If @thechicks are in town you can bet @debbiefaye78 and I will be there! So when we heard they were coming to @merriweatherpp we were so excited. And their concert did not disappoint. As always, a phenomenal show! If The Chicks come to your neck of the woods I highly recommend you go!

Okay I know you want to know about what we’re wearing! 

My sister’s caftan is from @anthropologie (bought this summer so maybe you can find on resale sites).

I’m wearing a @bananarepublic dress also from this summer with the @universalstandard denim chore jacket and a hat I got from a @madewell collab a year or so ago. I glammed it up with some gold chains and gold drop earrings, but kept it comfy for a night of standing and dancing with @birkenstock sandals.

This was my first big outing since my eye surgery, and with a pocketful of eye drops I felt good (and grateful we splurged for good seats!).

For years I’ve trusted @somaintimates for the right bras and the right fit but it had been a while since I visited a Soma boutique to try on all the styles they currently have for a large bust. I must say I was impressed! Knowledgeable staff, extensive collection in larger sizes, and some of the most comfortable and innovative bras in up to H cups! Each body is different but what I loved:

- The Stunning Push-Up: targeted for the DD+ customer gives amazing lift and great shape under fitted knits.

- The Unbelievable Lift Scoop Balconette: sexy, supportive, and so lightweight!

- The Embraceable Wireless: I’ve recommended this wireless bra for large busts for years and was in need for a new one! 

- The Stunning Support Smooth Balconette: this is the perfect t-shirt bra for large busts with padded straps and disappears under knits

- The Stunning Starlet Multi-Way Strapless: recently improved for more support and more comfort, this wireless bra stays put and gives fab shape

I also picked up some of Soma’s iconic Vanishing Edge panties which keep you line-free. The whole Vanishing collection is genius. I loved being able to donate my gently used bras at my local Soma boutique to give to those in need. We all deserve a lift and Soma strives to achieve that. It’s why I’ve been a fan and customer for years and am honored to partner with them. Soma is the perfect fitting bra solution.

It was so funny and so quick I couldn’t not share! I bought this @hulkenbag a year ago and use it all the time. Carting shoot supplies, groceries, packing for road trips, and carting donations. This weekend @thenewdealcafe in @cityofgreenbelt hosted a community clothing swap so I made sure my family and I went through our summer wardrobes to gather that which we no longer needed or fit.

This wasn’t the first clothing swap and folks in town know my style (and my job) so there were some waiting for my arrival. Look how fast I cleared out this big bag! Speaking of the bag one other swap attendee said she got herself a Hulken after seeing mine in action!

It’s so great to know our old clothes are getting a good life and this bag makes carting them to the cafe so easy! I got my Hulken on Amazon, it comes in other colors and sizes too: https://amzn.to/48iTY4Y yep the bag is as great as all those ads you see on social media, I’m a big fan!

Happy gotcha day, Oscar! Four years ago he came into our life and we are so happy to have in our family!

Oscar was a rescue and came with some… quirks. Over the years we have come to understand him and he has come to trust us. He’s a diva, a snuggler, he could play catch for hours, and he’s my husband’s shadow. 

We’ve never had a small breed dog before and it’s a whole different experience. But we adore Oscar and couldn’t imagine our life without him! Thank you for coming into our life Oskie McGoskie! 🐾❤️

I can see clearly now…

Actually I can’t, but things after my retina surgery are much improved! My next appointment is in a month and I’m cleared to get back into the world (with some restrictions to protect my eye).

With a sclera buckle, it changes your eye shape and now I am nearsighted again (I had lasik a few years ago). Once the eye is stabilized I can get glasses or contacts but until then I’m 20/20 in one eye and right now 20/60 in the other. But the eye is healing beautifully and I feel positive!

And I could see clearly enough to fall for this poppy-colored cotton jumpsuit from @pistoladenim. It comes in a few colors but this one is my favorite. I went with XL (im@a 14, sometimes 16) and likely could have sized down but I enjoy the relaxed fit and the drawstring waistband to create shape. And hello zipper closure making it super easy to get on and off!

My husband took this photo right after my eye appointment, I think it reflects my positive attitude and feeling of hope! 🧡

#throwbackthursday to what I wore 10 years ago in September…

A decade ago I was working full time in an office and was promoted to manage a good portion of my department. My blog was doing quite well, I was featured in local and national publications and websites. I was embracing what I felt to be a polished professional with an edgy vibe. Less color, more interesting accessories, and my first semi-designer bag (I still have that leopard print mini M.A.C. In the back of my closet). 

I have come to embrace color and have way less black in my closet now, but a lot of these looks are timeless and I would wear now… just likely with lower heels! 😂

Do you recall what you were wearing a decade ago? How similar is it to how you dress now?

How to Style Skinny Jeans in 2023

Tips on how to style skinny jeans in 2023, with a focus on size-inclusivity and looks that are fashionable for women over 40.

In my recent post about 2023 fashion trends, I explained why skinny jeans are no longer popular. However, I do not think you need to start a bonfire in a field and toss into it all your jeggings and Universal Standard Seines. I still have my skinny jeans in my closet, and while I won't be buying another pair anytime soon, I also will be wearing what I have for as long as they continue to fit my body, my lifestyle, and my personal style aesthetic. Below I share how to style skinny jeans in 2023.

Remember, 2023 fashion is fluid. The rulebook has been thrown out the window, and that includes all those Hot or Not posts. Your favorite thing is now considered passe? Eff that noise, wear what you want, and that includes skinny jeans, middle parts, and anything else younger generations consider “cheugy.” Style isn't what you wear but how you wear it and if skinny jeans give you confidence, rock the heck out of them!

Silhouettes have changed, and we women are no longer lollipops apologizing for taking up the space we deserve. Skinny jeans were styled with tops that draped in an attempt to camouflage curves we were taught to be ashamed of and styled with tops that accentuated curves we were taught to highlight because they appeal to men. We used skinny jeans to follow rules to appear slimmer, longer, curvier in the right places, and appeal to the patriarchy.

If this sounds extreme, seriously think about fashion for women. From heels to the lack of pockets, women's fashion has been primarily driven by aesthetics, not practicality. And that aesthetic is of a young, firm, fertile body. Corsets and girdles, push-up bras and pumps, wrap dresses and wiggle skirts. And when our body cannot be manipulated into the desired aesthetic, we are taught ways to hide it.

How to Style Skinny Jeans in 2023

Well, the 2023 style theme is Take Up the Space You Deserve. And you can still rock your skinny jeans, but we're going to wear them with confidence, not as an apology. And here are some suggestions on how to do that, all featuring my personal favorite skinny jean, the Seine from Universal Standard.

Style Skinny Jeans with a Double-Breasted Blazer and Square-Toe Flats

This is likely an ensemble that feels very familiar but the details are what makes it modern. It's a spin on a classic that will update your skinny jeans for 2023.

how to style skinny jeans in 2023

Shop this Look:
Blazer (0-20 w/ tall & petite) | T-Shirt (XXS-XXL) | Jeans (00-40) | Flats | Bag | Sunglasses | Lipcolor | Necklace

350

The blazer is double-breasted, which is having you take up space unapologetically. This blazer can be buttoned or left open. An alternative is an oversized/boyfriend blazer; the key is this volume with structure. This is something you may have in your closet already, something you may be able to thrift or buy on a resale site.

The t-shirt underneath is not a bodysuit, it is not a tank, it is a loose fit to balance the blazer and the skinny jeans. I chose a slightly cropped version because you don't want a t-shirt that hangs down below your belly line. That is an old rule created to make you think by somehow adding a layer of snug jersey over your curve you are hiding it/apologizing for it. Nope, go with a shirt that hits anywhere from just below your waistband to mid-zipper either untucked or tucked and bloused out.

If your current t-shirts are too long, don't be afraid to go to your dry cleaner or tailor and have them take off an inch or three. Seriously, this is what style setters and celebrities do, their t-shirts are not off the rack. And customizing an existing shirt is cheaper than buying new, better for the environment, and in the long run will be less of a headache to achieve your style goals.

To try out tailoring t-shirts, start with your least favorite, try it on, show where you want it to hit (From just where the belly curves under to shorter, you choose what you like). Err on too long, you can also shorten it and when it's the length you like you can take others in to be altered. Tailors can shape torsos, shorten sleeves, create side vents, and much more to create the t-shirt of your sartorial dreams.

The flats have structure and a square toe so they feel modern, and take up more space than a pointed or round toe. The bold color adds volume, as well as interest. The bag is more structured than the camera bag crossbody styles we've been rocking the past decade. And these bold colors are the new pops of color for the 2020's; you're going to see a lot of acid green, highlighter colors, and unexpected shades replacing traditional color pops of red and pink.

Even the necklace is bolder than the delicate chains we've been wearing. I don't think the delicate necklace trend will be ending any time soon, but I do expect to see a slow trend toward bolder pieces, more of a focus on earrings, and sculptural and architectural jewelry. This necklace is under $50 and a low-pressure way to try out this emerging trend.

Style Skinny Jeans with an Oversized Button-Front Shirt and Sandals

Think 2023 Coastal Chic; a shirt of linen, oxford cotton, or well-worn poplin catching the sea breeze, shirttails flapping, your Birkenstocks slapping the boards of the pier.

how to wear skinny jeans in 2023

Shop the Look:
Shirt (XXS-3X) | Jeans (00-40) | Tote | Sandals | Lipcolor | Hat

350

Envision your coastal chic self. Your shirt is oversized, either an extra button unbuttoned so it slides back on your shoulders and maybe shows a peek of a camisole or tank, or all the top buttons are buttoned and the bottom few open to allow for flow and drape. Sleeves rolled up without much thought about even cuffs or precision.

Your skinny jeans are faded, distressed, or a soft beachy color like gray, white, or ivory. Accessories aren't necessary, though a canvas or straw tote or a soft brown leather bag would fit nicely. If you do want jewelry, it's small and intimate, something that won't get in the way. Don't be afraid of hair accessories: a headscarf or scarf tied around a ponytail, a straw fedora or a brushed twill ball cap in the color of the sand, the rocks, or the clouds.

Sandals have some heft to them, to balance the oversized shirt and the skinny jeans. I'm a fan of Birkenstocks, which are both on trend and comfortable. However, you can do most any sandal that isn't too precious and delicate, especially if it incorporates cork, rope, canvas, or other sea-worthy textiles. Espadrilles are another alternative that has heft and fits the aesthetic.

Okay, I hope I've created a clear visual. Now for the specifics. Look for tunics or even beach coverups to find the length you desire in as button-front shirt without it being too full and sloppy. Writing this I thought of the Tommy Bahama crinkle “boyfriend” shirt I got years ago as a swim coverup but often wear tied at the waist with shorts and relaxed jeans. I also think this beach shirt from J. Crew and this linen tunic from Garnet Hill look like great options. You can also go with a linen, gauze, or cotton voile tunic with volume like this one from COS or the one you bought on vacation 25 years ago that is hand embroidered and weathered just perfectly.

This is a combination that benefits from the skinny jeans because it makes it look purposeful, not like you just woke up. Your skinny jeans shouldn't puddle, gather, or be cuffed, they can be anything from almost capri length to just below the ankle bone. You need this precision to balance the rumpled shirt. Another way to add purposeful precision is with your hair and makeup; while a windblown look or a messy updo with a fresh face may feel like the right vibe, a slicked-back ponytail or bun and a glossy sheer red lip can actually elevate and still feel fresh and beachy.

Style Skinny Jeans with a Boxy Knit Top and Retro Classic Sneakers

This is a classic look that is often worn with a variety of denim silhouettes; again proportion is what makes the skinny jeans look great.

are skinny jeans still stylish in 2023

Shop the Look:
Striped Top (XXS-XL) | Jeans (00-40) | Tote | Earrings | Bracelet | Sunglasses | Lipcolor | Sneakers

350

The shirt is boxy, so it doesn't cling and it also doesn't hang past your zipper fly. This helps with proportion and shows you're taking up the space you deserve in 2023. Don't worry about trying to create a waist, you play with boxy and slim just by wearing skinny jeans. If this top isn't your jam, look for words like square, drop shoulder, boxy, fabrics without high percentages of stretch, and shirts with a straight, not scooped hem. For Breton striped tops, I also like this one from Saint James and this budget-friendly one from Appleseed's.

The Converse low-top sneakers are a classic; the off-white color nods to the shoe's long history and will prove quite versatile this spring and summer. After years of being careful to not get your sneakers dirty, in 2023 it's okay to have your retro classic sneakers show wear. It's also acceptable to have visible socks… if you want it.

Both ways work, but if you do wear visible socks consider a plain white quarter sock like this one from Bombas which will slip under your skinny jean without adding bulk but is also doable with dresses and shorts. I know, this is a hard trend to embrace after years and years of bare ankles. I reiterate, this is not a trend you have to adopt but it's there if you want it.

The Key to Style Skinny Jeans in 2023: Keep it Classic

It may seem counterintuitive, but the key to making skinny jeans feel modern in 2023 is to style them in a very classic manner. Think of looks you previously did with ankle jeans, how nothing was too long, too tight, too clingy. You may even be feeling that your ankle jeans seem a little too short for this season's looks; try out your skinny jeans and see how it feels.

Skinny jeans are always easier to style in the colder months. This fall and winter you will take these same cues, but incorporate moto and bomber jackets, chunky tough boots, boxy sweaters, and long wool and puffer coats.

Fashion is fluid, and nothing is completely “out” in 2023. However, because it's fluid, it's a perfect time to have a little fun with your wardrobe. Play with proportion, try new silhouettes, mix up your go-to ensembles. You deserve to find joy in your closet, and sometimes a little refresh is just what you need to put a smile on your face!

    I just wanted to chime in with how much I appreciate the agelessness of the way you style. You’ve shown looks here that my 40ish self and my 70ish mom would both look great in – and my tween daughter might even want to steal a few of these pieces!

    I’ve been wearing my skinny jeans with lug sole boots, a turtleneck or tee, and a blazer this winter and have felt very “me.”

    Except for the blazer, I can make any of these work out of my closet!
    Luckily, my mom volunteers at her church thrift shop, so I can ask her to keep her eyes open for a blazer for me.

    Personally I have downgraded my skinny jeans to activities where the narrow cut at the ankle is helpful for function (cycling, rock climbing) or where nobody will see me (gardening, cleaning the house). London used to be skinny-jeans central, but I haven’t seen anyone in them for months now. I would feel self conscious!

    I loved this article! So many options to keep the skinny jean trend on point. I swear skinny jeans for all occasions, depending on my top, jacket or blazer and shoes or boots. I feel that they’ll still be in regardless of the fashion magazines say, but I also don’t want to look dated wearing them. Thank you, Allie.

    Thank you for the Appleseed’s reminder. I need to replace a stripe T this spring but was kind of bored with Bean’s color choices (they do have a yellow with cream stripe that is very cheerful. But yellow’s not really my color.). Appleseed’s has many more color choices. I’m starting with the lime stripe on clearance. But I see other colors I like.

I’ll be a bit quiet on here and other channels because I had eye (retinal) surgery this past weekend. I was having what I thought were ocular migraines but come to find out I was experiencing lattice degeneration, which is thinning/holes in the retina. I had surgery Saturday for my right eye and later on they’ll work on the left eye, which isn’t as bad and can be remedied by laser, in office.

I share not because I’m Mrs. Frizzle meets Iris Apfel as I recuperate at home, but because this whole thing has been a lesson on trusting my gut. And I want to remind you to do the same.

As we get older our bodies can feel like strangers. Things are constantly changing and it’s easy to just assume your annual physical will catch anything wrong. But if you slow down and listen to your body you’ll know when things are just a sign of aging and life and what seems unusual. That nagging issue may be something more serious.

And if you’re seeing flashing lights, floaters, spiderwebs or other odd eye things get checked out ASAP. It may be nothing but take it from me, it may actually be something. ❤️

Okay, going back to my big sunglasses caftan recuperation life!

Ladies who lunch…

While in Savannah, I made sure to get lunch reservations for me and E at @theoldepinkhouse she loves the color pink, historic homes, and ghost stories so it was a perfect choice! 

Built in 1789 on Reynolds Square, there are stories of guests seeing ghosts, cutlery and wine bottles moving along with an elegant and truly delicious dining. 

While we didn’t see any apparitions, we did have a lovely lunch with impeccable service and after toured all floors of the home. I highly recommend a visit if you’re visiting Savannah!

My dress is from @cosstores (no longer available); hat is @furtalk and bag is @talbotsofficial (no longer available).

Scenes from a week in Savannah… 

The three of us (and our dog Oscar!) had a warm and humid but wonderful time exploring Savannah, Georgia earlier this month. Our daughter visited this gorgeous city last summer with her @girlscouts troop but wanted to return to experience more. We let her choose our adventures and play your guide and it was awesome. We cannot wait to visit again, though next time it won’t be August 🥵

Stripes are always right…

Y’all know I love stripes and when @universalstandard came out with their Breton-stripe dresses and tops I HAD to try them! As expected, the quality is stellar, the fit boosts my confidence, and I appreciate the range of colors (5 different stripes to choose from) and sizes (00-50). For reference, I’m wearing XS but preferred S for the top and I usually wear a 14 or XL in other brands.

The tote is @able and it’s a soft yet durable leather that just looks better with time. This color (cognac) is one that transitions nicely from summer to fall.

I’ve been raving about my Printfresh pajamas for years, my family also wanted to try them. Thank you Printfresh for gifting these for our annual three generation girls’ getaway to Rehoboth Beach, DE. We had a great time and being all matchy matchy in our pajamas was a fun addition! 🐅🍃🥰
