Hannah Ann Sluss’ Embellished Fringe Dress at the Rose Ceremony

The Bachelor Season 24 Episode 10 Fashion

Hannah Ann Sluss’ embellished fringe dress at the rose ceremony on last night’s episode of The Bachelor was legit impossible for us to find, which is why we’re super grateful to her for posting the deets on her Instastories today. Annnnnd letting us in on the fact that she scored it from eBay for only $85(!), just going to show that she’s definitely a girl after Peter’s our own heart. 

Fashionably,

Victoria Fuller’s White Gown at the Rose Ceremony

The Bachelor Season 24 Episode 10 Fashion

Although it may have been far from her big day, Victoria Fuller still decided to low-key wear a wedding dress to the rose ceremony on last night’s episode of The Bachelor with this chic white gown. And we honestly can’t say we blame her, because this beautiful silk number (which she apparently has been holding onto for at least 3 years considering that’s the last time Revolve had in stock) totally captivated us during it’s walk down the aisle to the car.

Fashionably,

Alayah Benavidez’s Suit on the Women Tell All

The Bachelor Season 24 Episode 10 Fashion

When I first went on a quest to find Alayah Benavidez’s amazing black sequin outfit from the Women Tell All I had a difficult time considering I totally thought it was a jumpsuit when it’s actually a two piece pantsuit. Which makes sense, considering this pageant queen was definitely there to conduct some serious business in bringing us world peace Bachelor world drama.

Fashionably,

Amazon is a little like Target in the way that both retailers sell basically everything and it’s hard to tell what you actually need. It’s why it’s a little to easy to press “add to cart.” Amazon’s beauty deals for March 2020 are going to make it even harder not to shop. But at least in the cases of these newbies, the prices won’t drain your wallet. You can feel good about grabbing a face mask, natural deodorant or sunscreen knowing you’re not overpaying—and you’re getting something great for your dollar.

Though, of course not all products on Amazon on stellar ones. You have to be on the lookout for fakes by making sure the item is coming straight from the brand, which generally means it’s an authorized seller. Don’t worry—we can help. We’re pretty much obsessed with finding the best waterproof mascara, the top setting powders and body scrubs on Amazon. With these goodies plus the boring adult things like toilet paper and shower cleaner, that Prime 2-day shipping sure gets a lot of use.

March’s new Amazon products are all over the map in the best way possible. These finds will get your hair in check, your pimples under control and protect you from the sun. Some are updates of old staples, like a new deodorant, and others totally innovative products, like a mask that opens from a tablet. They come from both independent brands and huge companies but they have one thing in common: they all cost less than $25. Shop our favorites, below.

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 and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Female baby boomers are the first generation to retire who are well-educated, healthy, energetic, and with well-paid careers. Consequently, many agree that the boomers’ retirement will be different from the retirement of previous generations.

Changes Brewing for Baby Boomers

The current stereotype of grandma baking cookies for lots of grandchildren is becoming less realistic. The traditional mindset about the needs and activities of mature adult females may no longer be valid.

As Lim S.G. notes in “Rethinking ambition: Women on the edge of retiring,” an essay in Women Confronting Retirement: A Nontraditional Guide, compiled and edited by N. Bauer-Maglin A. Radosh, for professional women especially:

“…moving from regulated work to free work, ambition need not take a back seat but instead finally moves into the forefront, where it will prompt us to ask not what the institution wants but what we want out of our lives and the work we can and wish to do” (p. 124).

Retirement is the time for both sexes to find fulfilling activities. But barriers and stereotypes remain for older women. They have been carers of the family. Society and culture expects them to continue or expand that role in retirement.

The Designated Caregiver

Retired women are often the designated caregiver for two sets of individuals: grandchildren and parents/children/spouse with health or aging issues. Caring has been an integral part of the female life span.

While men’s life span often follows this path: born, learn, earn, retire, and die, women’s life span is more likely to be: born, learn, earn some, care, earn some more and care, retire and care, die.

It’s not surprising, therefore, that women may feel they have little choice and may become trapped in that caring role. Caring may take over their retirement and stop them from finding fulfilling activities.

Although it is difficult to say no to a request to care for someone who needs it, it is a viable answer. I babysat my school age grandchildren for a few years once a week after school. They have grown beyond that and I do miss seeing them weekly.

I was a small part of their life and knew what was happening, but it was not an overwhelming responsibility. If I was travelling, I would give plenty of notice and their parents would make other arrangements.

On Your Own Terms

It is important to recognise that caring can be a positive benefit to the carer, but it must be on one’s own terms.

I know someone whose child asked her to care for her grandchildren for 2 weeks. She thought about it and said no, she wasn’t interested in caring for toddlers for that length of time. She did not feel comfortable caring for children that young given their needs.

Women, whether married or single, should plan for their own retirement needs, besides planning for finance and health care needs. Women should explore how to achieve emotional/social wellbeing in retirement. Some elements could be:

• researching to find their unique passion and purpose,
• considering what legacy they want to leave behind,
• what communities they would like to serve,
• and what are their boundaries about caring.

Baby boomers have different expectations for retirement. They will challenge the expectations of retirement as they have other phases of their lives. Female baby boomers are equal to this challenge, but also need to decide if, how, and when they are available for caring for others.
