[quote=Anonymous]I have shifted to mostly buying classic staples from brands like Everlane and Quince, mixing with consignment finds I buy in person or get on the Real Real. I also raid both my DH's closet and the mens section ALL THE TIME. I don't know that I'm on trend necessarily, but I like how I look and feel both comfortable and sexy.

Favorite recent buys:
- pink pleated chiffon midi skirt from Quince, which I've been wearing with gray boots and an old gray wool sweater of my husbands that fits oversized on me, with a long gray overcoat and a big pink/gray/blue/green floral wool scarf I bought second hand.

- Gold sneakers from Cole Haan I wear with pretty much everything in the summer, and with jeans in the fall. Loving them as a way to dress up casual outfits, and loving gold generally as a true neutral that goes with everything in my closet.

- A black short sleeve jumpsuit with wide, slightly cropped legs from Calvin Klein that I bought at a TJ Maxx during an emergency shopping trip for a specific event where I needed to by slightly dressy, in black, but could not be a dress or skirt and also it was hot. Turns out it's an effortless summer outfit with fun jewelry and strappy sandals, but I can wear it with Chelsea boots and layered over a colored or patterned turtleneck in the winter and it's got a artsy vibe while also being super easy and comfortable.

Again, I do not hold myself out as a paragon of good fashion, and I agree with OP and others about the state of fashion trends and most departments stores and mall brands, but I'm still finding stuff I like and feel good about, that feels age appropriate (mid 40s, white collar job in a creative industry, one kid under 10). But I shop way differently than I used to, don't buy fashion magazines anymore, and kind of don't care if other people think I look good. [/quote]
