Hey Fashion Besties! 🎉 This week Holly is giving us the ultimate pep talk (and style guide!) about dressing with confidence after 40. And we mean, waaaaayyy over 40!

If you’ve ever stood in your closet and wondered if what you’re wearing makes you look chic—or just old—then this episode is for you. For real. 

Holly breaks down the silhouettes, outfit formulas, and style myths that every woman over 40 needs to toss aside once and for all. #1 style hack that is never out of style? Confidence. 

The truth? It’s not about age—it’s about how you want to feel. And this episode is here to take away any "frumptastic" feelings you may have. 

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔️ The Most Flattering Denim Ever

Della Denim Trouser – Available now at www.wearthisnotthat.shop

This jean is a game-changer: a slight flare at the hem for length, a subtle built-in control panel at the waist, and back welt pockets that lift and flatter your shape.

These jeans fit clients from size 0 to 16, and they look amazing on everyone, believe it or not. The 28” inseam works for petites and the 33" inseam is perfect for the taller beauties.

✔️ High-Waisted Jeans Pep Talk

If you’re straight up-and-down or “square” in the middle, high-rise denim creates curves where there are none and defines your waistline. #YYYAAASSS

Don’t fear the waist—embrace it! Just when you think you don't need to accentuate your waist, you do. 

✔️ Dresses That Save the Day

A-line and midi dresses that skim, not cling, are your secret weapon. And guess what? A new Denim Midi Dress is coming soon to wearthisnothat.shop—perfect with cowboy boots or sneakers for fall! Loving this journey for you.

✔️ Stop Hiding Those Arms!

Skip the sleeves and try a sleeveless blouse or tank that hits right at the shoulder line. It draws the eye up to give you a longer, leaner look. No more arm-shaming...it's so freeing to unchain yourself from thinking you cannot show your arms. Yes. You. Can.

✔️ Embrace Color & Prints

Prints can balance proportions: tops with patterns minimize a fuller bust; patterned skirts can create curves. Back awwwaayy from the black.—step out with confidence in color. Color and pattern are unexpected and breathe life into any look.
