The Midlife Fashionista: Chicos

Fash-inn at The Pickering House

#sponsored

If you love old inns but want a luxury experience with modern conveniences, then you MUST check out The Pickering House Inn located in scenic Wolfboro, NH (just a few hour drive from Boston!).

From the moment I arrived, I felt welcome.

Michael (Concierge), made sure our bags were taken care of and that we had everything we needed for our stay

We got the royal treatment!

Find my travel outfit here: high-rise jeans, denim jacket, sneakers, similar hat, and travel bag / matching luggage tag.

After check-in and a great chat, it's time to explore the inn!

The Pickering House opened just 9 months' ago after a 2 year extensive renovation. Owners Patty and Peter Cook poured their heart and soul into this project and it shows. Every inch of the inn is meticulously decorated with attention to detail.

There are multiple rooms to relax, read a book, play a board game, or take a NAP!

Patty is an extremely talented architect and interior designer.
She did all of the design and decor.

Scrabble anyone?

There are 10 rooms at The Pickering House Inn and each floor has it's own drink station complete with coffee, tea, and lemon water. They also serve yummy cookies in the afternoon.

This adorable Lacoste terry zip up hoodie (size small) and Who What Wear bag were from Shop to Give, where your purchases support Uncommon Threads and our mission to empower women. Slides from Secret Celebrity Shoes--super comfy! This amazing shoe company also supports Uncommon Threads!

Each beautifully decorate room comes with complimentary bottled water, a candy treat (we got caramels!). remote blinds, heated bathroom floor, plush robes, and the most comfy bed ever!

After a cup of tea and a quick nap, we're off to take some fashion photos.

I'm going to show you two fabulous maxi dresses that are perfect for travel since they don't wrinkle, are light as a feather and can take you from day to night.

Shop this dress here.

Cheers!

You can find this purple print maxi here.

The inn offers cooking demonstrations in the gorgeous kitchen.

There is also a magnificent barn, perfect for weddings or events.

Breakfast was INCREDIBLE. This egg roulade was the best I've ever had and the chef was nice enough to give me the recipe! YUM!

I was sad to leave this beautiful inn, but I know I'll be back!

Chico's and The Fierce 50

Chico's event

Kudos to Chico's for recognizing us "50 plus women" and for including The Fierce 50 bloggers group in their Best Friends and Fashion event last week.

The Fierce 50 (a group of AMAZING over 50 bloggers) joined forces with Chico's to celebrate style, friends and the power of being "older, wiser and beautiful". We're not getting older, we're getting better (except in my case for a broken wrist and a back injury--just slight set-backs!).

I have to be honest with you. I have never been a big Chico's shopper--until now that is! I'm a size 2 and the clothes never seemed to fit me right. However, Chico's now offers smaller sizes (00 even 000) that work perfectly! I chose to wear this olive green faux suede jacket, flowy long tank (wardrobe staple!) and black leggings (incredibly comfy). I had been in this outfit since 7 a.m.--these photos were taken 12 hours later and look, no wrinkles!

I also love how modern the line has become. It really cuts across all ages! My 30 year-old daughter loves the clothes,

and even my photographer, who is not quite 20, saw some dresses that she was crazy over. Go Chico's!

I scoured the racks for some of my favorite pieces...here they are.

This neutral linen vest is such a timeless yet modern piece that can be worn with jeans, a dress, skirt or trousers. The color goes with everything too!

And how fabulous is this giraffe shirt paired with these pants? And those crazy cool jeans!!!! I feel an 80's vibe here!

Everything denim is in this spring and I'm a huge fan!

Who doesn't need a little more love in their life? Now this is a message worth wearing!

I am head over heels for this embroidered bomber jacket.

I must have it.

It's all about the sleeves this season and this stunning hot pink ruffle-sleeve top is on my wish list!

Chico's always has the most amazing selection of unique statement accessories.

Not only does Chico's have the best staff (manager Nancy center), but their clients are equally as nice!

Chatting it up with the fabulous Susan--she called us "Susan squared". Love this beautiful woman's positive energy and warmth.

My new friend Cathy came to shop. She just started volunteering at Uncommon Threads and we are SO lucky to have her!

Meet store manager Nancy Cyr-Ford (center) and district manager Leyna Lyons-Grogan.

Put me in a room with fabulous women and amazing clothes and I'm on cloud 9.

Huge thank you to Chico's for including me in their style event!
