Meet the barrel-leg jean—a silhouette that’s modern, chic, and surprisingly wearable.

I styled it with a navy blazer, cozy knit, and heeled boots for a work-to-dinner look that feels both structured and soft. These jeans are great if you want something trend-forward but not over the top.

I LOVE this gorgeous woven Christmas tree collar with the scallop bottom! It’s such a classic look. I’m shopping early for my Christmas decor before it sells out.

These statement flats are as comfortable as they are chic👏🏻 they fit true to size and have the best padding insoles.

The Difference Between Getting Dressed and Being Styled

Most women over 40 don’t need more clothes — they need more strategy.

Because true style isn’t about keeping up.
It’s about curating down — choosing pieces that make you feel intentional, not overdone.

A well-cut jacket that sharpens your silhouette.
Loafers that ground your look in ease and confidence.
Jewelry that quietly says, “I know my style.”

These aren’t finishing touches — they’re the details that make your capsule wardrobe feel effortless and elevated.

Here’s how I build that polished, put-together look with pieces that actually work together:

An icon in every capsule wardrobe. This trench instantly elevates your outfit—whether you’re in jeans and a tee or headed to a meeting. Lightweight, polished, and seasonless.

Westing a size medium- I recommend sizing up one to be able to layer with thick sweaters in the colder months.

From errands to evening—this is real-life style that works.
This organic cotton sweater + black barrel jeans are my go-to fall foundation. Comfortable, clean, and versatile enough for every part of my day—morning meetings, mid-day errands, and a quick dinner with friends.

💡Styling tip: I kept the base neutral and added just enough polish with gold jewelry, a silk scarf, and my favorite sneakers. When I need to elevate the look? I swap the sneakers for these leopard-print flats — they instantly shift the vibe without starting over.

I love that this self tanner is free from sulfates, Parbin, dice, and synthetic fragrance! And it actually works.

Amazon finds I would re-buy:
This electric lighter is so beautiful as decor next to a candle, but is really helpful and practical. It makes such a great hostess gift or stocking stuffer this holiday season.

Skip the line and six dollar latte at Starbucks and make your own at home! I’ve had this milk froth or for the past six years and use it all the time I love making steamers and lattes with it. A French press in my opinion is the best tasting fresh coffee you’ll ever have!

A weighted vest walk is one of my favorite ways to get in steps. Get an extra calorie burn get some vitamin D and really get energized for a busy day. I’ve been using a weighted vest for the past year and a half in is truly been a game changer for my core strength, my leg, and Gluth strength Plus I love the added challenge. You wanna start at a weight that’s about 10% your current body weight.👍🏻
