THE AGELESS STYLE LINKUP

Hi, welcome to the Ageless Style Linkup. The linkup runs the first Tuesday of each month and features 10 women over the age of 40 styling an outfit based on one theme, and, because we’re all so different, each theme interpretation is different. Each month, one of the co-hosts invites a guest co-host to join us for the linkup. Our goal is to show you that style is ageless…

This month’s theme is: “Wearing that hard to style piece” and was chosen by Jodie from Jodie’s Touch of Style. Our guest co-host, also chosen by Jodie, is Maria from Passion Fruit, Paws and Peonies.

MY LOOK

Hard to Style {living outside the stacks}

I’ve had this dress in my closet since last summer. I bought it to wear on the beach in Florida, but I never got around to it. I knew when I bought it that I probably wouldn’t wear it on the streets of Albany, Georgia. The dress has spaghetti straps and I’m, well, busty. And going bra-less is not an option and I have yet to find a strapless bra that provides the industrial support that I need. However, I did think I’d be OK with a tie-neck swimsuit for support…

Anyway, I absolutely adore the hi-lo hem of the dress, so I didn’t want to get rid of it. And the print is so me. So I kept it. But wasn’t sure how I’d wear it. Then I started to notice that a lot of ladies were simply tossing pull-over sweaters over their summer dresses and calling it a day. So, taking my inspiration from them, I decided to give it a try…

I thought the jewelry added to the bohemian look and feel of my outfit…

These boots are – hands down – one of my favorite shoe purchases. They go with everything.

I should’ve taken a picture of the dress without the sweater but you can kinda see the skinny little non-supportive strap on my shoulder.
