After perusing my notes on Fall 2015 shows and um-teen fashion magazines, I look for little changes I can make that will be update my style without making any purchase what-so-ever! These changes may include a few simple changes in the way I wear my hair, my jewelry, and the way I mix my existing clothing and accessories.
I noticed these trends that work wonderfully for mature and/or disabled ladies; no cost, no matter our existing wardrobe, and for little or no added expense.
Item 1: Mixing and matching colors. Fall 2015 is the season for making unexpected color combinations; for example a navy blue classic cardigan sweater or blazer or vest with matching pants, a collared blouse in a bright color such as yellow, worn under a crew necked sweater such as orange, or a pea green blouse with a collar worn under a China red sweater. I am letting my wardrobe, taste, and imagination be my guide.
Item 2: Rethinking ones jewelry. The last few years have been all about 'statement' necklaces, bracelets, etc. This season is all about layering earrings and rings. I have two holes in each ear so I will definitely fill them all and wear rings on several fingers on both my hands with many of my outfits. If I wear necklaces at all, they will be thin chain type, and no more than three or wear one long single strand or one with a pendent or medallion, and not wear them at all if wearing a lot of rings. I doubt I will be wearing many bracelets. Actually many ensembles showed little or no jewelry, a departure from the last few seasons. Minimalism!!
Item 3: Menswear or comfort shoes. This is the year that 'nurses' shoes, your old loafers, or any athletic shoe, combined with appropriate wardrobe pieces make a real fashion statement. Classic pieces worn with comfortable colorful tennis shoes (especially if you dress them up a little) are right on trend! Clogs, oxfords, rubber cleated shoes, boots (especially ankle length) are worn with practically anything.
Item 4: Hair; there are some wonderful looks in the latest magazines; boufant pony tails, layered buns, wraps, etc. are in vogue. Unfortunately my hair is too short for most of them. I have checked my eye makeup for the latest trends in eyebrows, liner, and shadows. I am experimenting with some white eyeliner and white shadow in slightly different ways to update my look while not emphasizing wrinkles, etc. I'm anxious to see what I can do...(any suggestions would be appreciated.)
Any or all of the above incorporation into ones fall wardrobe will instantly update the look no matter your age or disability.
I have taken a few pictures to add to my style book (that way I don't have to figure out later what to wear-especially if I am in a hurry! ) I actually have about 15 outfits that will take me into fall and winter just using trendy color combinations! Camel, grey, and pink, turquoise and coral and lavender,...Happy styling!......Geneva
