White Blazer New York & Co. |  Boyfriend Jeans Similar  New York & Co. | White Tee Target | Wedge Sandals Jessica Simpson | Striped Handbag (Similar)
In case you didn't already know, I am addicted to blazers.  It is truly an obsession.   My Instagram feed is filled with pictures of me in them.  I particularly love New York & Co. blazers.  They are great quality at a reasonable price.  I like to get them when they go on sale most of the time.  I especially love white for spring and summer and since I am a pear shape I prefer white on the top instead of the bottom.   There is just something so crisp, vibrant, and classy about a white blazer.  This blazer is extremely flattering, it draws the attention up away from my problem area.  These blazers are constantly going on sale and that is one of the reasons I love NY& Co so much.  I believe a women can never have too many blazers in her closet.  If I had it my way I would have one in every color, print, and style (oh wait I kinda do). 

Love & Hugs,
Chrissy

Pink and denim for spring

Denim Dress: New York & Company (size down runs big)  |  Pink Trench no longer available (similar options HERE & HERE)  |  Shoes: Jessica Simpson
     Hi my friends,  I hope you are all doing well.  This denim dress is everything!  It fits like a dream and makes me feel so pretty.  I'm not one for wearing dresses, that would explain my pasty legs.  It's especially hard for me now to find dresses that look good on me since I had my breast implants removed.  My body shape has changed and it's taken time to adjust.  This denim dress makes me feel pretty again while being in a dress.  It is so comfortable and stretchy.  This is the most flattering denim dress I have ever found.  This one runs big so make sure to size down.  I paired it with my pink trench coat for that fantastic pop of color.  Nothing says spring like pink. 

Nude wedges elongate your legs so I was so happy to find these cute Jessica Simpson ones.  I usually have a hard time with wedges since my MS relapse. I am weaker on my right side and wedges are usually to heavy for my right leg. These Jessica Simpson ones are perfect, not heavy at all, they are so light weight.  Can't wait to try out more of her wedges.

Love & Hugs,
Chrissy

3 Winter outfit ideas for women over 40

 These are 3 winter outfits that I really enjoy wearing this time of year.  Winter time calls for layering and why not layer with some very stylish pieces.  I just love this moto jacket with this turtleneck. Unfortunately, I bought this last year and it is no longer in stock.  I have some links to similar items down below. It makes it look so edgy yet it keeps you warm.  One of my latest favorite additions is this green quilted jacket.  This jacket fits so well and is so flattering and comfortable.  I added a blanket scarf to keep warm and to add an element of extra style.  The White Sweater and Peacoat are such a classy combo and great layering pieces.  I love this peacoat so much and can't stop
wearing it.  I bought my daughter one in green,  so we are now twinsies.  #nyandcompany is having a sale on the green jacket and the white cowl neck sweater with an additional 40% off of the sale price.  The peacoat is still on sale at Nordstrom.com for only $37.90 so head over there and get this must have item.

Love & Hugs,
Chrissy

faux fur vest

Faux Fur vests are all the rage right now.  If you are over 40 you may be wondering if you can pull this look off.  Well I'm here to tell you that you can.  Fur vests can be so fashionable and elegant so why wouldn't you want to try this style.  I found the first vest at Macy's and it is by Guess.  I especially love this vest because it has a collar.  The collar helps to bring visual interest to my shoulders which are really narrow.  This vest is so soft and beautiful.  I paired it with a thinner fabric blouse to avoid added bulk.  The next vest only has fur on the front which is helpful if you don't like the bulk of a full fur vest.  Pairing these vests with some classic pieces like a white V-neck sweater, help to make this look work for women 40 and over.  Don't be afraid to step out of the box and try this amazing style.

It's the holiday season so that means it's time for those holiday parties.  I love getting all dressed up and going to a party.  It's not very often we get a chance to get all glammed up.  I found all these dresses on sale for $100 or less.  This is one of the most expensive times of the year so I made it a point to set the budget at no more than $100.  Most of these dresses are on sale right now so don't delay if you see something you like.  These dresses are of great quality and the fabrics are very forgiving, but, if you need a little help shapewear will smooth and cover any imperfections.  I can't help but feel super sexy in these dresses and I hope they make you feel the same way too.

Love & Hugs,
Chrissy

Trench Coat chic

Trench coats are a must have for fall and winter.  Surprisingly the trench coat's popularity stems all the way back to World War I Military.  Once used to protect soldiers from the elements, now they are a chic Fall/Winter must have for men and women.  I personally love trench coats and would own 100 if I had my way.  They have an elegance about them and are really great for women over 40.  I believe that the older we get the classier, more sophisticated, and confident we get so our fashion choices should reflect those qualities.  Trench coats scream sophistication, add a scarf and you will look like you just walked out of a magazine. 

Love & Hugs,
Chrissy

     I Love this sweater dress!  I have been eyeing a dress at Nordstroms that has been out of stock forever and I was wondering if I should spend $60 on a sweater dress.  Since the dress was out of stock I went on the hunt for a similar dress for less money.  I was so excited to find this on Amazon for $30, much better than $60.  This dress is a great quality dress.  It is not too heavy or bulky.  It hugs your curves in all the right places.  A sweater dress is absolutely essential for fall.  If you don't like to wear dresses because you are self conscious about your legs, just add some over the knee boots like I did.  This look is great for women over 40 because it still has an element of class with a modern twist.  You will feel so classy and confident in this dress and they have them in all sorts of beautiful rich colors.  You won't regret this purchase.  I have an affiliate link for the dress above.  Please send me pictures of you in this dress,  I would love to see them.

Love & Hugs,
Chrissy

The moto jacket a fall staple

I love this moto jacket!  It's comfy, stretchy, and so cute.  This liquid leather knit jacket looks like an edgy jacket but feels like a cardigan.  I can't believe how comfortable it is.  I can see me wearing this all fall/winter long.  I bought this in a medium.  This cowl neck sleeveless sweater was just perfect to wear with this jacket.  You can avoid a lot of bulk because it's sleeveless and you still have that sweater look.  Personally I don't like wearing long sleeves under a moto jacket because I feel too bulky like the hulk. This sweater runs large.  I'm wearing a small and could have sized down, so keep that in mind when buying this sweater. This is the perfect combination to wear in the mild Southern California Fall/Winter.  I definitely won't get too hot in this like I would in a thick moto jacket. 

Love & Hugs

     This safari style jacket has been one of my favorite pieces that I have added to my collection.  This was a fabulous find back in the spring time.  What's so great about this is it is great for fall too and looks great with a pair of over the knee boots or booties.  I loved it so much I went back and got a black one which I love just as much. Something about this jacket makes me feel more confident and I love that.

Oversized Sweater for fall

      This sweater!  Oh my gosh!  I found it on Tobi.com for only $15.  It is amazing quality, very thick,  warm and lets not forget cute.  Being that I am 40 and not stick thin, I was unsure if I could pull off an oversized sweater.  I definitely don't want to look any bigger.  I keep seeing so many pictures of this oversized look and I love it.  So, I took a chance and ordered this sweater hoping I made a good decision. When I received it, I was very impressed with the quality and how cute it looked on.  My teenage daughter liked it.  I usually run things by her to see if they are age appropriate for me.  Definitely don't want to be that mom that is clinging to her youth too tight.  I am in love with this sweater and am so glad I bought it.  I pulled out my boot cut jeans from New York and co.  These jeans make my legs look so skinny!  I also added some print by pairing it with this cute Anne Klein handbag.  I love animal print!  This is the perfect fall outfit.  When I took these pictures it was the first really cool day in a long time.  The weather has heated up since and I am dying to wear it again.  Come on, isn't it sweater weather yet?

*This sweater is currently sold out.  But keep checking to see when it's back in stock.  I've listed similar styles below.

Love & Hugs,
Chrissy

    Hi, I'm Chrissy and after a life changing health crisis and weight gain, I had to work hard to regain my confidence.  I learned how to dress this new body and fell in love with fashion.  Clothes can make you feel like a million bucks at any size.
