MEROKEETY Women's V Neck Ribbed … curated on LTK

Look #2 of my preppy styles - all part of my seven days of fall trends (today is Day 2).

This pink dress may look summery but it is a sweater dress. I think it’s a perfect transition piece or even something to wear later to brighten up the winter doldrums! The color, polo collar and contrasting trim make it a classic preppy outfit (and don’t forget the preppy pearls!)

Another one of my Amazon finds that was quoted on Bustle.com. I wanted to share the fact that I like to recommend things that I have truly tried - so that you feel comfortable that I have first hand knowledge of the products.

Like this faux leather jacket - it’s great find for under $50. It’s soft and buttery with a great fit. Sometimes with leather the arms can be too long, but this one fits and feel great!

I am excited to share that several of my recommendations were featured in a recent Bustle article on affordable funds on Amazon.

This funnel neck sweater is one of them! I recommend things that I really love and that I think you will too!

Here are all the brown looks from my video that are perfect for Thanksgiving! I love brown, especially this time of year. From an ultra casual sweater vest to a sweater dress, there are lots of options!

#LTKStyleTip #LTKHoliday #LTKSeasonal

I have always loved brown….and it’s such a perfect earth tone to wear for Thanksgiving.

These four looks would look great sitting around any table while munching on some turkey. They are all casual, yet dressy enough for a holiday outfit. We’re pretty much a casual dress family for Thanksgiving, so any of these would work well for me. But I’d probably pick the one that has the most expansion in the waist!

Here’s how to take a basic red dress and turn it into multiple holiday looks!

This is actually Part 2 of accessorizing this red dress for the holidays - that’s because the possibilities are endless. In my first video, I shared fur cuffs, a bow belt and a neckerchief. That’s now six looks for one dress. And it’s a dress you can wear all year long.

Changing the accessories can make it perfect for any occasion! (I already see Valentine’s Day in the future!)

One pair of sequin pants, three looks!

I can’t believe I was “afraid” to wear sequins in the past because now I love them, especially as pants! I think wearing them as pants gives you so many styling options in both top style and color. Add a bright red for the holidays and go all black for New Year’s Eve!

I am not a conservative dresser, but for some reason it took me over 50 years to be ready to wear sequins!

I used to think that maybe they were too “loud” for me, but I have totally changed my mind about them. This pair of sequin pants from Old Navy are a great place to start. I like having the sequins as a bottom – I think that gives you more styling options. Also, if you’re a little hesitant as I was to try sequins, I think wearing them as a bottom is a little less intimidating compared to having them up by your face. I would definitely try wearing a sequin skirt as well!

Yes, this velvet jumpsuit IS from Target!

It may seem a little early to be talking about velvet since it’s not even Thanksgiving, but when I find an awesome piece like this which is just $40 and is in stock in sizes XS - 4X, the time to share is now!

This is an example of the kind of pieces that I like to pick up when I see them and have them in my closet even though I don’t have a plan yet on where to wear them. The price is key, of course, because I could spend the same amount at Starbucks in a month. But the biggest reason is the classic styling. This jumpsuit is something that I can wear for years to come. With it being such a classic, I will be able to style it in different ways, so I will be able to make it look fresh each season. I don’t feel it’s a risk at all to buy it without a plan.

The other reason is the availability of sizes. Now is the time to get the right size for you. I had ordered my usual size but then found I needed to size down and luckily that size was available. This is the opportunity to find the perfect fit. Because the last thing you want to happen is for a holiday party to pop up and now you’re scrambling to find something to wear and have to “settle” for something that doesn’t fit quite right.

Lastly, with most retailers having holiday return policies that extend into January right now, you can always buy it, keep the tags on and the receipt and if you don’t wear it, you can still return it after New Year’s Eve is over. But it can take the stress of worrying about finding something if that unexpected holiday party pops up!

Christmas is coming quickly and why not be prepared with a cozy sweater set? Whether it’s to be cozy entertaining overnight guests or just sipping coffee on Christmas morning, a sweater set is a great option for a comfy and chic look.

My sweater set sold out, but I have links to one that is just as cozy!

How about a cozy sweater set for Thanksgiving? Whether it’s to be chic for overnight guests or to relax with a full belly watching football, a sweater set is the perfect way to be both fashionable and comfortable.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday #LTKOver40

So, you want to be chic, yet comfortable when hosting overnight guests. A matching sweater set is the perfect solution.

A matching sweater set truly does elevate your lounge wear. What I love about them is that they look like you tried without looking like you tried - do you know what I mean? You can look comfy and warm and stylish and chic all at the same time. I also think that a sweater set is a great item to have in your closet “just in case”, because sometimes you really don’t know when an unexpected guest might show up on your doorstep!

My white set is sold out, but I found another one very similar to it and still gives that cozy vibe. My brown set is from Amazon and is available in a variety of colors.

If you saw my video, the. You know I am loving these faux leather pants from Boston Proper. I love the bootcut style and it inspired me to style them with classic tops for a chic look.

#LTKStyleTip #LTKSeasonal #LTKHoliday

Of course you can wear leather pants over 50….and there are great ways to wear them in a chic and stylish way (at any age).

I love these bootcut faux leather pants from Boston Proper. They are high quality while still being affordable. They move well with you and are extremely comfortable. Since they have a “jeans” feel to them, I chose to style them with more classic tops. You can wear any of these tops all season long. You can also switch them out for more holiday inspired looks as well. You will be wearing these all through December and beyond.
