The Midlife Fashionista: womens style inspiration

Winery style

I live near a winery...I mean does life get any more perfect?
Right down the street from our new home is a fabulous little vineyard called Willow Springs which is just lovely for taking photos.

This olive dress is perfect for a summer day or to easily transition to fall with the addition of a jacket and booties. It's great for wine tasting too! I found it in the Marshall's clearance section, but here are some other styles that I think you'll like HERE HERE and HERE

Similar neutral shoes HERE HERE and HERE look great with this color dress.

My camo bag was purchased at Uncommon Closet, which raises money for Uncommon Threads (by the way we are now on Instagram--hope you'll like us!). More camo bag options HERE HERE and HERE.

Hey my dress matches the grapes--totally unplanned by the way!

Cheers!

Embroidered dress

Boston style blogger

Oh those summer days when it's SO hot, humid and sticky!

Yuck!

It's been like a jungle here in Boston for weeks on end so I've been living in cool summer dresses. The less material next to my skin, the better!

I picked up this cute little embroidered dress at TJ's last month and although I scoured the internet to find it for you, the best I can do is to provide you with a similar style HERE (more at the bottom of the page too!).

I feel SO lucky that my new home has a community pool.

Although I can't really swim (random fact you might not know about me), I do love lounging poolside! If I'm feeling brave, I'll throw on a suit and do a bit of wading.

I love an easy breezy dress like this one because you always look cool and fresh, even though you may be roasting!

Scroll through my accessories below. On hot days I don't wear a ton of jewelry--it's just too sticky!

Here are some other dress ideas for you.

Thanks for stopping by! Stay cool!

Cali and York

ageless style

I'm a sucker for soft comfortable clothes. So when Cali and York recently reached out to me to help them promote the launch of their new line, I said YES! These clothes are like wearing pj's all day, but way more stylish!

Let's start with these crazy comfortable "I could live in" white knit pants. With a high rise (no muffin top!) and perfectly cropped length, they're a "must have".

I'm also wear Cali and York's knit top from their Desert Mirage Collection.

I love all the pretty details Cali and York adds in!

Next up I'm wearing their Sonoma Valley Knit Cardigan which is perfect over a little black tank, like their black Glitz Tank.

This little tank has a sprinkling of subtle rhinestones and looks fabulous on its own or layered.

One of my favorite pieces is this Shimmer Stripe Knit Polo from Cali and York's Hampton Collection. It takes stripes to a whole other level with a contrasting collar, bit of shimmer, and fabulous criss-cross cuffs. There is nothing boring about this top!

This cute little Shimmer Stripe Tank is also from the Hampton's Collection.

I like my tees to be heavier in weight. I stay away from thin clingy tees and go for more of a substantial fabric.

Cali and York offers a fabulous selection of tees that not only fit great, but also have their signature details. Here I'm modeling the Cali Glitz top.

Isn't the neckline sweet?

And the notched cuff makes this tee a bit more elegant.

Here it is in a beautiful coral color.

...and basic white.

This Tribal Knit Print Top is loaded with gorgeous details!

There is the coolest little black bead at each side of this top!

Besides being incredibly comfortable and stylish, the Cali and York line is also surprisingly affordable! This line is also perfect for travel--everything mixes and matches!

And as a special gift to you, Cali and York is offering my followers 20% off at checkout with code SUSAN20

I know you'll enjoy experiencing Cali and York and fall in love with their clothes!

Leota maxi dress

ageless style

I find maxi dresses to be so comfortable AND if I forget to shave my legs, no problem!

This Leota maxi is perfect for the summer months, but can be worn almost all year round too! Aren't the colors amazing?

And the best part is that it's on sale for just $125! Find it HERE.

Leota is such a fabulous company. They make the most beautiful clothes AND they donate to Uncommon Threads.

I'm wearing the Songo River Sandal from Jax and Bard , located in Maine. I connected with the owner Jax on Instagram last month, and she came to Uncommon Threads with boxes of shoes to donate! She's the absolute sweetest and I LOVE her comfortable and stylish shoe collection! These sandals have a solid chunky heel that is stable and just the right height.

These beautiful gunmetal earrings are from another Instagram connection, Mack and Jane Jewelry. I am head over heels for this stunning, yet very reasonably priced line.

There you have it, three AMAZING businesses and one fabulous outfit!
