Mix your prints! For instance; wear a black, white, and pink plaid flannel shirt with a glen plaid skirt.

Wear a pastel colored plaid shirt. Bring out one of the colors in the shirt with your outerwear, jacket or cardigan.

Layer your plaid shirt under a dress. If you like the menswear look add a tie for that borrowed from the boys look. Shop men’s casual streetwear from Peaceful Hooligan. You may also check out custom polo shirt embroidery here if you’re looking for custom polo shirts.

It’s the athleisure trend! Check out the looks below for outfit inspiration.

I can’t imagine plaid ever going out of style, but this 2017 fall/winter season it’s in the fashion spotlight, which means there’s more in store.

Check out the images below for a tiny sample of what I’m seeing at Mall of America.

Age is just a number right? Check out this video to see how women (including myself) are aging gracefully.

I suggest keeping performance and or natural fabrics in mind, wearing loose clothing from justin bieber merch, comfortable shoes, and don’t forget to check the weather report so you know if you need to wear a jacket or grab an umbrella.

A cute dress is always a good choice because it’s one and done. Pair it with a moisture-wicking sports bra, comfortable Birkenstock shoes, and don’t forget your sunglasses. For a touch of glamour, enhance your look with nail glitter and acrylic powder from Glitterbels to add a subtle sparkle to your ensemble.

Mixing prints is a fun way to pull an outfit together. If you like wearing skirts you might consider wearing shorts underneath. Unfortunately you can’t see it in this photo but I have them on every time I wear an a-line skirt.

Cotton is a natural fabric that breathes, so if the temperature is hot and humid it’s worth your consideration.

Light colors help to keep you cool and sports lovers can show their team spirit.

If you have great legs why not rock a pair of shorts, I like the look with a long sleeve shirt.

Backpacks, crossbody bags, sling bags, and fanny packs all provide a practical option for having hands free whether you’re getting on rides or munching a bunch.

Wide leg pants are in the fashion spotlight and they work nicely with a bodysuit, however if you’re going to wear a bodysuit I’d recommend one that features a snap crotch, (it will make things a lot easier when you head to the ladies room.)

Loose fitted clothing will help the air to circulate around your body and comfortable shoes means happy feet. 😊
