Southern Style In Asia – Holiday Magazine My Way Challenge

Fry Bread And Family – Wonderful Wednesday
December 16, 2015
Today I’ve got some fun stuff to cover on my Monday fashion post. I’m wearing a colorful sheath dress over pants and I’m sharing my featured looks from the MRS Linkup (My Refined Style) #3.
I am writing this post on a Saturday afternoon as my son jets his way to us from the other side of the world. To say I am excited would be a major understatement! He is thrilled to get away from the “cold” Alabama weather and get back to the tropical weather he is accustomed to. I’m sure some of you are already shuffling through snow by now, so I thought you would get a kick out of that.
Colorful Sheath Dress Over Pants
A sheath dress over pants is a flattering choice for fashion over 40. The sheath dress skims over the body, while the slim pants promote a strong vertical line. Pants also work well if a dress is too short to be worn by itself.
If you’ve read my blog for any length of time, then you know how much I love to wear black. Not only am I fond of the all-black look, but I find that black provides the perfect contrast for any color.
This sheath dress is my final look from KASH, a home-grown Filipino company that designs feminine and affordable dresses. You can see some other fabulous Kash looks I’ve worn in previous posts: mod style and jewel-toned.
I have mentioned it before, but I will say it again. You will never go wrong with a quality pair of slim black pants. These Sloan pants from Banana Republic are easily in the top three pieces of my entire wardrobe. Select colors of these pants are currently 50% off.
Featured Looks From The MRS Linkup
The third My Refined Style Linkup was another fabulous success. Last week, 113 links were added from an awesome array of fashionistas over 40. I am excited to share some of my favorites with you today.
Each of these ladies oozed style and fun in their fashion over 40 choices!

I really like this look! It looks great & it’s comfortable (and as Patti mentioned easy to get around in…). The turquoise is great with black & looks wonderful on you!
It is really comfortable, which is always a plus!

Thanks…color always adds an extra bit of “happy” to an outfit!
I love this dress – the style, the patterns and colours. I like how you’ve worn it over the top of trousers. You look great
Thanks Lorna!
Thanks for today’s feature Shellie, it’s very generous of you to give me a shout out. I love the sheath dress in these gorgeous colours and I can see why you say the trousers are a must-have item. I clearly need to be getting something like this too, as it’s an item I’m lacking. And I just have to add that your smile is infectious – I have to grin right back when I look at your photos!

This outfit is beautiful! I am so loving that sheath dress! Those shoes are looking really cute too…are they a wedge? You nailed another look, Shellie!
Thanks Regina, they are platform heels with a vintage vibe.
This is an awesome look. I think I own about four pair of those banana republic pants love the fit and the quality.
Wow Lucy, aren’t they great pants?!
Love, love this look. And it makes getting into and out of the car so much easier! Thanks for linking, xox
