Susan after 60 2024

I take my mom to get her radiation treatments on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. She has a small skin cancer on the top of her wrist and will require 20 treatments. There was a slight chill in the air, and the morning fog was heavy, so a V-neck sweater and black jeans were comfortable. I…

When you look at a fashionable image and can’t tell in which decade it was taken, the women are likely wearing classics. Get in my time machine, and I’ll take us back to 1973. The look I wore to the grocery store on Wednesday is the same formula I wore in high school. I started…

It’s my birthday, but I am giving you a gift. Today, I’m sharing what I eat about 90% of the time. There are valid reasons for all these selections. It isn’t all about convenience or taste. I enjoy all the items shown in this post and took all these photos in my kitchen using our…

My love affair with linen continues as we celebrate Mr. Mickey, aka The Dude’s, 90th birthday month. (His license plate reads ‘Hey Dude.’) Each of his various circles of friends has given him nicknames, so he has several. His upbeat personality always makes people feel comfortable and happy. Evenings at higher elevations can be much…

We plan to stay home before the fire to ring in 2024. But some of you have asked for ideas on what to wear for a New Year’s Eve celebration, so I’ll share some outfit suggestions for different types of events. We’ll begin with the most dressed-up scenario. If you go to dinner and then…

Before sharing my list of some things I avoid, here are a few photos from our Saturday afternoon adventures. The bag is about eight years old. The shoes and denim blazer are at least three years old. (The blazer is by Raison D’etre.) I don’t remember how long I’ve had the watch, but I’ve felt…

Every six weeks is a reasonable timeframe for my haircuts; however, with all the doctor appointments, etc., it has been eight weeks since my last trim. So, it was good to be back in my stylist’s chair on Thursday. I was thrilled to meet a lovely blog follower who was also getting her hair done.…

Some items are so versatile and comfortable that I reach for them repeatedly. The combination of a cashmere V-neck sweater and a soft pair of jeans has been one of my favorites for the past few winters. The look is a simple and comfortable base that can be dressed up or down. Working on my…

“When you buy something for spring, please share the link sooner.” Similar requests show up often in emails and comments. Since I wear things repeatedly, season after season, much of what I show in my photos is no longer available. For example, this blazer is by Raison D’etre, and I bought it at Neiman Marcus…

Sometimes, it’s easier to make what you have work in different ways than to shop for new items. New pieces are showing up in stores and online, but not much has captured my interest. These photos share some transition-to-spring looks that feature white jeans. The exercise shows how adding one thing, like a pair of…
