Over Forty Style

Eye Protection

2014-03-22T18:48:00.000-07:00

So you've seen the pics from yesterday. We'll tackle the sunglasses. Straight from Tiffany's, a gift for Valentines day from my husband. Oh yes, I've remarried, forgot to mention that. We'll get to that later. Lets talk about eye protection.

Not these, but rather

these

I get it, you want to be sporty. Let's leave sporty to well, sports. When out and about on a daily basis, choose something sexy and stylish.

I recently discovered there are some things in life you do not want to scrimp on.

Sunglasses are one of those things.

I possess two pair of good quality sunglasses. A pair of Ray Bans for the sporty me, and a pair of Tiffany's for all other outings. Both have cases and both stay in their cases when not worn. Of very good quality, I couldn't imagine not having them. I once had a girlfriend who wore her Dolce and Gabbana's while riding her Harley.She understood what it meant to ride a Harley and maintain her lady like qualities. I for one am grateful for both of my pricey but very well made sunglasses. Aside from style, look into protection as well. An expensive pair of sunglasses will mean nothing if they don't protect your eyes from the sun. Do yourself a favor and spend the money on a really good pair. You'll be glad you did.

I have received no compensation for these shameless plugs to Tiffany's. I'm just a very big fan of their styles.

So glad to be back...

2014-03-21T21:40:00.001-07:00

onto the blogging forum! It's been a long time and anyone who knows me knows I hated not being able to blog about the over forty fashions and how to go about creating a classy existence. It's been a rough year and a half. After discovering that my blog was hacked by a bot of some sorts I gave up attempting to fix my site and came back to blogspot finally. Any hoo, so glad to be back and be prepared for whats coming. A lot has changed for me so have a look at these pics and see if perhaps you can guess what's coming?

Crazy mix huh? Keep reading and I'll clue you in. Till tomorrow!!

Fitness and Fashion Don't Always Go Together

2013-09-05T18:08:00.000-07:00

Some would be bothered to frequent the gym among lavishly clad gym goers but these days, it's not uncommon to see someone wearing the latest in fashionable workout gear. It appears to have become the norm to see female gym goers in yoga capris. I wear them myself and do so proudly as I've managed to slim down my mid-section, butt and thighs. You can only imagine my excitement at learning those lumps I see on my legs are muscles. My muscles grow bigger with each workout and I'm loving it. I can finally see the days of figure and bikini competitions in my future. Thought I'd post a few of my favorite pieces of workout gear here. Enjoy and keep moving.

Urban Xover C/D by Moving Comfort®
$44.00
I have this bra in both green and orange. I love the adjustable wide straps as this helps with being large busted. A great fit, but runs a bit small. I purchased a medium at first but had to exchange for a large because it's a small fit even for a D cup.

Odyssey Chaturanga™ Yoga Knicker

$59.00

I love these yoga capris. They come in a couple of different colors and is true to size. You can both of these at Athleta.com

Enjoy your workout in gear that makes you comfortable. And remember to dress the way you want to look. If you're hitting the gym in frumpy wear, you're gonna feel frumpy and maybe not so great. Get in there, work it hard and come out feeling great. See you tomorrow.

I'm BACCCKKK! Again.

2013-03-28T10:23:00.002-07:00

Wow, life has been so muddled lately and I've been killing myself trying to stay afloat. Well, I'm back on track. New job, new love, new home and new me. Happy to be blogging again and even happier to be back in school. What more could a girl ask for? Blog pics of course. Coming soon, I promise. Love and hugs, K

Changes

2012-11-21T20:10:00.001-08:00

Yes, I've done it. I've gone back to red. Hope you like it.

Thin Tops and Wavy Hair

2012-11-21T00:56:00.000-08:00

Rushing around to get to work in the morning because someone kept you up all night? Yeah, me neither. But, I was still running around trying to find something decent to wear and driving myself crazy because I didn't fold and put away laundry yesterday like I swore I would do. Not to mention I needed to put waves in my hair to keep from wearing a bun to work again. So I wound up wearing this top, purchased on sale at Old Navy at a 75% off sale. I liked the color and feel of the fabric. It's very lightweight and now I see why. It's also very thin. Of course this allows the fabric to drape in all the right places, but still, it's thin.

Put together with jeans and flats I felt somewhat casual for my last day at work before the holiday. I needed that today.

It's Monday...

2012-11-19T08:04:00.000-08:00

and I woke up with a smile on my face and a great outlook for the day. Bring it on! Some great conversation and a relaxed weekend helped push me into Monday with an air of happiness. This is a very short week for work and I'm excited to see what the four day weekend will bring. Looking forward to good food and the company of loved ones and friends.

For the longest time now I've been trying to find a way to wear this bolero type jacket. It may be one of those pieces I will have to donate if I can't find more ways than one to wear it. That's one of the perks of shopping your closet. You have a better handle on what you really should keep and what you just need to get rid of. How do you like the skirt? I scored this deal at Target over the weekend. On clearance for $11.48 and a Target gift card for $10, gave it to me at a steal of $1.48. It's a bit long for my taste but with sheer stockings and a black t-shirt, I think the outfit came together.

Don't you just love it when your hair does exactly what you want it to? I wanted a soft long look and look what happened. I got just what I asked for. Thank you hair gods for listening. I really didn't want to do a high bun again today, although I think it would have made this look a bit more polished. I just didn't want to feel school marmish today.

It's just me, a cup of joe and some Joss Stone this morning. All my employees have taken the week off to enjoy their families. It should be a very quiet day and week, something I'm in need of.

Friday Wrap Up

2012-11-16T17:09:00.000-08:00

Another cool morning here in San Diego called for another cardigan. Surely you can see I'm a layering kind of girl. When I lived in Monterey many years ago I layered all the time. You simply have to layer when you live right on the bay. It was beautiful there and the weather was nice nearly all the time, it's just the wind and cool air would insist that you put on multiple layers and they weren't always fashionable either. I'm hoping I broke that pattern living close to San Diego.

Thursday Neutrals

2012-11-15T19:02:00.000-08:00

Do you ever feel like Thursday should be a neutral day? Well, I always feel that way. To me, Thursday is a neutral day, thus I'm wearing neutrals. I actually copied this look from here. J's Everyday Fashion is definitely one of my inspiration go to's.

Most of the time it's difficult to decide which pics you leave in and which ones to cut out. Today, no problem. This chambray top feels a bit too small in the chest area so I worry all the time about showing boobage. Today was one of those days. Many shots of boobage. M would have liked to see that. Not going to happen today, sorry. I cut them all out. The pics with the boobage that is.

I liked this combination of neutral colors and decided it was worth the try. Not exactly the same as J's Everyday Fashion, but hey, I thought we're supposed to find inspiration not be copy cats. Although I can do copy cat too, soooo easily.

Exhausted But Still Standing

2012-11-14T16:33:00.001-08:00

If I look tired, let me tell you, I am. It was an exhausting evening after an exhausting day. For those of you who were concerned, no need to worry now. The lump I found turned out to be a cyst and the doctor quickly aspirated it to give me some mental relief yesterday afternoon. Thank you to M for accompanying me to the doctor mid afternoon. I really appreciate your coming when I needed you to be there. That reason for my exhaustive evening was also a good thing, so rest assured all is good on the home front. Kim is a happy camper for now.

Another cool morning led me to pull out one of my favorite cardigans. I have many, so I'm telling you, I'm about to do an all out kibosh on spending for clothing for 60 days soon. I have way too much clothing and I really do need to go back through it all to relieve my poor closet rods. What better time to do it than the upcoming winter months. San Diego weather isn't all that bad, but it does help when trying to decide what layering pieces you want to keep or not.

I love this blue with a dark gray and black.

That Kind of Day...Again

2012-11-12T19:55:00.002-08:00

Every day I wake up hoping for a day better than yesterday. Today was not to be that day. I've been feeling especially sick lately and still trying to get in my daily workout really puts me in starvation mode. I hate not eating. Eating is one of my favorite things to do, but I can gain some serious weight really fast if I don't watch it. The gym is a must but the gym here at the apartment complex is really just for maintenance. So, I'm back at 24 hour fitness.

I always feel better after a workout but with the rapid weight loss of late, I just felt drained. I thought it best to relax a bit longer and I had the day off anyway, so why not? When I did finally get up to get things done, appointments and visiting a friend, I decided this ensemble fit the bill. I wanted to be relaxed and polished at the same time, Jennifer Aniston style. What once were tight jeans are now loose, boyfriend jeans style, so I rolled the hem up and put on my sneakers. It was too cold for sandals and too warm for UGGS. The sneakers fit the bill.

V-Neck T from Target, Blazer also from Target, Belt from Old Navy, Necklace-DIY and Earrings from Target.

Yes, my hair is up in a bun again. I love it. When I don't have time to style my hair it goes up in a bun. I use this little squishy thingy from Target. You can find it over where the Goodie headbands are. I receive compliments on it all the time. I don't use it like the regular sock bun. I pull the bun thingy all the way to the end of my ponytail and begin rolling it towards my head. That gives me the perfect bun and you don't really need to use bobby pins to hold it in place, but I like to because I move my head and body a lot these days. I want it to stay up.

Aren't I the perfect cross between messy and polished? I like it and I'm usually pretty happy with this sort of look. Speaking of my bad self, I got word today that it's not me! Yay! Thought I was going crazy again.

On a serious note though, I do need to plug something here. Please, please, please do your regular self breast exams. I just found another lump yesterday and have to go back to the doctor a few times this week to see if it can be aspirated or if it's the real thing. Its huge and it hurts a little which is different than the last time. No worries all, I'll be fine. I always am. I'll keep you posted.

Love and hugs to my peeps, you know who you are:-)

Such a Beautiful Day

2012-11-10T21:13:00.000-08:00

Who knew this morning when I got up to head out I would have such a wonderful day?

I headed out for an event at Camp Pendleton this morning to meet someone who could help me. I had no idea how, but suffice it to say he did. He made me see things I would never have seen without a man pointing it out to me. Everything is very clear to me now and when I later discussed it with my girl Mia, we agreed, this man knows what he's talking about. It took a wounded veteran to show me how valuable I am as a person and a woman. Thank you NB, it was a pleasure to meet you and thank you for both the wisdom and reading my blog;-)

And I can't say this enough. Loreal's BB cream is wonderful. I know I've said it a few times already, but I just love how my skin is really looking so much better these days. The pic up top was taken this morning and the one below was taken around 9pm tonight. I think it holds up quite well. Even though my ex would tell me all the time I didn't need it, a girl still wants to look good for herself if anything. This cream is great and is similar to the tinted moisturizers we used in Europe. Loving it.

Today felt like an orange shoe kind of day. And believe me I got noticed. So many compliments from women and men. Shoes-Urban Outfitters, khaki skinnies, belt-ON, Cami-Kohls, Silk top-Banana Republic, Cardigan-NY&C, Earrings-Target, K Necklace-DIY and Bubble locket-Whimsical Willows Boutique.

Movie Night

2012-11-09T17:00:00.000-08:00

Movie Night is something I haven't done in a very long time. Going to the movies takes a big bite out of your budget and when you support a family of five on one income it's very difficult for everyone to go often. So we just didn't go. Now that my family situation has changed I still have to live on a budget but now going to the movies is actually included in that. Movies at the movie theater, what a treat! Having two friends tag along makes it even better. To start, it's understood, NO ONE talks during the movie. Why pay that much money to go see a movie to have someone talk all the way through it? Ugh, annoying, I dislike it when we're watching movies at home too. Secondly, coffee afterwards to discuss the movies highlights. And lastly, everyone must share their goodies during the movie. I won't be indulging because of my upset stomach.

Can you tell I'm kinda ick right now?

I have this thing about being cold in a movie theater. A light cardigan or jacket is a must. I decided to wear this lightweight sweater I grabbed at a 75% off sale at Old Navy. It looks pink here but it's really more of a bright peachy color. I'm also loving Loreal's BB creme. No more heavy makeup. Feels light on my skin. And it's just my color.

Hanes men's tank under the sweater. Victoria's Secret London Jean, Old Navy flats and earrings from Target.

Comfy movie wear. In case you're wondering, I'm down 14 pounds today. Of course it's mostly stress and flu related but I'm back in the gym tomorrow hopefully. The Pho really helped. I even had leftovers for today. Yay! No more thunder thighs!

Did anyone see Ellen D do the dance for all of us sick at home today?

Rainy Days and Pho

2012-11-08T15:44:00.002-08:00

It was rainy and nasty out this morning as I headed to work. No bother, I kind of felt like wearing a jacket anyway. Stuck with the basics to keep from having to think about it too much as my brain has been bleeding from all the drama of late. You ever have that feeling that you made a bad decision so long ago and there just seems to be no way it will be resolved quickly? Sometimes that's just the way it is. There's no rhyme or reason to it, it just is.

Funny how when you throw on a blazer suddenly everyone takes you seriously? What's that all about?

Neutrals for meetings always works.

Wearing my new favorite shoes again.

Straight clean lines is what I wanted today. I would say I succeeded. Wouldn't you? On my way to get Pho with friends. So need it after not posting yesterday. This flu is kicking my butt. Early dinner and then early to bed for a date with my Kindle.

A Day at the Courthouse

2012-11-06T17:32:00.001-08:00

Let me just say this, anytime you think you're going to spend any length of time at a government office of some kind, be prepared with reading material and comfortable clothes. Realizing that I need to just give in and give him what he wants, I filed for divorce today. That's never easy and if I look like a schlep, well, that's because I feel like one. I had no idea it would take that long to fill out, proof read and file documents. So I was there nearly the whole day. Not a fun experience but one thing I kept thinking is thank goodness I dressed comfortably.

The weather maintained an even temp today which was great for what I had on. I'm glad I walked outside this morning to gauge the weather.

I'm telling you, DMV, courthouse, SS office, whatever, get comfy.

New Shoes and Split Ends

2012-11-05T16:14:00.000-08:00

Can I just say right now how much I love these shoes? Love, love, love em! They bring me such joy and one fella even told me how great my legs look today. It's the shoes I tell ya! I captured these puppies on a trip with my girl M to Ross one afternoon. I was so giddy with joy at the selection of shoes to choose from. I had to make only one selection because the old pocketbook was screaming. These shoes just called out to me to take them home and wear them on my pretty feet.

I played dress up in an oversize shirt today. Mostly because I'm tired of my chest popping the top buttons on my blouse all the time. I bought this top from Marshall's oh so long ago and have never worn it. I thought it would look great in a slouchy sort of way, so on it went with my staple black skirt and tank. I really, really wanted to wear the shoes today so I figured they would go whether they really did or not. I thought this outfit appropriate for a briefing to the Battalion Commander. I love my job! And it feels great to be back in the saddle again.

Skirt, Tank-ON, Shoes-Nine West c/o Ross, Blouse-Marshall's, Earrings-Gifted from my girl Tiff.

Happy Shoes were calling out to me, "Take me, take me home, please." What else could I do?

I want to say I'm grateful for Nexxus Salon Hair Care Pro-Mend Split End Binding. After just one use my hair is sleek and manageable. I love it. See how pretty? The hair cut helps too.

Other Patterns and Friday Wrap Up

2012-11-02T20:19:00.001-07:00

Another great day to end another great week. Maybe not so much for outfits but overall on the career front, it turns out there's a reason to celebrate. I can't divulge the news just yet, but suffice it to say, things are looking up. I look forward to what the future holds.

On another note, glad to hear my family on the East coast is getting by okay. My thoughts and prayers are with those who still struggle with the aftermath of Sandy and thank heavens so many are getting through.

Monday

Tuesday
Not an outfit I know, but I'm happy with how my lanterns turned out.

Feeling Pretty

2012-11-01T16:38:00.001-07:00

Do you ever have one of those days when someone makes you feel um mm....not so pretty? There's a reason why people do that and without delving too deep into their psyche, suffice it to say, it makes them feel better. No bother, drive on. There are plenty of people in the world who think you are totally awesome. I learned that today and the revelation came from a very unlikely source. So many surprises lately.

We can't control what others are going to think of us. Even the prettiest of people, those the media tells us are beautiful, are not the prettiest to everyone. Someone once said to me, "show me the most beautiful, most desirable woman in the world and I'll show you a man who doesn't care for her." You simply can't do anything about those in the world who are going to dislike you no matter how pretty, personable or charismatic you are. So if you go through life believing in yourself and working to be happy with you, the rest will follow.

Happiness is being barefoot with braids. I'm certain of it.

Is anyone else stuck with loads of Halloween candy?

Boots Weather

2012-10-31T18:37:00.000-07:00

Yes, it was cold enough this morning to put on my boots. I love wearing boots because it just feels like I'm getting over some how. Especially my flat boots. No tripping or carefully placed steps to worry about. Even with heeled boots there seems to be a bit of relief from the worry that I will come out of my shoes or cramping and achy feet. A mix of casual and dressy was in store for today as it is finally cooling off in San Diego.

And in case you were wondering what kept me from posting an outfit yesterday? I was painting lanterns. I love this turquoise blue paint I bought a couple of months ago with the intention of painting my bedroom side tables. Not sure what color I'll give them now, but I still plan to paint them. The lanterns look so cute in this color I think it's best to make the side tables a different color. Perhaps I'll get to that next weekend.

Before, rusty and glass pushed out.

All shiny and blue.

Wants and Things

2012-10-30T19:53:00.000-07:00

Looking forward to trying the new BB creams that are flooding the market. I may just go out tonight and grab some to try for a product review. I want.

I have a similar pair, but these don't look nearly as hard to walk in.(Zappos) I want.

Michael Kors Aviators and Chronograph Watch. (Nordstrom Rack) I want.

And Things...

All from Ikea.

I'll be back with outfit posts tomorrow and possibly a pic of what I've done today:-))

Grey Monday

2012-10-29T15:37:00.002-07:00

Yes, these jeans are a tad bit large on my now. I was surprised to see how loose they were this morning. But time was of the essence and I figured it didn't matter, it's Monday. I think everyone would completely understand if I walked into work wearing my Elmo pajamas, right? Unwashed hair = Sock bun! I love it that my hair is getting higher and higher.

Even though the sun is shining outside it's a grey Monday for me. I still have homework to complete, ugh, and I got a late start out the door this morning thereby grabbing the first thing I saw, which was this combo of too big jeans and too small top (set your clothes out the night before!!). As a result of this hurried hurriedness, I have been uncomfortable all day. Typically I wear this top with a tee underneath and a few buttons left undone. I just simply didn't have the time this morning. I actually wore this outfit with a big gray chunky sweater for most of the day because it is so cold in my office and it was pretty chilly as I stepped out of the house this morning. Leave the office and suddenly the sweater looks a little weird. Pics are sans sweater. Trust me, it's better this way:-)

Unusual Saturday Postings

2012-10-27T13:28:00.002-07:00

I know, right?! I only decided that since I am home anyway, I might as well post. The intention today was to go to a charity poker run, but after learning that the quiz's I posted to class last night were the wrong ones I had to scramble this morning to complete the correct quiz's. Fun be gone. As a result of staying home I got sidetracked as usual and well, here you have the results of my getting sidetracked.

While I have you here, there is something I've been meaning to address since a friend brought it up. She mentioned to me the other day that she liked my blog, "but, most women over the age of 40 don't look like you Kim." So, given that, I wanted to make something very clear. I don't expect anyone to attempt to look like me. The primary intention of this blog is to help myself, first and foremost, figure me out. I'm no expert at anything; my life is lived by trial and error. If I happen to get some really great advise from someone and it works for me, so be it. That makes me happy. If I fail, then I learn from that mistake and drive on.
I realize like so many of you, that I am different. I don't fit into anyone's mold nor do I meet everyone's expectations. I am imperfect and prone to making mistakes. On the flip side of that thought, it is my hopes that someone over the age of forty will look at my successes and failures and learn from them or help improve on them. That's why we have the comments section below.
Furthermore, this blog, while titled and geared to a specific age group, really isn't solely intended for us old folk. Luckily, fashion in recent years has begun to blur the lines between generations (yay). You hear it all the time, 40 is the new 30 and 50 is the new 40. I'm not trying to prolong my younger years. I'm simply trying to dress better with my age progression and create a confidence within myself. Let's face it, we all get in a rut at times. Some of us crawl out of it and move on. Others need a bit more shoving. I hope that whatever your needs or intentions are when you read this blog, you get something, anything from it. Thus far all feedback has been wonderful and that's why I continue to post. I like the person within me that emerges once I post my photos. I'm not lost to myself and that's something that is really important to us all. I hope you continue to have a great weekend and it's quite possible that if I complete my homework today, I'll post again tomorrow.

These jeans are so old the buttons on the pockets have fallen off. To refashion old jeans simply roll up the pants legs. Because the neck of this top is so wide, I'm uncomfortable wearing alone. Layer a tank underneath. Today the weather is such that I can do that.

Casual Friday with a Wrap Up

2012-10-26T16:21:00.000-07:00

What a week it's been. I have to say I am very pleased with my selections this week. I didn't think I could possibly find anything new to wear out of what I already had. Look, I managed. I bet I could do even more from what's in that dark abyss of a closet of mine. So get ready. I wore my Old Navy jeans twice this week. Casual Friday dictated it. Hey, they were clean!

So, day four of my dirty hair and I had to wear it with a headband. I can't take it anymore and at this point the only real options are to tease the hell out of it and slap it behind a headband. No worries. It didn't bother me, but I seriously need to wash it tonight for sure. I finally get to go on a Poker Run for charity this weekend. Plan on enjoying myself. I hope you all have a good weekend. Caio!!

Slouch Wear

2012-10-25T16:07:00.000-07:00

Do you ever notice how you feel when you're wearing your slouch wear? I always feel somewhat blah, blah and blah. I decided that even though I was wearing slouch wear today, I wasn't going to look like I was wearing slouch wear. I started out in sweats, my mens hanes tank and flip flops. Let's upgrade, shall we?

My jeans are thrifted from the Salvation Army. I paid a whole $2 for them. They are a bit loose now because I've lost another two pounds, so they add a bit of slouchyness to my look. My mens hanes white tank, is swapped out for this one from Aeropastle. I traded my flip flops for flats and added a cardigan. And there you have it, my slouch wear is now going out to run errands wear. Day three of my dirty hair finds it up in a high sock bun. Add earrings and a necklace and you have an attitude change. Now I feel like conquering the world! Ok, not the world, just a few errands:-)

That's right, change your attitude by changing a few items in your wardrobe. It really is that simple.

Prime and Mud

2012-10-24T17:55:00.000-07:00

That's right, it's Wednesday and every Wednesday at Black Angus is Prime and Mud night (I received no compensation for that shameless plug). Don't be hatin! I'm so happy to meet my friends for dinner. Yay! How cliche is it for me to be wearing leather? For me? Totally doable. I'm going to a steakhouse, to eat steer, wearing leather. Well, faux leather that is. What a way to end a stressful day. To work early, got loads done. Then the afternoon turns into, well, bull hockey. No bother, someone once said when you think you got it bad channel your energy into helping someone who really does have it bad. I don't know who said that, but I read somewhere that someone said that. I did just that, I channeled my energy and time into someone else who is going through something similar. We both feel much better now. Thanks LT. I appreciate you trusting me to do the listening for a change.

These are my favorite jeans, with my favorite booties and my favorite faux leather jacket. You've seen me wear this top before here. You know that's why the morning was so great. I was dressed in favorites! Can you tell this is day two for my dirty hair? That's right, my girl N wants me to see how long I can go without washing my hair before I absolutely have to either wash it or use some sort of dry shampoo or product to get it to not look dirty. We'll see how long it takes before I break. After all, I'm a wash my hair everyday kind of girl.
