What to wear for a romantic holiday evening

What do you wear for a romantic evening on a cruise ship.

In the first image I have selected a casual maxi dress that can just as easily be worn round the pool in the day. I have kept the pallet clean and cool. Ocean blue and cream with silver accessories.

If you don’t have a cruise planned for this summer all these outfits would work just as well for summer parties or for any romantic star studded night “a deux”

You may well have more formal nights in your calendar so I have selected a full on evening dress with glitter and gleam. This dress would work well for a formal wedding or summer ball.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

This is really helpful. I live in Malta and we have few places to shop for nice clothes. Your suggestions we can buy online with confidence. Thanks. I like your choices.

Beautiful colour combinations...ocean blue and cream absolutely stunning. I would certainly wear a maxi dress although my go to favourites are my wide pants and silk camisoles and maybe a little cashmere for the cooler evenings :)
Have a wonderful weekend, Josephine and thank you for popping by this week always lovely to hear from you.

Color combo is gorgeous, white hair looks sensational, especially with red lipstick. Thanks for sharing, enjoyed the post.
