We're in Our 50s and Are Prioritizing These 2021 Trends

January 27, 2021 janet gunn

Melissa Meyers and I thought we’d share our insight into the trendier items and especially forward basics we’re prioritizing this year. After all, we love sharing our style point of view for over 50, but of course, age has absolutely nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear! It’s attitude but you know that already and we love that! Who What Wear keeps delivering stylish women to follow for getting creative with your fashion and staying true to your personal style. Read the full article on Who What Wear.

These last few months I discovered faux-leather from Mango. Not only is it 100% accurate for sizing, but the price is so affordable. Right now their sale is up to 70% off!

Here are two brands we regularly wear that have chic, yet comfortable cardigans / Sunday Citizen Use Code 1JANET15 / MerSea

We're in Our 50s, Have Tried a Ton of Basics, and Now Rely on These 8 Easy Items

November 9, 2020 janet gunn

“We're in Our 50s, Have Tried a Ton of Basics, and Now Rely on These 8 Easy Items.” See the full article here

They previously shared with us the basics they wear to look chic, and we wanted to dive even deeper into this topic to get a sense of the winter basics that are no-fail in their eyes. In reality, they've tested out a ton of basics over the years, so they know what truly works best for them specifically. With all that in mind, keep scrolling to check out the easy items they're wearing more than anything else right now, complete with styling inspiration. If you're interested in adding a piece or two into your offering too, there's also a smattering of shopping picks sprinkled throughout for you to shop. P.S. We look forward to strolling together again soon!

Faux-Leather

Faux-leather for sure in these buttery soft pants from WHBM I have been living in these lately and their petites fit true to size. Wearing their Snake-print jacket that’s on sale now!

Classic Jeans -

"A great-fitting pair of jeans is a forever classic for any closet. We love the versatility of this timeless, tried and true basic, and prefer high-waisted styles in a variety of washes." I wear my white boots all season.

Flats

These sneakers were worth the investment. After two seasons they are still my “go-to” for a fashion sneaker and comfort. If you are into vintage luxury Milk Boutique has a nice collection of handbags. Located in Brentwood.

Cashmere Sweater

"Nothing says luxury quite like the feel of cashmere. We live in our sweaters throughout the winter, whether they're oversize or fitted. A classic sweater made from this timeless and cozy material always shouts chic."

Wraps

"An oversize wrap is super versatile and the perfect grab-and-go basic. It can be worn in so many different ways. We like to wear ours as a shawl or as a scarf with a jacket or blazer." Melissa and I are huge fans of wraps for that classic and chic style.

Leather is that elevated anchor piece that always adds an edge and sophistication to any outfit. Faux or real, make sure you have a skirt, jacket, or pants in this fabric as part of your wardrobe this season." On Meyers: Zara skirt and jacket; Office of Angela Scott shoes; Heidi Wynne Wrap

T-Shirts - Sweat Suit

My #1 favorite for that elevated T-Shirt is from Livotte London / Jeans / Boots

Timeless Blouse

"A simple classic blouse can be worn dressed up with a leather skirt or with a favorite pair of jeans and sneakers. It's always a favorite style of ours." Grayson blouse

"Our wardrobes have definitely expanded to include more comfy clothing than ever. A cute sweatshirt worn with jeans or a matching sweatsuit are our go-to pieces these days. This is the perfect cozy-chic look when working from home or running errands."

Lovecycled Split Turtleneck- Mer Sea - Use Code: 20MERSEA — Lovecycled Split Turtleneck- Mer Sea - **Use Code: 20MERSEA**

MerSea has a great collection of cozy travel wraps, comfy sweaters and their new Lovecycled™ Collection honors this beautiful world we live in. The yarn is crafted from 98% recycled plastic bottles and is so soft, it's just the right amount of cozy for a cold winter.
