Do you dress fun in your late 40s and older? What does that look like?

Awww! How fun. I own a red beret too!

A raspberry beret? One you find in a second hand store?

I like it and I would wear with a pair of straight/wide leg jeans plus a really beautiful statement belt - like Hermes or Celine. Also, this shirt really should be worn by a slim woman with smaller breasts. Otherwise will look matronly and old lady floral.

I also like the shirt. Although I disagree that you have to be slim with small breasts to wear it. Button downs should not be reserved for slim people. It think they look good on people of many different sizes. You probably already know if gapping buttons is going to be a problem for you with button downs.

Button downs are fine on lots of body shapes. But this whole thread is about looking "fun", and a slinky button down in a floral pattern is going to look grandma on a matronly body. The opposite of fun.

I’m honestly not sure what matronly is code for. I am small breasted but have an and have a long waist that is thin above the waist line but with a big menopause belly below the waist line. Basically like a skinny person who is 2-3 months pregnant. Thanks menopause!
