Fab Collab Celebrates Christmas at 50 Plus

It’s that time again when the ladies from JTouchofStyle join me in a Fab Collab. We’re celebrating Christmas together this week by sharing holiday memories and clothing we wore for the occasion.

My story kickstarted the celebration. We continue the party today with a story from Jodie. Nancy and Charlotte will share their memories in the days to come.

As many of you know, each of us was born in a different decade: Charlotte is in her 70s, Nancy is in her 60s, Jodie is in her 50s, and I am in my 40s. As a result, our memories offer quite a range of fashion history! Our stories don’t end there, however. We also share our ideas for how we style Christmas outfits for today.

I hope you enjoy this little cyber celebration! Please be sure to share your own Christmas fashion memories—the good and the bad—in the comments below or on our Facebook pages. Pictures welcome! 🙂

Jodie’s Story about her Christmas Picture Memories

Ahhhh…the Christmas time when the “ugly Christmas sweaters” were actually thought of as cute! Yes, I lived in the decade when we wore these sweaters with pride and joy! The green one I am wearing here in this photo is actually a sweatshirt, but really, it’s no different. This was one of my favorites because I thought it was charming to be thought of as a “gift”.

And then my mom actually sewed on a sign in fabric for the back of the sweatshirt that said “Do not open until Christmas.” We thought we were so clever—-and of course, we were!

  1. Hi lovey!!
    Want to hear a funny story?
    So one of the bloggers that I link up with commented on my post and asked if the lady on my right is Maureen? My friend (Mo) used to be the principal when this blogger was a teacher at that school!! What an incredibly small world, eh?
