What an amazing community the Better-After-50 crowd is! I am honored to have been a friend/reader/writer and supporter for over 5 years now and the content and camaraderie just keeps growing! I took a memory stroll back through my BA50 holiday archives and sure enough, as I sat with my glass of Merlot and reread them all, they were […]
Today’s dilemma – you are invited to an after-work party and you are a commuter! You really don’t want to show up at work with three Whole Food bags just so you can change your clothes for a free cocktail! There are easier ways around the styling challenge. Let’s start by simply dropping a dress! Now that […]

Dressing With Photo Ready Confidence
Are we talking selfies?Daily photo opps? No darling, I am talking job opps – forward motion opps. When I speak to corporate groups, it is always a mixed crowd as far as experience and even pay scale. But once in the room, it is a level playing field as we are all there for more […]
