A crisp button-down paired with a pair of jeans will never let you down. For a more elevated look, I went with a full length, non-distressed pair of jeans and styled it with the striped button up. Since it’s still a bit chilly where I live, I decided to wear this half zip cashmere sweater over top. It’s something I can easily take off if I were to get warm.

I’m wearing a size 31 in these jeans in a 30 inch inseam, his size is a large in the button up (it runs large, I should have sized down to a medium), and a size large in the quarter zip sweater.

I’m wearing a medium in this @jcrew pink polo sweater. For a looser fit, I would have definitely sized up to a large. This sweater also comes in a gray and white trim combo.

100% yes on these jeans! They are Quince’s first hair of rigid denim. I sized up to a size 33 in the 26 inch inseam because there is zero stretch. I highly recommend if you are shaped like me with thicker thighs, booty, midsection, size up. If you are less curvy, stick with your true size or consider sizing down one.

#LTKMidsize #LTKOver40

Wearing an extra large in a sweatshirt. Reviews that it ran slightly small, which is why I sized up. I think the fit works perfectly for me. I’m wearing a size 32 in the jeans. Now that I have worn them a few times since I got them last week, they do slightly stretch out with where to do keep that in mind in terms of sizing. They are not too loose, even though they have stretched out lately. They remain very comfortable and incredibly soft. If you prefer your jeans to be on the tighter side, I recommend perhaps closing down one.

Yep is still running their friends and family sale with everything being 40% off. There are additional limited deals which include these jeans at 50% off plus an additional 10% off when purchasing through the gap app. Loft is also 50% off tops + $44 denim

I recently picked up this rugby sweatshirt. It is a cotton blend, but still very soft and comfortable. I ended up gabbing it in an xl because the reviews said it ran slightly small. I think the fit is perfect. Plenty of room in the arms, love that it has a cinched waistband so it doesn’t hang below the belly

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKootd #LTKMidsize

I’m wearing a large in the yellow loft top. Loft also offers the top in white with blue floral which fit the same as the yellow floral did. I’m wearing an xl in the white and it isn’t also offered in a red. I tried in the Madewell version and the large fit me perfectly

As someone who waits before jumping in any trend, I’m officially on board with this one. Personally, I find this trend to be less “trendy” because a “white poplin skirt” is classic and timeless.

I’ve tried many of these skirts before landing on this one. I highly recommend you do the same because not all white poplin skirts are made equally.

Based on my body shape and my must haves in a white skirt, I found this one to be most flattering. One of my biggest pet peeves, which sometimes is unavoidable, is the attached slip that goes only halfway down the skirts length. Over the years, I’ve stated wearing nude shaper shorts underneath my skirts to prevent chaffing between my thighs. For that reason, I reached for a white skirt that had a slightly thicker poplin material but without a slip. That allowed me to avoid that dreaded line in the middle of the skirt while maintaining maximum airflow without the double layer. I understand that this may not be everyone’s approach, but it works for me.

I found the skirt incredibly easy to style with cloths already in my closet. And to be quite honest, I could probably find a handful of other ways to wear it both casually and slightly elevated.

Not saying that you need one, but if you’ve been on the fence, take your time and find your version… the one you’ll actually reach for.

If you want to try this exact same skirt, I recommend sizing down one. I would typically wear a large in a skirt and I went with a medium, and it is still roomy. This one does have an elastic waistband, no liner, with pockets.

#whiteskirt #springoutfits

Styled my favorite barrel jeans @Spanx with five colorful spring tops. I’m wearing a size extra large petite in the jeans. I am 5’5” and typically wear a size 12/14 for reference. These jeans are some of the most comfortable pair I have. They’re stretchy but still have structure and smooth everything out.

#LTKMidsize #LTKOver40 #LTKSaleAlert

I first shared these jeans over this past weekend as I tried them on in the dressing room. I loved them in the dressing room and now that I am home I can confirm that I love them just as much as I did when I first tried them on. They are incredibly soft. The silhouette on them is perfect for my body shape. The length is also perfect where I can either wear a kitten heel or a flat sandal or flat Mary Jane’s with them. I’m wearing a size 32 and I feel like they run true to size. I’m 5‘5“ for a reference and typically wear between a 12 and 14 comfortably.

As for this blouse, you must wear a nude bra underneath. It will warn you that you can still ever so slightly see the nude if the material is pulled tight to your skin. However, since the material is very loose and blousy, I do not personally feel that it is an issue. This shirt does require some styling after putting it on. I highly recommend that you pull up the sleeves like I did here, and you have to tuck the shirt into your pants. When wearing this top, I recommend styling it with a bottom that is not flowy as well.

#LTKMidsize #LTKootd #LTKOver40

I went with a size 32 in the yellow cropped jeans and the traditional button fly zip jeans as well. The yellow jeans have a slight stretch to them whereas the traditional denim didn’t have as much stretched, but both were very, very soft in denim material. As for the jeans that add the elastic waistband and drawstring, I tried on a large and extra large. While the large fit great in the thighs and in the weight, I wanted more room in the media area. For that reason, I decided to try the extra large and it fit my tummy area exactly how I wanted it to. Even though the thighs and waste were looser, I was okay with it because of the drawstring. I went with a large in the pink sweatpants and large and the yellow top and a size 32 in the barrel jeans/chino pants.

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKMidsize #LTKOver40

Like it or leave it…

For me, it’s a heck yes, now… But I do get why this style of jean is one of the most controversial or triggering style! Every barrel jean is not made equally 🤣. I have been on that same ride of trying to get “into” the idea of a barrel jean, but no matter the pair I tried on, I looked ridiculous!

I finally realized that for my body shape, lower tummy pooch, thicker thighs, and 5’5, I needed a pair that fit my curvy body. I personally found that most barrel jeans (though had a curved leg silhouette), were made for women with less curves. So when a curvy woman tries them, the “barrel” is lost and it looks more like a sewing mishap instead of an intentional look. The legs look completely wrong! So naturally I try sizing up to only then be left with a giant gap in my rear 🥴! Let me know if this has been your experience!

Until now… I absolutely love this pair! I honestly wish they would make washes because I would buy them all up! One of my highest recommended for someone who is shaped similarly to me and struggles with the same areas on your body. These will make you feel amazing!

Last day to snag them on sale! ✨
I’m wearing an XL petite. ♥️

#LTKOver40 #LTKSpringSale #LTKMidsize

Kind of obsessed with this top! I did an online order a pick up in store because I have been loving these color block two tone polo sweatshirt/sweater combos. Unfortunately, this color combo is almost sold out, but I highly recommend you check your local stores because my store had almost every size available. I’m wearing those size large. I do feel like it runs slightly on the bigger side, however, I did not feel the need to sit down.

I linked several alternative options just like this that are currently in stock.

#LTKOver40 #LTKootd #LTKMidsize

I swear I’ve been wearing these jeans basically with every single top I own. They’re just not comfy that it’s what I reached for almost every single day. I am wearing a size medium in the white tank. The material is nice and thick and it’s also stretchy and in wearing it feels very comfortable on as well. I am wearing a size large in the pink mauve jacket. While the fit is slightly oversized, I preferred the way the arms looked in the large rather than the medium. It had more of the balloon puffer sleeve as I sized up which is the look I wanted to achieve. It does come in a different color, I believe a green and in denim as well. For the jeans, I am wearing an extra large petite. For reference, I am 5’5” and typically between a size 12 and 14. These jeans have stretch but structure at the same time.

Just a few outfits lately that genuinely made me feel good.

As a midsize woman in my 40s (size 12/14), those moments when you put something on and just feel comfortable, confident, and like yourself are everything.

None of these are one-time outfits. They’ve all been worn, repeated, and restyled… and I already know they’ll be in heavy rotation as the weather warms up.

Which one would you happily repeat?

#LTKOver40 #LTKSpringSale #LTKMidsize

I picked up the snake print sandals and the dark brown suede kitten heels. Last but kit least, I also grabbed the yellow tee. I saw that in store last week, but they were basically sold out of every size except XS and XL, and since it was in stock online and on sale, it was an easy yes.

The Dean Easy straight leg jean in the airy denim is the softest jean ever. If you’re in the market for a comfortable everyday jean, this one is a fantastic option

#LTKMidsize #LTKSaleAlert #LTKOver40

High recommendation on these sandals. I bought two pairs last summer and wore them everywhere. They run true to size for me. I will be picking up the snake print and the dark brown heel during the sale!

#LTKMidsize #LTKSaleAlert #LTKOver40

Tried this 100% cotton cardigan on in a size large. This one seems to run through the size. While this periwinkle blue is not available at the moment, there are several other colors that are beautiful as well. This one is full price right now so there is no rush just sharing so that you have an idea should you like it and want to snag it when it is on sale. Be sure to save this post and select to be notified when sales happen.

#LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize

Went in for an online in-store pick up and saw this periwinkle blue polo sweater on display. The color immediately caught my attention so I decided to try it on. I loved it on me as well so I definitely picked it up. It’s on sale for $18 today. I’m wearing it in a size is a medium. I think it runs like a generous.

#LTKMidsize #LTKSaleAlert #LTKOver40

Elevated classic casual style! I personally have the button up striped shirts and cable knit cardigan. I love wearing them individually, but also paired together. They make a great casual outfit, but you can also wear these pieces as workwear. I love the accessories to complete the luck.

#LTKOver40 #LTKootd #LTKMidsize

These ones came home with me! I had been eyeing them for a bit now and I was finally able to try them on in store. I bought a pair of sandals last summer with the same gold embellishment detail and they were incredibly comfortable. These are just as comfy out of the box. They run true to size

#LTKOver40 #LTKdayinmylife #LTKMidsize

These washed out black barrel jeans are incredibly comfortable with stretch yet with structure! I’m wearing a size XL petite and they fit beautifully. The top is one size and styles easily with many options. My sandals are back as well and run true to size. They were a best seller last year too. If you missed out last year, make sure you snag them before they’re gone.

Office outfit idea that I have been wearing all four seasons. Everything I’m wearing (in my opinion) are classic and timeless pieces.

I’ve had the cardigan, striped button up, and skirt for over multiple years. I’ve truly enjoyed each piece and have gotten a ton of use out of them worn together and styled with other favorite in my closet.

The cardigan, shirt, shoes, and jewelry are all available. However, the skirts is no longer in stock. I did link up several alternative options if needed, but remember this outfit is inspiration. You can re-create a very similar outfit with items that probably already exist in your closet.

#LTKMidsize #LTKOver40 #LTKWorkwear

Spring outfit idea! A classic button up paired with perfect skirt! Wearing a large in the top.

#LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize #LTKootd

Calling all curvy ladies! The skirt is for you! I have re-purchased this skirt several times now in various colors and prints because I love the way that it fits, the way that it looks and the way it makes me feel when I wear it. From the elastic waistband to the cascading plating, the skirt is simply the most flattering on especially if you are self-conscious about any tummy peeking through I wear the skirt in a size large. The waistband does not dig in and fits comfortably. The skirt is also wind, allowing the top layer to be share without Annie transparency the length is a perfect mini length for me. For reference I am 5’5”.

Specific color would be perfect for spring and summer, including Easter.

I’ve wanted this white linen dress for three years now. I first saw this silhouette at J.Crew and then I saw Quince and Madewell also releasing the same silhouette. Finally this weekend I got to try on the Athleta and I was immediately sold. Now, if you are not as curvy as me, this dress may overwhelm your body shape however, if you are similarly shape as me, I think you will love it. I had plenty of room in the tummy, hips, bum, and legs without having an exact amount of fabric in the bus and arms.

I am wearing a large in this dress, I may have been able to get away with a medium, however, when I am wearing this type of linen dress, it is usually during the hottest part of the summer, and I much prefer having excess fabric than having a dress be too tight.

The dress also is fully lined and has pockets one of the details that I love about this dress over the others is that the back of the dress is a scoopneck with a button closure. Please note that you do not need to undo the button at all to put the dress on. You can simply flip the dress over your head to put it on. Super easy on and off access. The button is there to just for detail.

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize

Easily one of my favorite outfits as of lately. Honestly, from a woman who has more jeans than she really needs. I’m surprised at how much I reached for these wide legged jeans from @onequince They are incredibly comfortable and stretchy without accentuating my tummy. I paired it with one of my go to basic white T-shirt from @Aritzia (the quality is amazing by the way and highly recommend) with the very classic yet still trendy quarters up. I felt comfortable all day wearing this outfit without compromising style.

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKOver40

Calling all women who love a good midi skirt!!! You know my love for @jcrew skirts! I’m such a fan, I basically wear them all spring and summer long! Well, I found the skirt I’ll be wearing on repeat this year! It was an immediate yes for me and paired with their classic rollback for spring, I couldn’t say so!

Sizing details!!
Size down on the skirt for sure! I went with a medium and it still fit loose. The waistband is elastic making it incredibly comfortable! It has pockets and this one is pirate friendly! Oh and it has pockets!

The rollback sweater does run big, but I stayed with my true size large because I want a baggy fit. Absolutely love the color!

#LTKMidsize #LTKOver40 #LTKootd

Wearing a size large @onequince ribbed knit cardigan in the same pale custard yellow.

This one comes in multiple colors as well. I feel like this one fits true to size. I do not have any gapping in between the buttons on this one.

#LTKMidsize #LTKootd #LTKgrwm

Wearing a size large in this @onequince skirt, I feel that it fits true to size and the length is slightly shorter than the Poplin skirt so if you are petite, this is going to fit you much better.

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize

Wearing a size large in the pale, yellow custard cardigan, the fit is slightly loose, but just perfect for me.

#LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize #LTKootd

A sunnier, milder winter has me dressing like spring is already knocking… and honestly, I am embracing it!

These @onequince cashmere sweaters are my go-to right now: light enough for warmer days, substantial enough for layering, and easy to style with denim or light skirts. The color palette alone makes everything feel fresher.

If you’re a midsize woman (12/14) Ready to shift your wardrobe gently into spring, these are the kind of pieces that actually earn their place in your closet.

Here are the details of what I tried!

Mongolian Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater
Wearing a size large. Fits true size.

Mongolian Cashmere Fisherman Quarter Zip Sweater
Wearing a size large. Runs slightly big.

100% Organic Cotton Poplin Long Sleeve Boyfriend Shirt
Wearing a size large. Could have size down to a medium, runs big.

These are the pieces I reached for when winter starts loosening its grip, but spring isn’t fully here yet.

Lightweight and mid-weight @onequince cashmere, sweaters that layer beautifully, work with denim and skirts, and make getting dressed, feel easier during the transition. The softer colors help everything feel lighter without being too spring-forward.

Great options if you’re a size 12/14 and want outfits that carry you from now into the next season without overthinking it.

I ordered this in a size medium, and it fits perfectly for me. For reference, I am 5‘5“ and typically a medium or large in tops and between a 12 and 14 in the bottom I bought this sweater originally last fall in a gorgeous chocolate brown and fell in love with it so when they released these new colors, I knew I wanted to get another one, but in a different size since the first one was slightly big on me. When these first came out last fall, they sold out very quickly and it looks like some of the colors now are also selling out, though if you have any inkling about wanting it, I suggest moving quickly.

#LTKstorytime #LTKMidsize #LTKOver40

I’m wearing an XL in both the top and bottom. I went with the regular inseam on this one and it works with platform sneakers. The next set, I’m going to try out the petite. I’m 5’5 for reference and between a size 12/14.
