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.

While I don’t like the taste of a pumpkin spice latte, I do love the color. Not quite orange, not quite brown, the color becomes a neutral like olive green that looks great with other neutrals but spices up jewel tones and makes surprisingly beautiful color combinations.

Earlier this year, I visited New York City to film a video with Universal Standard to introduce their petites collection. While in New York, I stopped by Christian Siriano’s boutique The Curated NYC which opened that same week. The Curated NYC naturally carries Siriano’s fashion but it also carries other brands including Universal Standard. I…
