Classic Lifestyle Model

Sponsored by Draper’s and Damon’s

Draper’s and Damon’s are known for offering classic styles for ladies over 50, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find trendsetting styles, too!  I had so much fun creating two new looks from The Fall New Arrivals and I’m thrilled to share them with you. What’s more, all of the versatile separates I’m sharing can be mixed and matched to create additional looks!

I have a soft spot for leather and denim, and this outfit from Draper’s has everything my heart desires! I love the rich, glossy finish of this sleek “Vegan Leather Jacket” and how it flatters my body type.

The luxurious fabric flows effortlessly for a comfortable, functional fit, and moves and bends without restrictions. My daughter has her eyes on this jacket and has already asked to borrow it!

Perfect for layering, it’s paired with the long sleeve “Silky Knit Top.” This ultra-soft top in shade “ultramarine” is ultra-versatile and is a dream for layering. I know I’ll get plenty of wear out of this beauty!

Denim is my old friend, and it’s showing up in the form of some figure-hugging, super comfy, “Flex Fit” Denim Jeans in shade “dark indigo.” What’s so special about these Slimtacular® Flex Fit Denim Straight Leg Jeans? “The best thigh-shaping, waist-whittling, tummy-flattening, bottom-lifting straight-leg jeans you’ll ever wear!!”

The “Mixed Metal” necklace with silver and gold links accented with hammered touches adds a little extra magic!


Neutral fall tones are finishing strong in the Draper’s and Damon’s fall collection!
This snazzy Python Moto Jacket, designed in an ultra-soft microsuede fabric, jazzes up any look. This fabric may be super soft, but it holds its shape.

I love the subtle threading of metallic shimmer on this show-stopping jacket. It easily layers with Draper’s long sleeve “Silky Knit Top” in classic red for a pop of color! The rich red top will be a favorite during the holidays.

This fabulous statement jacket will partner well with various casual or dressy bottoms. Still, keeping with the neutral palette, I’ve paired it with Draper’s signature Slimtacular® Flex Fit Pants in shade “driftwood.”

What I love about these flattering, comfortable bottoms is the sleek waist-to-ankle look.  No baggy knees,  a wide waistband for extra tummy control, and front and back pockets!

The Golden Touch Necklace elevates the outfit with patterned gold rings that cleverly capture light with an eye-catching glimmer.

These separates work beautifully together and are a stylish and versatile addition to any wardrobe. Shop my outfits here and be sure to visit all the new fall arrivals at Draper’s and Damon’s!
