Recently, Deborah and I were chatting about our favorite purchases of 2011 and how she had fallen in love with wearing a knit dress! “They are so comfortable, I have started collecting them and now have a few of them in my closet!”
So today we have another How To style video to help you take a knit dress and accessorize it up or down with just a few “tweaks”!
Here is Deborah in her favorite knit dress with some black opaque hose and simple black pumps.
Depending on the weight of the knit, you can wear them in most climates. Deborah lives in Toronto where it can get really chilly so of course they work there. I’m traveling around the US in a motorcoach and have been staying in the warm climates but have still had a chance to bring out my knit dress, especially when a cold snap hits!
JoJami dressed down her white knit dress with a long colorful sweater and casual stretch belt.
Trying to dress comfortable when we are over 40 can certainly be a challenge. We feel that this can be the answer to “How can I be comfortable, but still look updated and chic?”
Why not get that knit dress out of the back of your closet or if you don’t have one go out and try one on!
One note, you will want to wear shape wear underneath to smooth out any bumps or lumps that many of us over 40 gals have!
I love knit dresses. You just throw them on, they’re super cozy, and they really look wow. The first one I bought was in 2010- a Diane Von Furstenberg knit Wrap Dress in a geometric print. It has gotten me lots of compliments.
This fall I picked up a Tory Burch knit cardigan style dress that I’ve worn everywhere from in front of my computer, to shopping, to out to lunch with friends.
My favorite find of 2011 has been this hot purple Milli dress that my husband actually spotted and went crazy for me to buy. I love the color and the aysymetrical hemline. It’s got a nice swingy feel to it and is very feminine.
Now, if that wasn’t enough, I just bought myself this darling Leopard print knit dress. I can’t resist animal prints and the waist has some elastic to it, so it gives me a great shape.
Here’s the recipe for what to wear with a knit dress: take a knit dress + black tights + boots, booties or platform heels+ a great belt + some jewelry and you’ve got an easy, but sensationally stylish look that is super comfy too!
Running out the door and wanting to look casual and pulled together, couldn’t be easier if you try adding some fun tights to your wardrobe!
take a simple solid color skirt and top and spice it up with some textured hose
turn a boring black dress into a conversation piece by adding a pop of colored tights.
Tired of wearing pants? Try layering your dress, sweater and skirt and adding some boots and leggings!
We recently discovered the Sculptz brand which are made of comfy fabric and have light compression, so they hold you in without feeling like you are being squeezed like a sausage!

Here’s another gal we spotted at the mall.>> Luisa Aceto from Mississauga, Ontario was taking a break from her sales job at Holt Renfrew when we nabbed her for a quick photo shoot and asked her to share her fashion tips for looking so FAB with a short haircut!
Glam Gals: Luisa everything you have on is just chic and fashionable what is your secret?
Luisa: I love to mix up brands and have some fun with my wardrobe. I do love designer brands, I must admit but I know that they will always look classy and are well made. I’m hard on my clothes and need them to last!
Glam Gals: We just love your boots!
Luisa: Yes, they are so comfy, they are made by Pepe
Glam Gals: We can see your eye glasses are Dolce and Gabana, but what is that belt?
Luisa: Max Mara…one of my favorites!
Glam Gals: Yes, always timeless and classic! How about your accessories?
Luisa; My bracelet is Hermes and the rings are John Hardy
Thanks Luisa.. you are Age-mazing™ and an inspiration to looking fabulous after 40!
If you read our post about what to wear Christmas shopping you saw that there were some pretty fashionable women out at the malls. We wish we could say the same for the fashions we saw in the store windows.
A dowdy holiday look
I think by now we all know that cutesy holiday sweaters are a frumpy no-no.
But last week we saw a few holiday party outfits that were even worse. Everyone is trying to be new, different and hip and sometimes retailers come out with the most gawdawful stuff!
Take a look……… One trend we noticed was the crisp shirt with a sparkly top over it. Can you really imagine wearing the dowdy look above – the long black skirt, stiff cotton shirt and baggy gold sweater? Dowdy!
<<How about this frumpy odd couple combo?
The green shirt with sparkly tank is at least more fitted, but is that really attractive? Just because it’s in fashion, don’t go there! Use some common sense if you want to look Fabulous after 40 this holiday season.
