The FAB 40’s 8 ways to wear a Bomber jacket.

the fab 40s 8 ways to wear bomber jacket

the fab 40s 8 ways to wear bomber jacket. I am delighted to be part of this group of international bloggers, called The fab 40’s.
The purpose of this diverse group is to show how eight (very different) women interpret a specific style.
Each month there is a new theme chosen by one of the group.

These ladies prove that being in your forties does not mean you have to be dowdy, frumpy, boring or forgettable.
All of these women are 40+ and fabulous!

This month’s theme was the Bomber jacket.

Bang on trend, ageless and so versatile.

Today’s outfit came together with ease (once I had “borrowed” this jacket from my daughter) and was as simple, and pared back, as I will ever get!

Blue jeans and a white tee.
What could be easier?

I kept my accessories to a minimum.
Adding a simple belt, neutral shoes and a large bag.
Black nail polish finished things off nicely.

{I had accidently left my reading glasses on as we started shooting but liked the look so much I left them. Geek chic!}

Introducing our Guest blogger this month…

I love this entire look but especially those shoes….FAB!
Being petite is perfect for showcasing short hemlines and cropped tops.
Grace does both in this outfit with ease.
So funky and cool.

Literally.

So much more fun than a boring blazer.
