the style file: Barb

In this week's edition of The Style File, we'll profile Barb, a fashionable mom of four (also fashionable) daughters who proves you can rock your own unique personal style at any age! If you haven't already, learn more about this weekly feature with our inaugural The Style File with fashion + food blogger, Madeline.


name: Barb

age: 53

hometown: St. Paul, MN

occupation: Customer Service Representative for Target

who is your style icon?: I don't think I could define myself by just one! My style tends to be more of a hodge podge and smorgasbord of looks that I like - bohemian, ralphie, stripes, crocheted, bright colors, black & white, girly yet masculine - see, I can't decide!

how has your style changed as you've gotten older?: I am definitely buying better, higher-quality pieces and spending more time shopping for the right piece, compared to the sweatshirt and jeans I wore when I was younger raising four daughters and ensuring they had all the cute clothes instead.

how long does it take you to get ready in the morning? I can usually be ready in an hour without rushing, but mind you, I do wear a uniform so most of the time is spent on plastering the wrinkles, crow's feet and age spots I've acquired with make-up ;).

finish this sentence: every woman should have _________ in her closet. A great pair of jeans...or two!

heels or flats: Everyone who knows me, knows that's a no brainer - heels, even though I am 5'8!

fall trend you are lusting over: I would love a great pair of Frye Boots and some chunky knit sweaters for fall.

three items from june ruby you'd most like to own: The Plenty Zip Cardigan, Sanctuary White Peace Pant and LAMade Long V Tee all seem like great layering pieces for fall. And yes, you CAN wear white after Labor Day!
