I’m pretty proud of my 90s era, and yes, it did include some grunge, but of course it did: I was attending university in Seattle, Washington at the U of W. While my sorority sisters were donning there pledged initials on their sweatshirts, I was sporting my black babydoll dress with white polka dots. No,Continue reading The Fab 40s are Grunge!
I knew what I was going to call for this month’s Fab 40s’ theme: preppy! It was during May when we were all dressed in boho style that the idea came to me. Jennie, who used to be our most preppy, and who has now become one of our most boho, asked me if itContinue reading The Fab 40s Attempt Preppy
Oh September! You are a blur for all of us Fab 40s. Vero chose such a great and very different theme for us this month: hats. The Fab 40s always post on the last Monday of the month, yet I was definitely caught by surprise with the somewhat early September date. I picked up thisContinue reading The Fab 40s in Hats
I have so much to cheer for! Really, I do!! Besides having pretty much the cutest bomber jacket ever, I have some things to bounce around the bleachers for acting like a cheerleader once again. For one, I’m walking, slowly but surely. I went back to work today–yes, it was only for two hours, butContinue reading The Fab 40s in a Bomber Jacket
Wearing all white on a boat out pulling the kids behind is an outfit I could be found in any day of the summer out at Spirit Lake. Here I’m out on the boat with the entire fam pulling them for a ski.

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
Jennie from A Pocket Full of Polka Dots called boho for this month’s Fab 40s’ theme. Of course I was super excited to hear this theme because let’s face it: I’m definitely a bit bohemian in my style. I am a sucker for anything with a cultural aesthetic especially when it comes to colorful tassels,Continue reading The Fab 40s in Boho
The moment Diane from Fashion on the 4th Floor declared this month’s styling theme every one of The Fab 40s got a little nervous–including me. Pleats, that’s what we were to style. The moment I saw pleats I thought to myself: Oh! Pleats look awful on me–they just enhance my ponchy ponch. I instantly startedContinue reading The Fab 40s in Pleats
The Fab 40s in floral this month make quite a pretty picture, But oh, the style story behind this look! Where to start?

Wow! The Fab 40s have now completed a year of posts–this is twelfth collaboration. In March of 2015 we started with six of us styling up the Pantone color of that year: Marsala.

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
