Just got back from a 4-night getaway with my sister @debbiefaye78 at @curacaomarriottbeachresort. It was a last-minute planned trip that ended up being perfect. We weren’t ready to celebrate Thanksgiving without our mom and this escape what just what our hearts needed. 

I’ll be sharing more once I finally unpack my suitcase and organize my photos and thoughts; but I couldn’t not share this picture from yesterday morning. Debbie and I got up early to enjoy some of the day at the resort before flying home to DC. We had the infinity pool to ourselves, finished our books, and relaxed before a long day of travel. 🌴

It’s hard when you’re petite and most models aren’t; you have no idea how clothes, especially jeans will fit. To promote @universalstandard’s Denim Drive sale, the company sent me two pairs of jeans of my choice. And I chose to make this video to show how they fit on my 5’3” body. I am usually a 14/32 in jeans but at Universal Standard I wear a 12 because they’re super stretchy and generously sized. 

With jeans as low as $35 in sizes 00-40, this is a sale not to be missed. And use code INFS-BFALISON10 for an additional 10% off sitewide!

The Farrah Flare is a favorite because at my height, most flare jeans will lose what makes them special once hemmed. At a 30” inseam these are great with low heels or lug soles.

The Etta is a straight jean with a vintage fit. If in doubt size down. They’re also super stretchy and the 28” inseam (they also come in 31”) works with my boots and sneakers.

While I was provided the apparel in this Reel for free, I was not paid or contracted to create this content. Consider it a PSA for my fellow shorties shopping this fab denim sale!

Thanks to @talbotsofficial I’m ready for the holidays! #AD

I love Talbots for holiday fashion and this season’s new arrivals do not disappoint. And for Black Friday the entire site is 40% off with free shipping on orders $150+. Until noon, you also receive 50% off 1 regular price item!

I ordered pieces from the Talbots Holiday Collection and found great quality, great style, and great versatility. How cute is the Breton stripe bateau neck with the removable feather cuffs? The metallic plaid patio skirt is so fun, and these two dresses can glam up or dress down with a change of footwear and bag. For reference, I am wearing everything in either XL or 16 petite.

The ivory cords are also Talbots; the black trousers are from last year’s Talbots Holiday Collection showing how Talbots has lasting style. I’ve linked to exact or very similar in my LTK shop.

Working on the weekend is far more enjoyable when it’s in my office 💚

Perimenopause and the pandemic and homeschooling made our row home feel even smaller. So when neighbors revitalized an office building in our town center and offered individual offices for rent, I felt it would be good for business and personally. And I kept it when the world opened up and our kid went back to public school because it helps me have a clear start and end to the work day, but also because I created a space I really enjoy.

This weekend I went to the office to shoot some content. And once I was finished I enjoyed just sitting here, watching the light change. I think I may switch the furniture around, switch up the energy. I love that I can do that without consulting another or having another person’s opinions matter.

When you have a family, things go from me to we. I don’t regret leaving Corporate America to do this full time, but I do miss being part of a team. And I missed having an office, a place away from home that’s just for me. 

I wish more communities would offer rental offices like @thegranitebuilding. With reasonably affordable monthly rates, it doesn’t have to just be business owners who get office spaces. It can be a place to work on a hobby or craft, a place to WFH that’s not home, or a place to just read and write and nap undisturbed. A literal room of one’s own. Because sometimes a person needs time to be a me and not a we. 💚

You’re never too old for a Rory Gilmore sweater… this cotton fisherman sweater is from @llbean and inspired by @marielle.elizabeth I shopped the men’s department for a better size range. The influencer influenced the influencer!

The jeans are @landsend I got last year and I’m glad they brought them back this year in several washes, inseam lengths, and plus sizes. If in doubt, size down. They will shrink in length slightly but not anywhere else, they’re super comfy and stretchy but don’t stretch out. 

Kept the collegiate vibe going with a trucker cap, HOKAs, and my trusty commuter bag for years: the large @dagnedover Dakota backpack!

It’s Cozy Season, and @tjmaxx is here to update our wardrobes with stylish accessories and apparel from the best brands for less. #AD

I recently visited tjmaxx.com and was so impressed with the array of elevated designer labels, on-trend looks, and the best prices. This pearl-encrusted beanie is from a woman designer I have admired for years; tjmaxx.com has the matching gloves and other pieces from this label to make a great set for yourself or to gift another. These earrings I’ve seen from the same designer at department stores; in fact I own other earrings from this label and paid much more for them. I should have checked T.J.Maxx first! And this cozy poncho is the perfect layer for late fall in the DC area.

I love how the winter white pieces elevate my existing closet. And pearls can be worn for day or glam up for evening. I can see many ways I’ll be styling these designer accessories from #tjmaxx all season long!

My husband has a special backpack he fills with weight to wear while hiking; it’s called rucking. I wear a @dagnedover Dakota and fill it with my laptop, my iPad, a full water bottle, and my purse and walk to work; it’s called commuting. 💁🏻‍♀️

But seriously, I’ve had this backpack for five years. It has been shoved under plane seats, in overstuffed car trunks, under feet in the passenger seat. I’ve worn it as I’ve walked miles in major cities and from my house to my town center. My daughter also has a Dagne Dakota; it survived middle school and continues to work through camping, sleepovers, and road trips. It’s genially designed, comfortable, and can take a beating and still look great.

As for the rest of the look, the vest (XL) is a new purchase from @athleta; the Rainier tights (L) are also Athleta but two years old. The purple top is @nike and about a decade old. Hat is @llbean and it’s on sale for less than $15. And my trusty @hoka sneakers that have had their own set of adventures.

Cleaning out my mom’s house my sister and I have found some true gems. She had a whole portion of her file cabinet dedicated to my blogging career which included two copies of @redbookmag from ten years ago this month. 

There was a page where I and other blogger/influencers were featured wearing bright-colored coats. It’s awesome to see how we have all grown and pivoted in the past decade! I tagged those who are on Instagram and allow tagging ❤️

How to Style Ivory Courdory Pants with Talbots

This article may contain affiliate links; if you click on a shopping link and make a purchase I may receive a commission. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. 

Talbots invited me to check out their new arrivals with a focus on their fall pants selection. I was already eyeing Talbots Stretch Corduroy Flare Leg Pants after a recommendation by a member of the Wardrobe Oxygen Community, and I saw so many additional styles that I'd like to wear this season.

Those corduroy flare pants? They're so popular they were in stock when I requested a pair for this review, but by the time the order was received, they were again sold out (don't worry, they're back in stock). Just an example of how stylish and successful Talbots pants collection is this season.

I tried the Talbots Greenwich Pants in-store and loved how they were comfortable yet refined ponte, feeling like athleisure but looking polished enough for the workplace or a social occasion. And I personally liked the idea of a pair of straight-leg corduroys this fall. With the return to style classics (thank you Princess Diana nostalgia and Quiet Luxury), straight leg cords in ivory sounded pretty fantastic.

How to Style Ivory Corduroy Pants

The Talbots Stretch Corduroy Straight Leg Pants are available in 10 colors, and Misses, Petite, Plus, and Plus Petite sizing from 2-24. They are also available in a curvy fit. Not wanting these too tight, especially in a light color, I asked for these pants in a size 16 petite and am glad I went with this size.

Alison, an over 40 fashion blogger, is in ivory stretch corduroy jeans and a black turtleneck picking up a pumpkin from a grocery store display.

I have been a Talbots fan and customer for decades and my closet shows it. This look is a mix of current and past Talbots pieces that all looked great together with the addition of the ivory stretch corduroy pants. The black turtleneck is a previous year's version of the Talbots Perfect Turtleneck. The topper is the Double Faced Wool Blend Duster currently available at Talbots; I am wearing it in Petite Large.

I was thrilled to see this duster matches the orange leather tote I got from Talbots at the beginning of this year; you can see me style it this past February. I have Talbots bags that are years old and still look stylish and have the quality to endure. This leather satchel in Talbots current collection looks like another fantastic bag that is on trend this fall and remain stylish for years to come.

The leopard calfhair belt I've owned for many years… it may be from Talbots from before my daughter was born! Talbots has two lovely leopard calfhair belts this season; this one accented with gold and this one with brown leather trim.

This is a version of an outfit I've worn for years, though usually it's styled with jeans. Switching out denim for ivory corduroy elevates the look and gives a dressier vibe. I envision a piece at least three ways before adding them to my wardrobe. Here are some other ways I thought of styling the Talbots Stretch Corduroy Straight Pants:

  • With this denim boyfriend shirt. It can be worn untucked, bottom 1-2 buttons and top 2-3 buttons unbuttoned, or else tucked in, or a half tuck if you so desire. You can wear with loafers like these in any of the three colors or Chelsea boots like these (either color). For warmth, you could add this coatigan which gives me such a ‘Yellowstone' vibe.
  • With this sweater in really any of the colors, but I personally would pick indigo. I'd tuck in the front from first belt loop to first belt loop and again I'd pick these Chelsea boots in black and would add this belt and these classic hoops.
  • With this ribbed mockneck in ivory, and this sherpa shirt jacket over it. You can tuck in the mock neck or leave it out; a light-colored yet rugged boot like these would look good.
  • With this cableknit funnelneck sweater also in ivory, the sweater left untucked. Style with these cool gold loafers and these mixed-metal earrings that are so of the moment.
  • With this turtleneck in walnut and this longer cardigan open over it (digging the gold buttons for this season). Add this leopard belt for the most classic of pattern mixing, and these boots in dark brown.
  • This tee in and of the shades of brown or ivory, with this jacket, and this scarf (as a scarf or a belt). You could also replace that tee with a graphic t-shirt in your wardrobe and for shoes you could rock your favorite sneakers.
  • With this blazer. As for what goes underneath, it could be a lot of things. A graphic t-shirt, a Breton striped top, a denim shirt, a cashmere crewneck, or a turtleneck. For shoes, you could do any color of these suede loafers.

Why Consider Ivory Pants for Fall and Winter

Ivory is an elegant way to elevate your existing wardrobe. Corduroy is very on trend along with other cold-weather fabrics with texture like tweed and boucle, and also fits the classic vibe of this season. Machine wash and tumble dry low, you can feel comfortable wearing out for a coffee date and dribble your latte. Ivory looks great with other neutrals, but also looks stunning with neons, jewel tones, metallics, and icy pastels.

    I prefer wide leg pants (straight leg pants aren’t for everyone’s body shape) and a nice jacket of the same material so you could wear the turtleneck sweater underneath or shirt like jacket of the same material in colors that the pants come in would still allow for the turtleneck sweater to be worn underneath. These jackets/shirts would camouflage a body shape and give a neat look!

    This is one of MY favorite looks, but wear a crew neck instead of a turtleneck…can’t stand the constriction of a turtleneck! Sometimes even a mock turtle is too much. I’ve got these same cords. I’m 5’4” and sometimes wear an 8 regular and sometimes a 10 petite in Talbots pants in order to get the length just right. Love the quality of Talbots! I’ll be checking out your suggestions for alternate stylings.

    Nice pants! But as usual, Talbots does not offer any of their great new styles in a Tall inseam. I just don’t get it — it’s as if they’ve completely given up on that demographic, deciding instead to market to petites, curvy petites, regular, curvy regulars, and every other person but a tall one.

      Agree! There are no Tall Women departments in stores.

      There are only a few places to get Tall size clothing regularly.
      I’ve had good luck with Lands End.

      PS I still love this blog, even though it’s not geared to my tall self.

      I’m not even super tall (5’8″) and Talbots regular lengths are too short most of the time. I guess it’s not the retailer for me!

      Am am not technically a tall either (at 5’8-1/2″) and although I like to use Talbot’s as a ‘safe’ bet for straight leg jeans when in a pinch, they are always a tad short. I also find their jeans and corduroys stretch out too much and become baggy. I am trying the 90’s vintage straight jeans now at GAP and have had hit-and-miss success.

    Love the ivory cords, black turtleneck and leopard print belt on you, classic outfit, very current, and very flattering. Just a note- I got my Universal Standard mystery boxed -2- Aspen nights, and Lux box? loving the items. When I opened it, 2 ivory pieces, 4 black items, I was kind of bummed -no bright colors. But, then started trying on-heaven, a double breasted blazer with dress pants, black, ivory mock turtle neck ribbed sweater. Black ribbed knit pants, with black ribbed tank -yeah I look 2 sizes smaller- and a ivory ribbed sweater, to either layer over it, or create a wrapped top. Love the outfits, and they sent me 2 full outfits- heaven! Thanks for sharing Universal Standard, I am looking forward to their new collections, even though the mystery boxes have been discontinued. Have a blessed week!

    Lots of items to like this fall at Talbots.

    But I have to remind myself that (1) I’m only in the office 1 day/week & (2) I’m retiring in less than 2 years. So do I really need X?

    I am going to check the ponte pants out tho. They sound like something that would be nice & usable post-retirement.

    Question: did I miss info about the boots you are wearing? They look like what I’ve been looking for, & wh3n I searched Talbots I didn’t see them. Thx.

Another day of early voting for our city election, another outfit I wore as an election judge! 🗳️

I got this sweater set from @mmlafleur last spring and it continues to be a favorite. The color and popcorn stitch makes it wearable three seasons of the year. I’ve styled it with gold heels and dramatic gold earrings, with sneakers and a crossbody belt bag, and more than once with knee-high boots and a scarf at my throat. The color works with brown and black boots, the skirt silhouette and length with heels and flats. These brown riding boots are from @duoboots and almost a decade old. The scarf belonged to my dad; I have a feeling it was styled with a leisure suit back in the day!

I may have been more dressed up than other election judges but I think seeing democracy in action is a cause to celebrate! 🇺🇸

Early voting poll worker style 🗳️

I’ve been an election judge (AKA poll worker) for several years but this year I decided to take it a step further and join my city’s Board of Elections. I’m passionate about fair and accessible elections for all. The Board is acting as election judges for early voting so it’s great to use my previous experience on a city level!

I believe voting is a special occasion and I dressed the part. The puff sleeve sweater and pants are from @anntaylor; these pants are the same ones from the suit I wore earlier this week. I added a beloved @hermes scarf as a belt and silver hoops (they belonged to my mom) as a hint of shine.

If your area is having an election this coming week; I implore you to vote. Your voice deserves to be heard. And please ensure your neighbors know of the election and where to vote. 🇺🇸

Always fun to see my name in lights! 💡 I was a panelist at the annual @jaofcentralmd Leading Ladies event that connects local high schoolers with women in business. My panel was on using social media for promoting one’s business or personal brand. Along with other social media experts, we guided students and adults on how to create compelling and engaging social content and together created content for the conference’s feed. It was fun and I loved being able to share my almost two decades of personal and professional experience!

The dress code for the conference was business professional and since the event’s theme color was pink, they encouraged us to wear the color. 

This @anntaylor suit has been a favorite since late summer. I’ve dressed it down with a white tank and sneakers and glammed it up with a silk cami and gold heeled sandals. I love how Ann Taylor has petite suiting up to size 16; I know I’m not the only short curvy girl who desires suits and professional attire!

For this event I chose a berry-colored microfiber tank from @lovechicos. I own several of these tanks; they wear like iron and the tight weave and subtle shine make them great shells under suits. 

The look fit the theme but was also comfortable. I was glad to share my expertise and encourage others to see how they can donate their time and knowledge to a local @juniorachievementusa #JALeadingLadies #JALeadingLadies2023 #JACMD #JuniorAchievment

Sharing this from my #iPadOS17 thanks to @apple! A bit belated with all that has been going on lately but I’m really enjoying using an iPad to improve how I work, stay organized, and find new ways to be creative. Can I just say that editing video on an iPad instead of a phone is a game changer!

Recently, I attended an event at the gorgeous Apple Carnegie Library hosted by @flourishplanner_ to learn ways to make the most of #iOS17 and it was awesome. I brought my new iPad and learned about the new wallpaper, stickers, and organizing tools.

As for my look, the dress is from @bananarepublic’s summer collection. Kept it comfy with a pair of Samba sneakers and held down the volume of the dress with my black recycled leather @ganni crossbody. Added an old @_jennybird link necklace and a silver cuff I’ve had since the ‘90s.

I love an excuse to dress up, especially if it’s for a good cause! This weekend was the @thenewdealcafe Masquer-AID fundraiser to support this independent cafe, art gallery, and live music venue in @cityofgreenbelt.

My family and I have loved going to The New Deal Cafe for all these years. Grabbing coffee with friends, having a meal, seeing an amazing band, participating in an open mic or one of their Reel and Meal events. So @debbiefaye78, our mom, and I got tickets and even chipped in for a plaque from us “Ashpes Girls.” 

Our mom passed before she could attend the event; we asked our like a sister best friend @shellymingram to join us in her place and we had a great time, dancing all night as our mom would have, connecting with neighbors, and supporting a local business we all love so much.

As for the outfit, the dress is @ronnykobo the bag is @ganni and I borrowed both from @renttherunway The shoes I’ve had for years and the gold metal mask I found on Amazon and liked how it could mold to my face and not put pressure on my still-healing eye.

And I know y’all will ask because I received so many DMs this weekend when I shared this event in my Stories… my sister’s dress is from @eshakti she bought it a few years ago and it’s even more gorgeous in person!

The biggest fashion trend this fall is a return to classics. For decades I have turned to @talbotsofficial for quality classics with style.  This season, Talbots has a fantastic range of pants to update the wardrobe. 

I love how these @talbotsofficial ivory stretch corduroy straight leg pants elevate closet classics! Available in Misses, Petite, Plus, Plus Petite, Curvy, and in 10 colors, these cords are a chic alternative to jeans and just as easy care! I can run errands and have a bit of quiet time with an ebook and a coffee with comfort and style.
