This is such a dreary time of year for fashion…I’m tired of thinking about winter clothes but there are few spring fashions in the stores for inspiration. When I need a little spring fashion fix, I go to Style.com and look through the runway shows and dream of sunnier days.
I found some great, wearable casual fashions from Adam for Spring 2010–Adam’s pallet of light blues, white and silver gray looks so fresh and cool and the shapes are classic but updated; I can see reaching for these type of clothes over and over again. Thank goodness loose fit (but not baby doll) is coming back, clothes that skim the body are so much more flattering than tight fitting garments. The recent penchant for low waisted pants and tight knit tops couldn’t be worse for a mature figure!
Here’s what I loved:

Another elegant choice for evening, tastefull and appropriate but not at all frumpy:
Here, she keeps a simple turtleneck up-to-date by adding a belt (helps to define a barely there waistline, too!):
And finally, what every woman over 40 needs, a classically simple yet undoubtedly current pants suit:
Just a simple little black dress, but it flatters by highlighting a slightly high waistline and skims over hips and thighs, ending at a slim part of her leg:
Here is a picture of Andie with her gorgeous daughters (look at all of that beautiful hair!):
An all white suit is classy and stunning:
Share your opinion! Who do you think is a good role model for over 40s?
