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!!

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

This trench is so cute with the gingham trim and it fit my 5'1" frame! I'm wearing an XS

Is it too early for Valentine’s outfits… or is January the perfect time to start? ❤️

This is my version of festive (even after the big holidays!) without going over the top — a red sweatshirt, jeans, and sneakers. Comfortable, easy, and still fun.

Bonus: this sweatshirt is from a store I don’t usually shop at, and I was pleasantly surprised. Sometimes you find cute things in unexpected places!!:)

Are you a "I'll do it myself" rather than wait on anyone else to help you kind of girl? 🙋🏼‍♀️

I am! Because when I want something done, I just do it rather than wait on anyone else to help! 🤣

So today I took down Christmas decorations, ornaments off the tree, tree to the dump and even went to target to get another bin to stay organized!

These super soft leggings and cute gingham puffer kept me warm and comfy as I did all the work!😊

Running errands for the holidays in a simple but cute outfit! Jeans and a sweater are my grab and go winter outfit formula!

Easy everyday outfit formula with a little holiday cheer!

Pair this cozy fair isle sweater with sparkly button detail with green velvet pants for an elevated casual look!

This sweater is very soft and the pants are low rise with a slight stretch! Just as comfy as jeans!! They are a slim straight fit.

I'm wearing an XS in sweater and 25 in pants! Pants did not need hemming on my 5'1" frame!!

#LTKootd #LTKHoliday #LTKPetite

This is one of those pieces I wear constantly. The gingham print and ruffle detail gift it youthful touches while still being perfect for any age!

I’m wearing a size 0 in this relaxed, comfortable style.

The fabric feels similar to a flannel shirt and works well for an easy throw on and go everyday look!

Great option for women over 40 and 50 looking for an easy, everyday outfit.

Morning in my life as a 51 year old trying hot Pilates for the first time with my son's girlfriend!!

Started off in the softest pjs ever with coffee and puppy snuggles! Then got dressed and went to hot Pilates!

So fun and felt so good!!

List of things I'm so glad I don’t have to do anymore as an empty nester mom with college age kids:

1. I don’t have to remember to move that dang elf on a shelf!!!
2. I don’t have to remember which wrapping paper is supposed to be Santa's and which is supposed to be mine
3. I don’t have to stay up late at night after kids go to bed to put together toys!

Don’t get me wrong, I miss when my kids were little! But there is also joy in them being adults!!

Who else is glad they don’t have to do these things? Comment and tell me below!!🙋🏼‍♀️🤣😊💕

How many times is too many times to go to @target in one week? Asking for a friend!!

I've been five times because I keep forgetting one thing! Ugh. Does this happen to you too?

It happens to me Every. Single. Time! Most of the time that text comes in right after I've checked out!!🤦🏼‍♀️😂

So a quick trip to @target turned into a trip to @loweshomeimprovement to get items to finish another empty nest project! Oh and yeah the bag broke haha!!
