If youā€™re looking for affordable, modest swimsuits, Iā€™ve got you! Iā€™m wearing a small in all 3 and am happy to report the torso length works for me! The blue one has ties to keep the skirt from floating up in the water! #LTKOver40 #LTKSwim #LTKTall
I didnā€™t expect to love this bathing suit. BUT I DO! The stitching detail really makes the suit. It adds a cute femine flair while still being modest. It has non-removable pads, which I love because they wonā€™t be moving around. I typically wear a small or mediumā€¦went with the medium (6-8) for length and length is great. I could maybe get away with a small too, but medium is just fine! #ad #giftedcollab #LTKSwim #LTKOver40 #LTKTall
(Post contains gifted products) AMAZON Swimsuit try-on and fit review, wearing a medium in both! šŸ©± First up, the black set - the suit does have adjustable straps and lightly padded cups. It will work, but itā€™s *almost too short in the torso. The coverup skirt adds such an elegant touch! šŸ’› The pink/green set - this one does not have adjustable straps, but does have the lightly padded cups. Itā€™s a little shorter in the torso than the black. Itā€™s so cute, Iā€™m going to wear it anyway. The ruffle detail on the suit and the coverup skirt makes it sooo fun! You could definitely wear this to dinner at a beach resort! Iā€™ll link both!

Casual Monday night date at the pizza place, so kept it simple with the summer dress with the built in bra. I absolutely LOVE this dress. Iā€™m wearing a small and am a 34C. And also canā€™t forget my cardigan Iā€™ve been carrying everywhere with me! #LTKOver40
I was gifted this black tank by the brand a couple of weeks ago and I said I was going to buy it in multiple colors - and I did! This tank is such a great staple at its price - itā€™s comfy, there are lots of color options, and itā€™s stretchy. The only bad thing Iā€™ve noticed is the black picks up everything, so I have to lint roll it some. Iā€™m wearing a medium (6-8) and do recommend going up a size from whatever you normally wear.
(Post contains gifted product) I put this cardigan on and it was an immediate favorite. Itā€™s chunky and cozy and the color is so versatile - it comes in other colors too though! Itā€™s perfect for chilly nights, cold restaurants, and will be so pretty for fall. I did size up to a medium for a more relaxed fit and itā€™s great. Iā€™m wearing a medium in the black tank also.

Hubby and I went to dueling pianos at the country club last night and had lots of fun! I had planned to go with a dressier look, but then decided I just really wanted to be comfortable since we were going to be there a while. I wore my Pistola jeans, thrifted top, and my fun multicolored clutch.

Todayā€™s travel outfit brought to you by Amazon (top, medium), Beyond Yoga (my absolute favorite yoga pant, medium), Rothyā€™s on the feet, and an Eileen Fisher cardigan. #LTKOver40 #LTKootd
30 Days of Real Outfits | Day 28 Itā€™s a travel day, so of course I opted for my favorite 3pc black travel set! Itā€™s great year-round with a tank, stretch waist pants, and a long duster cardigan. Iā€™m wearing a small #LTKTravel #LTKootd #LTKOver40
I was gifted these two sets - hereā€™s my honest try-on and review from two Amazon brands. The black set is from Lillusory and has a flattering v-neck and the pants are super comfy. You can elevate the look with a chic pair of flats or go a little more sporty with sneakers. Iā€™m wearing a small, and possibly could size down. The almond set is from Trendy Queen and itā€™s so comfy! Iā€™m really loving the wide leg pants with pockets. Iā€™m wearing a small in this set and would stick with that size. Both of these would be great for travel! #LTKActive #LTKmomlife #LTKOver40
