A slip dress is not only a sexy little slip of a thing. It can be worn solo in the summer, of course, or when you’re feeling sexy….But does it really have to be sexy? The answer is no. You can wear it night or day and do so many things with it! Layer under and/or over it: light layers during the spring and summer and heavy layering during the fall and winter. You can add as many layers as you want. It makes the slip dress wearable for all. Age doesn’t matter.
This is an update on how to layer a slip dress during warm weather. For ways to layer a slip dress during cool weather, see my post “How to Layer a Slip Dress Like a Pro.”

Tank tops are a go-to every Spring and Summer. This year, the focus is on wide-strap, scoop-neck styles. All tank shapes are good though, from v-neck to crewneck, from cotton to lace and from simple to embellished. They are all wardrobe basics and great for keeping cool whether combined with light layers or not.
Just choose the right style of tank top for the occasion, be it a casual, athletic or dressy event. Also, be sure to choose tank tops that are not too tight or too loose. The right fit will give you a polished look.
When wearing a racerback tank top, choose a T-strap bra to avoid visible bra straps. If the straps still show, wear a black, colored, printed or lacy bra or bralette.
This post begins with styling basics and then gives outfit ideas for summer parties, classic summer looks and more. Age doesn’t matter.

Athleisure isn’t just about casual wear anymore. It began as wearing gym clothes as street wear. Then it became more and more about luxury comfort: first as dressed-up loungewear and now as elevated athleisure. This trend takes on a more polished and sophisticated edge that can be worn anywhere. Dressed-up athleisure is perfect for running errands, casual meetups, low-key travel days, or even business or day-to-evening events.
Think luxurious fabrics, tailored joggers, and sporty-chic jackets. It’s an excellent way to blend comfort with style. Age doesn’t matter.
You don’t actually have to be athletic to sport this trend (pun intended.) But you might feel fitter just by wearing these outfits. Who wouldn’t want that?

This Spring, the Goddess look rules with floating layers of diaphanous materials such as chiffon and cascades of romantic ruffles, lace and eyelet. As a normal American woman during what seems to be apocalyptic times, I’m not interested in buying extreme fanciful fashions. I don’t have very many fancy places to go and live a practical, busy life. So I’m really interested in enjoying the few ruffled tops that I already own as I go about my daily business. If you have a ruffled top or two as well, I hope you will benefit from the outfit ideas I’ve collected here. Or maybe you will find at least one to acquire that fits into your wardrobe. I’ve found ways to make ruffled tops fit into everyday life. And age doesn’t matter.

Jean jackets can probably be worn a million ways, with a million things. Just like jeans, they go with just about anything and can go just about anywhere. They’re good through all seasons because they can be a light layer to keep the chill off and tied around the waist when not needed during the warm seasons. Or, they can be layered with warm things to stay cozy in the cold seasons. They go great with feminine, lacy, frilly clothes; they dress down fancy outfits; and they can shine with sparkly and classy accessories like diamonds and pearls. This versatility makes denim jackets such a big topic that I’ve decided to break down my outfit ideas into five different blog posts over time. Today I’m starting with a few style tips that will make you look special in jean jackets.
