Jumping For Jumpsuits

I’ve been obsessed with Maxi dressed for years! The class yet ease of wearing a flowing maxi dress just always makes me feel put together and beautiful.

I’ve found a new obsession, I have recently fallen in love with jumpsuits!

They are so versatile. They can be dressed up or down, making them perfect for any occasion. They can be worn to work, to a party, or even just running errands. I love that I can just throw on a jumpsuit and be ready to go. No need to worry about matching a top and bottom, or trying to find a piece that flatters my figure. Jumpsuits just work.

I also love that jumpsuits are so comfortable. They’re like wearing a maxi dress, but with the added benefit of pants. I can move around freely and not have to worry about my clothes getting in the way. This makes them perfect for traveling or for those days when I just want to be comfortable.

Finally, I love the way jumpsuits make me feel. They make me feel confident and put-together without feeling like I over thought my outfit choice.

Here are some tips for styling jumpsuits:

  • Choose a jumpsuit that flatters your body type. If you are petite, look for a jumpsuit that is fitted through the waist and has a longer hemline. If you are curvy, look for a jumpsuit that has a bit of stretch and a cinched waist.
  • accessorize to add your own personal style. You can add a belt or jewelry to dress up a jumpsuit. For a more casual look, you can wear sandals or sneakers.
  • Choose the right fabric for the occasion. If you are wearing a jumpsuit to work, choose a fabric that is wrinkle-resistant and professional-looking. If you are wearing a jumpsuit to a party, choose a fabric that is more festive, such as silk or satin.

No matter how you style it, a jumpsuit is a versatile and stylish outfit that is sure to turn heads. So next time you are looking for something to wear, reach for a jumpsuit and you’ll be ready to take on the day.

Whenever I wear a jumpsuits I always feel like I look polished and put-together. They’re a staple in my wardrobe and I know I’ll always reach for them when I need a quick and easy outfit.

Here are some jumpsuits that I have bought and a few I think you might like. Most are around or under $50:

Effortless Elegance: Fashion Tips for Women in Their 30s 40s and 50s and beyond.

Fashion is an art form that allows us to showcase our inner beauty and celebrate our individuality. It’s a language that speaks volumes without uttering a single word. It’s never too late to tap into your fashion prowess and make a statement that reflects who you are.

Fashion knows no age limits! We need to celebrate the beauty of every stage of life and embrace the power of style to elevate our confidence and express our unique personalities. Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, or 50s or beyond, these are tips to guide your fashion potential and discovering inspiring ideas to create chic and timeless looks.

I want to share fashion tips and tricks tailored specifically for women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s and beyond. From flattering silhouettes to color palettes that enhance your complexion, these are some tips that I have learned that will help create looks that make you feel confident, comfortable, beautiful, and fabulous at any age. Get ready to turn heads, make a statement, and express yourself through your style. (This post contains affiliate links)

Embrace Your Body Shape:
Understanding your body shape is key to dressing confidently. Embrace your curves and focus on highlighting your best features. Whether you have an hourglass figure, an inverted triangle, or a pear shape, dress in a way that flatters your unique silhouette. (If you want to read more about this you can check out my post called “Accentuating Your Body Shape: Dressing Comfortably and Confidently to Embrace Your Unique Silhouette” by clicking HERE)

Invest in Wardrobe Staples:
Build a versatile wardrobe foundation by investing in timeless pieces that can be mixed and matched effortlessly. It is fun to wear trendy clothes, but the majority of your wardrobe should be made up of classic pieces. Essential items like a well-fitted blazer, tailored trousers, a little black dress, classic white shirts, and a quality pair of jeans are must-haves that will never go out of style.

Play with Colors:
Experiment with colors that complement your skin tone and bring out your natural radiance. While neutrals like black, white, and navy are timeless, don’t be afraid to incorporate pops of color into your outfits. Jewel tones, pastels, and earthy hues can add vibrancy and freshness to your overall look.

Prioritize Comfort:
As we age, comfort becomes increasingly important. Search for clothing made from high-quality fabrics that feel comfortable against your skin. Pay attention to details like stretch, breathability, and a relaxed fit without compromising on style.

Flatter with Fit:
Opt for well-fitting garments that enhance your silhouette. Avoid overly baggy or tight clothing. Tailored pieces that skim your body will create a polished and put-together look. Don’t be afraid to get clothes altered to achieve the perfect fit.

Show Off Statement Accessories:
Accessories have the power to transform an outfit. Invest in statement pieces like a chunky necklace, a stylish handbag, or a pair of eye-catching earrings to elevate your look. They can instantly add personality, panache, and pizzazz to even the simplest of outfits.

Mix Classics with Trends:
Combine timeless classics with current trends to create a stylish and contemporary look. Mix and match a classic blazer with a trendy graphic tee or pair your favorite jeans with a flowy bohemian blouse. This blend of old and new will keep your style fresh and relevant.

Don’t Shy Away from Prints:
Embrace the charm of prints and patterns to inject some personality into your wardrobe. Whether it’s florals, stripes, animal prints, or geometric designs, wearing prints can add visual interest and make your outfits more exciting.

Comfortable Shoes are a Must:
Invest in comfortable yet stylish shoes that provide support throughout the day. Opt for classic pumps, stylish flats, or elegant ankle boots. Don’t forget to add a pair of fashionable sneakers for casual outings and weekend adventures.

Confidence is Your Best Accessory:
The most important fashion tip is to wear your clothes with confidence and embrace your unique style. No matter what your style, when you feel good in what you wear, your inner beauty will shine through, making any outfit truly remarkable.

I hope these helpful fashion tips inspire you to explore new styles, embrace your body shape, and exude confidence through your clothing choices. Fashion is a form of self-expression, so have fun, be adventurous, and create looks that make you feel fabulous at any age.

Jeans and Genes

Flab to Fab Finding Jeans | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com
We’ve only just begun…

As you may recall, I have been on a journey from Flab to Fab, and part of this journey has lead me to desperately needing new jeans!

I don’t know quite what it is about jean shopping specifically, but it is exhausting!

I have been wearing the same jeans that I fit into almost 20 pounds ago.  I recently decided that enough is enough and I just needed to suck it up and keep trying until I find the right pair!

You may be thinking, but you have lost a lot of weight, all of your problems have magically been solved!  Nope!

Unfortunately, even though my jeans size has changed, my genes haven’t changed.  I have a small waist, thicker thighs and fat knees.  You may remember me talking about that in my post about Working Out For Beginners.  (I seriously HATE my fat knees!)

Don’t worry, these wonderful genes have also given me a lot of great traits as well.

This means that due to my overall body shape, I am always in between sizes. Seriously, so annoying!  If the waist fits, the thighs and knees are too tight.  If the thighs and knees are comfortable the waist is way too big.  If it seems like a great fit overall they are too short…

Well, I would rather have circulation to my legs, so I decided to just resign myself to the fact that I will always have to wear a belt.  I finally found a pair that I like and that are comfortable as well!

Three stores and 36 pairs later!

Flab to Fab Finding Jeans | lookingjoligood.wordpress.comOn the bright side, no matter what size jeans you are in, you can always wear an amazing pair of earrings!  I got these a while ago and had totally forgotten about them until just the other day.  The best thing about these earrings is that even though they are long and dangly and absolutely beautiful, they only weigh 2 grams.

I hate it when my earrings pull on my earlobes giving me a major headache.  Of course, if I really like the earrings I totally still wear them.  We all know about suffering for beauty! #thestruggleisreal I mean, let’s face it, stiletto heels are not comfortable to walk in in any way at all, but come on, they make you feel so beautiful! No pain no gain, am I right?!
