Fun & Fashion,

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!

This is what I wore …

My Cordani Wendy sandals, my Quince wide-leg jeans, a navy tee, and this pretty Johnny Was kimono (out of stock, but I love this one & this one!) I was also wearing these fab statement earrings from Kendra Scott. And my favorite little straw bag (old, but here’s one I have my eye on).

Packing for The Pacific Northwest

July 1, 2025

Packing is a skill that I’ve gotten better and better at over time. I used to be a BIG over packer! And even so, I’d end up not having something that I needed. I’m happy to say that I’m SO much better now and maybe some of my tips will help you as well.

The hubby and I just got back from a fabulous trip to Washington State. Before I get into packing tips for the Pacific Northwest and this trip in particular, let me start with a list of general packing tips.
