While unpacking from a trip to New Orleans, Louisiana, it dawned on me that for six days in a row I wore a different pair of leggings or jeggings. I was cute, in my humble opinion. I was in style, but appropriate for a 42-year-old. I was supported by garments that didn’t reveal more than should have met the eye and more importantly, I was comfortable. The thought that one day leggings and jeggings will be a thing of the past was daunting. Now, there are some fashion trends I wouldn’t mind snatching off the shelf forever myself. That list of items may manifest into a post itself. However, there are some styles for women I want to stick around as long as fashionably possible.

And they are, in no particular order:

• Blunt bangs
• Naturally, beautiful hair accessories (also known as wigs, weaves, extensions)
• Appropriately supported and/or covered Leggings
• Appropriately supported and/or covered Jeggings
• Fashion-forward ensembles for women of all shapes and sizes
• Maxi Dresses
• Faux Fur
• Blazers and beautiful jackets
• Sparkly things to adorn boring things (like t-shirts)
• Lipgloss
• Dramatic red lips
• Riding boots
• Jeans with a little stretch in ’em
• Dresses that make ladies really look like classy ladies
• Big, beautiful, colorful handbags
• Wristlets
• Spanx, tights and an assortment of supportive garments
• Flannel PJs
• Swimsuits with a forgiving waistline (in other words, a bit of spandex, or “span” something sewn in)
• Peplum dresses and blouses
• A classic lace dress or blouse
• Ruching on dresses and blouses
• Denim jackets
• Capes and swing coats
• Wrap dresses
• Houndstooth
• Animal print…moderately bold
• Gucci
• High-heeled shoes that you want to wear and can actually walk in
• Jumpers and rompers
• Anything elegant, classy, sophisticated, lady-like or clearly announcing that a grown woman has entered the building.
