The Midlife Fashionista: friends

Bat-mitzvah style

Last weekend I attended a bat-mitzvah for my high school friend's daughter. It was such special day, which started with a beautiful service at the temple and ended with a spectacular celebration.

Bat-mitzvahs can be super dressy events, so I decided on a black jumpsuit (a nice alternative to a little black dress) and black suede peep toe pumps.

A metallic clutch and rhinestone earrings dress up the outfit.

Similar HERE and HERE (both are super inexpensive!).

It was absolutely wonderful to catch up with my high school buddies. Meet Patrice (center) and Erin (right)... Andover High School class of 1979. These ladies are just as beautiful now as they were then--actually even more so.

Erin accessorized with a glow-necklace.

Richard and I may have hogged the photo booth a bit too long.

Instead of wrapping my gift, I found this sweet box.

I love the message.

What I wore on Christmas Eve

Bittersweet Designs

For the past 30+ years, it's been my tradition to host a Christmas Eve party. It's always a mix of old friends, new friends and family--whoever is around is always welcome. We eat and drink all night and at some point the guys congregate to the family room and the girls sit

and gab in the dining room. Funny how that happens!

This year, "mother nature" gave me a huge present---70 degree weather!

As I get older, I have less toleration for the winter. I dislike the snow more and more every year and absolutely despise being cold. Last night, it was so warm in my house we had to turn on the air conditioning. Yes!!

Because it was so warm, I chose to wear a sleeveless chocolate brown leather dress. I haven't worn it in quite a while and actually wasn't sure if it would fit (I've got the menopause middle thing going on). But with the "sucking in" power of a good shaper, I was able to get it zipped! I paired the dress with a fabulous chunky pearl necklace from Bittersweet Designs (love their jewelry!) and black suede pumps.

Here are some of my soul sisters who are all Christmas Eve "regulars"--from left to right Betsy (sitting), me, Fran, Cathy (my photographer!), Diane and sitting in the front right is Dayanne Danier who is a fashion designer. Her gorgeous line is Bien Abye.

Wishing you a very beautiful Christmas Day filled with love and laughter.

About Susan

What does midlife look like? Whatever you want it to! Welcome to my blog, where I share about style, beauty, and lifestyle for those who agree that age has no limits. While health and wellness play an essential role, I believe looking your best helps you feel your best, regardless of where you are on your journey. I also believe when women support and encourage one another, we all benefit, which is why I founded Uncommon Threads, a nonprofit, and co-founded Kicking Cancer in Heels, a community aimed at empowering women impacted by cancer. I hope you’ll follow my experiences on social media.
