FASHION OVER 50-ONE JACKET THREE WAYS

I am so happy to be collaborating with Peruvian Connection  in this Fashion Over 50-One Jacket Three Ways post. I have long been a fan of their unique designs. They are a mother-daughter founded company known for their artisan-made original designs in native Andean fibers. Their signature hand loom coats and sweaters are distinctive and original. I enjoy working with companies that reflect my fondness for a collected style. I love anything vintage or sourced from companies whose quality is part of their brand identity. You all are creative and original; let your wardrobe tell your story just as your home does.

I love the beautiful details and flattering fit of their Joely Coat. I am wearing an XS which is my normal size in their handknits. Here I am wearing my favorite Spanx leggings (you know the ones), my bedstu manchester boots (one of the few pairs of boots that can accommodate my bunion), the  Peruvian connection extreme turtleneck . I think it’s the best on the market .  It is long in the torso, the neck stays up and they wear like iron. Some colors are buy one and get one 1/2 off right now. The necklace I am wearing came from local favorite Tancredi and Morgen. I am not sure if it is still available but give them a call they may be able to source it for you.

Note to self no closeup side view too many wrinkles!  Isn’t the back of this sweater just as pretty as the front?

Okay pardner maybe I went a little too far with this look. I just got back from Texas and those ladies can rock a pair of cowboy boots and a hat.  I am surprised I can still get into mine.  They are from Ariat and they are super comfortable.  I may dust them off and start wearing them again.

I am trying to learn to model like a fashion blogger (I know it’s hopeless).  I am wearing my …cross earrings and a Navajo pin I bought on Ebay.  I have owned the concho belt for over 20 years.  They are coming back, are they not? FYI the chambray shirt and jeans are black not blue as they appear in this photo.  That’s what happens when you have an amateur photographer. I finally invested in a pair of perscription sunglassed (darn they are expensive).  I purchased them at Site for Sore Eyes in Salinas.

Here I am wearing a great turtleneck sweater I purchased this year from Anthropologie.  I feel like I should buy ten of these (wish they weren’t quite as pricey) while they are still in stock. They are stretchy, thick and super soft.  Did

I mention they are flattering as well? The skirt is an earlier Peruvian Connection version (I will link to similar) and the boots are my trusty La Canadienne boots that are several years old.

This look features  just the skirt and the turtleneck along with an obi belt (so you can see how slimming the sweater is).

Thanks for reading my post Over 50 Fashion One Jacket Styled Three Ways. I have linked everything that is available (or similar) in the widget below each look.  Would you prefer I just link everything at the bottom? I am never sure which is the most convenient. 

Do you like to purchase a few artisanal items to give your wardrobe a more personal signature look?  I would love to hear about them if so. I have gotten a lot of positive comments about my fashion posts. Please let me know what you would like to see more or less of.  Have a great weekend!

    I always love chambray. So that’s my favorite look. Great model you ‘ve got there. somehow you certainly have evolved. Love your look. that sweater looks so comfy and cozy. You’re always commenting about The Peruvian Connection. I must check it out.

    Cindy!
    You look gorgeous all three ways! This jacket would be so great for travel. You have three awesome looks and can take you from flea markets to dinner all with one great piece!

    Cindy you look so adorable in a these outfits! And you’ve become such a good fashion model too with just the right attitude. You make it look so fun. Me? I’m officially the worst person in front of a camera, I seem to channel my inner Lucille Ball right at that moment someone is snapping the pictures. Feeling foolish doesn’t quite capture my best side if you know what I mean. 😂. Always enjoy visiting you dear.

      Hi Leslie
      I have the same exact problem. I am so unnatural in front of the camera. It takes many pics to get a good one of me! I have to force myself. I just keep telling myself that you ladies like to see a real person with all their flaws.

    My favorite is the Western look, but you look great in all three iterations. The Western one reminds me of the pictures you posted a while back of Ali MacGraw – and you look just as stunning!

    • Cindy Hattersley says

      Oh my goodness Judith, I love Ali MacGraw and tried my best to channel her while growing up! She is my idol!

    This is a. beautiful jacket and three ways? What a great buy! You look absolutely beautiful in it, Cindy! Your smile speaks volumes. I’m not particularly fond of my lines and wrinkles but heck, I say they reflect life experiences!!💕

    Cindy – I love your modeling because you look cute and comfortable, the clothes look amazing and it all just feels natural. Remember a few years back when every image of a J. Crew model looked like they were drunk (and they moved a lot of merch this way!)? Anything where the look feels alive and fresh is what works for me! I love all the black pieces, and you are inspiring me to invest. Thank you for these suggestions!

      Hi Michelle
      That was a bad look wasn’t it? So glad they are using older and different sized models on occasion!

    I’ve also taken Peruvian Connection for at least 20 years and love their things! You look wonderful in each of these outfits and if you wore any of them to Marburger/Round Top you fit right in! Texas women do dress up for a great antique fair. xoxox, Brenda

    Your comments about the Texas look are funny. You made me laugh. You are a good model. I saw a photo on Pinterest yesterday that I took of you! Talk about an amateur photographer! I sure enjoy your posts.

    I love that jacket–it’s so unique yet classic. I bet it will still be fashionable in 20 years. I like it best with black underneath, but maybe it’s just that I’m not much for jeans and chambray.
    The turtleneck details are wonderful, too. And good to know about the bunion-friendly boots. This is important info that is hard to find.
    Love your haircut, btw.

    • Cindy Hattersley says

      You know how much I love black so I agree!! I also believe this sweater is a classic. That turtleneck is a winner. If you can’t get it in France let me know. I would be happy to pick one up and send!
