How to wear basics with accessories

It took quite a few tries to get today's photos. All my kids and my husband took photos of me but they somehow managed to delete them and we had to make a new session. So tiring to pose....


 Like I've already explained  I'm into basics right now and I'm exploring  the endless possibilities of basics + accessories. So I will be doing this series next weeks where I will keep the outfit basic/minimal and play with  the accessories I own.
However ,upon looking at the photo I started having second thoughts as to whether this outfit is age appropriate( I'm 44). I'm not saying more but I want your feedback in this (honesty is greatly appreciated).



I have to confess that I bought 3 basic cotton tshirts in white , black & grey this week. I sort of hope they will connect some orphan clothes I have and that I will be able to form new and neat combinations. After all there is a certain amount of clothes one with common logic can own but (there is always a but) with accessories...it's another story. You can have many and they don't take too much space or money.
But you should keep it simple with accessories , one or two pieces a time  or only bangles or only rings ...whatever it takes to look polished. The eye should not wander from one accessory to the next, there should be balance.


I'm wearing pearl bangles , a scarf with strippes and my favorite lipstick today.

Happy weekend everyone !!!

  1. You look so good in this outfit...I wish I could pull off a T shirt tucked into jeans like you do! I really like the scarf and the way it matches the entire look from eyes to denim!

  2. Well, it probably won't surprise you to know I don't subscribe to any rules about "age appropriateness"! If I looked as good as you do in jeans and a tucked in white t-shirt, I'd wear it, and I'm older than you! Wear what you love and what you feel great in, that's the only rule to follow. I think you feel great in this outfit, Angie, it shines in your eyes! xxxx

  3. I think you are totally age appropriate! I'd wear this outfit is a second if I looked as great as you do.

  4. I see no age issues here, Angie - you look fabulous. Your eyes and the scarf are wonderful together.

  5. My favorite part of this outfit is how the blue stripes in the scarf make your blue eyes look so great! This is a classic casual outfit: jeans, t-shirt, sneakers. In the USA, you see this on everyone, of any age. You look relaxed and friendly :-)

  8. I think you look better than anyone half your age in that outfit - you wear it! I would if I looked half as good and I bet you get a lot of admiring looks and compliments! Wear what you love and wear it with pride. You look lovely. Claire X
