Sunday Style on Tybee Island That Didn’t Go as Planned
Georgia may have lost to Alabama last night (ouch), but here on Tybee Island, our Sunday morning was just heating up. I’m here with Kelly and our photographer extraordinaire, Jess, soaking up the sea breeze, snapping content, and prepping for a full house when Andrew, Chelsea, and baby June arrive Tuesday. My “BeBe heart” is bursting already.
But the day? Let’s just say it went sideways fast. Thankfully, the hurricanes are bypassing us this week—so the only drama came from the pets.
- Oscar, my beloved German Shepherd, dove (or fell…) straight into the pool.
- Kelly jumped in—fully clothed—to fish him out.
- Meanwhile, Ollie that darned Maine Coon cat slipped out the door unbeknowest to us and spent the night in a Tybee storm drain. Jess rescued him the next morning. Was she grateful? Ha! Not a chance. She hissed at Jess like she was the villain of the story.
But, hey, through it all, I still got dressed. Because even on the messiest days, fall fashion over 50 is about showing up—for yourself and for life.
- Faux leather jacket – Polished, lightweight, and instantly sharp.
- Striped sweater – A timeless knit that always works.
- Ivory denim – Seasonless and chic, proving white jeans don’t have an expiration date.
- Suede ballet flats – Stylish yet practical when pet rescues are on the agenda.
- Suede Hobo Handbag

Why I Still Get Dressed on Sundays
Even when the dog smells like chlorine and the cat hisses at the photographer, getting dressed is a quiet act of power. It’s not about impressing anyone—it’s about choosing to claim the day before it claims you.
For women over 50, this mindset is everything. Outfits aren’t just clothes; they’re armor, self-expression, and confidence boosters all in one.
Beth’s Style Tip
Build every outfit around one hero piece. For me that day, it was the faux leather jacket. Once you pick your statement item, fill in the rest with easy basics.
And yes—if you live with pets, always keep a towel handy.
