Well, Christmas is over and I’m spending a day relaxing! It’s nice to spend a day in my pajamas. Of course, that’s not very fashionable!
Last January I started “officially” blogging about Fashion & Beauty. To be more specific I blog about fashion & beauty for women over 40.
I have to admit I was nervous because:
#1. I don’t have a fashion degree but I do love fashion, makeup, jewelry etc. and
#2. I’m over 40! Have you noticed how many cute, young, adorable fashion bloggers are out there?
Somewhere along the way, I realized that there are a lot of women who are not 20ish but want to look fashionable. We also don’t want to look like we’re trying to dress like our teenage or young adult daughter.
So let me say THANK YOU for hanging in there with me! I’ve definitely learned a lot and I love sharing the latest trends and styles with you. I’ve had so much fun so I’ll keep going.
Today, I’m sharing What I Wore-Year in Review 2012. Some of them make me cringe a little but here we go!
February 2012~~This was my month of my blond streak or as I long to call it, “my mid-life crisis”.
March 2012~~
April 2012~~I was in Florida for a week and took these pictures.
May 2012~~I loved color blocking and tried to incorporate in my wardrobe.
June 2012~~
July 2012~~Spent most of July in tank tops!
August 2012~~I bought a jean jacket from Goodwill and made it into a jean vest.
September 2012~~This is a transitional month from warm to cooler weather. I tried to share my ideas.
October 2012~~My favorite month! I didn’t have a lot of What I Wore pictures because October was my 31 days of Fashion & Beauty for Women over 40. Wow, did we have fun! If you’re over 40 these posts are a must read! 🙂
November 2012~~
December 2012~~
I’m so excited about 2013! I know we’ll have lots of new fashion and beauty tips to talk about. I hope you’ll join me!
Have a blessed day!

Thank you for all your beauty and fashion advice.I love your style. I also being a 40 something know how hard it is to be stylish and not look too young or old. I think you nail it!
Great to see a positive progression in your style throughout the year! You also look like you ended up losing A LOT of weight! (Not necessary you looked great before) Perhaps posting photos so often was encouragement, or you just became more aware of your body and what looks good on it. I’m 22 and would wear a majority of that stuff haha, though I’ve always been told I dress entirely too old for my age! My 43 yr old mom dresses wayy younger than me… I should show her your blog! Love what you’re doing here but I must go before I really start wearing your outfits ;0)
How adorable are you!! Love all those outfits!! I want to get into scarfs…but have been afraid to take the plunge….dorky I know!! Maybe that will be my goal for 2013 🙂 You made the scarves rock!!
Happy New Year and Blogiversary!!

Just love your style, Cyndi! Thanks for sharing all your tips!
Thank you for inspiring us over 40 to know that we can still look great! I love your blog! Blessings to you!
You are so cute! Thank you for all of your tips and ideas!!
Congratulations on your blogging anniversary! I have learned so much from your blog. At almost 56, I needed an update to my style. I am getting complements and comments that I look younger. Thank you for helping me feel better about myself.
So glad I found your blog ~ have been following you for quite awhile & always love your style. You are an inspiration that those of us over 40 can be stylish without trying to look like our daughters (mines 23 & although I love her style, I find it a tad too young for me LOL) Thank you so much & can not wait to see what we’ll be wearing in 2013 🙂
ps … I liked the blond streak, but you always look fab!
If a blonde streak is a mid-life crisis, you got off easy 🙂 You look terrific!
Hi Cyndi-
Congratulations on your first year of blogging! I have enjoyed your posts and all your great tips!! Looking forward to 2013 with you. Happy new year and God bless you.
Cyndi,
I’m wondering if you could share your diet/fitness routine? I would look so much better in some of your fashion ideas if I was in better shape! 🙂
Congratulations on your first year blogging! I love your style! Over 40 bloggers need to stick together!
Cyndi, you always look amazing! Thank you for inspiring me to always look my best. Happy New Year!
Cyndi, I so appreciate your approach to fashion and the outfit inspiration you have given me! Looking forward to more in 2013!
