Fashion Question: What to pack for a summer adventure to China?

Di (on the right) is off to China and asks, "What should I pack?"

Hi Glam Gals!

My husband, a college professor, was just offered a summer teaching opportunity in Nanjing, China!  We will be there for 6 weeks and I understand the weather will be very hot!  This will be an adventure!  I will definitely be packing my workout clothes – but beyond that I’ve got to start working on a plan!  I’ll turn 59 while on this trip (July/August) – so maybe this birthday won’t count?  Here is a picture of me at my recent 40th high school reunion (on the right).  My friend with me is Robin – we’ve been best friends since we were 13!!

My thoughts are lightweight summer, easy care dresses, skirts and tops.  We will probably have several functions as well as trying to sightsee and tour.

Can you brainstorm on my packing challenge?  Thanks!  Happy New Year!

Di

Hi Di,

First of all we would like to compliment you and your best friend on being true Glam Gals, you both look terrific!

What  happens when  an enthusiastic  group  of 40+ women get together to Discover their true style?

Deborah and JoJami - The Glam Gals

Today, Deborah and I hosted a Find Your WOW Style workshop at the Verity Club in downtown Toronto. It was a full day of exploring how to dress to look updated, authentic and totally  Fabulous after 40.

And did we have fun!

Many of the gals were trying to learn how to overcome their  love affair with black.

Everyone was excited to learn our style recipes for new outfits, especially for weekend and casual looks.

Overall, it was an exciting and inspiring day with lots of “aha” moments! Thank You Ladies. You are all beautiful and it was  our pleasure to help  you Tweak your Chic. ®

If you would like to Have  Find Your WOW Style Workshop come to your city, please comment below and let us know. We’re planning more dated in 2012 and we’d love to meet you!

Top myth about wearing long hair after 40, 50 or older…

 True or False? Women over a certain age should NOT wear long hair?

It’s a myth that many women wonder about and is the subject of today’s FAF Style Question:

Is this hair style age-appropriate? We agree with Billy Lowe...Yes, she looks FAB!

Dear Glam Gals,

I am so unsure about whether I am too old for all this hair!   I am 43 years old.

Thanks,

Ivonne Schwartzman

Dear Ivonne,

We have sent your question over to our FAF celebrity hair expert Billy Lowe and here is what he said:

Hi Ivonne!

Well, if you aren’t a throwback to “That Girl” I don’t know who is.   CONGRATULATIONS is all I can say for sporting a fabulous do, and looking so fun and fabulous while you wear it.  As I always say, you’ve come to the right place for your questions and I’m super excited to work with Fabulousafter40.com to help provide answers to great questions such as yours.

Are you making this over 40 fashion mistake?

A true Glam Gal always wants to look her best, even when going out to the grocery store.

But what can you wear that is easy to throw on and still comfortable?

Watch our latest Tweak Your Chic style video for some fresh inspiration:

Does this look familiar? Looking sloppy is not an option when going out!

AFTER: Much more polished looking, for sure!

 

A simple accessory like this stretch belt from Suzi Roher makes this an outfit and not just another blah pant and top

How to dress comfortable, casual and chic when transitioning from summer to fall

Transitioning into fall can be frustrating.  One day it’s hot, the next cool.  It’s October so you don’t want to look like you’re still wearing your summer clothes yet it’s not cold enough to break out the turtlenecks.  Time to “shop” in your closet, use one of your light weight dresses, add a few accessories or layers to transform your dress into a new outfit.  That’s what we call dressing Chic on the Cheap!

Here are a few tips on how to gently transition into fall:

  1. Wear darker, richer colors
  2. Take a simple cotton dress and add a stretch belt
  3. Tie on a light weight scarf
  4. Time to get out the boots, especially on those rainy days
Here’s a little video to show you how:

AFTER: Adding only 4 accessories makes this plain dress into an outfit!

BEFORE: JoJami in a simple cotton dress from Velvet

Taking Fabulous After 40 on the road!

If you don’t get our bi-weekly newsletter, you might not have heard that I (JoJami) has decided to try something challenging…my husband and I have decided to take some time and travel around the country in a motor coach!

Deborah, who is from Toronto, will be joining up with me from time to time and we will keep you posted on our next live event!

This is going to be an exciting adventure for us and the best part is working on Fabulous After 40 is not really going to change much for me, but where I am writing it from sure will!!

I will occasionally  be posting about my adventures here but more often on Facebook, so if you have not joined up with us at: www.facebook/fabafter40.

If you have ever traveled like this you know packing can be a challenge. Let us know about how you survived when traveling in this way! Comment below.
