Farrah Fawcett’s Fashion Lives On

Farrah Fawcett and Jaclyn Smith were my two favorite Charlie's Angels. So, like most people. I was saddened to learn this morning that the blonde...

Tbh I tried this kinda chic trend multiple times.

Tbh I tried this kinda chic trend multiple times. My first list was true. But it felt boring:

✦
Kinda chic to dress for your body instead of the trends

Kinda chic to rewear the same pieces without anyone noticing

Kinda chic to have a kid later in life

Kinda chic to rescue dogs

Kinda chic to accept you don’t have it all figured out
✦

I realized the trend made me audit my whole life into an Instagram carousel. And my life right now just doesn’t audit well.

So I thought about my glimmers: my son, my rescue dog, the warm San Diego sun on my skin, the fresh ocean air. And I realized, everything that matters right now happened within 18 minutes over the weekend. It felt kinda chic to focus on that… and drown out the rest.

I hate the word midlife.

But like all my millennial and Gen X friends, I no longer fit into who I was, both the clothes and the life. My shift happened in my 40s, after a rapid stack of transitions: moving cities, pregnancy, breakups, motherhood, perimenopause, a career change, and body changes.

Figuring out who I am at 42 is a 40 day challenge I created for myself to share that messy, vulnerable in-between stage of evolving into who we’re becoming. I show up here looking put together (enough) while I figure it out with you, one day at a time. Call it my midlife rebrand… until we can think of a better word for midlife. 🐚

Kinda chic to rewear everything in your closet.

This summer I’ve been rotating the same denim and chino shorts, the same boatneck and ribbed tanks, classic button down shirts, white jeans, and the occasional dress. It makes getting dressed so much easier… and way more affordable when you’re redoing your wardrobe (and life).

Midlife fashion in your 40s is kinda chic.

I’m 42 and figuring out who I am now. In the past

I’m 42 and figuring out who I am now. In the past few years I’ve had so many transitions: moving cities, pregnancy, breakups, motherhood, body changes, career change… literally all the things.

I know I no longer fit into who I was, both the clothes and the life.

And I haven’t evolved into the woman I’m becoming.

Sharing while I’m in that messy, vulnerable in between stage is scary. But at least I can show up here looking put together while I figure it out with you, one day at a time. 🐚
