It was amazing to experience a winter wonderland this winter. Having lived overseas for almost half my life (wow! Putting it that way makes it seem like a loooooonng time!), I’ve missed the snowy winters I had growing up in Spokane, Washington. That’s why Christmas 2015 was so very special: the whole family got toContinue reading Fitting into a Winter Wonderland
I was so excited when Sheela called this month’s Fab 40s’ theme to be embroidery. I have tons of embroidered items–any time I travel I seem to pick up one more embroidered bag. But then, when it actually came for me to style an outfit, I realized that really all I have are just that–aContinue reading The Fab 40s in Embroidery
I will not lie to you: I’ve gained a little weight since I had my hip surgery this past fall. It’s not a big deal; I’ll get back to my old self in no time, but it does mean that there is a certain way I will be wearing my high waisted black skinny jeans!Continue reading High Waisted Black Skinny Jeans? Ya right!
During a recent trip home for the holidays to the Pacific Northwest, there was a frequent questions going on in my mind: Are my layers on?! When I’m layered in fleece lined leggings and turtlenecks, I will admit, finding some style is difficult among all layers on my body. However there are a couple ofContinue reading Layers On? Check!
This week on Wednesday, I told you style promise #4 was going to be a cinch for me. I always have fun getting dressed, and with this faux fur hat on, it’s fair to say I felt extra fabulous! If you see a little smirky smirk going on in these outfit photos, it’s real. AddingContinue reading Faux Fur Fun
For some reason, this is my favorite post from 2015. I just love these pants to no end, and I like how I styled them here with a simple white tee. Also of note: my hair. I can’t seem to get it to look like this again, but I’ll keep trying. There’s no better wayContinue reading My Style Promises for 2016
You know how we used to all look at the J.Crew catalogs, and think how are they mixing all those colors and prints together? Well, I used to think that anyway, but these days, it seems every outfit I put together is filled with this style called “pattern play.” I’m making some pretty great friendsContinue reading I Dare you to Wear More than Four Colors
This month The Fab 40s are wearing faux fur. It’s already a known fact that I have a serious thing for faux fur. When Jane from My Midlife Fashion called this month’s theme, I got pretty excited. I love wearing faux fur, and this material is seriously having a moment. Believe it or not, thisContinue reading The Fab 40s in Faux Fur
Here’s one last holiday lrd! I know I have way too many red dresses: there’s my boho version, my wrap dress, and my retro vintage. Now with this post, I’ve styled my cocktail version of the little red dress. Usually I spend my winter holidays vacationing in warmer climates. With a three week holiday thisContinue reading The Holiday LRD, Round 4
Oh! I do love the holiday lrd–as shown with this vintage one here, this boho one here, and this exact one also here! With Christmas just this week, I’ve got one more interpretation of the holiday lrd for Wednesday. The last time I styled this dress, I put a plaid shirt underneath so as toContinue reading The Holiday LRD, Round 3
Last Christmas when we spent our holiday in Bali, I found the perfect work party dress. It seems like the most unusual place to find such a sparkly item, but when I saw this shift, I fell in love at first sight–regardless of where it was found. Since I love dressing up, I had noContinue reading The Perfect Work Party Dress
It was just last week that I was showcasing a holiday LRD (little red dress). It turns out that I have another holiday LRD (and maybe even a couple more–we’ll see!). This little red dress now appears to be more of tunic since I might have (again!) hemmed it too short. Both the snowflake tunicContinue reading The Holiday LRD, Round 2
