Welcome

Hi Everyone and Welcome to my Beyond Fashion Newsletter.

Today I am covering the topic of Mid-Life Dressing.

This is something like most things “It just creeps up on you”.

I have always been lucky throughout my life that I could wear most clothes.
What I chose to buy in my youth was based on trends and having fun.
Then in my 30s and 40s I kinda found my groove and got a sense of what worked for me.

Now suddenly like an overnight pimple I’m realising buying clothes that excite me has become much harder.
Initially I thought the clothes in some of my favourite shops weren’t great, but now I am coming to the realisation it’s not the clothes it’s me!!
A shift in shape, muscle tone and posture can result in clothes fitting differently…I’m getting old.

What to do?

I can go to shops that cater for “older people” with pink gilets and floral scarves…No Thank You.
I still want to be relevant, stylish and feed off the energy clothes give.

It’s at this point in life so many women give up and resign from fashion and become invisible.
But don’t…it’s so important to your psyche, your confidence and your energy.

There are clothes out there for everyone, regardless of your shape, size or age that are fashionable.
You may have to re-evaluate and make some changes as to where you shop, rethink the clothes you buy, and give more consideration to quality and fit but you can still look amazing.

I guess as you get older everything requires a bit more effort and that’s the challenge!!

The power of being well dressed and how it makes you feel is priceless so never give up.❤️
