Shorts, Pants and More for Over 50

Jones New York Extend Tab Walking Short (White)

This weekend I engaged in the "changing of the wardrobe." Twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, the clothes in my bedroom closet trade places with the clothes stored in the attic. One rule I live by: Don't buy new clothes before you make the wardrobe switch and take stock of what you have. I'd rather not admit how many times in years past I have bought something new only to find I had bought its twin (or close to it) the season before. This happens most frequently when I buy garments at an end-of-season sale and immediately put them into storage for the following year.

I was motivated to do the wardrobe switch/inventory by two things. First, in a post entitled Ombre, the Fashion for Nerds blogger showed how she had recently taken a sundress and layered it with a long sweater, tights and boots to create a March outfit. I found this inspiring. I wanted to see if I could take a few spring things and layer them up for wearing now. And secondly, there are so many big sales going on right now with lots of ready-for-spring fashions, I wanted to see what I had and needed before I did any shopping.

Now until March 29th, 11:59 EST, Jones New York has a huge selection of bottoms that are up to 70% off. I'm loving the Jones New York Extend Tab Walking Short (White) at the top of this post. They may not be right for short legs like mine, but I think they're perfect for long over 50 legs. And right now they're on sale for $19.99 before taking an additional 30% at checkout. Below is a sample of the other bottoms--from leggings to dress pants--on sale. Again, all the prices are before an additional 30% off at checkout and all the items are available in a range of sizes. Click on the photos or links to view details or to check out all the sale items.
