Description

We all know that middle age can be a challenging time for many reasons, and reinventing yourself can seem difficult if you don't know where to start. But fear not! We have the Midlife Style School is designed for you! I've compiled a list of ten ways that you can make an impactful change through style and image. Let's dive in!    1. Invest in a wardrobe audit: A wardrobe audit is a great way to reassess your style and figure out what pieces you need to feel comfortable and confident. You can do a virtual closet edit with you, or you can do it yourself by taking inventory of your existing clothes, shoes, accessories, and makeup. This will help you determine what items should stay in your closet and which ones should be donated or thrown away.    2. Have fun with colors: Midlife is often associated with playing it safe when it comes to colors, but don’t let this stop you from experimenting with different tones! Try wearing bright colors as accents to give an otherwise neutral look some pop—think red heels, yellow earrings, or a printed scarf. If you’re feeling more daring, go ahead and incorporate bold colors into entire outfits.    3. Play with layers: Layering is a great way to keep your style interesting without investing too much money or effort. Build on simple basics by adding coats, ponchos, or accessories like scarves or statement necklaces for an instant transformation boost. You can also play around with different textures such as chunky knits, velvet materials or shearling coats for added visual interest.    4. Discover the power of accessories: Accessories are an important part of any outfit as they can add personality and flair to any look. Experiment with hats, jewelry, bags, belts and shoes that appeal to you—you don’t even have to break the bank! Thrifting is a great way to find vintage gems that won’t cost much yet will make any outfit stand out.    5. Make comfort a priority: Don’t sacrifice comfort for fashion! When buying clothes always make sure they fit properly and aren’t too tight or too loose so that you feel comfortable all day long. Choose fabrics like cotton or linen which are breathable and gentle against the skin so that you won’t be restricted in movement while still looking stylish!    6. Get creative with prints & patterns: Midlife doesn’t mean playing it safe! Instead, embrace loud prints and bold patterns as part of your newfound style journey; think polka dots blouses paired with statement stripes blazers for instance… The possibilities are endless once you tap into your creativity!    7 Try out athleisure looks: Athleisure wear isn't just for 20-somethings – it's one of the best ways to stay comfortable while still looking chic at any age! Try pairing cozy joggers with a structured blazer for an effortless yet pulled together look perfect for running errands or meeting up friends .     8 Incorporate vintage finds into modern looks: Vintage clothing often has unique designs and patterns that might be difficult to replicate today; use them as accent pieces in modern wardrobes for a fashionable twist on old classics! For example pair mom jeans from the 80s with a sleek top from the current season – it will look super trendy yet timeless at the same time .     9 Show off those curves (or lack thereof): If you want to truly reinvent yourself in midlife through style & image then consider shifting away from traditional body shapes - whether its emphasizing curves if you have them or embracing slouchy silhouettes if not - there are plenty of options available both online & offline !     10. Treat yourself once in awhile: At this stage in life many people forget about themselves due to financial restraints but don't forget – treat yourself every now & then by splurging on high-end items such as designer bags , quality shoes , statement jewelry etc ... They will last much longer than fast fashion trends & will help elevate any mundane outfit into something special!   And there you have it – my 10 tips
