if you’ve reached the age of 57, you know there were many frogs kissed along the way. but what a great metaphor for our style journey. who hasn’t made a few fashion mistakes in their day? but hey, you gotta kiss those frogs from time-to-time. they just might transform into a prince. take this white topper that my husband claims is a dead-ringer for a lab coat. but what i love is the 3/4 length, and the cute inset in the back. this time of year, with temps all over the map it’s the perfect topper for a pair of blue jeans. throw on a striped tee, a few baubles, and bam! this ootd has transformed into instant chic.
i wanted to quickly share with you a campaign i had the privilege to participate with. it’s chico’s ‘hello, i’m fabulous’ campaign that celebrates women of ‘a certain age.’ i couldn’t be happier to see brands supporting all women, of all ages, and all sizes. we’re all so unique. and i have to say, it’s a great day to be 57! check out the interview on chico’s – inside chic:
there’s also a youtube feature:
i will try to slip in a behind the scenes post sometime in the near future so stay tuned! it was so much fun being on location in l.a.. and i met so many amazing women (and men)! i’m always a little amazed and in awe of what doors this blog has opened. thank you, for coming along the journey with me!

I love your “lab” coat! The texture and the detailing on the back steps it up a notch. xoxo

Love the outfit….I just purchased quite a few outfits for summer at Chico’s last week!….Love their off the shoulder tops….looked great even on this 60+ gal!
i could probably buy everything in the store at the moment. lots of fun things to choose from. i bet you look adorable in the cold shoulder top. or maybe i should say sexy!

I am in love with your white coat! And even though it has now been suggested that it could be a lab coat, I still don’t see it that way.
Congrats on the campaign with Chico’s! Can’t wait to see behind the scenes.
