Drerss For Your Life - Not for Your Age

Image
Y our Style is Not for Anyone But You As my age increases, my style options have expanded (like my waistline). I’m no longer a teen or 20-something. My thirties are behind me and as I navigate my forties, I realized that I let society, friends, family, and co-workers dictate my style. I have always loved color and that continues today. Colorful outfits inspire me. They give off a fun, full-of-life vibe. When I wear something colorful, I feel energized and confident. Yes, I do like darker tones, but I always add a pop of color to black, brown, and gray outfits. A pop of color brightens any outfit, making it more vibrant and less rigid.

Clothes should match your personality and make you feel comfortable and safe. In short, clothing should be liberate women from societal constraints.

Are You a Fashion Misfit?

Image
Awkward is the New Black I’m a fashion misfit. I follow trends but then I use my style choices to create my look. I don’t want to be a clone of everyone else when a certain fashion style is trending. I want to stand out, fitting in is too exhausting. I’ve learned over the years that fashion is cyclical — what’s old is new again. The trends of a particular decade become popular for a new generation. Designers are always looking to the past to define the present aesthetic. Rarely, do you see fashion that is original — it’s always redesign of something else. But what does it mean to be a fashion misfit? To be a fashion misfit means to dress or express yourself in ways that don’t align with mainstream fashion norms or trends. It’s not about lacking style — it’s about intentionally (or sometimes unintentionally) choosing clothing, accessories, or aesthetics that stand out, break rules, or reflect a deeply personal, unconventional taste. Key traits of a fashion misfit: Nonconformity:...

And I’m Not Talking About Your Sneakers Photo Source: Harper’s Bazaar I’ve never been a lacy aesthetic type of girl. I’m rough in my clothes and fabrics like lace, linen, satin, and silk rip too easily. But lace trim is trending and the looks are so pretty — I’m reconsidering giving lace another try. Lace has always been a design that conveys chic, sexy, and upscale. Lace was originally only for the aristocrats and the elites. It wasn’t something common folk would wear as they toiled in fields and factories. As the cost of lace decreased, lace became something to wear to church or social events. The common folk used lace to show their financial status had improved in the community. Today, lace is in everything. Lace is used in dresses, skirts, sleepwear, hats, and hair accessories. There are lace gloves and stockings. Lace trim can be found on shoes, suit jackets, capes, and sleeves. Lace always has a place in fashion. Let’s look at lace in the following article excerpts: Asymm...
