High-Waisted Sequin Flare Pants curated on LTK

I am not a conservative dresser, but for some reason it took me over 50 years to be ready to wear sequins! I used to think that maybe they were too “loud” for me, but I have totally changed my mind about them. This pair of sequin pants from Old Navy are a great place to start. I like having the sequins as a bottom – I think that gives you more styling options. Also, if you’re a little hesitant as I was to try sequins, I think wearing them as a bottom is a little less intimidating compared to having them up by your face. I would definitely try wearing a sequin skirt as well! LTKStyleTip LTKHoliday LTKOver40

I love talking about sequins, velvet and all things holiday this time of year…but what about simple holiday jeans outfits? I’ve got several for you, especially if you’re over 50!

Like probably many of you, my family dresses pretty casually for the holidays - we all just want to be comfortable. But you CAN be comfortable and festive as well. (No Spanx needed here!). I’m sharing looks with multiple styles of jeans - from colored jeans like ivory and black, to classic denim and to even pearl embellished jeans. You can make all of them festive with just the right tops.

It’s silver and gold time! If not for the holidays, then definitely for New Year’s Eve! I’ve put together my favorite collection of tops and accessories to easily create your look!

We interrupt this crazy time of shopping, wrapping and planning for a cozy photo moment.

I love a classic sweater dress and I especially love one in winter white. I think it just screams holiday (ok, the background may help a little bit!).

My dress is from macys but unfortunately it is sold out. However, I did find 10 similar dresses that I’ve put on my LTK page in case you’re interested in creating a similar look. I included my boots and bag as well.

For all my ladies who just want to wear black……I hear you! This is for you.

We all know that black can be elegant but it can be festive too. Try a fun holiday sweater (that you can wear all winter long) or add some pearl embellisments, either on the top itself or add some fun pearl jewelry.

Don’t forget the metallics as well. You can find a metallic top or go all black and add some metallic accents in your shoes or bag. And lastly, the easiest…add some faux fur cuffs to a basic turtleneck. Stick with black for a subtle look or go with white or another color for a fun pop of color.

It’s “Silver & Gold” season….and not just because the song comes from my favorite holiday TV show!

What I love about silver and gold is that while they are great for the holidays, you can wear them for celebrations all year long. I especially love these looks for New Year’s Eve as well.

You don’t have to go “all in” on silver and gold. If a gold sequin top is too much for you, go with a metallic belt or bag, just to add a “celebratory” feel to your outfit. When deciding whether gold or silver is best for you, think of your skin tone. In general, cool tones will look better in silver and warm tones better in gold. If you have a neutral skin tone, you can really wear either.

Have you ever noticed all the beautiful coats in every Hallmark Christmas movie? I know I have!

I truly couldn’t decide between them, so I got both. These boots are so perfect for this time of year that I just had to share my “dilemma”.

The good news is that they are only $43 on Amazon right now, so I didn’t have to feel guilty about buying two pairs. Even though the plaid pair are a little more holiday looking, they still can be worn all winter long.

I would style each of these booties with both pants and skirts/dresses. I think they would look especially cute with a sweater dress. These are the kind of inexpensive pieces I like to have on hand because “when you need them, you need them”. They are not something you can run to the store quickly and pick up. So, for the price, I will have them and actually plan an outfit around them! I love doing that.

Are you looking for a new holiday color to add to your wardrobe? Then look no further than PURPLE!

Purple is such a fun and festive color and one that most people can wear with their skin tone, especially since there are som many shades to pick from!

I’ve got lots of purple options for you - many that were in my recent “Purple” video. Make sure to check them out!

#LTKHoliday #LTKStyleTip

It doesn’t hurt that purple is my favorite color….but I think you will love it too.

Don’t get me wrong - I love traditional red and green, but purple is such a nice change of pace. I think it creates an elegant and timeless look. I especially love seeing purple in velvet and faux fur, it’s so regal!

It is also a color that I think most people can wear, no matter your skin tone. There are so many different shades from light lavenders to deep amethysts - there is surely one that would suit your style!

Hi! I’m Dianne and I wanted to share my favorite outfits with you so you can get a sense of my personal style. This are all “me”!

#LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal #LTKStyleTip

Every once in a while you have to build an entire outfit around one piece - and for me it’s this amazing blouse! I kept my pants and shoes simple because I wanted all the attention on this top. Perfect for the holidays - I love it.

I bought my usual size but I could have sized up - it’s a little form fitting but fits nicely!

I have always loved brown….and it’s such a perfect earth tone to wear for Thanksgiving.

These four looks would look great sitting around any table while munching on some turkey. They are all casual, yet dressy enough for a holiday outfit. We’re pretty much a casual dress family for Thanksgiving, so any of these would work well for me. But I’d probably pick the one that has the most expansion in the waist!
