Because of it’s lasting popularity, athleisure has now become a classic style.  You can buy luxe athletic clothes or dress up athletic clothes that you already own.  In this post, I will explore how to embellish your sweatpants.

Here’s what one retail analyst told Vogue Business:

“We are reluctant to continue calling [athleisure] a trend… much in the same way that denim is not a trend,” said Mintel retail analyst Chana Baram. “Rather, sports clothing is embedded in the fashion world.” – from Vogue Business

No matter where you go, day or night, or even if you want to lounge at home looking classy, not frumpy — you can wear sweatpants and look great doing it!  Add a special top, topper, scarf, jewelry and/or footwear for a modern and stylish look.  Mix and match your sweatpants with evening wear or business clothes.  Those pieces that you save for special occasions can be made wearable any time by combining them with sweatpants.  So let’s take a look at how to wear sweatpants when you’re not at the gym!

Why Is Style Important, Even Now?

When the Coronavirus invaded our world, fashion and style seemed to pale in comparison to the serious issues that we suddenly had to deal with.  Many fashion bloggers wondered if what they had to offer was important.  So why is style important, even now?  I found some answers.

The first thing that I thought to do as a fashion and lifestyle blogger for women over 60 (age doesn’t matter; we all have the same basic needs) was to address the issues of health and well being, physically and emotionally.  But then, I wanted to reassure you that style is indeed important.  I am talking personal style here, not fashion.  We don’t need to keep up with the latest fashions during a pandemic.

“Fashion is not art; it’s the art of living.” — Marc Jacobs

But style is artistic and creative.  And creativity and art are personally fulfilling and inspirational, thereby reducing stress — something needed especially at a time like this.  It is good for your mental and emotional health to distract yourself from anxious thoughts and focus on something pleasurable.

Also, color and crystals are healing therapies.  We can wear both to feel better.

So let’s explore further:  why is style important, even now? Continue Reading

How to Make 40 Outfits with a Faux Leather Skirt

One of the warmest ways to wear a skirt is to wear it in leather!  (But please always be sure it’s faux leather to be kind to animals.)  If you think it’s too sexy for you, take a look at the wide range of choices in the cut of the skirt, the colors it now comes in, and the cozy everyday ways it can be worn.  I have ideas here for how to make 40 outfits with a faux leather skirt.

Age doesn’t matter.  If it looks good on you, wear what you like!  More and more, anything goes.  Rules are constantly being broken.

Opposites look great together, as in leather and lace.  If a leather skirt seems tough to you, feminize it!  Wear it with a preppy or ladylike top and accessories if that’s what you like.  Suddenly the leather will give you a little bit of attitude, making you look more energetic, sexy and youthful.

Wear it your way.  Show your true self.  To get you started, here’s how to make 40 outfits with a faux leather skirt.  Use what you have and make them your own.
