I've been dying to wear this Ann Taylor Loft maxi that I bought a few years ago on sale, but it's progressively getting too clingy around the middle. I pulled it out today and paired it with a denim vest--(this season's purchase), which gives me the coverage I want but is light enough so I won't overheat (happens easily these days!).
This week's photos are selfies...I miss my photographer Cathy!
I added a very casual Lucky Brand beaded necklace (on sale for $22!) that gives the outfit a little "boho" vibe. The camel tote is very very old, and you'll laugh when I tell you where I got it...it was one of those free give-aways from Lancome! Similar here
Many of my clients are unsure of how to wear distressed jeans--they're afraid of looking too young or like they're trying too hard. The trick for wearing the trend in an age appropriate way is to make the rest of your outfit more classic and toned down.
Choose a pair that has a moderate amount of detail...just a bit of the "ripped" look is all you need.
I love these very comfy cropped distressed jeans from J. Crew that have a relaxed fit--similar here. There is just right amount of ripping for me. I paired them with a striped knit tee from Ann Taylor Loft, which hits at the hip and has the perfect amount of looseness (without looking baggy).
I topped things off with a casual black jacket from New York and Co. I've had this inexpensive jacket for years and wear it constantly. Similar here.
An ankle strap flat sandal from Seychelles makes running around town easy on the feet.
Last summer I bought a few pairs from this line because of the comfort factor. Similar here and here
This Dolce Vita bucket bag has become my "go to'' casual bag. The bucket bag is in this season and works so well with weekend outfits.
Simple casual jewelry completes the look. Found this Lucky Brand ring at Lord and Taylor
What does midlife look like? Whatever you want it to! Welcome to my blog, where I share about style, beauty, and lifestyle for those who agree that age has no limits. While health and wellness play an essential role, I believe looking your best helps you feel your best, regardless of where you are on your journey. I also believe when women support and encourage one another, we all benefit, which is why I founded Uncommon Threads, a nonprofit, and co-founded Kicking Cancer in Heels, a community aimed at empowering women impacted by cancer. I hope you’ll follow my experiences on social media.
