The Midlife Fashionista: July 2016

Boston adventure

If you're familiar with Boston, you may recognize these surroundings. This blog was shot in the beautiful Seaport District on a very windy day!

A city adventure calls for comfortable clothes. I'm wearing AG cropped jeans (so stretchy!), a fun print top (old, but love these too HERE and HERE), and my "go-to" jean jacket by Fabrizio Gianni.

Stopping at The Barking Crab for a "lobsta"roll.

Boston is such a gorgeous city even on a windy day.

White leather sneakers make great walking shoes and look less "clunky" than gym sneaks.

A neutral tote stashes all my gear. I'm one of those women who carries the kitchen sink with her. There's a reason why I have neck and shoulder issues! More totes HERE and HERE

Nordstrom sale finds under $25.00!

accessories

There is a misconception that Nordstrom only sells expensive things. Yes, the store has lots of pricey designer pieces, but there are also amazing deals to be had--sometimes better than the discount stores! Just to prove my point, I've put together some fabulous finds, all under $25.00.

This fun watch is just $15.90 --such a deal, sigh!

Kate Spade for under $25.00? Yep.

Buy them now to stash away for Christmas gifts!

Zella makes super comfy workout-wear. These leggings are a great deal at just $24.90.

Throw on this loose style tee with skinny or slim jeans--it's only $19.20 (available in blue too!).

These gorgeous statement earrings will look fabulous with just about everything (how about with the tee above?) --and just $17.49 woohoo!

This hammered chevron charm necklace is just $6.98...yes you got that right!

This lightweight scarf by Sole Society is perfect for the warmer months and the neutral colors will go with just about everything. Just $16.17!

You can't have enough clutches, and at $13.98 this one is a no-brainer.

I don't spend a lot of money on trendy pieces, but this fringe bag is such a deal at $18.98!

And last but not least, this set of 3 hammered gold rings is JUST $5.98!

Happy bargain shopping!

Tribal print silk wrap

ageless style

There's something so elegant about wearing a wrap, especially when it's silk.

Silk just feels SO good on. It's lightweight, airy and soft against the skin.

This tribal print silk wrap is from Worth NY. Worth has gorgeous clothes and accessories in luxury fabrics and designs.

Here are some other silk wraps in unusual prints that I love too. HERE and HERE.

I'm wearing a simple lightweight maxi dress in solid black (so the print pops). Similar dresses HERE and HERE (LOVE the back of this one!).

A black envelope clutch goes with everything. Similar HERE and HERE (love the tassel!).

A turquoise ring matches the blue/green color in the wrap. This ring is by Alexis Bittar. Similar styles HERE and HERE.

These days I'm wearing more flat shoes than heels. I bought these J. Crew suede sandals last year and adore them...they're SO comfy! Here are other styles that I really like HERE and HERE.

Thanks for stopping by!

Striped midi tank dress

Andover

I'm a big fan of stripes, especially in the summer.

I bought this dress a while back, but I found almost the exact same style for you HERE on sale for just $33.75!

I paired the dress with a white denim jacket, a summer "must-have". I like the collar up for added style. This fabulous tassel necklace is from Love and Pieces.

I bought this white clutch and love it so much that I also bought it in black too! Aviator sunnies (similar HERE) and comfy black suede wedges (similar HERE and HERE) complete the outfit.

Hope you're having an amazing summer!

This blog was shot in the beautiful town of Andover, MA (where I grew up) by the uber talented Nitin, Photos by Nitin. I'm so lucky to be working with him!

Straw bag

Beach

Sometimes I forget about the treasures stashed in the back of my closet.

I recently pulled out this adorable straw bag....and to think I almost threw it out a few years ago!

This bag has such a "beachy" feel to it...it screams "summer is here!" Here are some other fun straw bags I love (and they're all on sale for under $75!) HERE HERE and HERE. OK I lied, one more HERE. Can you tell I'm having fun with this?
