  • Summary

  • In This Episode 0.07 My biggest challenge with my style is my job, I’m a kindergarten teacher so I tend to have an uninteresting casual work wardrobe (jeans, cropped pants, merino trackies (winter) and dresses (summer) because I don’t want to spend too much money on items that could easily be ruined by in a flash by dye of paint. Sometime a pair of jeans only last a day before I need to wash them because I come home with paint, playdough, sand or clay on them. I dress fairly casually but like a feminine top and struggle on balancing my work wardrobe within my general wardrobe and end up mixing them together. I really struggle to choose layering items, with everything feeling more ‘stand alone’ .

I wear all black basics. Would love to know how to elevate and accessorize classics and maybe add in some small, wearable trends while still looking polished.

I'm 68 and retired. I spent my last 30 years of work as the assistant to the registrar at a Community College. I had a professional wardrobe, and dressed sharp every day. When I retired 7 years ago, I gave away my "work clothes" to a women's shelter. I pictured myself in athletic wear, for the duration. Then, 6 months after retiring, I got breast cancer. That was an experience that took me to the brink and back. That was 6 years ago. That experience aged me, and I'm trying hard to do everything right to prevent a recurrence. Now, I have a disconnect with how I look on the outside and how I feel on the inside. My belly has gotten soft and I can't even hold it in. I have an "H" shape and back flab. I don't enjoy shopping for clothes because when I try on jeans, for instance, they fit great everywhere, but I can't zip them up. If I buy ones I can zip, they look horrible and unflattering everywhere else. I really want a casual wardrobe that includes jeans, shirts, sweaters, etc. Can you help me? I don't know where or how to start. When I worked, I had a wardrobe based around neutrals, mainly, that I could change up with a cardigan, blazer, scarf, etc. Rediscovering Your Style https://insideoutstyleblog.com/2023/08/unveiling-your-new-signature-style-embracing-change-with-elegance-and-comfort.html https://insideoutstyleblog.com/2023/07/finding-your-sense-of-style-rediscovering-and-refining-your-fashion-identity.html https://insideoutstyleblog.com/2020/09/wardrobe-transitions.html If You’d Like to Define Your Style and Discover Your Colours If you’re sick of wasting money on clothes that don’t work and you know there is a better way, then join my 7 Steps to Style program and get the right information for you and your style.
