Button Mockneck Sweater - Sequin … curated on LTK

wardrobe_oxygen

Our second day of Thanksgiving with a different group of family! Cold day so I chose to style this adorable sequin reindeer sweater with velveteen pants and boots over wool socks. The coat was inside; I braved the cold for this OOTD! 😂 Pants 16p, could have maybe sized down. Same with the sweater; got XL and could have done L instead. The boots are from last year but I linked to very similar and from the same wide width friendly brand. LTKOver40 LTKMidsize LTKHoliday

I believe I’ve found the perfect wide width loafer! It looks good for work but can dress up for evening, it comes in regular and wide, and it’s on sale for less than $60!! Oh and it’s comfortable right out of the box!

The boots ARE Franco Sarto, and the bag IS Maje and the suit may be sold out but I linked to similar. And under the suit all I’m wearing is a seamless frills-free bra which I’ll also link to!

In high school I saw a woman on a soap opera in a silk blouse that looked like a stained glass window and it was all shades of blue, purple, and green. I have wanted a similar blouse ever since. I’ve bought a few over the years that had a similar vibe but this one from Boden is almost an exact match! Obsessed!

I paired it with an old pair of navy satin pants from Universal Standard though this blouse would also work with black.

Top is a 14 regular, pants are XS and hemmed to a shorter length. Boots last year but I linked to similar and linked to exact or similars for all my silver jewelry

I think one of the most fun and festive ways to style an ugly Christmas sweater is to pair it with a sequined skirt. The longer the skirt the more you should tuck it in. Add black tights and boots for a continuous leg line to lengthen but also to stay warm yet still dressy

Please excuse the gum chewing… 😬 while the teens were doing what teens do at the mall, I headed to @cpk for spinach artichoke dip and a glass of Sav Blanc and was trying to remove the effects while embarrassing my kid in Urban Outfitters filming my OOTD while lip syncing to One Direction…

We braved the mall before Christmas and survived to tell the tale. I dressed for function not fashion in comfortable clothes that wouldn’t get destroyed from try ons and wouldn’t have this perimenopausal mama overheat.

Sweater: old @llbean (but still for sale; wearing XXL)
Cords; @anntaylor 16P
Clogs: @softwalk
Tote: @able (purse & shopper in one)
Jewelry: all vintage except @analuisany pendant necklace

Thanks to these two products I have longer and lusher lashes than I did in my 20s! I love this clean beauty mascara; it’s a tubing mascara so no flaking or smudging. A must for us over 40 women. And this lash growth serum also works on brows!

Braved the crowds at the mall to be a chauffeur for teens and pick up a few stocking stuffers.

Sweater is XXL but a couple of years old and has been through the dryer once or twice. Still for sale and linked here.

Pants are new; went with 16 petite. I always bring a big leather tote to the mall so I don’t need shopping bags and it doubles as my purse.

These clogs are so comfy right out the box; I wear with striped wool socks. I wore them to the mall to make potential fitting room try-ons easier.

Gold feels like an obvious choice with gold which is why I went with silver. It’s good to switch it up; it often increases your style quotient!

Wardrobe classics you wear year after year and always look great. The jeans are relatively new but will be in my closet for a long while. The rest are old and either for sale or there is super similar available that I’ve linked. Jeans are 14, sweater is XL

#LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize #LTKStyleTip

When the clearance cardigan (L) matches your beloved Vega sneakers… Breton striped top is XL and I own a few of these, jeans are 14 short

Oh the power of accessories and a statement lip! 💄

I see so many holiday looks that are just too fancy and complicated for real-life. My go-to is a sweater in a festive color, drapey black trousers, polished black booties, and being a quick change artist with jewelry, bag, and makeup. This sweater is perfect as it goes from bateau to off the shoulder for extra drama.

Sweater: @anntaylor (L)
Pants: @mmlafleur (14)

Bag: @loft (old; linked to similar)
Earrings and ring: both @anntaylor and old but linked to similar

Texas tuxedo? Or is it a Canadian tuxedo? Whatever it is, I love wearing denim on denim. No need to be matchy matchy, play with washes and finishes. I’ve had this Levi’s western shirt for years and liked the contrast with these bleached out faded wide leg jeans from Lands’s End. Comfy leather clogs for a day of writing at the office and a bunch of silver jewelry to add shine and personality. Jeans are 14, shirt is XL, clogs are one of the best purchases I’ve made all year!

Winter travel doesn’t have to be unfashionable. Chance of snow, extreme cold and wind, and I did well with this outfit (plus gloves, an oversized cashmere pashmina, hat, and insulating base layers). The coat is 16 petite, the sweater Large, the jeans 14 regular, the boots and bag old but I linked to similar!

My favorite size inclusive jewelry is on sale! #AnaLuisa is reasonably priced jewelry (most is 14K gold over brass) that is stylish, sturdy, and up to 35% off!

Tarnish and water resistant, hypoallergenic, 2 year warranty, and free shipping/returns; I’ve found Ana Luisa jewelry to last for years withstanding pools, oceans, washing dishes, and more! Rings up to size 15 and chains often with 2” extenders means more bodies can rock stylish and nicely priced jewelry! #AnaLuisaAmbassador

Today is rainy and gray and I just felt like some denim on denim and comfy clogs. The jeans are 14 petite, the shirt XL, only the silver pendant necklace is available for purchase but I linked to a few similar pieces. As for the lariat necklace? It’s actually a long chain necklace I just hooked on the chain instead of the clasp and turned it around! These leather clogs are comfy right out of the box and look way more expensive than their price tag!

This long wool peacoat from Ann Taylor was perfect on a very cold and windy day. With hand warmer pockets and deep flap pockets, double breasted with a collar I could stand up to the wind, and a dense wool blend and long length I was protected and comfortable. I’m wearing 16 petite; I’ve also linked all the winter accessories I wore with this coat over my getaway.

Something old, something new, all styled with denim of blue… blouse and coat are Ann Taylor. Coat still available, blouse was on clearance but I linked to similar. Jeans are 14, coat 16 petite. Scarf if vintage (belonged to my dad) but I linked to similar.

Color me OBSESSED! I visited my local @talbotsofficial to check out the Cyber Monday sale of 50% off and fell in love with the Talbots Confetti Plaid coat and matching a-line skirt. Talk about classic modern style; this is chic now and will remain chic for years to come.

I am 5’3” and a 14/16 and found the XLP coat (it comes in Misses, Petite, Plus Size, and Plus Petite) and the skirt in 16P (it comes in Misses, Petite, and Plus) fit me best.

The #Talbots Cyber Week sale is 50% off sitewide plus free shipping. I’ve linked not just to this suit (which is great also as separates) but items from Talbots I’d style with it for a bit of a mini capsule wardrobe and an excellent #TalbotsHaul at half price! #ad
