Fashion Ideas for Women over 50 that are Unique Colourful Quirky Stylish

If you are after some different fashion ideas, not sure how to co-ordinate colours or just interested in what I am wearing, you are in the right place!

Dress me like Kaye - fashion with spots and cow print - The Goddess of Colour — The hat, pants and jacket are all opshop finds. My cute 2 tone boots are from Melbourne and the spotty necklace I got in Bali about 10 years ago

Fashion sense and style

I have often been asked about how I developed my fashion sense and style. It's a little quirky, colourful and bright it comes firstly, from my love of colour. Years of designing and sewing my own clothes and trying new ideas has strengthened this style.

I just love a bargain so opshops (opportunity shops or thrift stores) are a must visit destination. The beauty of these stores is you can shop at a fraction of the cost of new and save on landfill at the same time! Recycling makes you creative and resourceful and when shopping you get loads of fashion ideas.

Some existing items in your wardrobe may need a little lift. A recent purchase may also be lacking that spark and glamour. So, revamping an outfit by changing the buttons, adding braid, adapting the sleeves or adding some applique can transform it into an amazing must have piece!

Dress me like Kaye fashion ideas - Red with spots and checks — I made my spotty pants from Ikea fabric. The woollen shawl I bought in Chandigarh, India. The crotched necklace was a gift and my red boots an opshop find

Dress me like Kaye fashion ideas - loads of purple — The purple Meticulous dress was a great opshop find. My beret and scarf were gifts from my sister. The purple leather gloves are my prize buy from Rome and the Desigual bag I bought on sale in Italy. The puffer jacket was a local find at 50% off.

Strategic shopping

I am also a strategic shopper. By this I mean I buy 'some' new clothes that are 'key pieces'. They are generally bought on sale or I consider them to be very good value! This includes 'prize buys' from other countries. As I love to travel, I like to purchase special items that I know I will never get in Australia and will also remind me of my travels. This inspires me and I get loads of exciting fashion ideas.

The final result

Mix up all these things...travel 'prize buys', strategic items on sale, opshop recycled finds, revamped clothes and handmade items and it makes for a colourful, eclectic range of stylish fashions!
