There’s quite a bit of affordable fashion out there now so it’s easy to look super stylish on a budget these days! My daughter Rachel and I were recently asked by Who What Wear to share our favorite trends under $100. Although we both have our own personal style, we tend to lean towards similar staple looks and found so many great finds this season that are budget-friendly and chic
Read moreThe warmer winter weather this year has me thinking that it’s the perfect time to make room in my closet for some of the newest spring fashion! In a recent article for Who What Wear, “We’re in Our 50s, and These Are the 10 Spring Trends We'll Wear the Most,” my blogging BFF Janet Gunn and I once again do our best to take the guess-work out of how to style some of our favorite budding trends as we say hello to spring!
Yep, it’s almost time to put away our teddy coats and boots in favor of all the looks we started coveting way back in September, when Fall Fashion Week gave us a sneak peek of what was to come in late March when spring officially arrives.

As women in our 50’s we’ve learned that when it comes to trends, it’s best to pick and choose. Just like deciding on the right diet or hairstyle, a girl has to decide what works for her, not for her sister, bff or favorite super model.
Since there’s a lot of fun fashion on the horizon, we’ve done our best to sift through it to share our short-list of favorites that you may want to flirt with. Below you’ll find the Spring 2020 looks we’ll be embracing with open arms; giving you inspo to start preparing your closet for warmer temps and these hot new trends!

Inside Out
Lingerie As Outerwear
Lingerie as outerwear is going to be everywhere. You won’t find us sporting midriff baring bra tops, but we will be embracing this trend in our 50-something way. Pair a slip dress with a white sneaker and chunky cardigan (both are two more big trends for spring) or wear a feminine cami with trending white bottoms.

The Scoop on Sherbet
Pastels and Sherbet Colors
Pops of color will be seen everywhere this spring, but so will the softer shades. The sherbet and pastel side of the color wheel have definitely captured our attention and are kind to most skin tones.

Lately I have been on a leather kick, so I wanted to share with you some favorite new pieces and how I style them with basic items you may already have in your wardrobe. Since there are too many to highlight in one blog post, I created a ‘Mini Leather Edit Series’ for you and figured I would start by featuring the classic black leather jacket!
Here, I am wearing the soft, buttery leather jacket by new indie fashion designer Staci Koondel—it’s truly one of those amazing pieces you will love forever! Staci creates each of her stylish pieces from real, genuine leather all made in Los Angeles. This perfect black leather jacket lined in silk is timeless and can be worn with everything from jeans to dresses.
You can order this gorgeous jacket by emailing Staci directly at staci@stacikoondel.com. The jacket retails for $800 so take advantage of my latest Glow Girl deal and use the GLOWGIRL15 discount code in the subject title to get 15% off. It’s well worth the investment for this level of quality!
Below I paired with a simple black cami, light washed jeans, black suede booties, BaubleBar earrings and my favorite print Clare V bag of course. This one is currently sold old out but you can find some similar bags here.
Click on the items in the carousel to shop below. I included similar items in several different price points.
Stay tuned for more leather looks coming soon :)
Remember you can order this beautiful leather jacket by contacting Staci directly at staci@stacikoondel.com. Don’t forget to use the promotion code GLOWGIRL15 in the subject line for a discount!
Happy shopping!
