I just got back from a five-day cruise to Cozumel, Mexico, and Bimini, The Bahamas, AKA The Riviera Maya, with Virgin Voyages. It was a blast, and I felt I packed very well. I wanted to share what I wore on my Virgin Voyages cruise as an over-40, size 14/16 petite woman. Why I’m Sharing…
Welcome back to the Starting Style from Scratch series: caring for your closet! There’s no point in spending a single dime on your closet if you don’t have the tools and methods to care for it properly.

I live in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., which means it can be shorts weather well into October. That being said, there are some items in my closet that I don’t feel comfortable wearing beyond Labor Day, AKA the unofficial end of summer.

Marketed as original espadrilles, high quality, and high style, I wanted to know for sure, are Soludos espadrilles worth the hype?
