If you don’t want to think about what to wear this week, I've got you!

The perfect comfy and cute outfits to wear for petite women over 40:
1. A colorful summer dress! This yellow eyelet is perfect to throw on and go!
2. Anything white! White is the color of summer so white dress, white set, or a white romper like this one!
3. A maxi skirt and tank! Bonus points if it's elastic waist and a fun pattern!!
4. Elastic waist shorts that feel like pjs and a tee! I've had these on for days because they are so comfy!
5. A summer shorts set! This is the easiest thing to put on without any thought which I love!!
6. A graphic tee and denim shorts especially if the tee has a summer theme graphic!

To finish all these looks, add a stack of bracelets and necklaces and you are ready for the day!

Tell me which one of these you'll wear this week! And comment week if you want the links to shop!

The easiest look-put-together but still so comfy outfit is elastic waist shorts and a summer sweater!

Two new dresses I found that instantly make me feel pretty and will do the same for you!!

You know the kind…the ones you put on and immediately feel more feminine, more confident, and a little more put together without even trying.

The best part? These are the kind of dresses that work for basically every summer occasion… brunch, vacation, baby showers, date nights, graduation parties, church, weddings, girls’ night, or even just because you felt like wearing something pretty.

Summer calendar = covered ✔️ and they are both under $100!!

Which one are you choosing: Dress 1 or Dress 2?

Stop thinking a matching set is your only comfortable airport option. And wear this instead!

I get it…sets are easy! And I do love a good matching set! But it's not the only comfortable option!

These pants are honestly just as comfy as sweats or a set but elevated!

You don’t have to dress like everyone else to be comfortable.

Are you team matching set or team mix it up? ✈️👇

And layering because the temperatures change so much this time of year!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

Let's be honest...working from home makes it really easy to stay in sweats (or Jammies bc I've definitely done that!) all day.

But I've learned this👇
Getting dressed changes how I show up even if I'm the only one that sees me all day!😊

I'm 51, petite and running my photography business from home!

Will you try this double knot trick instead of just tying a basic knot? Let me know!

Spring is all about having fun with fashion! I love color and pattern! These pants are so cute and so comfy!! They can be worn with so many different things but I love the combination of yellow and blue!!

#LTKSeasonal #LTKOver40 #LTKPetite

Should women over 50 wear shorts?

Absolutely!!

But here's the real conversation - it's not about age. It's about the cut, the length, the fabric and how you style them.

At 51, I'm dressing the way I want with intention and not letting age dictate what I wear. And you shouldn't either.

When they are as cute as these two options, they are a non-negotiable!!

Another so called vital item and this time its denim shorts! They supposedly "look like a higher end" which I happen to own! So let's put them to the test!

Target vs Citizens!

Here's my honest review:
I love my Citizens because they are so soft, so comfy and some of my favorite denim shorts! So I'm also going to favor these!

But if you are looking for a more structured, higher waist, darker wash for less than $30, the Target pair are a good option for the price.

Which ones are you choosing? Comment shorts and I'll send you the links worth buying!

Simple casual outfit of the day! Pink sweater paired with the best white tee, jeans and sneakers!

Jeans are mother and I'm wearing a size 25. They have a little bit of stretch in them - just the right amount! I did get the petite size so the length is perfect! I'm 5'1"

Sneakers are very comfy and I love my new necklace for a pop of red!

Sneakers do run small! I'm in a 6 but prob could have gone up to a 7! Typically I wear a 5.5 but these don't come in half sizes!

#LTKootd #LTKOver40 #LTKValentine

These are the perfect worn vintage inspired jeans and they work for my 5'1" frame!

These are the low sling relaxed fit straight leg button ruby citizens of humanity!

Wearing a size 24. They run big so size down. I'm typically a 25

Scarf bandana is Kujten and sweater is Zara
