Working from home (WFH) means we get to dress comfortably. We can wear lounge clothes, athflow, athleisure or even business casual if it helps to motivate us. Many times, WFH means we need to look good from the waist up for online meetings and it doesn’t matter what we’re wearing from the waist down. It seems to me that’s where some of the new fashions are coming from. Many of the fashions inspired by post-2020 lifestyle are a combination of dressed-up clothes mixed with dressed-down clothes. So that’s something to keep in mind when figuring out how to create nice work from home outfits. Choose something comfy and pair it with something dressy, or vice versa. That way, you have style and comfort at the same time. And in my mind, that’s a key goal when getting dressed!

However, I have perceived barriers in looking for an audience for my niche of “fashion and lifestyle for women over 60.” So I have been wondering how I can engage women of this age. Then it came to me: since my specialty is outfit ideas and I explore styles timelessly so that age doesn’t matter, I don’t have to narrow myself down to age 60 and over. No one wants to be narrowed down by age anyway. Truly, age doesn’t matter and all styles can be adapted to enhance the qualities of your true self. I’ve decided to drop the age restriction of women over 60 from my niche. Instead I am going to focus on how to get outfit ideas and age doesn’t matter.
