Fabulous 40+ Style!

by Sylvia

White dress with purple dots

I’m back in Singapore again trying to overcome my jetlag. Although I’m making good progress, I don’t much feel like posing for photographs yet! So instead I decided to highlight some amazing style that has been showcased in my style forum lately!

You all know stylish Greetje already as she recently gave us all a style lesson on how to have fun with fashion, but she is going from strength to strength when it comes to her dresssing. I love the white dress with purple dots above and her graphical outfits below.  graphical dresses

The seeker showed us all that it’s great to have fun with fashion and colour after 40. Below is a great combination with an artful t-shirt combined with orange pants.

And she looks smashing in these beautiful flower pants too.

Last but not least there is Marianne. Although she suffers from MS, she told us that she never stops loving fashion and really likes to dress up. Here is what she says: “I am 64, have very little money and move around in a wheelchair. Nevertheless I make the effort to put on make-up when I go out. And I try to dress nicely which is not an easy task as I have a huge tummy to hide. But I still want to look nice”.

She is a huge inspiration to me!

always dressing up

Linking up to visible Monday.

There are lots more looks in the style forum, so I hope you come and join us. you can showcase your style or ask questions about how to dress after 40, style, beauty or chat about anything style related really!

I am in shock and honoured that I am on your blog. I hope that I inspire women to dress up just for themselves, it makes you feel good and therefore more confident.

Greetje never disappoints. I love her dots, graphics and pops of color. I love the Seeker’s blue shoes with bows and so inspired by Marianne., who faces adversity with beautiful style. So amazing!

I’m not sure where Greetje got this dress. Hopefully she will see this comment and can get back to you…

Greetje February 22, 2013 at 3:11 am

Sorry girls, it took me a while to see this question. I bought the dress 2 years ago in Amsterdam. The brand is s.sung
It is a 100% cotton and it is dry clean only.
