Sustainable, Ethical Brand: Lintico!

November 21, 2025

I’m always looking for sustainable, eco-friendly and ethical brands to support, so I was very happy when Lintico reached out to collaborate with me!

It’s cozy season, which is my very favorite season, and the perfect time to try the CozyCore collection from Lintico. Made with soft and breathable natural fabrics, Cozycore pieces keep you comfortable and warm. Lintico makes wardrobe pieces that are timeless and seasonless, so every purchase will be an exceptional value.

Seasalt Cornwall Chapelle Dress

January 2, 2025

Every teacher is always keeping an eye out for the perfect teacher dress! What is a perfect teacher dress? It’s a dress that is comfortable and versatile and makes you feel confident, but is very un-fussy. Machine-washable is a must. Extra credit for sustainability! For my body shape, age, and personal preference, my perfect teacher dress is midi length, 3/4 length sleeves, a V neck is great IF it’s not too low cut and doesn’t gap open (this one doesn’t). This Chapelle Dress from Seasalt Cornwall ticks ALL my boxes and it’s on major sale right now too!

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!

Boho Vibe with High-Waist Wide-Leg Jeans

August 11, 2022

This week I’m immersed in my back-to-school teacher life, but last week I was enjoying my last week of freedom with some quality girl time with Cathy of Bay Area Fashionista and this is what I wore.

High-waisted wide-leg jeans are so in right now that I wanted to try styling mine in a new way. These are The Baggy Jean from Everlane, but I decided to crop them to an ankle length myself, which of course is really easy these days with the raw edge trend.
