Best Pieces of the Year!

What were my star pieces of 2025? Here are the items I wore often and loved every single time!

Quince’s Bella Wide Leg Stretch Jeans

These stretchy wide-jeans really are a hit! Shown here in the shade Grayed Out, I also have them in Seaside Blue and Twilight Blue Fray. They are comfortable, flattering, and for a $50 price tag, I label these the steal of the year!

Naot’s Sunset Sneaker

Sneakers were super chic this year, and these were my fav pair. I love the neutral color-blocking in luxe leather and suede. And of course they are super comfortable too!

NYDJ’s Pintuck Blouse

Honestly, I’m not a huge blouse fan, but this versatile style and pretty print is changing my mind. Sure, I expected to wear it for work, but I also wore it for date night and for a lunch out with the girls. Find a print that you love (this one is called Vivienne), and you will definitely wear it all the time!

Such yummy suede, such a stylish design, and such comfort for heels … it’s all wins with this bootie. Worth it!

Quince’s 100% Leather Biker Jacket

Such beautiful quality leather and such a modern classic style, I expect to have this jacket in my closet for many years to come.

Ready to be more intentional about your wardrobe in 2026? Looking forward to another year of fashion and fun with my readers in the new year!

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!
