Garcelle Beauvais’ Blue Sequin Confessional Dress

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 11 Fashion

New confessional, who dis?! Garcelle Beauvais’ blue sequin dress that she wore for the first time in her confessionals on last night’s episode of RHOBH definitely made for a lewk (especially with the matching hair). And if you look closely at the details, you’ll notice that you’ve definitely seen it in another colourway before and that this is not just a case of déjà vu blue.

There’s no shortage of discounts this time of year but there’s about Nordstrom sales that just hit differently. Maybe it’s the prices up to 50 percent off or the unique mix of luxe and more affordable offerings. Basically what we’re saying it, Nordstrom’s 2021 beauty sale doesn’t dissapoint. It’s part of the big Half-Yearly Sale when products fly off the virtual shelf faster than you can say add to cart.

These aren’t random, leftover items, either. These deals are from best-selling brands and ones you probably use every day. We’re talking Nars, M.A.C., Bobbi Brown, Anastasia Beverly Hills and so many more. There’s also a great mix of essentials including foundation and shampoo, as well as hairdryers and tools. But there are also giftable sets (hello, Father’s Day is around the corner!) and fun items you might never have tried before.

There are tons of deals to shop but if you’re not sure where to start, shop some favorites, below. Warning: they go fast.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.

The capri pants have garnered a lot of controversy in the last couple of years! Many articles will tell you not to wear them and that they make you appear frumpy.

Yet I’m sure many of you reading this have a pair or two in your closet because at this time of our life most of us aren’t wearing shorts anymore!

However, when the temperature is hot outside, how else do we stay cool in our clothing? One style option that I’ve touched upon in the past was the maxi dress or skirt to keep your legs covered yet still cool. Today we’ll focus on shorter pants!

The meaning of the term capri pants could vary from person to person. If you’ve been shopping lately, then many of you will have seen the cropped flares and culottes that are showing up in the stores. And then there are the ankle pants that were the subject of an earlier post on Sixty and Me. Most of us think of them as a pair of trousers that end somewhere under the knee and above the ankle.

This variation on trousers is perfect for those of us who are still comfortable showing part of our legs during the summer yet consider shorts too short!

What Variations and Styles Are Available?

I know that much of the controversy about capris stems from the fact that they interrupt the length of your legs and therefore make you appear shorter. But I’d like to compare this same feature with skirts. Most skirts, except maxi skirts, end somewhere in the middle of our legs and yet we don’t think they shorten our appearance.

Two of the features to consider when you are looking for capris are the width and length of the pant leg. So, let’s examine how we can find some capri pants that we will like and wear!

What Length Is Best for You?

This question of length is going to be quite different for every woman reading this article. And it’s not to say that there can’t be a couple of different lengths that work for you.

First, if you do love and wear skirts, take a gander at the length of those skirts that look great on you! That will be a great place to start with your capris also! And always remember that it can be worthwhile to have some of your capris altered to make them the correct length for your body.

Second, put on the capris and then take some photos of yourself. I know this suggestion will seem strange, but there is truly a difference in how you appear from looking in the mirror as opposed to how you look in a photo.

Most rules will indicate to get the most flattering look not to let your capris end in the middle part of your leg. And I understand this concept. However, I will give you some cheaters to this rule!

If your capri pants are a color close to your complexion, then this rule can be ignored. The other factor that will help if you like your capris this length, is to wear shoes that match your skin tone. Like these Amanda Capris from Gloria Vanderbilt.

The Width of Your Capris

The width of the legs of your capri pants can be as different as the leg widths in all the pairs of your jeans. Especially now that this capri trend has continued over the last several years, and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere, there are many different varieties.

The tapered leg is probably the best selection for a universally flattering look since it follows the outline of your natural leg as you can see in this Plus Size Tummy-Control Capri.

But I would also suggest trying on some of the newer silhouettes out there. Like the cropped flare jeans that I have seen. Your initial reaction may be that they would look awful on you. But remember, you never know until you try them on. I know many of my readers have commented that this style balances out their hips and hides any thicker calves!

Personally, I know my culottes – which I could consider capris in one sense – have been one of my favorite pants to wear when getting dressed up.

Proportion and Fit

The hardest part when wearing shorter pants like capris can be to get the proportions correct. And what looks good on your best friend may not look the same on you. Because not only does the length and width of your pants make a difference, it’s also how the entire outfit looks in total. The proportion of your pants in contrast to the length and fit of your top is paramount!

So, keep in mind the hemline of your shirt when you are trying on your capri pants. Rarely is it the best look where your pants and top are splitting your body into halves. It’s usually better to have one portion be longer than the other.

Therefore, since capris are shorter to start with, then there are many times that it can look better to tuck in your shirts! And for all those women who don’t tuck in their shirts anymore, then maybe try it with a longer shirt like a tunic?

Or you could attempt the half-tuck where the shirt is only tucked in the front of your pants! These suggestions can give you the 1/3 to 2/3 ratio – or 2/3 to 1/3 ratio – that is a great guideline for a pleasing look!

And never forget that the correct fit is important no matter what piece of clothing you’re wearing! I talked in detail about shopping for jeans lately, and this is no different for capris.

Fashion for Older Women Is About Looking Good and Feeling Great

I feel that we all still want to look our best, no matter our age. But that doesn’t mean you can’t break a couple of fashion rules that you grew up believing! Even if you want to wear capris, but think the bottom portion of your legs is too fat, too white, or too riddled with veins, I would like to appeal to you to think differently.

First, I beg each and every one of you to love your body no matter what its shape, color, or scarring. We are blessed to have made it to the age that we are now. And our bodies are to thank for that! Any negativity that we put onto our bodies is unfortunately passed onto the next generations. And I would like to think that we need to build up our confidence, not tear it down!

So, as hard as it is, start telling yourself that you love your body! Warts and all! By practicing this mantra, we can start to change the perception that getting older is a bad thing, since we all know by now that perfection is unobtainable.

Let me be honest in saying that for these photos that I am showing in this article, not all of them are the perfect proportion or length if you go by the “rules.” But I would hope that you would consider that the three of us still look nice! And to me, that should be the predominant consideration when getting dressed every day!

Tricks and Tips

The last element that can make the capri pants easier to wear would be to change the focal point. If you are not sure you love your legs, or the way your outfit came together, think about a statement necklace or earrings. Having a big and bold statement element near your face will have most people concentrate on that part of your body, instead of your legs!
