Many thanks to @wfaagmt for having me on Good Morning Texas to talk about the “3 Keys to Long-Lasting Love.”

I loved talking all things marriage with @erinhuntertv and sharing tips that have kept our marriage going strong for nearly 40 years.

And YES! I wore an Amazon dress for my interview (and got lots of compliments!). We laughed about how well I matched the set and Erin too!

I’m convinced there’s a secret meeting where everyone decides what’s “in” and “out”… and somehow, I never get the invite! 😂

One minute I’m feeling very on-trend, and the next I’m finding out my socks, sneakers, and handbag shape are all “dated.” So I did a little deep dive for all of us!

The good news? I’m loving these newer trends for women over 50—healthier aging, glowy skin, softer colors, and a slower, more intentional way of living. Linking a few of my favorite finds to help us feel current, confident, and pulled together! 💕

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty #LTKstorytime

I always feel like I’m the last one to know what’s “in” and what’s “out”… so naturally, I went down the internet rabbit hole for all of us. 😂

From healthier skincare and softer colors to retro sneakers, east/west bags, and the end of “anti-aging” talk… these are some of the trends, mindset shifts, and style changes everyone’s talking about right now. Some made me laugh, some surprised me, and honestly… a few of them make a lot of sense.

Everything in this roundup is linked for you in one place. 💗

Turns out “appliance shopping outfit” is absolutely a thing now. 😏

This tonal seersucker maxi was perfect for a full day of appliance decisions because it’s lightweight, comfortable, wrinkle-resistant, and SO easy to wear. The smocking, ruffled shoulders, and pockets make it feel extra special without sacrificing comfort.

And these accessories completely made the outfit. The jewel-encrusted mesh Mary Janes are such a fun statement, and the Lele Sadoughi x The Met earrings are little wearable works of art.

This chambray denim dress is such a fresh, easy piece for spring and summer—lightweight 100% cotton with a relaxed, true-to-size fit that feels as good as it looks. The feminine details and easy silhouette make it perfect for everything from errands to lunch, especially paired with these crisp white machine-washable canvas sneakers that are lightweight, breathable, and truly comfortable enough for all-day wear. I finished the look with simple pearl accessories for that classic, polished touch.

Spoke about my book to a group at a church outside of Dallas today! This dress was perfect, comfortable, and oh-so classy!

#LTKdayinmylife #LTKOver40 #LTKWorkwear

Red, white, and you just found your Memorial Day look!
❤️🤍💙
If you’ve been wondering what to wear that feels festive but still like you… this is it! This under $20 dress is such a happy find. It’s light, flattering, and the kind of piece you can slip on and head out the door feeling confident for anything from a backyard gathering to a casual day out. It comes in sizes XS–4X, and there’s also a blue version if you want another option.

And can we talk about these shoes for a second… cherries 🍒 are having a moment, and these lace-up espadrilles are the happiest little finishing touch. They give this dress so much personality and make it feel special well beyond the holiday.
🇺🇸
Perfect for Memorial Day and all the summer moments that follow… easy, cheerful, and ready for wherever the day takes you.

This darling $30 lightweight Walmart sweater looks so high end! I've paired it with my fave stretch chinos and navy patent Mary Jane's.

This is a great outfit for lunch with friends, errands, work, etc. Hurry, you KNOW GOOD STUFF from Walmart sells out fast!

Welcome to dress 👗 season!
(My favorite season of the year!)
Fair warning… my feed is about to be flooded with dresses, and this one is kicking things off in the prettiest way.
⬇️

This dress is a beauty! (And it’s 36% off right now!) The sweetheart neckline is so pretty, the smocked back makes it comfortable and easy to wear, and the tiered skirt has the most beautiful movement. It works just as well with heels as it does with simple sandals… and yes, it has pockets.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKootd #LTKSaleAlert

This striped dress is one of those easy throw-on-and-go pieces that still feels pulled together. The smocked bodice is so flattering, the flutter sleeves add the sweetest touch, and the colors are just made for vacation. And these clear strap block heels? They go with everything in your closet and instantly elevate the whole look.

And don’t miss the special guest appearance at the end of the reel… and popping up in my Stories all throughout this cruise. Bob is such an amazing guy!

These white pants are everything I want in a summer staple: polished, flattering, and incredibly comfortable. The 4-way stretch fabric and built-in smoothing panel give you that confident, pulled-together feel, while the tailored details like the zipper, button closure, and sleek pockets elevate the look. They strike that perfect balance of easy and elevated, so you always feel put together without even trying.

If you’re packing for a cruise soon, this is what I’m telling all my girlfriends to bring.
🚢 🧳
These are the kinds of little things that make your cabin feel more organized, your outfits come together easier, and your days run smoother from start to finish.

Nothing overcomplicated. Just smart, practical pieces that truly make a difference.

The kind of shoes that make you rethink your entire outfit (in the best way).

And just like that… these shoes became the plan. 😏
These @donaldpliner Gizelle wedges walked in and said, “We’re the plan today,” and honestly… I agreed! 😂They’re cute, comfortable, and that little platform gives just the right lift without any wobble (we love that for us). Daytime, dinner, running around… they’re doing it all.

So yes, I built the outfit around them… starting with these high-waisted ankle pants that hold everything in right where you want it (bless🙌🏻), and adding this jacket that looks like a splurge but is actually such a good affordable find.
🤎
Moral of the story: when the shoes are this good, you don’t overthink it… you just say yes!
