Autumn style

You know how you can be satisfied, comfortable, and confident with your personal style, yet all that falls to the wayside when you encounter one of those people who manage to make even though most basic outfits look impossibly chic?

It has been about 15 years since I decided that my wardrobe wasn’t doing the job it was supposed to, and I wanted to downsize to a much smaller wardrobe. Something that focused on my style rather than a mish-mash of impulse purchases.

When you think of a minimalist capsule wardrobe your mind usually goes to a beautiful set of neutrals, clean lines, simple silhouettes, subtle accessories, and no patterns, but I like to try to step outside the box.

During every fashion week, there is always that standout show that gets everyone excited and buzzing. For the fall/winter 2024 fashion season, it was the Chloé show which was the successful debut for Chemena Kamali.

I wanted to focus on building a fall capsule wardrobe for women over 40 this week. There seems to be an outdated mindset that once women reach a certain age they should dress a specific way. Or better yet, stop dressing a specific way.
