PUTTING EDGE INTO AGE

Pants thrifted shirt H&M

 Yes you read it right.  I am a BIG DEAL and this outfit is just as big of a deal.  I wanted to get a little bold and try out some newspaper printed leggings.  They fit like pants so that don't have the thin cheap look that you see in stores.  Made from Milk Way (company).  The style is sexy but chic.  At 49 I still think that women my age can pull this look off.  Just make sure that you get a great quality printed pant and a age appropreate t-shirt that will fit your personality.  I love wearing the clear heels you always see me in.  I wanted to add this chunky bracelet for more of any edgy style.  My MCM designer purse fits great with this look.  Enjoy

CHEERS TO THAT LITTLE BLACK DRESS

He really liked this one.  Text "Baby I really like this dress"  Reply "Sexy as Hell".  That is what this little black dress can do for you.  Bought this piece at a little trendy type shop for only $7.99. So many possibilities with this dress.  I put a great vintage sequin belt around the waist so that I can add some chicness to the dress.  These dark shades make the dress a little Audrey Hapburnish.  I really like how this dress is form fitting, but takes about 10 lbs. off my figure.  Love Love Love this look.  He loves it to.  Can't wait for the weekend to see just how much he loves this dress.  Meow

VIBRANT BRIGHT COLORS MAKE YOUR FACE GLOW

As we get older we get a little timid  to experiment with vibrant colors.  I just turned 49 on June 18, 2013 and I feel 20 in this yellow top.   I think that putting vibrant colors together with prints will make a bold statement without looking like we are trying to hard.  Take this great vibrant yellow top with this stripped printed skirt.  I text this look to my boyfriend and he text me back and told me how great this color looks on me.I switched it up a little for the day and added some great orange skinny jeans with the yellow to and boon here you go.  I hardly ever pull out the yellow but believe you me, from now on I will work yellow as much as possible.   Ladies let's experiment more with color and make ourselves look younger,  vibrant, youthful and sexy.

Well here we go again another birthday for yours truley, ME.  I am slowly approaching 49 years old and an determined to stay youthful and sexy as is every women on the planet earth.  I think I've done a great job so far and I will be continuing to stay that way.  One way is of course dressing sexy with out looking like I'm trying to look like I'm in my 20's.

 Now this outfit says wise, strong and confident.  I didn't want to just wear a pair of shorts with a tank so I made it pop with this designer inspired scarf.    I also wanted to add a little adventure to this outfit and added a leopard belt.  The heels are one of my favorite.  I believe that the only thing that shoes can do is to make you taller and slimmer.  I'm five foot four, but I look five foot seven.  Sorry Carrie (Sex in the City).   I also paired this great alligator/leather handbag to give the extra styish/chic look.  Loving that POP.  LIFE AS A THRIFTYGURL

Can You Say Vibrant Over sized Top With Linen White Capris?

I have had this over sized top for so long I wanted to see what I could do with it.  I thought that I had to sale it to someone who wore a extra large, but when the weather got warmer, I decided to pair the over sized top with my white linen Capri pants.  I love, love , love this outfit.  So vibrant and a little bold.  I think it is a chic way to add color and still keep it classy and appropriate.  Enjoy

Modern Style with a Twist of Vintage

 Let me explain.  I have this modern trendy top with a great spandex floral printed shirt.  I wanted to pair this outfit with a great accessory that would not take away from the outfit.  Well here is what Kat came up with.  I put this vintage cigar purse with this great modern top and skirt.  

I love the warm weather here in Virginia and now I get to show off my bright colored taste.  The top was bought at Love Couture for $12.00 and the floral skirt was purchased at Forever 21 for under $10.00.  Now we all now that I am 48 (soon to be 49 in June) and I see so many young women wearing this trendy style.  I came to prove to all women that we mature lady's over 40 can rock this style just as well.  I don't know about you, but SHE wants to stay sexy and young for as long as SHE can.

 This was the first day the temp went up to over 60 degrees and I had to go out and do  some summer shopping.  I love that the trend this spring/summer will be floral vibrant prints.  The top was purchased at Love Couture in Fair Oaks Mall and the jeans of course were purchased at a thrift store.  Love the vibrant strapless top.  I also love in distressed jeans.  They go together like me and fashion.  My skin tone looks great in vibrant colors and I will take advantage of that this summer.  The bag goes really great with this outfit as well.  A woven two tone orange and cream bag.  So light and roomy.  As you can also see, I have on my clear heels.  I will also be sporting these all summer long.  I love the fact that they don't take over the outfit.  My purpose with heels are to look taller and clear and beige heels do just that.  Enjoy
