Dressing Nifty After Fifty is the quintessential guide for any woman over the age of 50 who wants to create a simple, stylish wardrobe. While the challenge for women over 50 and the upcoming baby boomers is to figure out the how, when, where and why of the rest of their lives, no matter what - the one problem that continues throughout their lives is what to wear. Dressing Nifty After Fifty provides the answer. Just as one size does not fit all, one wardrobe does not fit all. The process outlined is highly individualized, asking the reader to list of her activities during a typical 14-day period, learn about the clothes that flatter her body type and make her appear thinner and taller, and complete the easy steps to a personalized wardrobe plan. Tips are included for clothing maintenance, shopping, grooming, travel, and ways to stay gorgeous as time goes by.

Inspired by Frances Schultz’s popular House Beautiful magazine series on the makeover of her East Hampton house, Bee Cottage, what began as a decorating book evolved into a memoir combining the best elements of both: beautiful photos and a compelling personal story. Schultz taps into what she learned during her renovations of Bee Cottage—determining how each area in the house and garden would be used and furnished—to unravel the question of how a mature, intelligent, successful woman could have made such a mess of her personal life. As she figures out each room over a period of years, Frances finds a new path in life, also a continual process. She comes to learn that, like decorating a home, our lives must adapt to who we are and what we need at different points along the way. The Bee Cottage Story is part memoir, part home decorating guide. Frances discusses the kinds of useful, commonsense design issues that professionals take for granted and the rest of us just may not think of, prompting the reader to examine and discover her own “truth” in decorating—and in her life.
