Heat is On in Ageless Style

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 August, Debbie of Fashion Fairy Dust chose the theme The Heat is On and boy did she call it! My fave way to beat the heat is with great breathable fabrics and fun shorts.

This set arrived in my July Stitch Fix and, while my stylist did not pair them together, I loved the floral pattern with the gingham shorts. Pattern mixing can be tricky but so much fun once you figure it out. It’s all about balancing out the prints and the larger floral paired with a small check gingham plays well together.

I loved this look together but I have tons of tops similar in my closet and the shorts were just a tad snug. This look was packed up with a few other pieces in the easy return bag and shoved in my mailbox for the mail carrier to pick up. When I returned from out of town the package was right back on my kitchen table!

Guess what happens wheny you check out with Stitch Fix and then don’t put the clothes in the mail, you get to pay for them!! So I guess I’m crossing my fingers I turn things around with my healthy eating and workouts and get into these shorts comfortably soon!

Of course, my fave way to lick the heat lately has been to grab my fave strawberry-colada snow cone from Bahama Bucks so we’ll see if I can manage to work off the calories!

Hope you are finding a way to lick the heat where you are! Grab your favorite look and join the Ageless Style linkup.
