Fun, comfortable, cool are a few words I use when I’m buying new clothes. Having your own personal style doesnt have to be difficult, it doesnt have to reflect trends or other people or even what your Gen Z kids like. Adopting keywords will help you stay true to yourself while shopping and ensure you wear what you buy.

This feels so awkward to be talking about, but I’m going to talk about it anyway. I’m aging. We’re all aging. But one of my favorite party tricks is telling people that I have a son in graduate school and that I’m in my mid-forties.

I didn’t start taking care of my skin until I was 35 and already seeing the signs of sun damage and general aging. I still go in the sun and love having a tan, but I now wear sunscreen daily and have a twice daily skincare routine that is working to slow aging.

I’ve tweaked my routine several times over the years but there is one piece of the puzzle that I can confidently say is responsible for my skin looking so youthful. I stopped using it for about 9 months and not only did I notice but people around me noticed too, and not in a good way.

I sucked it up and bought my magic serum again and within two weeks I was getting compliments on my skin. Even the dermatologist was raving. I haven’t ever had any Botox and it’s been over a year since my last facial. This serum is not cheap but damn, it’s worth it to me. I’m not sure I can ever go without it again.

I am positively obsessed with this sleek, chic outfit. My thighs have always been too thick for thigh-highs. I wind up looking like a sausage stuffed into a too-small casing. These tights from From Rachel are a sexy, playful response to thigh-highs without the sausage casing effect. The washable silk skirt paired with a contrasting cotton fabric adds dimension while staying monochromatic and chic

Honestly the best pants. They look good paired with a crochet top, a bodysuit, a crop top, even an oversized sweater. Plus they’re roomy but look like slacks so they’re basically like office pajamas. Get some

I can’t find these exact pants anywhere but the linked pants from Chicos are so close. This is my “scandalous”, “unprofessional” outfit for my daughter’s high school orientation today

I wore this outfit to work a bridal brunch this week. Something blue with the most comfortable shoes. You don’t have to sacrifice style, comfort, or quality in your 40s. And short suits are the new skirt suits.

I work in the wedding industry but I still like to wear things that reflect who I am as a person. This outfit is fully from Quince, shoes from Aerosoles and I can run a mile in them (a mile is like a marathon for me, okay?). Rings: oura & Saks Necklaces: TTPD, Amazon & Little Rooms

I’m in my 90s mom era with mock neck turtleneck sweaters, blazers, and mom jeans. Saint Laurent slides and a vintage Chloe messenger bag add the perfect chic polish. Links to similar and same slide options are in my link

Don’t feel pressured to adopt other people’s style. You can admire something on someone else and not want to wear it yourself. Dress yourself in things that make you feel confident and adopt little pieces of trends to add to and enhance your core wardrobe as they pop up - and only if you love them

Joy is your daughter growing taller than you. Joy is watching her work together as part of a team. Joy is watching her become. Joy is having her help you pick your outfit out only to tell you the one you chose is absolutely no good and then having all her friends AND your friends tell you your outfit is fire. Sometimes joy is being right

Things I've learned about personal style in my 40s Part 4: Having cellulite is a dumb reason not to wear shorts. Just wear the damn shorts. And if you are sometime who negatively judges someone with cellulite, please know that that says way more about you than it does about them. Also: if you aren’t shopping Quince for your wardrobe staples yet what are you even doing?

Things i learned about style in my 40s, Part
3: you don't have to sacrifice style to be comfortable.
These crepe pants from Abercrombie are so flipping comfortable and look amazing paired with a cashmere sweater for winter or a silk tank during summer. Style it up with some jewelry and chunky leather loafers for a business casual look with a current slant.

Style tips part 2: celebrate your body exactly where it is today by wearing things that make you feel worthy of celebration. For me it’s clothes that hug my curves, accentuate my waist, and even show off my hip dips. Your body is worth celebrating every step of the way

Silver shoes & a winter white blazer make the difference between wearing your clothes and styling them.

Mixing shades of denim is completely acceptable, right?

Comfortable + edgy? Say less

I like to pair high and low priced items for a quiet luxury look. The necklace is from Amazon, the tank & pants are from Anthropologie’s sale room, the sweater is old lululemon but I linked a similar one from Amazon. The shoes? YSL. IYKYK. THE ENTIRE FIT is approved by my very judgmental 14 year old daughter AND her friends.

It’s pizza night! Wishing we could head into a Blockbuster Video while we wait but we’ll shoot OOTD pics instead. Linked sweater & skirt aren’t exact but are very similar

It got down to the 40s in north Florida this week which means I got to drag out the Farm Rio x Anthropologie sweater mini dress & my new wide calf boots from the Journee Collection. This fit is certified fire by Gen Z!

This was before I started eating more which has resulted in a 20lb weight loss since this photo was taken. These jeans are looser now, I still love this sweater, this is still my favorite hat, and I still don’t love my body. But I’m learning, and I’m trying. I’m doing my best, and that’s all I can ask of myself right now. http://liketk.it/2SXxY @liketoknow.it #liketkit
The sweater is long sold out but I linked a similar one (same company) and linked up a summer version of this hot wool hat. #selflove #celebratemycurves #plussizefashion #plussizediva #badB
