The Classic Preppy Look

I exited the highway and turned into the entrance for the grocery store. As I waited at the stop sign I watched several people crossing to enter the market. Most were dressed in jeans or sloppy sweats. But a woman caught my eye. She was 70 or older, wearing navy chinos, a white button down shirt and brown loafers. She exuded class. She stood out in the crowd. She was a queen among peasants.

I am 55. I'm not comfortable in low-rise jeans or camisoles or skinny tees. Give me a pair of Dockers, a classic shirt and a pair of nice walking shoes and I feel good. And when I feel good and I'm comfortable, I walk taller and I feel confident. 

Dressing preppy doesn't have to cost a lot. I get my ideas from the expensive designers and then I make them work on my budget. That's what this blog will be about.....Ideas for women like me. Over 50. Women who want to look their best. Who want to feel confident. Women who don't want to dress like their 20 something daughter!
