Outfit Ideas for Spring 2018! Lookbook/Capsule Wardrobe

It’s not quite spring here in New England (snow on the ground as I type…), but it’s time to start thinking about warmer weather and what to wear in the coming months.

My Spring 2018 Lookbook is full of outfit ideas for mature women (or women of any age) from casual to work wear to more dressy!

Hope you Enjoy!

Angie,
Of all the short sleeve T’s you’ve modeled , is there one make that is your favorite? I tend to wear tank, but would like to start wearing T’s. They all sort of look the same from their pictures. Thanks.

Amazing outfits! Makes me wish spring was here already. ! Is there a list of what makeup you were wearing? I really liked the colors. Thanks!

Wonderful video; thanks for your great inspiration! I just turned 66 but still feel and look young enough to sport a lot of the looks you displayed. It gets harder every year to find outfits that are both youthful and stylish – and affordable on a fixed income. I don’t want to wear something that might look good but will look foolish on a woman my age, yet I’m not ready to wear clothes that make me feel dowdy. I’m so glad I found your blog and your YouTube channel; I’ll definitely be continually tuning in. Thanks again from your new fan ~

p.s. Your makeup tutorials are also fantastic; they’ve become my Saturday morning staple. 🙂

Thank you! This reminds me of a possible subject for a video, although I understand it might be tricky to film unless you can use manufacturer photos or you have a mannequin.

My top reason for not wearing more knit tops and dresses is that my outline is now bumpier. My weight is the same; but close fitting knits make my figure look less attractive than in my 40s. Every bra band seems to cut into the silhouette in an ageing way.

It’s also related to a second summer question: exposed shoulder cuts that require a racerback or strapless bra.

I’ve spent way too much on unsatisfactory underpinnings, even my beloved Nordie’s steered me wrong. No more, until I get better advice.

Do you happen to have favorite undergarments to recommend, so that we can confidently wear rayon jerseys and off-the-shoulder/strappy dresses the way you do?

  I think your problem is universal… we all get bumpier as we age. As the skin loses elasticity the elastic of bras & underwear just make more of a dent. I have the same problem and haven’t really found any undergarments that solve it. I usually wear a form fitting tank top under my tops & dresses and that helps to hide some of the bra bumps. The ones I get are from Nordstrom & are linked in the “Shop the Post” section. I find that thicker knits lay smoother than thinner ones and sizing up also helps so things aren’t too clingy. The grey dress in this lookbook is a good option because it’s a thicker material & it’s not skin tight.

  Sanni, the very best strapless bra I have ever worn is made by Wacoal. It’s called their Red Carpet Convertible.

I just love your Lookbooks! You are so chic. It’s good to see which trends can be worn over 50. I agree that once we hit a certain age, we don’t have be boring and selecting trendy pieces that go with more classic is a perfect way to stay updated. Now if I could only grow 7 inches! I struggle with being short and having an apple shape but I always get ideas from you that I can adapt to my shape – things I wouldn’t normally have tried if I’d have just seen them in a store!
