  As a pear-shape, I've always stayed away from light colored pants.  But I keep seeing you dolls rocking your white jeans (and it's the next HIWM challenge) so I figured it was time to step out of my comfort zone and give some white jeans a try!

A few hints if you're curvy on the bottom too and shopping for white jeans …

Hint #1 Tame your expectations. These will never be your go-to black pants or your flattering dark wash jeans.

Hint #2 Don't try on anything in a junior store or junior sizes, or very light weight super stretchy fabric. Just trust me.

Hint #3 Prepare to try on a lot of pants that day. Of course if you start where I stopped, you might be luckier. I ended up with The Loft Curvy Straight Leg Jean.

What do you think?

Wore this casual look on a day trip to Carmel with the hubby.

Another Target designer collaboration, another cray cray Sunday morning of shopping fun!

And what a collection of summery fun!
Big kudos to Target & Lilly Pulitzer for including plus sizes.  Personally, I think every collection should.

Lilly Pulitzer for Target - be warned, there's a lot sold out already.

And sure I got a little carried away! Everything was so bright, Palm Beach-y, and fun! Here's my haul ....

Part of the fun for me is getting there early and chatting with the other fashionistas in line.  Here we are anxiously waiting and peering through the sliding door!

This first thing I ran for was this blue tote which I wanted more than anything and it was sold out online. My Target only had 2 of each color, so being first in line really paid off.

The purse rack at 8:03 ...

The selection at my store was a bit disappointing but I certainly found more than enough to make me very happy!  

Dressing room selfies ...

This pretty strapless dress was very nice fabric and even had a built in shelf bra.

Side note:
I know some people complain about the quality of the Target/designer collaborations, but I've always been pleased. I think it's just a matter of taming your expectations. Of course you're not going to get full designer quality.  What are you going to get is decent quality, designer style, and Target prices!  Hello?  Good enough for me!

This jumpsuit was fun ...

But I liked the palazzo pants even better ...

I didn't even take the time to button up this cute lace top!  I felt bad 
because this cute young gal really wanted the small size too and I got there first.  I really tried not to like it too much so she could have it, but I couldn't help myself.  It came home with me.

a

Also loved this gauze tunic. I really wanted the orange but our store only had the blue and hey, it matched my tote I was so proud of getting!

I also came home with this V-neck floral top. This is an XS in the picture and too tight, so I went up to the S.  (Sizes seemed true to expectation. I ended up with small in everything.)

Couldn't you die how cute this pineapple zipper is?

The sheath dresses have that cute zipper too!

I also got flip flops and scarves!  Very fun shopping day for me!  How did you dolls do?  What did you think of the collection?
You'll definitely be seeing quite a few Lilly Pulitzer outfit posts from me soon!

This month's theme for The Fab 40's was ... JUMPSUITS!

But before we jump right in, I wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who expressed interest in joining our little group. We were so flattered and were tempted to open it up to everyone, but then we felt a bit overwhelmed at the organizing involved and decided to keep it small and manageable. I hope everyone understands.  We know there are so many great 40-something fashion blogs out there and we totally support all of you!  Hurrah for all of us who keep showing the world how totally FAB 40 can be!

Now let's jump into jumpsuits! 

 I haven't had a jumpsuit since high school, so shopping for one now was an adventure. I didn't want to spend too much on this trendy look so I hit up Fovever 21 and got this fun jumpsuit.  I ended up actually loving it. What do you think, Dolls?

It's strapless, but I doubt I'll actually wear it that way.  Well, maybe beachside!  

I had planned to add one of my crochet cardigans for a totally boho look but it just ended up looking shapeless.  I thought this tailored cropped jacket looked more pulled together. 

Outfit details & Shopping Ideas:

Jumpsuit - F21 (same)

Browse Shopbop Jumpsuits

Shoes - Michael Shannon

Blazer - H&M

Necklace - Kohls

Bag - Carlos Santana

Let's see what the other Fab 40's Fashionistas came up with this month ...

I'm excited to introduce Cappelli Straworld's new Pack A Hat!  This chic hat packs away ingeniously into a cute little wristlet bag to carry with you whenever you go.  Best of all, thanks to the opaque material the hat has a UPF 50+ rating to protect our skin against skin cancer and premature aging.  How many times have you ended up walking out in the sunshine for longer than you expected, wishing for a cute and protective sun hat to go?  Your wish is granted with Pack A Hat. 

For only $25 you get a chic hat with a 50+UPF rating and the cute wristlet tote that it packs away into.  Perfect for a vacation, a day at the beach, a picnic, a festival, or to keep with you for anytime the sun comes out.  How about keeping a Pack A Hat in your desk at work for lunchtime walks?  Along with the hat, the tote can carry your money, keys, phone, and make up.  This hat and tote set is available in several fashionable colors and is shown here in natural. It has a pretty subtle gold shimmer to it that I love. Be sure to usethis link to order and get free shipping!

Other outfit details: 

Top - Lilly Pulitzer for Target

Skirt - Old Navy

Sandals - Seychelles (DSW)

Disclosure: I was sent Pack A Hat as a present to review.  All opinions as always are my own. 

And since I have hats on the brain (as well as on my head) ...

here are three very different and all very chic hat looks from last week's link up:

Sandy of Sanda a la Mode and her friend look like lovely visions in their feminine dresses and cute hats.

Monika of Style is my Pudding is rocking this adorable flower adorned beret. Monika is always the epitome of funky chic!

Lauren of Punky Little DIYer never fails to make me smile and remember my Goth/Industrial/Punk days.  She worried if this outfit was a bit too Nightmare on Elm Street, but Freddy never looked this chic!

Time to party, Dolls!  Please link back. Don't forget to visit and comment on other linker uppers for a fun Friday love fest!

It's no secret that I'm a fan of Target/designer collaborations, so when I saw this Issac Mizrahi for Target dress at the flea market in my size and in perfect condition, I grabbed it.  And can I just add it cost less than my latte that day?

Red pumps - BCBG Paris

Since I bought three things with Lilly Pulitzer's Nosey Posey print, I decided, hey what the heck … let's throw it all on at once and see what happens.

Though I love each piece separately, I probably won't regularly wear all three together.  It's a little too matchy matchy for me, but it looked cuter than I thought it would.  And I felt very bright and spring-y!

Outfit details & Shopping Ideas:

Top, scarf & flip flops - Lilly Pulitzer for Target

Bag - Michael Kors

Jeans - Old Navy

Sunnies - Readers.com Bifocal sunglasses

Jewelry - Tilly's & J. Crew

Here's a few other bright & spring-y chicks!

Sabina of Ocean Blue Style is looking so chic in her hot pink ensemble and black and white moto coat.

  Loving Natalia of In the Writer's Closet in this bright poppy red with that stylish leopard pencil skirt.

Maricel of My Closet Catalogue looks adorable and ready for springtime fun in her aqua and coral.

Ready to show off your spring looks?  

Link up, link back, and be sure to visit some of your sisters-in-chic.

Thanks to your participation and support, last week's link up hit the 100 mark!  You dolls make fashion and blogging so much FUN!

I love a design aesthetic that combines natural elements and modern style.  So whenJORD asked me to review one of their wooden watches I was on cloud nine!

Jord is Swedish for earth or land, which is the perfect name for a company that uses beautiful sustainable sourced wood from around the world to handcraft their amazing timepieces. 

A team of artists, designers, and professional watchsmiths work together to create unique watches from maple, bamboo, blackwood, cherry, zebrawood, loa, and sandalwood.  

I chose the exquisite Sidney series maple and rose gold watch, with Swarovski crystals, and Seiko quartz chronograph stopwatch movement. 

How gorgeous is this watch?  
So chic with it's contemporary architectural design!

I kept my outfit simple and modern to show off my arm party with my Jord timepiece as the superstar of the show!

So on point right now with it's bold substantial style.

 Even their packaging is artistic and beautiful ...

Thanks so much to JORD for gifting me this amazing timepiece.  All opinions are my own as always. The brand was a pleasure to work with, including outstanding attention to customer service.

This watch is just one of many stunning beauties. Check out the JORD website to see all their masterpieces!  And be sure to notice their selection of handsome men's watches as well.  (I think my husband has been hinting!)

It's such a happy time in a fashionista's life when style and comfort combine. 

Comfortable high quality walking shoes never go out of style, but right now they're so hot and on trend. Oh thank you, fashion gods! My feet are in heaven!

And the very best of the utility footwear brands?  Mephisto!

Started in France in 1965, Mephisto has been a pioneer in the footwear industry ever since. What makes Mephisto so special?  High quality handcrafted shoes with innovative technology makes Mephisto an investment not just in your wardrobe, but also the health of your feet, legs, and back. 

 Their flexible exclusive soft-air midsole reduces the shocks of walking, protecting your feet and joints.  The breathable nature of the midsole enhances air circulation which gives your feet a healthier environment.  Your Mephisto footwear will last you many years and you can even send them in to be refurbished.

I picked out these beautiful Helen Spark sandals in light beige nubuck.  Once you know how wonderful these shoes feel, you'll definitely want to pick out a color that goes with everything!

Along with everyday wear, I imagine my Mephisto sandals to be the perfect travel shoe.  Totally ideal for walking and exploring, as well as looking great with jeans, pants, shorts, and even skirts.

My Siberian Husky, Rox, suggested I try them out on a dog walk.  She's crafty like that!  

(And yes of course, they're splendid for dog walks too!)

Think of all you've put your feet through ... isn't it time to do something nice for them?!

Shop Mephisto!

So Dolls, I found another cool website for shopping called Showinbuy ... lots of pretty choices for inexpensive prices!  Showinbuy has cute, trendy, and fun pieces, along with chic accessories.  They also have quite a selection of special occasion dresses should your social calendar be way more exciting than mine.

Today I'm modeling Showinbuy's Summer Casual Bohemian Ethnic Long Coat Maxi Dress. Yes, the name is almost as long as the dress!  

Isn't it beautiful?

You know I love a California bohemian vibe and what says boho better than rainbow tie-dye?

My usually oblivious husband even poked his head out the window while I was getting pics and said "hey, I like that." (Translated into fashionsita speak that means "OMG, I'm obsessed ... that dress is everything!"

I can't wait to try to style it other ways as well. I even think it would make a cool beach cover up!

See what else is available ... Shop Maxi Dresses at Showinbuy.

I'd like to thank Showinbuy for gifting me this gorgeous dress.  They were a joy to work with, including friendly, helpful customer service. They even ship internationally. All opinions here are my own, as always.  Keep your eye peeled for another pretty Showinbuy piece featured soon!

Do you enjoy working out? I really wish I did, but I don't really.  But as long as I'm going to do it to look good, I might as well look good while I'm doing it, right?!

Today I'm trying out the RBX Digital Camo Legging.  

These workout capris are made for action!  The four-way stretch lets you move every which way while maintaining its shape.  

The fabric wicks moisture away from the body, keeping you comfortable and dry during a kick-butt workout!

Wild prints are totally on trend for workout gear right now, especially camo.  RBX gear is fade resistant so that the colors stay vibrant.

These capris even have a convenient little pocket to carry a key!

You can find RBX at department stores and sporting good stores, as well as rbxactive.com.  And RBX is offering my readers an extra treat:  25% off (use coupon code: Active25).  Free shipping on orders over $50 (after coupon).

Shop here: RBX Active - The Power Collection!

(RBX gave me these workout capris to review. All opinions are my own, as always.)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Loving this new top from Showinbuy!  The bold geometric design and boxy fit make me think of a mod 1960s look. 

Shop this top and other tops from Showinbuy.

First I styled it dressy with a skirt (Kasper) and heels (Kohls).  I always love my red bag (London Fog) with black and white.

Then I thought, who am I trying to kid that I'll be comfortable teaching all day in a skirt and high heels?  I changed to skinny jeans (Gap) and flats (Seychelles). I really liked both outfits. 

My favs from last week ....

Katherine Eldridge is looking chic and on point in this great ensemble.

I  never would've thought to put these pieces together, but how cool does Monika of Style is my Pudding look in this chic combo? Fabulous!

Happy 30th to Rachel of Garay Treasures!  Isn't she looking totally adorable?

Link up, link back, visit, comment, and have a blast!

And hey, have you entered this giveaway yet?
