$10 blazer vs $249 blazer — here’s the truth. This is a pre-loved 100% wool blazer I found for $10, styled next to a similar tailored wool blazer currently selling for $249. Same fabric. Similar structure. Timeless, classic fit. This is why I focus on quality over price, especially when building a capsule wardrobe after 40. When you know what to look for — fabric composition, tailoring, shoulder structure — you don’t need to overpay to look polished. I shop pre-loved blazers, vintage wool jackets, and classic silhouettes, then style them in a modern, effortless way that works for real life. If you’re rebuilding your wardrobe in midlife, investing in timeless style, or learning how to shop smarter — this is for you. ✨ Save this for blazer shopping ✨ Follow me for over-40 style tips, outfit formulas, and capsule wardrobe ideas LTKgrwm LTKootd LTKSaleAlert

One of the fastest ways to let your style get stagnant is believing inspiration has an age limit.

I love taking cues from younger women — not to dress younger, but to keep my style current, intentional, and evolving. Trends shift, silhouettes change, and fresh eyes matter at every age.

This is my midlife take on a look I loved — styled in a way that works for my body, lifestyle, and confidence.

✨ Style isn’t about age.
✨ It’s about curiosity.
✨ And knowing how to adapt inspiration to fit you.

Sometimes what’s trending, like this leather bomber, can also be a classic staple in your wardrobe.
When deciding on purchasing a trend lead piece consider these things:
1. Can I style this new item with more than three items in my existing wardrobe?
2. Is this color wearable long term?
3. Is there a lot of identifying hardware on the piece that won’t wear well long term?
For example: I chose this leather jacket because: the color wasn’t a harsh black but a deep brown which will go with my entire wardrobe for years to come. It’s functional beyond its trending appearance and there is no hardware that will date the piece and will go withALL of my capsule wardrobe!

Simple is chic.
Have you noticed how the outfits that get thousands of saves are often just a jumper, jeans, and loafers?

It’s not because they’re flashy.
It’s because they’re intentional.

Wearing an outfit on repeat isn’t boring — it’s a signature.
The same sweater.
The same shoes.
The same jacket.

That’s how personal style is built.
Consistency over chaos.
Quality over quantity.
When you know what works, you stop chasing trends and start refining.

Simple doesn’t mean basic.
It means confident.
It means elevated.
It means timeless.

Casual doesn’t mean sloppy.
It means intentional.

Winter outfits built on soft neutrals, suede textures, cozy cashmere, and relaxed silhouettes — pieces that feel comfortable and pulled together.

This is how I dress casually while still feeling polished:
quality fabrics, thoughtful layers, and simple styling that does the work for you.

This is exactly why I stopped buying “more” clothes and started building a wardrobe that actually works.

Every outfit in this reel comes from the same capsule — neutral foundations with one intentional pop of color to shift the energy from casual to elevated casual.

If your closet feels boring, it’s usually not because you need new pieces — it’s because your basics aren’t doing enough for you.

✨ Think:
• quality neutrals
• simple silhouettes
• one standout detail

When in doubt grab a blazer ! It’s my go to uniform when I don’t want to figure it out but wanna look smart .
Pro Tip- add a bright pair of socks to add visual interest .

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKgrwm

A simple jeans and sweater can be elevated by adding one or two points of interest. Here I added a triangle scarf and a lace cami peaking out under the jumper . Your point of interest can be a simple neck scarf or a shirt tied around the waist. It adds a layer of visual interest that elevates your everyday look.

2025 Style Recap 🤍 Lessons I’m Taking With Me

This year changed how I get dressed — and why.

• I’m choosing quality over quantity. Fewer pieces, better fabrics, better fit.
• I’d rather invest in classic styles that last than buy 10 trendy items I’ll replace next season.
• And yes… I’m an emotional dresser. When I take the time to get dressed and feel fabulous, my mood, confidence, and emotional well-being genuinely improve.

Getting dressed isn’t shallow — it’s self-care in this season of life.

If this sounds like you, follow me for realistic, elevated style for midlife women 🤍

Winter capsule wardrobe inspiration 🤍
This is just one example—because the best capsule wardrobe is the one that fits your lifestyle, body, climate, and personal style.

That said, every successful winter capsule wardrobe for women over 40 shares the same foundation:

• High-quality wardrobe staples made from natural fibers that last year after year
• Classic, timeless clothing pieces that won’t feel dated next winter (or five winters from now)
• A cohesive neutral color palette that allows every item to mix and match effortlessly

This is where you invest—think quality coats, knitwear, trousers, denim, boots, and bags that elevate everything else in your closet.

Once your core is solid, you can layer in trend pieces as accents—these are the fun, lower-cost items you can rotate seasonally without regret.

A capsule wardrobe isn’t about restriction.
It’s about intentional style, fewer decisions, and getting dressed with confidence every single day.

✨ Build smart. Invest wisely. Style intentionally.

Outfits I’ve carried over and worn on repeat the last two years! One of my goals for 2026 is to get my coat per wear out of my pieces.

So my intention is to show you by example how to SHOP YOUR OWN CLOSET!
