It’s too soon to push denim to the back of the closet - but we can lighten it up a bit for Spring. Here are three easy ideas for you! My necklace is from a special brand, Tagua. They are such a unique brand that I didn’t even want to try to link something similar, but you can check them out on their website! Their pieces are made in Ecquador! LTKootd LTKOver40 LTKSeasonal

“Most underrated” might be an exaggeration, but you still want a short sleeve sweater in your closet, especially right now.

I’ve linked my sweaters plus a few more that I like, hope you find one that’s perfect for you!

I love navy all year long, but even more so for Spring. For this time of year, i really love a classic look - gold buttons, paired with white - i think you know what i am tlakong about!

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal

Butter yellow isn’t going anywhere! And I am happy about that!

I bought my pants last year and have been on the hunt for the perfect top - and I found it from WHBM! What I love about this top, besides its flattering style, are the colors.

I’ve heard a lot of my friends and clients say “I can’t wear yellow” even though they like it. Here is one way to add it to your wardrobe. Putting the most of the bitter yellow in your bottoms and add a multi. Plot top that has more of the colors that are flattering to you! And you can pick your accent color from the top, as I did with my sage green handbag.

I have been guilty of this in the past! Thinking a matching set can only be worn together- but it can be so much more!

You can make so many more outfits when you separate the pieces (especially great for travel). This set, from Amazon, is a great travel fabric and the set, itself, is just fun. I will wearing this on repeat this summer!

#LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal #LTKFestival

I love that polka dots are so popular this season - and brown and white are my absolute favorite!

All my key pieces are available and I am adding a few extras for you! You can start wearing these now and keep wearing them through early fall!

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

I just bought these this week, and they are all still available…for now!

If you’ve been following me for a while, you already know how much I love brown - including I the spring and summer. So these brown pieces were a must for me.

And I love these pleated shorts. They are not overly pleated, so they don’t add much bulk, but I love their dressier feel.

This week I shared my TV segment on “Debunking Four Fashion Myths Over 50”. So I wanted to share that I practice what I preach!

First up: Color! I love wearing color, especially for Sprinf. Lavender just happens to be my favorite color so these pants we a must-have.

Second; Going sleeveless! I am always too hot to not go sleeveless in this summer. But as I mentioned in the segment, if you are uncomfortable with your arms, add a “distracting piece”, like I’ve done with my scarf. The scarf brings attention to my collarbone and away from my arms!

My green and lilac top is old out, but I did find some other great options!

Here’s how I am updating my wardrobe this month and the pieces that I am adding for the special events this month!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKootd

Neutral outfits sometimes get a reputation for being boring.

But one of the easiest styling tricks stylists use is monochrome dressing: wearing one color head to toe.

It instantly makes an outfit look more intentional and polished.

The secret is mixing textures so the look still has interest. In this case, a satin bomber paired with a soft jersey dress keeps the outfit from feeling flat.

Sometimes the simplest outfits are the most sophisticated.

#LTKOver40 #LTKWorkwear #LTKootd

This blouse from Loft is about as close to perfect as you can get. Crisp, white cotton, classic style but the gold buttons add just a little something extra. Makes it so easy to wear it to work, brunch, errands - anywhere you want to wear it!

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

Take these beauties with you on Soring Break - they will match everything in your suitcase!

#LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal #LTKTravel

Brown accessories are going to be essential this season! They are perfect complement to warm up your neutrals and they balance your colors beautifully! Make the switch!

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40

A style tip today….

If long tops are making you feel boxy, it’s usually a proportion issue.

When a top falls past the hip without shape, it creates one long line. A slightly shorter or structured top creates definition, without being tight.

Where the hemline lands makes all the difference.

Have you noticed this in your own wardrobe?

#LTKgrwm #LTKootd #LTKOver40

Can you find cute Spring Break outfits at Target, even after 50? The answer is absolutely yes!

The polka dot pants are back in stock in all sizes! Get them now!

Winter White is a great option for the month of February! We’re all getting a little tired of black and gray and winter white can brighten your entire look!

Winter white is just one part of my blog post, “What to Wear in February” that you can find on my website, www.dianneinstyle.com

#LTKOver40 #LTKootd #LTKWorkwear

One polka dot skirt, so many options!
This is the e perfect skirt to dress up or down. I styled mine more on the dressier side, but you could easily wear this with flats and sweater for a date night look.

I kept the look more tonal because I wanted to keep the focus on the skirt!

#LTKWorkwear #LTKootd #LTKOver40

Pull-on jeans don’t have to look dated.

The smooth front can actually look incredibly polished - if you style them intentionally.

✔️Choose a modern silhouette
✔️ Skip the full tuck
✔️ Balance proportions

It IS possible to be both chic and comfortable!

It’s not too early to start taking about spring jackets - especially if you’re planning a spring break getaway!

Let’s start with the cropped trench - perfect for both work and play and a new essential for your spring wardrobe.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKootd

Red doesn’t belong to just one day ❤️

February is the perfect time to wear it — whether you’re heading into meetings or styling it for everyday life.

A red blouse instantly elevates a classic black skirt.

A tailored red suit brings confidence and presence to your workday.

Same color.
Different approaches.
Both are completely wearable.

If you’re looking for ideas on what to wear this month, including how to work bold color into your wardrobe, I just shared it all in my latest blog

This might not be my best outfit, but it’s one of my favorites.

Running with the Olympic torch in 2002 is a moment I still think about, especially with the Opening Ceremonies today. It’s not because of the spotlight, but because of what it represented. Getting a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a part of something bigger, preparing for the moment, and being present to thoroughly enjoy every step.

Style is always about context.
And sometimes the most meaningful outfits are tied to memories, not mirrors.

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKstorytime

Run, do not walk to pick up these shoes for Spring (or even Spring break)

Cute, comfortable and a great price! What more do you need???

#LTKOver40 #LTKActive #LTKSeasonal

I just love a fair isle sweater. They are perfect for this time of year - for an Aprés Ski look or an upcoming Olympics watch party.

I purchased my sweater from Hollister - and if you’re wondering why a 50+ woman is shopping at Hollister, it’s because I believe anyone, at any age, can shop at any store. You can always find pieces that suit your style - like this one.

I’ve curated 10 fair isle sweaters for you have fun shopping for this look!

#LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal #LTKootd

Why not? “Christmas sweaters” don’t have to just be for Christmas! You can repurpose them for Valentine’s Day.

I did find some red sweaters (mostly on sale) if you do want to buy something new!

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKValentine

If you saw my post yesterday (with my amazing suede side stripe jeans), then you may recognize this blouse. But I decided it needed its own post. That’s because I love it that much!

You can see all the great features in the video, so I will skip to the good part - it’s $20 on Amazon. I would buy it for a lot more, it’s that good. I highly recommend!

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKootd #LTKOver40

How fun are these jeans from Boston Proper? They were an immediate “Add to Cart” for me.

What I love about them is that while they have an on-trend suede stripe, the overall style of the jean is classic. I already know that these jeans will be in my closet for years. As a fan of country music, these will be perfect at my next concert. But they can be styled for much more than that. They look just as good with a simple turtleneck. They are not that heavy, so these jeans can be worn all year long.

#LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal #LTKootd

I love this hack! It removes the bulkiness from the cardigan in two ways.

First, if I wear to try to front tuck this cardigan, it would be way too bulky, uncomfortable, and would just look off.

If I had decided ti leave it as is, the bottom is just a little heavy and would also hide the top of my leather pants. And because I wanted this to be a date night look, it would even look a little too casual that way.

I am linking to my sweater and leather pants!

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKgrwm

Sometimes subtle is all you need, like this red sweater with heart buttons from Old Navy.

Valentine’s Day is a month away, and if you don’t want to go “all-in” on hearts, this sweater gives you a little bit of celebration, but a lot of style. The best part is you can wear it at least three different ways

✨Casual with jeans and booties, perfect for a Galentine’s Day brunch with girlfriends

✨Perfectly subtle for the office. Belted with a slim pencil skirt and heels

✨Paired with leather pants, open collar, perfect for date night

This one sweater is all you need to celebrate the holiday.

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKSeasonal

Golden Globes style → real life wardrobes.

This year’s red carpet wasn’t about excess — it was about intention.
Here’s what actually translates into everyday dressing:

✨ Black & white dominated, with bold color stepping in when neutrals were skipped
✨ Waist-defining silhouettes with movement and asymmetry
✨ Fluid fabrics like satin and silk instead of heavy texture
✨ One statement piece of jewelry — necklace, earrings, or ring — not all three

The best takeaway? You don’t need a gown to borrow from red-carpet style. You just need to know what to look for.

Here are some everyday pieces to add to your wardrobe.

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKWorkwear

Your “work blazers” don’t have to be one-dimensional. With a few tweaks, you can turn them into an elevated casual look.

I swapped the matching pants for jeans and wore my boots on the outside instead of underneath my pants. I buttoned and belted the jacket and swapped my structured bag for a backpack. Quick edits to change the entire look!
