Fashion Question, Is this brand too matronly?

Hi Glam Gals,

I wanted your opinion on those pant sets, jackets, tops, dresses  that you see on those shopping channels called CitiKnits.    city knit green

They say it travels well, doesn’t wrinkle and it’s a synthetic fiber.

I’m 45 and love fashion but I wonder if that look is a little old and dated with their matching sets.

Thanks L.

Hi L.

We went to the site and checked them out. We were eager to see them, since all the benefits sure sounded tempting no to mention they are on sale for such a great price.

However, sadly when we reviewed them, we found many of the styles in unfashionable colors and the cut of the outfits were certainly matronly. The “wonderful” non-wrinkle fabric, is just a thin polyester that looked cheap even on the gorgeous model!

We also found some on E-bay for sale with the tags still on them. That tells us that the buyer was not satisfied and is trying to get rid of the items!

We would stay clear of shopping on line and make sure you get to try on the outfit before buying it.

(Send us your style question, we pick several a month to answer and yours could be the next one! info@fabulousafter40.com)

Don’t miss out on Susan Bigsby twin set sale!

Hi Ladies,susan-bigsby-ultimate-sweater-set

Last week we shared with you a fantastic SALE on Susan Bigsby’s Ultimate Twin Set.

We were sure you would LOVE Susan’s sweater set because it fits so nicely, and it made up of the  2 ” must have” classic pieces every woman needs to have in her wardrobe.  Not to mention, we have found Susan’s sweaters to be the best fitting and best looking ones on the market!

Looks like we were right. Since then some of you received your sweaters and have been sending us letters with rave reviews!

Hi Susan and Glam Gals-

I wanted you to know I got my order and I love my twin sets!!  In fact, I love the shell so much (I wore it today) I ordered two more of the shells in black, this way I can actually “wear them to pieces” and not worry!!

Thanks again!!  Rhonda

One more note, we want to encourage you not to play it safe…we think the cream and blue and red ones are FAB, to add some much needed color to your wardrobe! Susan spent hundreds of hours choosing just the right shade of blue and coral that is universally flattering to all women.

She is now is closing out her stock, so don’t miss out on this great SALE on these high quality twin sets! (Feel free to write us with your photo and we will help you pick out the right color for you!) info@fabulousafter40.com

Here we are in our twin sets…(don’t forget to let Susan know you found them here on Fabulous After 40!)

Susan Bigsby sweater sets on sale!

If you’ve ever wanted to own The Ultimate Sweater Set, designed by image consultant Susan Bigsby, now is the time to get one — she’s having a closeout sale!

Both Deborah and I own this set, and we can attest that these two pieces are going to offer you more versatility in your closet than any other two pieces you own.  After years of assisting women with their wardrobes, Susan found that most women were missing this crucial closet staple. Out of frustration, she designed it herself! The result is a universally flattering cut and colors that can be creatively styled for countless activities and events.

The silk blend is luxurious enough for evening wear, and will never lose it’s shape.  The shell can be worn by itself, as a sweater vest, and back-to-front for two different necklines.  The cardigan, conveniently a little longer than the shell, can be worn around the shoulders for a relaxed casual look, over a sleeveless top for warmth, or buttoned up for work.  There are so many options, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!

ONE MORE THING:

If you are having trouble deciding what color to buy, just email us a recent photo of yourself and we will help you choose which one will work best!
