Outfits, capsule wardrobes, and fashion advice for women over 40 featuring Talbots. Modeled by a size 14/16 petite woman in her 40’s for real-life style advice.
Guess who was born 44 years ago today? Moi! Happy birthday to me! I know a lot of people dread their birthdays, but the older I get the more I am glad I am able to be healthy and here to celebrate it. And I feel stronger and healthier at 44 years of age than…
