Jodie's Touch of Style showcases how it's never too late to look great including other older women and myself talking about fashion, beauty, and Lifestyle issues.
As a retired dentist, Jodie takes her love of clothing and shopping and has come to find her superpowers in styling the same item in many ways. She is also a huge advocate for embracing our age and bodies. Getting old is a wonderful thing and learning to love ourselves while it happens is very freeing.
Looking great can happen no matter what age, shape or budget, as we show on Jodie's Touch of Style.

I’m a firm believer that shoes can make or break a look. That’s one reason I thought it would be fun to have the three of us rock blue shoe outfits with three different concepts. This all started because Joanne chose the prompt January Blues for our Ageless Style group.Quote of the day: “Comparison is the thief of joy when applied broadly, but the teacher of skills when applied narrowly.” James ClearWhen it comes to building a versatile wardrobe, shoes are often the secret ingredient that takes an outfit from basic to brilliant. Blue shoes, in particular, are a game-changer…

I had the request about dressing warm but not bulky months ago, and it’s finally time we can share this idea. I know many women feel like winter fashion is a balancing act of staying warm without looking like the Michelin Man. So I asked ChatGPT the question, and this post describes what AI said, and how we interpreted it.Quote of the day: “If you reach–but just a little–and you do it every week, then you’ll take on challenges that are manageable enough that you win most of the time, but meaningful enough that you improve as well.” James ClearThis kind of topic can be s…

When creating a versatile wardrobe, different types of tops are the unsung heroes that hold your outfits together. And while “trends” may come and go, I always like to figure out stylish ways to use what we have in our closets.Quote of the day: “Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.” Jim RohnThe crew is diving into three different types of tops based on their lengths: tunic, mid-length, and cropped. Each offers something special and can be made to look wonderful, whether you’re dressing up, staying casual, or aiming to balance propor…

I took photos in the closet for the first two days of this post, outside the closet for the next two days, and then in the living room. Let me know if you have a preference. It’s easier for me to do them in the closet, but I realize it’s a very busy background, so it could be distracting.Or maybe you like the variety?

My ideas on how to detox your wardrobe may be just the opposite of what normal stylists will tell you. And since our Where Bloggers Live is talking about resolutions, I thought this subject would be tremendously appropriate.Quote of the day: “This year instead of making a resolution to change yourself, make a resolution to love yourself. Then positive changes will come naturally, because we want good things for the people we love, and we know they’re worth the effort.” Lori DescheneThe beginning of a new year is the perfect time for a fresh start—and what better place to be…

While I believe each and every person should read the book, Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, I also realize that most of you aren’t as interested in medicine and biology as I am. However, I learned so many important everyday lessons from this book so I wanted to share those with you.Quote of the day: “We all have our biases. We cannot eliminate them. Instead, we need to recognize them and actively bend them as best we can.” Dr. Claude BernardFor those of us striving to lead vibrant, healthy lives, this book is a gentle but powerful reminder: even the most trusted sys…

Jewelry is one of the easiest ways to make a statement and show off your personality. But instead of purchasing something new, why not create a custom chain necklace using items you already own?Quote of the day: “You do not need a vision, you need the practice of envisioning.” James ClearI was inspired to try this idea after seeing another influencer do the same on Pinterest, and now I’ve used the trick many times. Of course, I have loads of ideas and even came up with a video if that’s more helpful.With a chain necklace as your base, you can mix and match brooches, lob…

When the JtouchofStyle crew was working on color combinations with burgundy last year, I had the idea to create an article on how to style burgundy and metallics. This color duo marries burgundy’s warmth and richness with metallic tones’ shimmering elegance.Quote of the day: “If you do not actively choose a better way, then society, culture, and the general inertia of life will push you into a worse way. The default is distraction, not improvement.” James ClearBurgundy is one of those colors that tend to be relegated to the winter month. Still, as we proved in our original …

When it comes to adding personality to your wardrobe, I’m a firm believer that our footwear can make a huge difference. That’s why I thought it would be fun to DIY your boots.Not that I’m going to make my own boots, but I can decorate them like you wouldn’t believe.

My goal has always been to inspire, connect, and showcase the joy of personal style. However, let’s be honest: not every blog post, social media idea, or product hits the mark. This year, 2024, was full of wonderful successes (as I shared earlier this week), but there were also moments that didn’t hit the high marks. One thing I try to do is analyze and learn from both the successes and flops.Quote of the day: “Your failures are your accomplishments because it makes you prepared for whatever it is that you are going to do next.” -Lee DanielsIt’s not always as easy to real…

As part of our Thrifty 6 group, Sally chose the prompt “Wintergreen.” That being said, I thought it would be fun to come up with 3 concepts on how to wear green.
