Recently, I posted three color charts that make it easy to create colorful outfits. Now, I am sharing some outfit ideas based on color, using those charts. I hope that these ideas will inspire you to create new outfits out of what you have. Age doesn’t matter when you wear what you love!
For myself, I find it useful to start by listing all the pieces in my wardrobe that I have in a certain color. And then I look for what I have in harmonizing colors to pair with each piece. You might call this color blocking, when you combine colors other than neutrals.

They don’t seem warm (let me know if you disagree) but rather, they seem cooling due to their loose and airy qualities. So now that I am into maxi-skirt season, I’m sharing my outfit ideas on how to wear them at this time. Age doesn’t matter. Take these ideas and adapt them to your preferences. I hope this will help you to enjoy wearing this beautiful piece more often!

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.

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.
