The only magazine that we know is More Magazine, but even then, they are mostly tall and thin. We hope that one day soon, stores will realize that we want to see real women in clothes and show us how we might really look in them. Thanks for your comment! Hi Meena,

Makes one feel that aging is okay! Just a comment on the models, although they are beautiful, please can you model 40+ women so that we can see how these clothes ideas would look on older women. Most of these girls are probably in their 20s and everthing looks fab on them! :) Love your newsletter – it’s so refreshing and positive! Makes one feel that aging is okay!

I don't function on what other perceive as "age appropriate" I just wear what I like. This is also probably on the more expensive side since its designer. I don't mind doing trendy pieces here and there but I wouldn't suggest anybody spending big bucks on something that is not a classic or basic piece you would wear like a hundred different ways. Again, nothing wrong with a super trendy item just don't spend a lot of money for it.

That is the tough part of being over 40, is where to draw the line in trends vs FUN vs classy vs looking age appropriate. One thing we like Kelly, is that your military jacket is in dark brown. That will give it a softer look than black or navy, and will make it more wearable. Good luck with your search, hope you all will share photos of your finds and creative ways to wear this falls latest trend! Hi Gail and Kelly,

I have a military style jacket (dark brown with darker brown buttons - much more "casual" military) and I have worn it a few times, but it doesn't feel as "right" as some other jackets I wear. I'm going to make an effort to pair it in interesting ways and wear it more often this fall. I agree too – spot ON.

I also think you are spot-on! I especially agree with your comments on the price and statement piece quality of the jacket, which definitely I had considered and probably lent to my uncertainty. I will definitely keep looking and I am sure I will find a jacket that will have a more timeless quality to it. BTW - loved your idea of the red plaid shirt under this jacket - how fun!
