I recently came across Dana Marie's refreshing and inspiring feed @daintydanamarie. She is an influencer in her 50s who is pretty fashion obsessed (you can tell by her outfit ideas). And while age has absolutely nothing to do with what you should or shouldn't be wearing, this style that POV women over 50 have is often fascinating given their level of experience with fashion. It also piqued my interest that Marie lives in the Midwest (Chicago, to be precise). I grew up in the Midwest too, so I'm always interested in uncovering the looks of my fellow Midwestern citizens.
With this in mind, I wanted to delve a little deeper into the fashion moments that Marie particularly feels these days. She ended up sharing a list of the six specific trends she swears by right now to complete her freshest look. Below you will find the looks that are important to Marie right now, as well as a number of inspired shopping tips in case you want to add one of her favorite pieces to your wardrobe this season too.
"I'm obsessed with knitted dresses. Not only are they stretchy and comfortable, but they can also be easily dressed up or down. I love a body-hugging knitted dress that is strapless with a side slit. So simple and yet chic." – Marie
"These leggings are anything but simple. They are my first choice that I can wear with pumps, sneakers, strappy sandals or boots – the possibilities are endless."
"Who doesn't love a pop of color? And for me, it's almost always pink. For those gray days of winter in the Midwest, adding color to my outfit is definitely a mood lift."
"When I live in Chicago it's cold about six to seven months a year, but we still go out there and defy it and look great doing it. There's nothing I love more than a puffer jacket right now. My favorite is a neutral puffer jacket that takes tonal dressing to another level. "
"Of course, no wardrobe is complete without a pair of jeans. At the moment I wear these high-rise distressed jeans repeatedly. They are my favorite, paired with a faux leather blazer for a relaxed look can be put together in a flash."
"I wear more and more white all year round because it is classic, always fresh and unexpected in winter."
