How to style the Perfect Blue Spring Dress for Women Over 50

How to style the perfect blue spring dress for women over 50? I am here to tell you all about it! I found this magical dress on Amazon and it is only $33! And I got in one day! What? I know I was floored too! Not only is it the perfect blue spring dress for women over 50 but it also comes in lots of colors and prints. Now let me share with you how i styled it.

The perfect blue spring dress

What makes the perfect dress for me? One that I don’t have to alter in any way. A dress that I can slip on and be ready to go and do. One that works perfectly with sneakers or heels. It also needs to travel well, looks and feels great. This is it my friends!

What makes the dress so perfect?

It is made of 100% rayon and the fabric just flows when it is on. The v-neck is not cut too low. So many dresses these days have such a low cut v-neck…it drives me crazy! Who wants to have to put on a tank top underneath the dress? I made a video that explains all the details that I love about the dress below.

The short sleeves are great because they button and are little longer than normal (to cover up my grandma arms haha). You can puff them up shorter if you like or leave them down.

The buttons all down the front create a long lean look. There is a piece of fabric inside the bust line area so that if it gaps all you see is the blue fabric not your underclothing.

A fun detail that I didn’t think I would like but I love is the ruching around the midriff area. It is elastic and very comfortable plus it helps to give the illusion that I might have a waist!

Who can wear this dress?

This style of dress if perfect for any age. I truly believe this dress is flattering on any height or size too. The length is long and flowy which I love. I have a friend who just bought this dress in the all over print that I am wearing here and she is petite and it looks fabulous on her.

My daughter who is in her mid 30’s also has this dress in the all over print and she wore it in Italy. Madeline even wore it as swimsuit cover up on the boat!

How to style the perfect blue dress

A dress that can be worn casual or dressed up is the best of both worlds don’t you agree? It looks great on its own and any shoe can be worn with it.

I popped on my white denim jacket and wore white sneakers and a cute straw bag with it for fun casual look.

For another look I am wearing a different white jacket. This is one I have had forever. It is cotton with a little texture in it.

This jacket has a little bit more structure to it so it is a little more dressy. Orange/red suede sandals also help to dress the outfit up a little bit more.

This is the same dress but in an all over print. To dress it up I am wearing my black double breasted jacket with it and again my red suede flats. The pop of red on my feet is just so fun isn’t it?

Karins Kottage

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
