Nowadays, it seems that the end-of-summer weather is still too warm even after Labor Day to wear the Fall clothes that our society expects. During this time, I like to explore seasonal colors to get in the mood. And then when we’re in the swing of Autumn with crisp, cool temperatures followed by the cold Winter, our clothing colors automatically change to match the natural world around us. (See my Style Tip on How to Dress With the Changing Seasons HERE.) No matter what the weather, I’m here today to help you find out how to combine the new Fall/Winter fashion colors now and later in bold and creative ways. Age doesn’t matter.

I’m normally not a hoodie person, but lately it has been so cold. A friend thoughtfully provided some hoodies to my husband and I before we went out one morning to rally for a local cause. We enjoyed these so much for their comfort and warmth! I then began looking for more ways to wear my hoodies: this new one and the other three I already had. So now I have over 40 outfit ideas to share with you. Age doesn’t matter, as you will see.
Besides ways to wear pullover hoodies, zip-front hoodies and hoodie cardigans, I’m starting right off with a style tip.

As part of my Fall/Winter Evening Series, I’m adding this post on how to wear a sequin top or topper because they are look makers. And I surely wouldn’t do without my sequin t-shirt! Actually, I consider a sequin tee an essential wardrobe item for day, night and year round. It’s that versatile and so much fun!
Besides the t-shirt, I also own a couple of sequin tank tops, a couple of long-sleeve sequin tops and a sequin shirt. I use the t-shirt a lot. The long-sleeve tops are great for layering day or night, so they’re pretty useful. I reserve the shirt for evening wear, but it doubles as a jacket when left unbuttoned so I consider it worth having. It makes a sequin jacket or blazer unnecessary for my casual lifestyle. All these items do come in handy often enough for me to recommend them as part of an evening wardrobe.
Age doesn’t matter. Older is bolder, so go ahead and sparkle whenever you get the chance!
