The other day I had a fun lady lunch at Copita in Willow Glen in San Jose. Although I’m mostly more of a neutrals girlie, I find myself attracted to brighter clothes when winter is coming to an end and spring is just around the corner. That and … I might be guilty of matching my look to the location … lol. Anyone else? A brightly decorated Mexican restaurant called out for me to shop my closet for something with a colorful flair!
It’s always nice to reach into your closet and come up with a combination of pieces that you’ve never worn together before. As I try to be a more intentional consumer, I’m finding that I don’t always need a new piece to get a new look. This classic hot pink wool coat has been in my closet for a couple of years and it’s still available. I love it paired here with an orange turtleneck, some wide-leg jeans, and green booties. I also pulled out an older Marc Jacobs tote that I haven’t used in awhile. Everything I’m wearing has been in my closet for awhile, but it feels fresh here to me in this new combination.
By the way, Copita was delicious. I suggest the chips and salsa (the salsa is especially yummy) and the chicken mole enchiladas!
In case you missed it, the biggest news of my life lately is this fun post!
And coming up soon, some fabulous spring/summer footwear from Jambu!
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!
