Ageless Style: Four Back to School Outfits

Hello and welcome back to another installment of Ageless Style. Where age knows no boundaries when it comes to style. In fact, the older I get the more confident and comfortable I am in my own style, the choices I make and the budget I stick to. This month is BACK TO SCHOOL looks with the ladies. Most of you know that I am a full-time educator so it's back to school for me officially on Monday. But 'back-to-school' effects many moms, their children and even if you are no longer in the "mommy" phase of life, it might just be habit and memory that this time of year signifies.

I am sharing my matching vest and trousers that I finally purchased this spring, I know I was a little late to the party but I needed to find the perfect fit. The set is sold out in my color but they have it in a brown that I think is even more on point for fall 2025 and it's on sale, see vest & trousers. My Monday post was on the upcoming fall 2025 trends on a budget shee here. Let's jump in and see 4 different ways I styled this set for late summer, into fall and even winter.

Matching Set: Classic and add a brown purse to make it on trend for all of 2025!

Cute and Casual: I layered a white tee and switched out my regular jeans with my denim skirt to make it a little more appropriate for work, especially mid-week. This is the perfect outfit for a casual Friday at work and then meet up on a deck to bring in the weekend. Actually, I just might do that tomorrow.

Lacey Layers: Lace is having a moment for fall 2025 and this lacey top is spot on. Can you believe I almost donated it?!? I am glad I held on, as it layers perfectly under this vest for a professional look, but is a little racier on it's own for a date night as the back doesn't have a lining.

Cooler Days Ahead: Whether I like it or not, cooler days are coming, hopefully not to quickly. but when they do arrive, I think switching out lighter colors to a black monochromatic look with a twist. I love this all black outfit with a pop of earthy tone that the vest provides. Adding gold accessories also really stand out when showcasing an all black outfit like this. Adding a leather jacket just gives it the right amount of edge, don't you think?

Now it's time to check out the other ladies and their early fall styles! Also, remember to link-up below. On Thursday, September 18th we will be back and styling Colors of Fall.
