The exercise of creating new outfit for blog posts is great especially with pieces that may depart from your typical look or style. I bought this oversized vest back in April in Arizona and I have only worn it once or twice. I had the idea of creating a monochromatic look so the details of the vest would stand out. I wanted fitted pieces so the vest would be the star of the show and my lace Halftee is a great juxtaposition to the edginess of the vest. I plan to get a black lace Halftee soon, at the time of the writing of this post (mid July), my size…

How can you transition your outfit from summer to fall without just adding the usual denim or moto jacket? I thought I would show you how to put together a fall outfit using both summer and fall pieces. The fun thing about this outfit is that the key pieces are thrifted: the jeans, the top and the clutch were all thrift finds. Be sure to check all of the Ageless Style ladies outfits too for more inspiration! If you follow me on Instagram, you have seen these jeans a few times since I bought them in April in Arizona. I usually do not try jeans in thrift stores because the…

This is what 49 looks like! I usually do not post a fashion post on a Wednesday, but since my birthday falls on a Wednesday, I thought I would share an outfit in which I felt quite good! This dress was given to me by one of my running friend Patricia (whose running story I shared here) when she did a little closet decluttering this summer. She has a great sense of style, so I was very happy to receive some of the things she was not planning to wear anymore. I actually took these pictures at the beginning of summer after our trip to Europe as I had lost…

Do you remember my recent post where I featured a mustard skirt from Cato’s fashion? When I told my mom in law, I had come across a fun tulle skirt there, full price but affordable, she convinced me to return and try it on and buy it if it I liked how it looked. As you can tell by today’s blog post, it was a winner. I love the skirt and while I bought it thinking about the coming up holidays especially Christmas, I knew that the bright red would make it perfect year round. As soon as I brought it home, I went on Pinterest for some inspiration on…

Which colors come to mind when you think of fall colors? Rich hues come to my mind as well as darker colors such as olive or brown. There are some color combinations that I really enjoy and when I planned my outfits for our trip to the beach, I chose olive, burgundy and tan as my main colors. I thought they would be perfect for the season and a little different from what I packed last year. I shopped my closet for this look and I sure love it! These camo pants have been a favorite for fall for the past couple of years: the fit is on point and…

I will say I am guilty of packing cute outfits to the beach knowing that I will take a daily picture for a blog post. These are outfits I wore on our trip this past week, but some of them were only worn for half a day depending on our activity. When at the beach itself, I usually wear a bathing suit with my denim shorts over them or my cover up. Then when I return to the condo and we go on a little outing, I will change into an outfit that reflects what I like to wear on the daily. This was my traveling outfit: I only added…

After almost 2 months of refraining from buying clothes, I spent a week at the beginning of the month visiting 2 stores. I made a couple trips to TJmaxx (and only bought a sweatshirt) and several stops into Cato’s Fashion. I used to shop there often, but haven’t really much in the past few years, but it is always on my radar if I want to look for an article of clothing in a particular color. I was actually looking for things in burgundy or tan, but Cato’s often has some great things on clearance. I ended up going into the store 3 times in a 2 week span. The…
