The Midlife Fashionista: beach style

Denim maxi

As you may know, I'm a huge J. Jill fan...they really did an amazing job with the line this season! This soft indigo maxi has become one of the most comfy and versatile pieces in my closet.

There are so many things you can do with this dress...dress it up with heels and a little bling, or dress it down with flat sandals as shown here.

A wrap or poncho in similar blue tones also looks fabulous with this dress and gives it a boho vibe. Similar wraps HERE HERE and HERE.

I like the side slit and the fact this dress has pockets (I like to stash candy!).

And here are the rest of the outfit details...

Simple dainty necklace HERE (under $20--only looks expensive!). Others I like HERE and HERE.

Stretch bracelets, nude clutch and gold sandals...similar HERE, HERE and HERE.

Thanks to J. Jill for collaborating on this blog!

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?

I needed a fun outfit to go along with a fun bag. Wearing a simple but bright tee shift dress (so comfy and versatile!).

Similar HERE and HERE...also love this lace version HERE.

I added a knit denim jacket. This is a much softer version of a traditional jean jacket. Similar HERE (only a few sizes left and just $35.40!)

Don't forget a hat to keep the sun off your face! This hat has a subtle metallic shine.

These gold and nude sandals keep things neutral with a bright outfit and are comfy for lots of walking.

Straw bag, don't worry! I'll never get rid of you!

Stripes and fringe for the 4th

4th of July outfit

So the 4th of July is just around the corner and you might be wondering what to wear. Although I'm not doing the "flag look" this year, I do have white, blue and stripes covered! This outfit is perfect if the weather is cool or for watching the fireworks at night.

I know, I know...there isn't any red here. But you could easily add a pop of red by adding a red necklace, shoes, or bag. Ideas HERE, HERE and HERE.

Wearing a Tommy Bahama stripe sleeveless top with DL white jeans and a fabulous fringe open cardigan by Central Park West -- all from Lyn Evans (they have a fabulous on-line store as well as a chain of gorgeous boutiques in MA and CT) . I like the versatility of this outfit. I can wear each piece a zillion different ways.

This Juju Bagz metallic travel tote has become a summer staple. I love the fact that it's lightweight, roomy and goes with everything!

Flat silver sandals complete the look. More options HERE and HERE. If you want a little heel, these sandals are also fabulous and a great deal!

Hope you're doing something fun to celebrate the 4th!
