There is just something so fun about putting on a cute outfit and going out for a fancy coffee with a friend. The polka dot dress I’m wearing is from last year and long gone in stores, but here are a few of my favorites available right now:

 

I wore the dress with some black heeled sandals, a pearl accent chain necklace, and carried my leather bucket bag.

Lynn is wearing a cute black summer dress, with black sandals, and a chic brown belt.

Do you love dressing cute and having coffee with friends? Do you have favorite cafes where you live? Let us know!

 

 

After our coffee, Lynn and I ham it up trying on dresses at Loft!

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!

Dot Dress Styled for Spring, Our Anniversary

March 28, 2024

To celebrate our 12 year anniversary, Shannon and I spent the day in Sausalito.  The weather was spring perfection and we really enjoyed walking around, checking out the swanky boats, pretty houses, and cute boutiques.  We ate lunch at the Barrel House which was yummy, with great service and beautiful views.

Polka Dot Dress – Winter to Spring

March 14, 2024

I love polka dots, especially for spring.  I got this adorable midi dress at Gap on sale right after the holidays and finally got around to wearing it.  Eventually it will be cute with sandals and denim jacket, but right now I styled it for winter weather.

Isn’t it cute for teaching?  True to size, nice material, and a price you can’t beat.  (I’m 5’7″ and wearing a Medium).

Favs Remix for Day to Night

September 14, 2021

There are some pieces in your wardrobe that just survive every closet edit … and this fall floral dress is one of those for me.  I decided to remix the dress with some new jewelry and even do a day to evening look. Here’s what I came up with …

 

 

I’m loving the mix of the floral dress with the menswear inspired plaid blazer.  I think it adds something new and interesting to the outfit.
