Fashion
It can be so subjective can it not?
Is this in? Is this out? Are my skirts too long? Too short? Tights? Bare legs? Short boots? Tall boots? Over the knee boots? Am I my too fat for that? Too skinny? Too tall? Too short?
It leaves many of us too frustrated to even try. Stay safe. Stay with what you know. Nobody gets hurt.
Phooey.
You DO know your body. You DO know what makes you look good. And more importantly, you know what makes you FEEL good.
Start there.
Next...look at the trends. Does anything appeal to you?
Fashion should be fun. Not frustrating.
For instance. Knit beanie caps are a hot item for this winter. What a fun item to play with. Affordable. Practical. And truly awesome for all hairstyles.
Actually, today I'm wearing a sleeveless turtleneck dress. I added over the knee boots…another big item for this year. And a denim jacket for contrast (and warmth). Easy.
What about trying a fun, trendy coat for this winter. Statement coats are all the rage. Not to mention, a fun way to break out of a rut!
Okay, here is a funny easy one. Do you have a favorite color? Besides brown, black or gray? Now...go buy yourself a handbag in that color. You don't have to spend a fortune! Go to Target. TJ Maxx. Marshall's.
Don't be afraid to try SOMETHING. Maybe it never leaves the dressing room. Maybe it gets sent back right away.
But at least you tried.
Often the older we get, we forget how to be fashionable ourselves. We think it's for our kids, or other "youngsters". No. No. No.
Even though most days don't require high fashion. Make the effort. So what if it's just jeans and a sweater. Grab that cute handbag. Throw on that beanie. You will feel so much better about you.

I hate winter because I can't stand things rubbing my arms - even lightweight clothing. Which is why I like that I live in Texas. I own only two long sleeve shirts and often a light jacket or cardigan is all I need.
ReplyDeleteFor the truly cold days, I have a wool peacoat. In bright turquoise. The color always cheers me up and makes up for the fact that I have to have something on my arms.
I love your advice to try something. I hate pink and orange but there is one particular orangey-pink that looks good on me. I tried it only because I liked the style of a shirt and the only one in my size was that color. I tried it anyway to see if the style would look good. The style didn't, but the color did! I would never have known if I hadn't tried it!
