Welcome to another Dressed for My Day 2022 Christmas Gift Guide. Because our focus here is fashion and beauty for women over 50, more than one of my gifts guides will be geared to women. Yes, I still have gift guides for men and young women and couples coming. But today let’s focus on gifts for the discerning woman. These are some of my absolute favorite things. Some are investments, so you might want to gift them to yourself or let a loved one know about your selections. Others are smaller, but meaningful gifts, so they’re perfectly suited for the most special women in your life.
This post contains affiliate links. When you shop through my links I potentially earn a commission on your purchases, but at no additional cost to you. Thank you so much for supporting my work here by shopping my links.
Remember, all of my Christmas Gift Guides can be found through the link in the top menu. Or you can click through HERE. In fact, I’ve already present one gift guide for women full of great gifts from Amazon.
The gifts I’ve selected below are comprised of items I use or wear or enjoy regularly. Most of these are items I’ve collected over time and treasured. Some are quite pricey, while others are very inexpensive. You’ll probably recognize many of them if you’ve been a reader here at Dressed for My Day long because these are things I share here frequently. But I’ve gathered them here to give them the gold stamp of my highest recommendation and so that you’ll be able to shop them…if you like…from one location.

These are the bags I travel with and the clothes I wear when I’m on the go. The Talbots travel pants are definitely favorites. They’re great for plane trips and car trips.

Kay’s Favorite Jackets and Wrap
I’ve had my Levi’s Original Trucker denim jacket for about 30 years, and I wear it year round. The other jackets among my favorites are all Veronica Beard blazers. These are investment pieces, but I doubt they’ll ever leave my wardrobe. They’re beautifully made, fit like a glove and have dickey capabilities (sold separately). And I’ve also included my cashmere wrap in this category. I have half a dozen of these in different colors.

Kay’s Favorite Fashions, Undergarments & Accessories
Finally, I gathered a few of my favorite clothing items and accessories. Of course fashions come and go, but these tend to stay around because they are popular with many. I wear a lot of cashmere, but the Talbots Audrey cashmere sweaters are definitely my favorites. And I love Talbots’ Chelsea boots, too. Speaking of shoes, I’ve included my favorite Ally pumps (use code KAYHEELS for $40 off) and my favorite Sarah Flint pumps (use code SARAHFLINT-BAKAYH for $50 off).
