Madewell The Oversize Straight Hem … curated on LTK

wardrobe_oxygen

I’m short and I’m busty and I’m not ashamed to add a safety pin between buttons to prevent gap or customize the neckline of my button front shirts. No need for gadgets, those pins from garment hang tags work beautifully. Just be sure to grab only the bottom layer of the top placket so it remains hidden. I’m linking to my favorite button front and button down shirts as a busty petite woman over 40 including this tux shirt from Madewell.

Easy breezy stretch linen in the most gorgeous red-orange color. The Universal Standard jumpsuit has an elasticized back and adjustable straps for easy on and off and a custom fit. And hello pockets! Add the Dawn tunic tied for shoulder and arm coverage and for chilly evenings. These Aerosoles heels are so comfortable and come in wide widths! Wearing XS in both pieces from Universal Standard; for reference I am 5’3” and have a standard bra underneath that is covered by the straps!

Universal Standard re-released their stretch linen! Size inclusive in misses and plus sizes 00-40 the collection is low wrinkle and high comfort dresses, pants, tops, shorts, and jumpsuits in gorgeous colors and prints. I’m wearing the Dawn tunic in XS and the joggers in S (yes they have pockets!)

#LTKover40 #LTKplussize #LTKmidsize

All the clothes are Universal Standard; the t-shirt is a S, the blazer an XS, the jeans a 12. The loafers are Vionic and so not to see socks, I actually put an ankle sock over the removable insole for a true sock footbed! Amazon earrings, the rest are old.

Western trend but make it work friendly. This Levi’s western shirt is soft Tencel so it drapes over curves. I love these Maxwell pants; I’m a 14 petite in them and now own three pairs (and two pairs in linen!). They’re in regular, petite, and plus sizes. The cuff is very old but I linked to similar.

The must have travel raincoat. Stylish, flattering, great size range, and pockets from Talbots #mytalbots #modernclassicstyle #talbots #talbotspartner

#LTKmidsize #LTKover40

On the go feeling chic and comfortable in pieces from @talbotsofficial New Arrivals. I loved this bag when sightseeing; it held a water bottle, hat, snacks, purse essentials and even some purchases. This top is easy care and wrinkle free and looks more polished than a t-shirt. And these cargo joggers are lightweight and more refined than sweats perfect for travel. Top is L, pants are LP, bag strap is adjustable

#talbotspartner #talbots #mytalbots #modernclassicstyle

#LTKtravel #LTKover40 #LTKmidsize

The best raincoat for travel with a longer back to keep you dry, packable hood, bungees at the waist to customize the fit, and lightweight enough to tuck in your bag. And it kept me dry in a downpour! Available from @talbotsofficial in Misses, Petite, and Plus Size; I went with XLP. And yes this green is just as gorgeous IRL! I linked to the jacket, pants, and top which are all from #Talbots

A rainy and gloomy day I tried to brighten with winter white overalls from Quince (XL) with a Universal Standard Breton stripe top (S). I tucked the hems into my waterproof boots for a different effect, put my hair in two braids and added my trusty North Face trucker cap. My commuter backpack is the large version and I highly recommend it.

#LTKfindsunder100 #LTKover40 #LTKsalealert

I needed a top layer and a big tote for the evening’s festivities. While neither are available now (I linked to similar) I believe in the power of a colored leather tote and a quirky denim jacket with an unexpected silhouette for being timeless wardrobe workhorses

#LTKover40 #LTKstyletip #LTKmidsize

One of the outfits from my recent spring vacation to New York City. It was cold and windy but sunny and I was happy to have these layers. Linked to similar or same. I am 5’3” and usually wear a size 14.

#LTKover40 #LTKmidsize #LTKtravel

Colorful linens bring me joy. 🌈 A few I own and admire

#LTKhome

I bought this luggage from Delsey in 2017 and it continues to perform and look great!

#LTKtravel

Travel style. The clothes are older but I linked to similar.

#LTKover40 #LTKmidsize #LTKtravel

Day 2 in NYC. Started off very cold and windy but warmed up a bit.
Glad to have layers! The coat is old but I linked to similar. This Talbots bag has a comfortable strap and big enough to hold water, gloves, hat, and some purchases. Top is L, pants 14P

#LTKover40 #LTKmidsize #LTKplussize

Long weekend in NYC; trying out the Quince suitcase and so far so good! And the Dagne Dover Dakota backpack in Large is the greatest backpack. It’s been all over the globe with me and still looks and performs like new!

#LTKtravel

Stripes elevate weekends; I linked to the shoes I put on when I left along with the rest of this outfit I wore running errands. The top, bag, and jacket ( or seen) are from Talbots; the jeans Old Navy

#LTKmidsize #LTKfindsunder100 #LTKover40

When those shoes would be better if they were just a little bit roomier… love these shoe stretchers; they have an attachment to also stretch height wise (great for boots!). Shoes are last year but I found some other fun wide width shoes!

#LTKstyletip #LTKshoecrush #LTKover40

Night out for this over-40 mom! I was going to a book signing at a popular hotel/restaurant/communal space/lounge and thought a colorful concept would be fitting. This Universal Standard sheer dress (XS) is over a Quince silk slip dress (XL). I bought myself this Staud chrome bag for my birthday in January. The Simon Miller earrings I got last year during a Shopbop sale and the magenta suede sandals from Vince Camuto are years old (I found a new in box pair on Poshmark and have them saved for when these kick the bucket!)

#LTKover40 #LTKplussize #LTKmidsize

The top is L from Talbots but sold out; I linked to other Breton striped tops I own. The Madewell Harlow pants are a favorite; I’m wearing size 14 petite. The Ann Taylor belt is size L/XL and elasticized in back. The Birkenstock sneakers are roomy but I took my usual size 8. The cardigan is an XS with Universal Standard which is like a 12/14.

#LTKplussize #LTKover40 #LTKmidsize

What I wore to the theater to see Book of Mormon. I had the boots from Naturalizer for a couple of years. The rest of the look is Ann Taylor new arrivals and the belt coordinated with the shoes perfectly!

#LTKmidsize #LTKover40 #LTKstyletip

Casual rainy day look: a tux shirt with barrel jeans and silver ballet flats. The hoops belonged to my mom but I found similar!

#LTKmidsize #LTKover40

What to wear for 24 hours in NYC? A striped tee, wide leg pants, super comfy and supportive shoes, and refined bags that hold a lot. And a cardigan! I added a scarf as a belt for polish

Date night 🥰 my look is Target (L top Xl bottom) his is Banana Republic

#LTKmidsize #LTKover40 #LTKmens

Date night on a day that felt like spring but had a slight chill when the sun went down. Wearing XL in the top L in the skirt. The bag and pashmina are old but I linked to similar.

#LTKmidsize #LTKplussize #LTKover40

AI better than my messy bedroom! This two piece set from Target looks expensive IRL. Sized up to XL for the top to have more stomach coverage and room for my large bust. I am a size 14 and went with the skirt in L. The shoes are new, the bag is very old but I linked to similar

The best stylish Mary Jane flats to elevate your style all spring long

#LTKshoecrush #LTKover40 #LTKfindsunder100

The hottest shoe trend for 2024 are silver mirror flats. Chrome Mary Jane flats, square toes, slingbacks and potted toe flats all look updated with a silver chrome finish. My favorites (I own #3)

#LTKshoecrush #LTKstyletip #LTKfindsunder100

The quickest way to update your closet with the hottest fashion trend and add glamour and shine is a pair of silver chrome mirror heels. Widths, walkable heels, and comfort with style in these picks!
