Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women…Good Things Utah Tv Segment 

Hello pretty ladies,

Today, I am so excited to share. I will be on Good Things Utah sharing: A Fashion Segment on “Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife Women.” You can watch the segment HERE or Live at 10:00 am Mnt. On local channel 4/KTVX.

 Below: I am sharing a complete list of all the items I am sharing from White House Black Market, along with MY TIPS: on Spring Fashion Fixes for Midlife. I hope you enjoy it! Ox ( I will enter photos from today, after the show)

 

Sharing a few Spring Fashion Fixes for dressing Chic at any age.. is something I try to share with you, as it is my main goal to help Midlife women look and feel good at any age. We are not the Golden girls anymore!

-Aging doesn’t mean you have to lose your sense of style. If anything, we have finally figured out who we are and what our style is.

-Age shouldn’t dictate what we wear. However, it may dictate what you are comfortable in. And, like many women, your style probably has developed more over time. Finding what you really love and what works for your body is most important.

 

                                     4 of my most significant fashion FIXES:

#1-Always wear what you love. When you wear what you love, you feel good.

#2-Wear what works on your body and makes you feel great, no matter the trend! Clothes that don’t work on your body type DON’T Flatter you. 

#3-Accentuate, your body’s good features, tiny waist, great legs, flat tummy or pretty shoulders, whatever that may be… show it. Don’t let aging defy you.

#4- It’s ok to wear seasonal trends. Mix them in with your classic pieces. So often, when ladies approach midlife, they think they can’t wear fashion trends! So, False! Adding in subtle trending details updates your wardrobe and gives it a “FRESH look,” and a lot of the time, the most affordable way to update a wardrobe. 

                    Here are a few Spring Fashion Fixes that are trending:

                                       White| Flares| High Waisted| Belts| Blazers| Braided Sandals|

                                         Layered Jewlery|Pattern Pop| Stud details| 

All great ways to “FIX” your midlife Fashion. And below are ways to incorporate them.

 

Color WHITE|

-White is always chic and timeless for Spring and Summer… (One of the perks of midlife, no little hands to get you dirty 😂), and Neutrals are trending in a BIG way this Spring! We love this Bag and This top.

Jeans|

Add a pair of white jeans, skinny or High waisted Flares Shown below are from White House Black Market. 

All jean styles are “in style” right now, from straight legs, cropped flares, and mid-rise to high rise. There’s no wrong style right now. Most importantly, wear what you feel good in!

Below are two Jean styles trending:

 

 

White Skinny Jeans|

The skinny jean is flattering on every figure, great worn dressed down or up. Perfect with flowy Summer tops and this season’s ruffled detailed tops. 

Two STYLE FIXES BELOW: 

Style Fix #1.

The balance of a flowy top and a tight bottom has a slimming effect (significant for those with a tummy). 

Style Fix #2.

Another great way to style skinny jeans is with a Blazer or Moto jacket over a button-up blouse or graphic tee. Dress up for work or down for play.

 

 

White High rise Flares|

High-rise jeans can have a love-hate relationship, depending on your figure and how you wear them. Some love them, and some hate them. On the other hand, they can be great for hiding a muffin top and bad on your backside.

 So, styling them correctly is key. If you’re like me and don’t have a backside and carry your weight in the middle, they are great styled with a blazer. They hold the tummy in, hide a muffin top, and the blazer covers the backside. Also, they can make you look taller if you’re on the shorter side. To name a few body types. Otherwise, I could go on and on.

Three Style Fix below:

-Style Fix #1.

wearing a flare is on-trend and can really elongate your legs.

Style Fix #2.

• High-waisted is also on-trend and can be great with a bodysuit and blazer.

Style Fix #3.

• Wearing high-waisted with some of the Cropped trending sweaters and tops is also helpful to be on-trend without showing skin.

Here are a Few white jeans I love from White House Black Market Below:

 

Belt|

Belts come and go in Fashion. We have been seeing belts trending for a while now, especially with the designer logos. This Spring, we see all belts, with the WIDE belts being hot hot hot! 

Three Style Fix below:

Style Fix #1.-Belts show off a waist: Accentuates a small waist or gives an illusion of a waist. 

Style Fix #2.– Belts add shape to a shirt dress or Maxi tee dress.

Style Fix #3.– Belts can add detail to simpler outfits.

Here are some Favorites from the White House Black Market Below:

 

 

Blazers|

Adding some spring trends with your classic pieces helps keep your wardrobe from looking dated. A dated wardrobe ages you, and nobody wants to look older😂

Below are 3 styling Fixes for wearing Blazers

Styling FIX #1. A Tee-shirt dress with a Blazer shown here is classic yet “ON Trend” with the Spring Blazer craze that’s going on.

Styling FIX #2. Another great way to wear a blazer is with a graphic tee and shorts.

Styling FIX #3. Wearing a blazer is as simple as dressing up in a tee and jeans.

Some of our favorite flattering Blazers below from White House Black Market:

 

 

Accessories| Braided| Layered Jewlery| Pattern pop| Studded detail

Accessories are a great way to add in a Subtle trend without being too trendy. Accessories FIX a dated wardrobe.

HERE are a few of this season’s accessory trends below.

 

Braided Sandal Trend|

Shown below, the braided sandal is hot this season. WHBM has a couple of cute ones to add in Here & Here

 

 

Layered Jewelry|

Layered jewelry has been on trend for a couple of seasons. Wearing several of your favorite necklaces at once adds detail. Creating this look is simple with this necklace by White House Black Market, as all the layering is done for you in one simple piece. Great to dress up a simple tank top or tee.

Crystals are trending from Fashion to home decor. They have great energy and give any outfit a great “statement.”

Below are a couple of pieces I love:

 

 

 

Pattern Pop|

Pop of leopard is always a fun addition to any outfit. Leopard truly never goes out of style. Now, wearing too much of it at once can be overdone. Just a pop will do!

Fashion Fix: Add a pop of leopard to your outfit with a great leopard bag to make a statement. Or even a pair of Leopard shoes can create an interest in a simple outfit.

Some great Leopard pieces from WHBM:

 

 

Studded detail|

 Studded detail is also “Trending” it is a fun little detail to add to an outfit without being too youthful yet adding an “on-trend” update to your look. This detail once associated with punk rock is no longer! Instead, it’s a detail Valentino has been sporting for a while and is one you need to add to your wardrobe.

Style Fix: The stud element adds texture to an outfit. You can add the stud detail with a bag or shoes shown below. It’s also being used as a detail on clothing. A Fun element that takes your outfit up a notch.

I love this Bag and these sandals by WHBM:
