This spring, the fashion world is once again in love with 1950s fashion. In the stores and online, I’m seeing 50s-style floral prints dresses, full skirts, gingham shirts, and more. It’s pre-Beatlemania styling! Personally, I’m getting a huge kick out of the return of the 1950s shirtwaist dress. The dresses have the classic styling—the collar, the button front, the belt or tie—you’d expect, but they've been updated with this season's favorite prints and colors. Take, for instance, the Jones New York Cotton Shirt Dress
Here's another shirt dress with a rocking print...

Accessories--a pretty necklace or scarf...or an animal print belt...or even leggings--will make your shirt dress pop. I know lots of over 50 women are trying to limit the amount of black they wear. But I love the way this Anne Klein Stretch Micro Weave Shirt Dress
