Ageless Style September

Welcome to the Ageless Style Link-Up – The first Monday of every month ten over 40 bloggers present a different style theme and show a myriad of ways to wear it, all the while proving you can still be fashionable and on trend over 40 and beyond.

For September, Jennie suggested a post about dressing for your body type. As per my usual the last 6 months or so, I’m pretty sure I skipped right over the directions. Regardless, finding a piece like this kimono to cover up the love handles I’ve acquired since COVID 19 became our norm was a win!

In all seriousness, I love the look of a kimono but rarely find one that is a great fit for me. As soon as I saw this one I knew I had to try it. The pattern has so many great colors that will be perfect for transitioning to fall. I’m loving the fit as it doesn’t just hang straight but has some pleats and shape to it.

My goal was to show a wear now and then look but please note the blue sky behind me. Afternoon thunderstorms have definitely put a kink in the kimono fashion show! Side note, I’m visiting my hometown and this may or may not have been a road I use to sneak off to in my teenage years for a backroad party or two!

No joke, a kimono is a great way to use some fall colors to transition to fall. It is so sheer so it looks fallish without feeling hot and looks great with all the fall colors. Bonus, it enlongates my body which is definitely preferred right now!
