Comeback season is that moment when you’re done hiding in mom clothes and are ready to have fun getting dressed again. It can start with something as simple as a pleated skirt and your favorite flats on a Saturday. 🙌🏻

Wearing a small in the top and a large in the skort 💛

One of my most worn Amazon purchases is this top! I’ve worn it over and over and if anything happens to it, I would buy it again immediately.

This bag has been great too! I haven’t had it for as long as the top, but it’s already getting a lot of use. It’s a great alternative for The Row bag that looks very similar.

Manifesting a beach house one linen dress at a time!

This is a Martha Stewart dress I found at Marshall’s last year and I’ve loved it ever since. Linen, soft, a little sheer - so I have my biker shorts underneath.

For date night, I added a belt to give it a little more structure and swapped sandals for wedges. During the day though? Unbelted with my favorite Amazon sandals is how you’ll find me.

The bag is from @tello and rose - she used to sell them but I don’t think she does anymore.

Linking some similar options for you!

It’s SINGO Tuesday - our weekly music bingo night at the country club that we never miss. 🎵

Wanted to wear this linen nap dress but it’s sheer, so @underoutfit biker shorts to the rescue! Threw on my denim jacket and boots because we’re back down into the 60s tonight.

Every Tuesday, I’ll be sharing what I’m wearing to SINGO - I’d love for you to follow along! 💛

The dress is an older Hill House, but I’ll tag some recent nap dress options!

Have you been to buy flowers yet this spring?! 😬

We spent our Sunday outside planting and cleaning up the garden areas - and wow was I amazed at how much the trip to Home Depot was! That reclaimed window greenhouse I’ve been dreaming of may be an easier sell now!

Not every outfit needs to be a moment, some are just easy and comfortable and that’s okay!

Every now and then, I think it’s fun to challenge myself to put together an outfit that’s not my usual look. A couple of weeks ago, we had a chilly night, and I did just that. This is a more masculine style than I usually go for, but I liked it!

#LTKOver40

I can’t tell you how much I love this dress! It’s perfect for spring and summer and it’s not see through! It can be worn on the shoulder or off, and yes, it has pockets! 🙌🏻 I’m wearing a small. The tie at the top of the chest is decorative only, but the one at the waist is functional.

I paired it with some of my favorite Amazon finds - the gold watch, the bag, and the sandals are all Amazon!

A little bit boho, a lot feminine, and easy. 💛

A simple Sunday dinner outfit 🩷

Wearing my new favorite midi set to dinner at the country club tonight. Also, loving this leather bag from Amazon!

Bag is the medium size, and I’m wearing a small in the midi set

Three Pinspark pieces, three vibes.

The sports bra has removable pads and a flattering fit - cute enough to wear under the blazer too.

The khaki skort has two pockets in the shorts and a high waist that holds everything in. 🙌🏻

The tank is buttery soft, UPF50+, with a pleat detail in the back.

Wearing a small in all. 5’8” | 135lbs | 34C

Polished lazy is my love language.
It’s just taking a simple outfit and adding something that elevates it. For this outfit, it was just an easy pair of white jeans, a black tank, an oversized Polo oxford - then elevated with the comfy heels, the belt, and the bag.

Two sets that look high maintenance but cost less than dinner out.

The midi skirt set (dark beige) hits me mid-calf and has a back slit and pockets - wearing a small and it’s perfect. Works great for date night and would be great for travel too!

The skirt set (light blue) has built-in shorts with pockets - wearing a small in this too. This set works for a lunch, sports, or even date night.

Both sets are sooo soft and remind me a lot of the Spanx sets. These are the perfect option if you want to look put together, but still feel really comfortable.

The shape lifting cami that I swear by! I love this thing under blazers, under shirts, it’s even cute by itself!

I’m wearing a medium!

#LTKOver40

If you’ve been living in athleisure for the last few years (no judgment, because I used to too), but your comeback season is calling - it can start with something as simple as a great pair of jeans, a striped tee, and a scarf. It doesn’t have to be anything expensive - my top, scarf, and bag are all from Amazon.

Wearing a small in the top!

#over40style #yourcomebackseason #findyourstyle

I’m loving this denim vest so much that you’re probably going to get tired of seeing it on me this spring and summer. Sorry!

I’m wearing a small in the vest, a small in both skirts, and a 6 in the white jeans

AMAZON Swimsuit try-on and fit review, wearing a medium in both! 🩱

First up, the black set - the suit does have adjustable straps and lightly padded cups. It will work, but it’s *almost too short in the torso. The coverup skirt adds such an elegant touch! 💛

The pink/green set - this one does not have adjustable straps, but does have the lightly padded cups. It’s a little shorter in the torso than the black. It’s so cute, I’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!

I’ll link both!

If you need me, I’ll just be sitting here waiting on these peonies to bloom.

Do you have flowers you’re anxiously awaiting? 🌼

Time again to rate the books I read this month using facial expressions! 😃 ☹️ 🥵

📕 We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
📕 The True Love Experiment by Christina Lauren
📕 Where the Rivers Merge by Mary Alice Monroe
📕 The Cheerleader by Marina Evans
📕 Bourbon & Secrets by Victoria Wilder
📕 What Happens on Vacation by Jo Watson

Save for reading inspo!

If your outfits have been feeling a little too practical lately, this is your sign to try one small shift.

You don’t need a whole new wardrobe…sometimes just a pop (or two in this case) is enough to wake the whole outfit up.

{mom style, get dressed, classic style, style tips, pop of color, have fun with your clothes} #momstyletips #over40fashion

If pattern mixing scares you, start simple with a blue and white striped shirt and a leopard skirt. Keep the bag and shoes neutral and jewelry simple so they don’t compete with the patterns.

Skirt: thrifted
Bag: Amazon

When I want to look cute but refuse to make it complicated 💛

A long dress, a denim jacket, and cute shoes will save me every single time. Easy, comfortable, but still put together.

Hi, I’m Amy, a 44yo homeschool mom in Arkansas. If you’re into easy outfits with a little personality, you’re in the right place!

[easy outfits, over 40 fashion, spring style]

(Dress gifted by AUMORA)

I’m loving this easy Amazon dress that’s perfect for spring and summer! It’s lined, it’s stretchy, and it fits true to size.

So cute off the shoulder (but can be worn on the shoulder if you prefer), cute belted for a little more polished look, and would be adorable with a denim jacket.

When the top does the heavy lifting, no accessories required 🩷

Wearing a small in the top, runs true to size

I picked this set up last night and it’s so cute! I’m wearing a small in the top and a small in the shorts.

The shorts are lined, the top is not (but my bra isn’t visible through it). Shorts do have pockets and are a nice length. The ties on the shorts are functional, so you can cinch tighter if needed

Before you buy a new outfit, try this formula with what you probably already have in your closet:

a simple black dress
a belt
flats (leopard Birdies loafers for me)
one statement piece of jewelry (I chose a men’s Rolex watch)

It’s easy, chic, and the kind of outfit that’s easy to put together without overthinking.

Dress Gifted by Aumora.💕
This dress felt a little more Vegas than my actual life, so I added a blazer to make it feel more like me. Sometimes one grounding piece is all it takes to make an outfit go from “nah” to “mmmkay.”

I’m wearing a medium in the dress…if you’re between sizes, go up.

This dress is making me want to book a beach vacation immediately. 🌴

The color, the print, the fit…this one just feels like dinner at a resort somewhere warm, doesn’t it?

I styled it with wedges and a woven bag. Now it just needs the water.

Fit notes - it’s pretty long! I’m wearing with a wedge heel and it’s perfect with those. I’d say it runs true to size and it’s very stretchy.

Love it when something exceeds expectations!

I’m wearing a small in this cute Amazon dress. I would say it runs true to size.

Jeans and a pretty top may be basic, but I’ll be using that formula forever. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Are you a jeans-and-pretty-top person too?

Top: Amazon (wearing a small)
Jeans: Wit & Wisdom
Boots: Tahari
Bag/Belt/Watch: Amazonn

Finishing touch: pearls + twilly 💕
A tiny little trick that makes and outfit feel done, plus adds a little more detail.

Just take your twilly sized scarf and loop it through your pearls (I doubled mine up) for a half scarf/half necklace moment.

I’ll link some affordable scarf options!

#LTKOver40

Just going for a cute look that brings some cool girl vibes. ✌🏻

Started with a little cap sleeve tank I got on sale at Dillards recently, paired with jeans from Kancan and my suede heeled boots. Finished with a cream blazer from Stitch Fix.

#ootd #classicstyle #havefunwithyourclothes

I can’t believe how cold it is! It was so nice and now it’s freezing and soooo windy!

I’m going with this sweater because it was still out, and paired it with this silky skirt. I wasn’t sure about the boots, but I think they’ll do!

It’s Friday night and that means dinner at the (country) club (we are creatures of habit, I’m telling you).

It’s a bit warmer, so I pulled out one of my favorite spring/summer dresses I bought in Oxford, MS a couple of summers ago. I paired it with my go-to riding boots since it is, after all, still winter for a few more days.

Happy Friday!
