The Fab 40s: Borrowed from the Boys

October 25, 2021 /

The Fab 40’s is a group of five fashion bloggers from around the globe. Each month we choose a different theme and invite a guest blogger who is also in their 40’s to join us. This group’s goal is to take on style trends and show how we each interpret and incorporate them into our own lives. With four widely varied views, you are certain to find something that speaks to you each month and encourages you to continue to have fun with fashion after the age of 40.

The Bloggers

For this post, I decided to borrow my husband’s denim shirt as I surprisingly do not have one. I like the thickness of it and how the back is longer than the front. The length works on me as a tunic and I liked how I could play with the oversized style.

I had thought about wearing one of my pairs of combat boot with this but I quickly realized that my cowboy boots would pair well with the shirt. My son and I finally went to the park/trail nearby to take pictures by the trees. I love these large trees and I sometimes bring the boys here for a picnic.

It’s always a challenge to take pictures when it is sunny, you do not want to have pictures that are too bright or too dark. This was a really nice spot and I was glad we were able to take some decent pictures. The sitting pictures are the only pictures that shows my gold bracelet: I really like the statement this bracelet makes and it is a fun contrast with the casual style of the outfit.

I only have two pairs of leggings that are not workout leggings. My zella high waisted black leggings and this pair of hue white leggings. I typically wear this pair in warmer months since they are capri length but they work well with boots in cooler months.

I wore these boots last in this post for a summer outfit. The lighter color makes them versatile. Cowboy boots are the  one type of shoe that I probably would thrift. Real cowboy boots are expensive (as mine were) and I would not pay full price for another pair. I also do not wear them often enough to justify paying for another pair of non used ones.

Here is a little close up of my earrings. These were a gift from my husband quite a few years ago and like the bracelet make a nice statement and dress up a look.

This is probably not my most creative look but it is a look that I would wear on date or outing with my husband. I originally thought about adding a belt but I liked the length without it.

And now for the ladies!
