Neutrals

Just another neutral day for me today.  It appears I have grown into this skirt that was far too big for me just a few months ago.  Guess this is my sign that I need to go work out, like now!

There is a jacket that goes with the skirt but I worried it would make me look even bigger so I nixed it early on in the day.

  I've been reading a lot of blogs lately about what women should wear once they cross over that forty threshold. I'm concerned about many of the tips and tricks I've read about.  There's no doubt one should dump the frumpy, ill fitting clothes that usually are associated with women my age, but don't go the extreme route and start dressing like your teenager.  If you're not willing to be bold and daring at first stick with neutrals.  They're always a safe color to work with and once you are comfortable picking something that's stylish just add a small pop of color or texture.  I added an animal print belt here with this outfit simply because I felt there was just too much neutral going on.  Start small and work your way up to fashionable you.
