Ageless Style: Tweed & Link-Up

Welcome back to the first 2026 installment of Ageless Style.  If you are new, welcome to our all-inclusive blog that celebrates women from all different walks of life.  We are so happy to have you here.  I hope 2026 is treating you well.  

This month we are styling tweed.  I have featured this tweed coat on the blog a few different times, here and this really fun post that was inspired by fashion TV show icons here.  Even though it's not new to the blog,  I think it's the perfect color to mix into my more neutral winter pallet and it comes just in time to give a little nod to Valentines Day.  I absolutely love this little jacket and wear it all the time instead of a cardigan or blazer.  I especially love the detailed gold buttons.  Although this exact jacket is no longer available, I have linked a few similar options below.

I wanted to show three different ways to style it for the office or for a casual weekend day.  I kept things pretty simple keeping the jewelry similar and switching out the footwear and purse to suite the different vibe. All three of these outfits are ones that I've worn in my real life.  

#1 Cloud Dancer White

If you haven't heard, Pantone named "Cloud Dancer" the color of the year.  It signifies serenity, new beginning and reflection.  I am here for all of those things.  In the first look I played with bright white and an off white, creme colored wide-leg pants, finishing it off with cream colored pumps.  The pink, gold and brown really elevate this outfit while still making it classy and keeping the pink tweed the star of the show.  

#2 Black and Pink

Instead of white, now I played with keeping everything in the black family but I added a little spunk with the snakeskin boots.  They definitely stand out in this outfit, but I think it makes the outfit fun and a little unexpected.  What do you think?

#3 Pink Sneaks

Keeping it casual on the weekend or if your workplace has casual Fridays like mine, I think this is the perfect outfit.  The tweed coat is classy and feminine, while the rest of the outfit is weekend vibes coming in hot.  I especially love that my Adidas sneaks have hot pink accents.  

There you have it, three real life Bo approved outfits for this winter and into spring.  Now it's your turn to link-up with us and check some other blogs for inspiration. Come back on Thursday, Feb. 19th when we are going to be sharing out favorite outerwear for the season.

New Year’s Eve Glamour: The Power of a Statement Fur Coat

Friends, how did you ring in the New Year?  For us it varies from year to year, sometimes its a small gathering of friends at the lake, at home, sometimes we go out and this year we had a WEDDING, which was so much fun!  Over the years we've attended a few NYE weddings and it's kind of awesome.  What better way to ring in the new year than to witness a lifelong commitment to love one another.  

I love an occasion to get all dressed up and I wasn't about to let this one pass me by.  I asked my IG friends for some helping in choosing a dress for the occasion and then I got our my mother's fur coat.  she gave it to me a year ago and last year I wasn't hesitant to wear it because if I am being honest, I didn't want to get into it with anyone over real fur and moral beliefs, etc.  Since then I've decided that I do want to wear it because it's passed down, vintage so not something new, and otherwise it's sitting in my closet collecting dust and frankly that's non-sense.  If you don't agree, I ask you to kindly glance over this post and just move past it 😉.  I love you and thank you for being here either way.  🫶 

I wore my new  Hillberg and Berk drop earrings (currently on sale!) that I received from my sister as a gift this holiday season and a bracelet (similar) that I had purchased previously.  I also borrowed my BFFs vintage purse that fit everything I needed in it.  Needless to say everything I wore to this wedding came from my closet or was borrowed for the occasion.

So the four dresses I toyed with wearing were, 

1. Classy in Pearls
2. Sparkle & Shine
3. Long & Classic
4. Feathery Fun

For a while it was a tight race between #2 and #3 but in the end the long and classic Ted Baker dress had 41% vote and having a chance to wear a long dress felt just right.  I love the midnight blue color, how it falls on my body and it was so comfortable to dance in.  

And DANCE we did!!!!!  We closed out the wedding at 2:30 a.m. like a bunch of youngsters.  We had the best time with reconnecting with my husbands family, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends from his childhood.  I didn't take many pictures of the wedding because we were fully immersed in the event and enjoying ourselves, plus I am always cautious not to put pictures of others on my blog/IG if I don't have their permission.

Your turn!  How did you ring in the New Year?  At home? Out? With the kids, friends, family, alone?

Either way, I hope 2026 is off to a good start for you.  I hope it brings you and your loved ones health first and foremost, and then happiness, peace and adventures big and small.
