I recently came across Dana Marie's refreshing and inspiring feed, @daintydanamarie. She's an over-50 influencer who's quite fashion-obsessed (you can tell from her forward outfit ideas). And while age has absolutely nothing to do with what you should or shouldn't wear, that style POV over-50 women have is often intriguing given the sartorial experience. It also piqued my interest that Marie lives in the Midwest (Chicago to be exact). I grew up in the Midwest also, so I'm always interested in uncovering the looks my fellow Midwesterners are into.
On that note, I wanted to dig a little deeper into the fashion moments Marie is particularly feeling these days. She ended up sharing a list of the six specific trends she swears by at the moment to complete her freshest looks. Below you'll uncover the looks that matter to Marie right now, complete with a variety of inspired shopping picks in case you're interested in adding one of her go-to pieces into your wardrobe this season as well.
"I'm obsessed with knit dresses. Not only are they stretchy and comfortable, but they can also easily be dressed up or down. I love a body-skimming knit dress that's off the shoulder with a side slit. So simple yet chic."—Marie"These leggings are far from basic. They're my go-to 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 is almost always pink. For those grey days during the Midwest winter, adding color to my outfit is definitely a mood booster.""Living in Chicago, it is cold about six to seven months a year, but we still go out and brave it and look great doing it. There is nothing I'm loving more right now than a puffer jacket. My favorite is a neutral puffer jacket that elevates tonal dressing to another level.""Of course, no wardrobe is complete without a go-to pair of jeans. Right now, I am wearing these high-rise distressed jeans on repeat. They are my favorite paired with a faux-leather blazer for a laid-back look that can be put together in a flash.""More and more I'm wearing white all year round because it is classic, always fresh, and in winter, unexpected."
