Love love the classic look!
Where would one buy the outfits?
Is there a website to shop?
Sorry, but there is something wrong with this complete article. I am not sure if the photos were too much “edited”, obviously by an unskilled person who ruined the natural touch of these ladies. The don’t look natural, their feet and legs are not in accordance with the upper body part, their shoes look unshapely and therefore cheap… No way that this looks like “old money”, or “stylish” outfit for golden ladies….
Agree!
Agreed!
I find this insulting to mature woman. I know old money and not but a few outfits look nice. The other look like JC Penny’s, really cheap. This t**** is not flattering. No older woman want to dress like there 30
We can have class without wearing old leather flat shoes, **********, or sleeveless sh*** with pleated below the knee skirts. How ugly, classless, ugly. Because we are NOT UGLY!
I’m affected. Old money, dream on with your JC Penny’s t****. Obviously you know nothing about class.
These women have bodies and maybe faces of much younger women. The average 50+ woman has hips and a belly plus would look better with hemlines a little past the knees.
your photos are all fake!
Hi guys, I’ve just updated the article, hope you enjoy it!
