The Fab 40s in Autumnal Hues

All good things must come to an end–at least that’s how the saying goes. I will not say that The Fab 40s is ending; it may pop up again. But, with members dropping, it’s a signal that a break from this blogging collaboration is needed. It’s been so fu though, and I have met some really neat ladies and feel they are my friends too. The blogging community must run on support of one another, and that is what I have always felt from my Fab 40s blogging buddies. This month you’ll find each of us in autumnal hues. I admit–my interpretation came out a little red, white, and blue, but I swear in the pic online, this long kimono looked like a burnt, rusty orange with dusky, pale blue! (Please go look, and tell me I’m wrong!) No worries for me though because I do love red, and lately any excuse to wear Hot Lave from Maybelline is a win in my book. It’s my new favorite red lipstick! If you read my post on Friday, you know I’ve had a rough go of it lately, so when I spotted this tee at my local H&M (yes, I can see H&M from my living room window, and yes, I find that crazy!), it simply spoke to me. Move forward. No looking back. Right?! Speaking of moving forward, I won’t be able to part with The Fab 40s so easily; I’ve already penciled in a tribute of sorts for the last Monday of September. (We always would post on the last Monday of each month.) It was a good run, and I’m not saying goodbye to the collaboration. You never know when it might spark up again….but until then, there so much love to everyone who contributed–both bloggers and readers–that I’d like to say thank you. Being in your 40s is FAB!!

Ok, one last look at some of The Fab 40s…

Mary from Curyly Byrdie Chirps

Mary and her dresses, they and her are just so pretty! I would love to sit on Mary’s bed and have her go through all the dresses in her closet. She has so many! And they are all so fabulous!! This one in a pretty teal blue is no exception. And Mary, you have a figure to die for! I’ll miss seeing your ultra feminine take at the end of each month Dear Mary.

Jennie from A Pocketful of Polka Dots

I dare say that this combo reminds me of another Fab 40s–we could always rely on Sam as our print mixer, but that role has now been taken over by Jennie–easily! Stripes along side this unique paisley block print. I love it! And the color combo is also so unique and definitely very autumnal. Jennie, it has been so fun to see your style evolve and change and remain classy and chic always. You are a true style chameleon. I’m going to miss collaborating with you Jennie because you always offer me such style inspiration. And Jennie, you are looking fit girl! Way to go!! So petite!!

Veronica from Cid Style File

Army green is always a perfect hue for autumn, and in mesh this top is right in line for the 2017 fall style report. I love embroidered jeans too, and Veronica’s pair is nice and subtle with just a touch on her left side. Plus Teva sandals–my go-to choice of shoe as well. Her’s match with everything too! I’m going to miss you Vero….I’m going to miss everyone. Therefore, let’s take our breaks and get back together real soon!

And me, Kremb de la Kremb

I’ve stopped counting how many times I’ve worn this waist bag aka fanny pack! Just get used to it. It’s all I wear, and it’s all I plan to wear in the foreseeable future–it’s just that good. Julie, have I thanked you yet?! Hahah. I think so. If you’re interested in having a luxe bag like this, head on over to Hustle & Hide Co, a local Spokane brand!

The other item on repeat–aside from my lovely waist belt–is this fabulous pair of Céline sunnies that Smart Buy Glasses sent me. They are so gorgeous and definitely the most luxurious pair of sunglasses I own. I’ve been wearing them with everything–as you may have noticed. Head to Smart Buy Glasses for great discounts on very luxurious, name brand sunnies!

Are you as sad as I am to see The Fab 40s end for a bit?
Don’t worry. I’ll pull my favorites from this series for the end of September. You can count on it for Monday, September 25. Until then, be FAB no matter what age you are!
