Tuesday I had meetings in the city. There would be walking, possibly some photos, I wanted to look casual yet polished. My go-to for such situations is jeans, a blazer, and an interesting pair of shoes. These are all wardrobe classics for me and have been for years. The silhouettes may change slightly as new…
I love turquoise jewelry. I have had several pieces over the years. When we did our cross-country road trip a few years ago, Karl purchased me a turquoise cuff in Four Corners (seen in this outfit post). My sister bought me a turquoise ring for my 40th birthday, and I have turquoise pieces in my…
This past weekend I went to Palm Springs, California with the clothing brand Chico’s. Along with four other over-40 influencers (Sheree of SheSheShow, Dawn Lucy of Fashion Should be Fun, Tonya of The Real Chic Life, and Jamie of More than Turquoise), we had a weekend of fashion and adventure. I was not paid or…
The concept of white pants and jeans only between Memorial Day and Labor Day is dated. I even shared a post on how to wear white after Labor Day. White is a color that can now be worn year-round. The goal is to make white looks appropriate to the season. I love wearing white jeans…

The other weekend my friend celebrated a milestone birthday. To honor it, his wife threw him a party at their home. Food, drink, even a live band! I wanted to dress festively but also be comfortable dancing and standing on my feet all night; I also knew we’d be outside occasionally and wanted to be…
Okay, I am totally writing this while a winter storm warning is coming for my area but this is about my favorite swimsuit. I love fun swimsuits, sexy swimsuits, statement swimsuits, and suits that suck in and lift up. But to be honest, the Lands’ End Tugless has been a mainstay in my wardrobe for…
