What to Buy at Mango Right Now!

October 31, 2022

I have a couple of pieces from Mango that I really love. I couldn’t help but notice so many chic modern basics on the site for fall right now and this week there is a sale for 30% off with code EXTRA30 when you spend over $220.

 

Here are my picks:

 

Also on the blog lately, my picks from Everlane’s fall offerings, fun fluffy sandals, and my favorite pieces from Ruti!

About the blog: Fashion Should Be Fun is me talking to you, other middle aged women like me who are over 40, but not over fashion.  We still want to look beautiful and stylish.  We still want to have fun with trends.  And we don’t need anyone giving us rules, because we’re all different. We all have our own shapes and bodies, parts we’d like to cover and parts we still don’t mind showing off a bit.  This is a place for me to share my love of fashion with you, style ideas, tips, trends, and inspiration. I know how liking the way we look can translate into confidence and energy. I know we have so much life left to live and so much adventure ahead of us. Let’s show the world you’re never too old to have fun and be fierce!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

October 11, 2022

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Chico’s sent me this fun pink track suit to wear and share with my readers as a reminder to “think pink.”  Breast cancer affects 264K people a year.  Remember that early detection could mean a better prognosis, so be sure to get your regular mammograms and do your self tests as well.

Both of these pieces from Chico’s Zenergy collection has an Ultraviolet Protection Factor of 50+ for superior protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

Modeling for Ruti

October 6, 2022

If you’ve been around here awhile, you might remember several of my Ruti outfits.  I LOVE this designer because her vision is that clothes must be cool, flattering, and practical. A closet full of cool, flattering, and practical pieces is my DREAM wardrobe!

Well, I got to model for Ruti recently and I was so excited!  Seriously, I wanted to take home almost every single outfit!

Side note:  What? Me, model?  At 56? And quite a few pounds over my … umm …. “fighting” weight!?   I really respect that Ruti wants her clothing to be seen on real women with relatable bodies!

This flowy luxe look was just dreamy!
