The Fab 40's in Embroidery!

This month the Fab 40's share their take on the embroidery trend.

Lots of cool embroidery looks in the runway lately, from subtle to wild!

I picked up this funky vest in a local thrift store. It's something that I wouldn't have looked at twice a couple of months ago, but with this new trend, I thought it worked for a boho-rific vibe.

The Free People jacket that inspired me ...

Looking forward to layering this vest with a flowy maxi skirt and crochet-ish something in the spring.

The Fab 40's: Jumpsuits!

This month's theme for The Fab 40's was ... JUMPSUITS!

But before we jump right in, I wanted to say a big thanks to everyone who expressed interest in joining our little group. We were so flattered and were tempted to open it up to everyone, but then we felt a bit overwhelmed at the organizing involved and decided to keep it small and manageable. I hope everyone understands. We know there are so many great 40-something fashion blogs out there and we totally support all of you! Hurrah for all of us who keep showing the world how totally FAB 40 can be!

Now let's jump into jumpsuits!

I haven't had a jumpsuit since high school, so shopping for one now was an adventure. I didn't want to spend too much on this trendy look so I hit up Fovever 21 and got this fun jumpsuit. I ended up actually loving it. What do you think, Dolls?

It's strapless, but I doubt I'll actually wear it that way. Well, maybe beachside!

I had planned to add one of my crochet cardigans for a totally boho look but it just ended up looking shapeless. I thought this tailored cropped jacket looked more pulled together.
