About the Writers
Heidi G and Bruce G
We started Fashions over 50 because once my future wife and I met on a senior dating site, started dating, and then married, she later told me with a laugh that we almost didn’t have a second date because of the way I dressed. Now that we have been married for some years, her great fashion style has somewhat rub off on me. So we thought it would be fun to spread the word that fashion is not dead at 50, 60, or even 90, for that matter.
Now that I have somewhat caught up to my wife’s great appreciation for fashion and style, we decided to create a platform dedicated to content about fun, informative, creative, and suitable fashion. We wanted to provide an accurate and balanced perspective of fashion for seniors, hoping that it may spark something in others.
With so much of the material today being negative, contemptuous, and even fictitious, I felt sharing stories of creativity, resilience, hope, and progress would be an inspiration to all. By emphasizing positive and impactful stories, we aim to inspire and empower our readers, offering a refreshing alternative to the often sensationalized portrayals of today. We believe that by shining a light on the fashion of others, we can foster others to strive for the style they may want.
