. Click the title or image below to read the article.
Beth, I’ve enjoyed reading your posts for years. I’m a true fan. So I hesitate to write this, and you can’t hurt my feelings if you don’t post it. It’s for your eyes, actually. And I write it because I appreciate you. Recently your posts don’t sound as “you” as before. The writing doesn’t sparkle w your voice as much and is often v repetitious. For example, in this post on wearing skirts you included both these sentences in different paragraphs: “Whether you want to dress it up for a special occasion or keep it casual for a day out with friends, skirts offer endless styling opportunities.”
And a couple of paragraphs later, “Whether paired with a simple t-shirt for a casual daytime look or dressed up with a blouse and heels for a special event, skirts offer endless possibilities for creating chic and sophisticated ensembles.” Just one example of many.
I’ll not speculate on the cause, but as a result I’ve started skimming your text and mainly looking at the pictures. It would be much easier to shrug and move on. But I blog too, and if my readers were noticing this, I’d be so grateful for a note like this. I still visit your blog almost every day and always appreciate your great style.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I so appreciate your feedback. But as you can imagine a blog and social channels of this size takes a lot of hard work and a big team behind it to bring the magic to life everyday! Yep, we post seven days a week with thousands and thousands of views every day!
My goal is to always add value to the lives of the people who stop by to read the post or simply to shop. And one thing I’ve learned through the years is that repitition is the key. That’s how I taught my children and that’s how I know people digest information. Speculate away, many people do not only here on the blog but YouTube, Instagram and Facebook whether it’s my hairstyle, makeup, weight or writing. But please know that Style at a Certain Age aims to deliver succinct style, fashion, and beauty advice day in and day out as well as cocktails and recipes. Phew!
