Fashion Over Forty: Velvet Jeans for a Dressier Look

If you've been following along my "Fashion over Forty" posts then you might have already guessed that I practically live in blue jeans. But there are occasions when I need/want something other than blue jeans and when I saw these black velvet pants at Loft last year I decided to order them. And guess what, they brought them back again this year! In case you are interested in these, I think they run true to size and if in between sizes, then size down.

I like that they still have the jeans look to them but a little bit dressier since they are made of velvet and they are so soft and comfortable. Available in regular, petite, tall, curvy and modern sizes. 

I paired the velvet jeans with a silver gray tunic sweater (this is another hand-me-down from my sister) and a pale pink scarf I've had in my closet for a few years. 

No direct link to the sweater, but I really LOVE this diamond texture sweater from Loft as an alternative and I think it looks very similar to mine. Loft  has such a great selection of sweaters!

I wore my comfortable booties by Clarks. These are old but I do love this pair as an alternative to my boots. Otherwise I think these jeweled flats from Loft would look beautiful as well and make the outfit a little bit dressier. I also like these pointy toe heeled pumps and these block heel pumps look like a great option as well. 

I think any color scarf would have been great with this outfit, but I picked a pink scarf because I love  to pair pink and gray! This beautiful vintage blush blanket scarf would be a great option especially for colder weather. And this pink scarf would be a thinner alternative if you don't like a blanket scarf.

My bag was purchased from Walmart a couple of years ago. I thought the pinks were a perfect match even though purchased at different places. No direct to link to my bag, but I did find this beautiful blush bag for under $20 and it has great reviews! For a higher priced real leather version I love this crossbody bag from TJ Maxx.  

I did wear a layered necklace under the scarf. Just something I picked up at a shop in Germany when we visited last year. It was inexpensive but I love the simple look! This layered necklace would be something comparable.  It come with 3 layers that can be worn together or separate. 

Below I've untucked the sweater. I'm not sure which way I like it better...
