Style Ideas from 40+ Fashion Bloggers

This week meet four bloggers with distinct personal styles. From polished to adventurous to relaxed and casual, these ladies prove that fabulous doesn’t stop at 40. Could you take a look and see what I mean?

Let a Jacket Do the Talking

Whether you are heading off to the office or out to dinner, a fitted jacket with a good shoulder jacket is a great way to show off your figure and dress up an outfit.

Here Susan layers a graphic black and white jacket over her monochromatic top and pants. This crisp look works for daytime or evening. Susan keeps her accessories, including her clutch, to a minimum so that the jacket can be the show’s star.

See more Susan’s classic style on her blog Fifty, not frumpy.

Embrace Radiant Orchid

I’m seeing Pantone’s color of the year popping up all over. From fingernails to purses to umbrellas, you can wear the trend any way you wish. Here are 7 of my favorite ways to wear it.

Darlene loves wearing radiant orchids this spring though she admits she’s never really been a fan of purple. I think it looks great on her, especially paired with black.

Red Hot Florals

Style blogger Kristin had always considered florals as fussy and better suited to her aunts and grandmothers. Then she discovered this dress hiding in her closet and decided to style it in a fresh, new way.

Look how adding a pair of edgy Vince Camuto booties and a denim moto jacket adds a whole new vibe to this Asian-inspired, retro-style print dress. Very cool!
