I belong to an amazing Facebook group called Forever Fierce: The Midlife Revolution, spearheaded by Catherine Grace O’Connell. Their first Forever Fierce Day is February 19, 2018. To celebrate, the group is asking women in midlife and beyond “What does it mean to you to be Forever Fierce in midlife and beyond?” The group promotes the idea that age doesn’t matter when it comes to women staying “fierce.”
I was surprised to be faced from the start with reactions against the word “fierce.” Continue Reading
Faux leather pants are warm, sexy and edgy. Even if that’s not your style, they balance out when worn with their opposites: soft, feminine, girly, ladylike, even businesslike. And they don’t have to be black; there are many other colors available now. And they don’t have to be skin-tight. The latest styles of leather pants are loose with drawstrings, gathered like joggers, shaped like culottes or with wide legs. Because of all of these style options, age doesn’t matter. Besides, if you’re older and facing imperfections on your legs, it totally covers any problem you might have!
Faux leather pants go well with feminine blouses, corset tops, lace and chiffon. When the cold weather subsides, you can even wear them with tank tops and crop tops if that’s your thing! To be extra warm all over, add a sweater such as a cable pullover or a cardigan.
Boots are the go-to footwear for leather pants. For day, you can wear slip-on sneakers. For evening, heels play up the sexy vibe.
Following are outfit ideas using black faux-leather pants and more outfit combinations after that using any color faux-leather pants. These outfit suggestions range from the transition of Fall-to-Winter to the transition to Spring (for instance, if you have colored leather or cut-out booties or strappy suede sandals).
Sometimes when we’re sad or it’s a rainy drab day devoid of color, we dress in bright colors to cheer ourselves up. We might paint our bedroom blue because it is a calming color that makes it easy to relax. It’s obvious that colors around us affect how we feel and how we operate. All through our lives, we can use color to improve how we feel in so many ways. Age doesn’t matter. In fact, the more experience we have the more adept we become at using certain colors to our advantage.
Age doesn’t matter; we all like to wear what we want. It’s nice to be able to break the old fashion rules. We can wear white after Labor Day. We can wear white jeans in the Fall and Winter. We can also wear white cords or white trousers or white cargo pants or white chinos. And any of these “white” pants can be off-white, ivory or cream. So when I say white jeans, I’m also thinking of the alternatives. This is a modern look. Let’s explore how to look cool wearing white jeans in the fall and winter…
How Do You Wear White Jeans in Fall and Winter?
Winterize them with Fall and Winter colors, or with the same colors in different textures and fabrics. Wear white jeans with warm neutrals like caramel and gray tops, and with autumnal hues like purple, camel and browns. Try ivory or cream jeans or pants with neutrals like gray, white, black or earth tones. Plaid also works with white or off-white pants, no matter what colors the pattern contains.
Wear white jeans with black for a timeless look all Winter long. Black and white is such a popular and classy look any time for any occasion. Varying shades of white will go well with your white jeans or pants. Then add gold accessories with your all-white or black & white outfits. Even if you wear silver, mix it with gold which goes best with black and white neutrals.
Footwear should be toned to the color of your jeans. If the color of your footwear contrasts too much with the white jeans, it shortens the look of your leg. A long, uninterrupted line of color or tone is preferred because it makes your legs look longer. A white boot would really lengthen the leg line with white jeans or pants. Nude footwear is a great choice, and animal-print shoes and accessories accent the white beautifully.
This is a diary of the healthy lifestyle goals that my son, Chris, and I are making together each month. Since it takes 21-30 days to develop a new habit, making a goal for the month ahead is an effective strategy.
He and I agree that making these monthly goals together and posting our results here for you to see helps us to improve our health. I’ve always found that if I say out loud to someone what I plan on doing, I’m more likely to do it. Because if I say I will, I feel responsible to follow through.
Age doesn’t matter. It’s never too late. You can always make progress and actually reverse the signs of aging!
Chris’s goal last month was to get back to the healthy eating patterns that have become his normal diet since working on these goals for the last couple of years. That means less carbs, fried and greasy foods and maybe a little less sugar.
For my part, I agreed to go to the gym twice a week since my seasonal exercises were out-of-season. Chris wanted to talk me into more, but I’m going to agree to more for next month’s goal. Lol!
