Basic Cardigans for Fall/Winter

November 14, 2022

Cardigans aren’t usually hero pieces. They don’t catch our eye and let’s face it, they’re not too sexy!  BUT, I love cardigans and wear them ALL the time!  They are cozy, comfortable, and an easy way to layer.  I was looking for some wardrobe staple cardigans to put on my Santa list and thought you might enjoy taking a look as well.

Which do you like best?  I still haven’t sent Santa my pick yet because they are so many good ones available right now!

Also on the blog lately, a way to style a riding vest for fall, along with my top choices of boots for the season.

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!

Vested

November 10, 2022

When I picked out this Banana Republic Riding Vest, I pictured it with a turtleneck and wide leg jeans. Now that the weather is finally cooling off, here is the look.  It gives me Charlie’s Angels vibes for some reason!

Best of Nordstrom Booties!

November 7, 2022

One of my favorite things about fall and winter is wearing boots! Here’s a look at my top picks for this season’s hottest styles, available at Nordstrom right now!

 

 

 

See anything that you like? I’m probably not going to invest in new boots this fall. I still love (and am trying to break in) my Doc Marten’s Boots that I got for Christmas last year. And Jambu sent me this cozy pair as well! My chic friend Lynn bought and loves the Franco Sarto Waxton boot and the Vince Maggie boot! My stylish friend Rachel has been rocking the See by Chloe Mallory Combat Boot!  Love and recommend all of those choices!
