With the last Monday of every month, you can count on a Fab 40s post, and this month’s theme we’re all donning some leather and lace! Lately, there are two colors I’ve been into–green and blush. In fact, this week I plan for all blushing posts (insert two blushing emojis with waving hands). Originally, IContinue reading The Fab 40s in Leather and Lace
You’re going to see a lot of sequins during this round of The Fab 40s. We are all wearing formal during the day. This is something I’m quite used to. Since I’m on a total sneaker/casual shoe kick, I try to figure out ways to dress up this look. In fact you can see meContinue reading The Fab 40s in Formal During the Day
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
What’s my too bold? Every individual has an interpretation of what’s too bold for themselves. Take lipstick…it’s an every day, routinely worn accessory for me. I pretty much feel a little naked if I’m not wearing any lipstick. For another though, a bright lip might be completely intimidating. This is the conversation that started betweenContinue reading What’s My Too Bold?
Culottes are now showing up everywhere. The best thing about these cropped trousers is their versatility. They are easy to dress up and down like this post demonstrates from last spring in a black pair.. Now there’s a new kid on the culotte block–it’s the denim culotte. Here I’ll point out how to dress themContinue reading Denim Culottes Dressed Up and Down
So….there was an article written recently that has ruffled many (stylish) women’s feathers–including mine. Over on Rant Chic a post was written about the 24 Things Women Should Stop Wearing After Age 30. Say what!?! For me, this is just asinine. I’ve never done well with people regulating what I can and cannot wear. IContinue reading 24 Things I Shouldn’t Have Worn–Ooops! Basically, #IwillwearwhatIlike
I love leopard! So I was very, very excited to hear that The Fab 40s theme for July was leopard. Mainly, I’ll be honest, I was happy for the chance to showcase my leopard lounger from our screened in porch out at our cabin on Spirit Lake. This old bamboo patio set came with theContinue reading The Fab 40s in Leopard
I finally realized it’d have to be a DIY Ostrich bag. If there’s one thing you might be realizing about me, it’s that I’m very persistent. And, if it has to do with getting a stylistic idea in my closet, I’m doubly persistent. This has been the case with Shana’s, of The Mom Edit, awesomeContinue reading DIY Ostrich Feather Bag
Lace was The Fab 40s theme for this month of June. We’ve covered the color of the year, the jumpsuit trend plus the gingham trend, and now lace. In this one I think we are definitely all very different. That’s what’s so fun about this collaboration with Sheela, Dixie, Dawn Lucy, and Jane. We allContinue reading The Fab 40s in Lace
Patterns and texture were abundant in each one of my work outfits this past week. Lucky for me it was a four day work week. It has been interesting too look back on the outfits though and see tons of patterns and texture: checks with ribbons, sparkles with snake, lace with plaid, and lace withContinue reading Style Story 12: Patterns and Texture All Week Long
This week was a four work outfit work week, and it went fairly well. This is a no brainer, but if I plan out the outfit the day before, I am usually so much better dressed! I didn’t get rid of any clothes this week too, but I know I need to replace a fewContinue reading Style Story: Work Outfits Monday Through Friday
