Who says mature dressing has to be boring?
No, please…
Let a former Fifth Avenue stylist, personal shopper and NYC fashion writer who loves, loves, loves dresses help you look and feel elegant, beautiful, playful, stylish…and like the genuine woman you are!
“Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. There’s no how-to road map to style. It’s about self-expression and, above all, attitude.”

*Fabulous Holiday Dresses
for Women 50 and Beyond *
PRABAL GURUNG Jackie Twist Front Silk Midi Dress ($1,395) from Bergdorf Goodman
This emerald green is a wintery color and the silk adds that oooh—so-elegant and luxurious feel. The twist-front design and midi-length are super flattering for those of us in our 50s, 60s and older. Truly a win-win: it's dressy, but casual enough. Just great for holiday festivities!
CAROLINA HERRERA Knit Midi Dress with Bow Detail ($1,990) from Bergdorf Goodman
This dress is classic and clean for mature women who like timeless looks. But the bold red color says, “I’m not a retiring wallflower (though I love curling up with a Jane Austen book!). That bow detail is just right — subtle and feminine but still modern. And knee-length cut is modest, but still fashionably current.
JASON WU Strapless Velvet Cocktail Dress ($3,895) from Saks Fifth Avenue
This strapless cocktail number exudes richness in its cinnamon color way and velvet fabrication. Great for formal and upscale evenings, the dress showcases some nice features: our beautiful shoulders (when I worked as a personal shopper, not one woman e-v-e-r lamented that she hated her shoulders!) and lovely décolletage.
BORGO DE NOR Gold & Black Luna Strapless Velvet & Sequin Midi-Dress ($1,025) from Saks Fifth Avenue
The gold and black combo is stunning. What I love here? How the dress balances between a classic silhouette that highlights natural curves and a contemporary, edginess thanks to its corseting. With its velvet-paneled bodice set off by the lattice-patterned detail and sequins, you'll make a statement and feel both confident and comfortable when you make your entrance at any party or special event.
