If you’ve ever wondered whether you can mix stripes and polka dots, the answer is a resounding yes. In fact, combining prints is one of the easiest ways to create a look that feels creative and full of personality. Yet so many women avoid it because they’re worried they’ll get it “wrong” or it’s “too much.” Quote of the day: “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” Albert Einstein So when Marsha suggested this prompt for our Ageless Style Group, I knew there would be a couple of eye rolls with my crew. But you’d never know it looking at t…

When people hear me talking about my healthy lifestyle now, they might assume I’ve always lived this way. But that’s not the case at all. So, in all transparency, I thought I’d share what I did wrong. Quote of the day: “Remain focused on the core problem, but explore a new line of attack. Persistence is not just about effort, but also strategy. Don’t merely try harder, try differently.” James Clear In fact, I truly believe that I’m the healthiest I’ve ever been, and that’s saying something because I’m 60 years old. Looking back, I’m not sure I would have done…

Styling fringe purses may make you think about boho concerts and festivals, but I truly believe in the power of dichotomy when it comes to our looks. Quote of the day: “Just because you fail once doesn’t mean you’re gonna fail at everything.” Marilyn Monroe I always like to say that we are NOT one-dimensional, and thus our outfits shouldn’t be either. Since our Thrifty 6 group called out styling fringe, I took it a step further and decided to explore fringe purses. Fringe accessories can add movement, texture, and personality to an outfit, but many women avoid them bec…

If someone had told me a year ago that I’d be writing about the adventures of a 2 year old cat, I probably would have laughed. After all, we’ve always rescued senior cats who were perfectly content to nap in sunbeams and not be any trouble. Quote of the day: “Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.” Saint Augustine Then Maverick came into our lives. For the past six months, we’ve been learning what it’s like to live with a young cat…

Swing dresses are one of those magical wardrobe pieces that are comfortable, forgiving, and easy to wear. But I wouldn’t be surprised if many of you thought they weren’t flattering. I’m here to say that there are many ways to wear a swing dress, and you can break the rules or follow them. Quote of the day: “Your response to a challenge defines you more than the challenge itself.” James Clear I had the four of us work on options for “how to style” a swing dress. Instead of wearing them traditionally, each of us experimented with a different styling technique to show just…

I remember when I first started writing in fashion and style, there were certain rules associated with long skirt style. Rules like: define your waist, wear heels, keep proportions balanced, and don’t mix too many patterns. Quote of the day: “Be adaptable. You don’t need the day to go perfectly to make it a good one.” James Clear While I believe guidelines can be helpful at times, I also believe that the most interesting outfits happen when you break the rules. By now, we have learned that style isn’t about following formulas. It’s about experimenting and having fun. L…

One of the categories for my New 60 Challenge (trying 60 new things for my 60th birthday) was EVENTS.This became a category because we have been here in Arizona for 7 years, and there are still some shindigs we haven’t attended that are right up our alley. Quote of the day: “Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.” Richard Branson We are those types of people who love going to musicals and performing arts events. And while we have been to a couple here in Arizona, we have NOT yet visited all of the fabulous theaters, both near and not so near to…

If there’s one beauty myth I’d love for us to toss out right alongside ugly “comfy” shoes and “age-appropriate” fashion rules, it’s the rigid makeup tips for mature skin. You know? Those ideas that “makeup” has to become boring as we get older. Quote of the day: “If you want something you’ve never had. You must be willing to do something you’ve never done.” Unknown Somewhere along the way, many of us were fed the hogwash that once we hit a certain age, we should stick to neutral lips, matte eyeshadows, and barely-there looks. But as with clothing, I believe …

Black and white pieces are one of those wardrobe staples that seem simple…until you start wondering how to make them feel fresh, personal, and not too predictable. That’s why we decided to think of new and interesting ways to style black and white skirts. Quote of the day: “You cannot expect to live a positive life if you hang with negative people.” Joel Osteen Recently, we shared ideas for styling black and white pants, and I thought we could explore the same concept with skirts, except with DIFFERENT ideas. This means you can apply these concepts to anything you own that is…
