In my younger days, I thought basics were so boring! But as I age, I feel drawn to simple pieces, simple outfits, and even more simple beauty routines.
These are the key pieces that I’m living in these days. Sure, sometimes I jazz it up with a hero piece, but just as often, I go toward what feels more minimalist chic to me.
Whether you lean toward a minimalist aesthetic or are more of a maximum impact girlie, every wardrobe needs at least a foundation of great basics to function!
The Pieces
Kut from the Kloth Jeans – So stretchy and comfortable, modern silhouettes (Kelsey and Meg styles are my favorite).
Franco Sarto Waxton Boots – Wear all day comfortable (even for a teacher), I have them in black and brown. Added bonus: they look expensive.
Jones New York Blazer – Simple every-day blazer, notched collar and rolled sleeves.
Gap Favorite Tees – My favorite tees (no pun on the name) … I live in them, honestly, the perfect fit and perfect V-neck.
Oversized white linen button up – Great third piece for warmer weather
Dara chunky sandals – Jambu’s last season super stars. Can’t wait to see what they have for this year.
Converse sneakers – a classic that I always go back to no matter how many pairs of sneakers I have
Lucky Brand Utility Jacket – a casual third piece, army green
Classic designer bag – a nice leather bag makes me feel a little special and elevated, even in jeans and tee.
Also lately on the blog, a review of After Retail (with a discount code!) and a review of the Seasalt Cornwall’s Chapelle Dress.
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!
