@melissamurrellstyling: In this reel I’m showing the difference between an outfit that looks modern and one that instantly dates you.

It’s not about dressing head to toe in trends, it’s about mixing just one or two updated pieces.
 Balloon jeans, a small kitten heel and a simple blazer gives you an effortless, modern, pulled together look. And the best part? Even when the blazer comes off everything still works

When it doesn’t work it combining black trousers and black heels.
So many of us over 40 reach for these items but it just drags the whole look backwards.
 Swap back to the updated outfit, add a cute heel, a coordinated bag, a touch of jewellery and suddenly you’ve gone from dated to modern chic without trying too hard.
 Which look are you guilty of wearing more, the dated one or the modern one? We CAN’T add a clickable link onto Tik Tok (they won’t allow us). So head to our bio and click on the link to take you to LTK where you can shop all of our posts. https://liketk.it/5G3mF #ltkwinter #LTKfestive #LTKjeans
