If you plan on taking a mini-vacation over an extended weekend, you don’t need to lug a suitcase full of clothes. Instead, you want to have a couple of outfits for day and evening tucked into a cute carry-on. Since most women over 40 (not all!) like to cover their arms a bit, you want an easy dress that is perfect for a casual chic weekend that can be worn over a bathing suit, for site-seeing during the day, or for a casual evening out. Here’s an outfit for inspiration:
- Vince shirred yoke dress in a comfy jersey fabric that looks fantastic worn with a contrasting green belt instead of the fabric belt that is included.
- Keep it stylish with a wedge cuffed leather sandal.
- Minimal jewelry is usually best when the belt and shoes take center stage so a simple cuff bracelet for evening or teardrop earrings
for day are perfect. And, don’t forget some stylish shades! These black sunglasses look amazing on a longer face and the inside teal color adds a unique element.
- You want luggage that has enough room for a weekend’s worth of clothes but isn’t too big. This stylish nylon weekender is the perfect solution.

I just found this site, and I love it! I also love this outfit. I’m kind of an hourglass/triangle, size 6 or so. I try not to show my thighs — anything above the knee seems unflattering. Do you think this out would work for me?
hi gigim! the style is right for an hourglass or triangle and the length is really nice — it’s above the knees but not super short – definitely over 40 appropriate. If you’re a small-busted hourglass, then I’d say this will be a knockout on you. let me know how it goes!
