With summer approaching all of the fashion websites have tips and ideas for cool new clothes. In my web surfing for some summer duds I ran across an interesting article. “What never to wear if you’re Over 40”. Um, I’m sorry, excuse me?
I thought we were grown woman, spending our own money, thereby allowing us to purchase and wear what we liked. While there are some time honored old rules grandma taught us about what’s appropriate for work, church, showing up for your parent-teacher conference, the rest of my life is up for grabs.
What’s the over 40 dig about? Oh that’s right; I lost my mind for a moment. We all know any woman over 40 is no longer attractive, vibrant, or should be interested in being fashionable. Oh and if you weigh more than 100 pounds you’re a cow. Who makes these decisions and what gives them the right to decide I’m too old for something? Are you kidding me?
Why is ok for the over 40 Hollywood women to wear fabulous, hot clothes but the soccer mom in suburbia is rule ridden? Because we’ve not been nipped, tucked, starved or touting a $400 hair cut? Give me a break; we’re the only real women left. |

As far away as it seems (at least here in North Carolina!) fall is just around the corner! I have decided to forego my usual boxy sweaters and jeans, and attempt to be more fashion forward! So what will I be adding to my wardrobe this fall? Sit back and let me share! Like most of us, budget is essential. I cannot spend $500 on a couture jacket that will only be in style one season. So let’s stick to the trends that we can modify to fit our budgets and still leave us grinning ear to ear! Just as the spring trend was skinny jeans with free flowing tops, the hot trend continues into this fall! Longer, billowy tops paired with leggings or skinny jeans give us a gorgeous drape and less structure than in previous seasons. The core pieces you will want to have are a perfect pair of slim black pants, a pencil skirt and leggings. With these three items, you’ll have the base for your wardrobe. The best part is all three pieces are wearable! These are items many of us already have and wear with regularity! |
