items Getting dressed for work is always a challenge, especially as we get older. My goal is to wear something comfortable, yet stylish. I'm currently envisioning Carolyn Bessette when I get dressed since I'm obsessed with “Love Story,” the JFK Jr./Carolyn Bessette biopic. She had amazing style! I would like to try to post an outfit of the day, but I know I won't be that consistent, so just going with Outfits I Love.
If you like the Anthropologie Somerset dress, which looks great on so many body types, you will love this dress that’s amazing quality for about half the price. It has a lined skirt and a beautiful woven pattern. Lovely for so many seasons - with a j...
BTFBM Womens Summer 2026 Casual Midi Maxi Dress
When you’re tired of black pants and jeans, reach for these cropped, olive green pants. They are made of a nice quality, stretchy material that holds its shape. I love the way they fit and flatter!
miduo Womens High Waisted Cropped Wide Leg Pants
If you like the style of the Anthro Somerset dress (which looks good on almost every body type), then you will love this dress as much as I do. If is so comfortable, so flattering and can be dressed up or down. It comes in many, many colors and there is also a sleeveless version. Just an amazing one and done dress to have in your wardrobe!
ZESICA Women's 2026 Summer V Neck Maxi Dress
I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this super stretchy “bike short” type undergarment. Unlike the really popular “other” brand that is so tight and impossible to get on and off, these high waisted undergarments are light as a feather and so stretchy. Great under dresses anytime, but in the summer especially. Helps smooth out your figure, eliminates panty lines and just makes you feel great in your dress!

An accordion pleat skirt is a versatile piece to add to your wardrobe because it can be dressed up or down, looks great on just about any body type and really elevates your look. I was inspired to pull out my accordion pleat skirt when I saw this adorable 81-year-old influencer on social media (@vivithecarer) who was inspired by a 20-something woman she saw wearing a similar skirt. So it's a style that spans the generations and looks great on everyone! The link to this skirt on Amazon is similar to the one I have.
Basoteeuo Womens Accordion Pleat Midi Skirt
My favorite sunnies! I got these oval-shaped sunglasses last summer and they have quickly become my go-to pair! They complement my small face nicely. They are lightweight, but not cheap. They've held up with me throwing them in my bag without putting them in a case and putting them on and off my head (which sometimes stretches out glasses, but not these). I'm so glad this frame shape is back in style again. And the gold rims are love...

WERFORU Women Skinny Retro Stretch Belt Set
I have re-discovered Ann Taylor. Not Ann Taylor Loft (which I love), but the more dressed up, businesswear-focused brand. Ann Taylor carries the simple basics that everyone needs – the black pants, and even the matching black jacket to make a suit, the nice blouses, the nicer sweate... Everyone should have a few of these pieces in their closet for when a dressy occasion comes up. I've gotten two pairs of black pants at Ann Taylor in the last six months, and I love that they have petites since I'm 5'4" on a good day. I don't have to get these pants shortened, which is the best! The Perfect Wide Leg Flare pants are amazing - great fit, great silhouette, and so versatile.

When you want to look polished, this cardigan/jacket fills the bill! I'm always drawn to stripes, and the gold buttons on this piece just bring it up a notch. I love the beige and white stripe with white corduroys this time of year since it's still cold in New England, but it's March so you want a lighter look! Add some sand colored suede, wedge heel booties and you have a pulled together, yet comfy look! Voila!

Everyone is Irish on St Patrick’s Day! I love the happy spring green color of this lightweight Teddie sweater. Got tons of compliments on it today! And there are many more colors to choose from!
Cotton Teddie Sweater For Women
It was almost 70 degrees in Boston today on March 10, a weather record! It was finally warm enough to wear a skirt and a lighter sweater maybe for one day. I love the colors in this long, flowy floral skirt. I'm 5'4" on a good day, and the skirt hits around my ankles. Great for this time of year, and I can wear it with sandals or flip flops this summer.
Chiffon Elastic High Waist Pleated Maxi Skirt
This white t-shirt is the PERFECT layering piece. It has a nice wide rim around the collar which makes it look nice under sweaters and jean jackets. It has some spandex in it so it fits really nicely. I have a couple white ones in size small and one in size medium. I'm planning to get a few black on... It's always a good idea to replace your white and black tees once every year or two if you wear them on repeat like me.

The patch pocket Lizzie pants from J. Crew are my go-to pant for the office where I work, which is business casual. I have the white corduroy which is nice for this time of year when it's still cold in New England, but it's March and you want a lighter look! I also have the red velour which I wore a ton during the holidays and then again around Valentine's day. These pants are a 10 out of 10 for my body type, especially petites!

So versatile! If you live in New England, these boots are a MUST HAVE. I think I wore these almost every day this past winter. And it’s now April and I’m still wearing them! You can dress them up or down. They are comfy and look great with pants, ski...

Just a little touch of leopard goes a long way. Hands down my favorite belt ever! Add this to jeans and a black sweater and it instantly elevates it! So fun, so cute. I like the wider width of this belt so it shows up a little better. Try it, you’l...

A few years ago, I learned a great travel trick and that is to wear the same outfit every time you travel. My travel uniform includes my Spanx Air Essentials pants which are buttery soft, sooo comfortable and help me look pulled together on the plane...

Back in the 80’s and 90’s, I wore Tretorns all the time. I actually wore them to play tennis which was what they originally were designed for, I believe. I’m so happy to see they are making a comeback. They are super comfortable and fit well on my na...
