As part of my Fall/Winter Evening Series, I’m adding this post on how to wear a sequin top or topper because they are look makers. And I surely wouldn’t do without my sequin t-shirt! Actually, I consider a sequin tee an essential wardrobe item for day, night and year round. It’s that versatile and so much fun!
Besides the t-shirt, I also own a couple of sequin tank tops, a number of long-sleeve sequin tops and a sequin shirt. The long-sleeve tops are great for layering day or night, so they’re pretty useful. I reserve the shirt for evening wear, but it doubles as a jacket when left unbuttoned so I consider it worth having. It makes a sequin jacket or blazer unnecessary for my casual lifestyle. All these items do come in handy often enough for me to recommend them as part of an evening wardrobe.
Age doesn’t matter. Older is bolder, so go ahead and sparkle whenever you get the chance!

It’s a good time to indulge in Gothic style. Across culture, entertainment, and art, the ’80s subculture known for its all-black trappings and anachronistic aesthetic has unexpectedly reemerged in 2025.
The elements of Goth fashion derive from the Victorian Gothic era in the 19th Century, styled on the dark side. Think Edgar Allen Poe. Present-day Goth originally emerged from the post-punk scene in the United Kingdom in the early 1980s, and has caught on around the world and persists to this day. It is mysterious and poetic, edgy and dramatic. So whether you are Goth from way back or just looking into it, I have some up-to-date ideas here to create this dark, romantic look.
Age doesn’t matter. You can get bolder as you get older. That’s not to say you can’t tone down this, or any, style. You can always be your true self and then throw in an element of style for fun, experimentation or self-expression. Trying out new things keeps us modern and youthful, and adding a third piece to a basic outfit is what makes things interesting.
So I am going to lay out the elements of Gothic style, focusing on the romantic side. But you don’t have to use them all at once. One at a time is just fine. You can go crazy with it, you can add Gothic pieces to something that’s the total opposite, you can wear it just for Halloween, or you can just buy one piece that you love and wear it forevermore. 😉
What follows are the fashion elements and outfit ideas that will help you to get inspired by Gothic Style.

I love the flowing, eclectic, colorful and embellished outfits put together in the gypsy style. It’s free-spirited. You can dress for your true self, and age doesn’t matter. When doing photo searches for this blog, I often see artistic women of a certain age in multi-color, sweeping skirts with loads of jewelry.

An offshoot of Gypset — a style adopted by jet-setters who have travelled the globe — modern gypsy style is likened to a global, bohemian style. It is an exotic combination of tribal, art deco, hippie, ethnic, gothic and of course vintage. Today’s generation has a refreshed interest in this way of dressing and has renamed it “gypsycore.”
