The Midlife Fashionista: joes jeans

Green velvet jacket

These days there aren't many jackets that will fit over my cast.

So when Shein sent me this fabulous green velvet bomber, I was thrilled that I could wear it--cast and all!

Being new to this line, I didn't quite know what to expect, but I was thrilled at both the price-points (this jacket is just $29) and styling. Their website is chock-full of great pieces at incredibly low prices!

I paired the jacket with a simple black silky top (similar HERE and HERE) and Joe's black high-waisted jeans. This fabulous necklace was a recent find at TJ Maxx. Their jewelry selection is amazing and now you can shop online! Here are some super reasonable pieces I love HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE (so many great necklaces!!!).

I've got this thing for buying consignment bags. I can't seem to stop myself and I'm running out of storage space! I bought this patent leather animal print bag several years ago. Here are some other unique animal print bags HERE (smaller) and HERE (SOOO cute!!!).

I find a block heel to be so comfy. Similar black block heel pumps HERE and HERE.

These photos were take with my first cast...now I'm on to cast #4. The last few weeks have been a long haul.

Signing off---see you soon. Thanks for stopping by!

Chan Luu jewelry and print tote

ageless style

I love Chan Luu jewelry. If you're not familiar with the line, it's got a hip and modern California flair.

I got this seed bead necklace and bracelet on sale at Nordstrom a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, they just sold out, but here are some similar pieces I really love--HERE and HERE (both reasonably priced). I also found these Chan Luu fabulous earrings for just $21.58 and these beautiful beaded earrings for just $31.19 (they're in my shopping cart!).

I'm wearing Joe's Icon ankle jeans (rolled) with a loose black 3/4 sleeve tee, similar HERE.

This fun print tote is by Steve Madden, similar HERE and HERE.

Black suede tassel sandals in a low wedge complete the look. Almost identical HERE and LOVE these too!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

Faux fur and denim

all denim

I generally save this fur-collar coat for "going out", but I love it so much that I want to wear it all the time! It may seem like an unlikely combination, but I paired it with an all denim outfit

and I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

Wearing denim on denim can be tricky. I think that the look works best when the shades of blue are different. I also like it when one of the pieces has some patches of fading--

like these Joe's jeans. You could also switch things around and pair a faded denim shirt

with dark wash jeans.

You could actually wear this outfit with sneakers (yes sneakers!) or ankle boots, but I chose a

chunky low-heel suede pump. I also added a coordinating suede tote to balance things out.

The fur collar gives the outfit interest and a bit of sophistication. I've had this coat for about 7 years and fur trim never goes out of style. Oh geesh, I just noticed an empty flower pot in the background...don't look.

So pull your dressy coat out of the closet and start wearing it more often.

If you don't have anything with fur trim, here are some ideas.

Here, here and here

Bye for now!

Lounging around

Aquatalia by Marvin K.

Oh those lazy days when it feels so good to curl up with a cup of tea and a good book! Here's an idea for a cute lounging outfit that will take you from hanging out around the house to running errands.

This Max Studio flannel shirt (found at Marshall's) has a bit more style and softness than a traditional stiffer flannel. Similar here. Jeans by Joe's.

After a few hours of relaxation time, it's time to throw on some boots and head out for a bit.

Aquatalia makes the BEST boots ever. They're incredibly comfortable, will last for years, and the waterproof suede really holds up to the elements.

Pricey yes, but they're worth every cent. I don't skip on my midlife feet.

Quick fix to the "bed head", grabbing a burgundy wool coat and my very old Coach

cross-body pouch (LOVE this one!)...

...and "a shopping I will go!"

I should have left my credit card at home!
