When In Doubt, Dress Your Age

When In Doubt, Dress Your Age

We are in a culture of fashion turmoil right now. The images of what we should look like, what we should wear and how much it costs hits women like a brick daily. Coming from facebook. magazines, twitter, TV and anywhere we find media.

Just because Kim Kardashian is wearing a peplum top with a leather skirt, should you? Those of us that are in our mid-to-late- thirties are caught in the space between dressing too young or too old. Making the decisions to grab that hoodie or a pea coat really shouldn't be that hard.

I have a 12 yr old and she tells me if i am making a fashion faux-pas with my jeans or tops. I may feel young at heart, but my rear is telling a different story.

In a world of bling and sparkle, I am slowly moving away from my bling-butt jeans and sequined tops (ok I will still wear the tops on occasion). We do have choices out there for our age group ladies, sometimes we have to work hard to do so, but do not be afraid to try something on! Don't be married to a brand or a size, because i can guarantee that each brand is different and each size is too. Divorce those old ideas!

Comfortable can still be cool and functional, but take some time to figure that out. All hail the maxi skirts this spring, with flowy tops and beautiful jewelry! If someone told you maxi skirts are not comfortable, they are a liar and should not be trusted or a friend.

Also all hail the linen pant! Flexible, functional and so cute! Yes you can wear your flip flops or favorite flats with these perfect pants and pair it with anything from a tank to a light spring sweater in those corals and mints of spring.

Options abound, you just have to be open to finding it and TRYING it on!
