FLAT SHOES THAT FEED MY SOLE

With Who What Wear

We routinely turn to Janet Gunn, the 58-year-old influencer behind The Grateful Gardenia, for sartorial guidance. And while age should have nothing to do with your style choices, we’re always interested in her fashion viewpoint specifically given her experience over the years building a well-rounded wardrobe. Today, we wanted to gain further insight into some of the go-to shoe silhouettes she swears by. And while she wears a variety, there’s one key style she wears on repeat and will never retire. Yes, flat shoes, given their comfortable and versatile nature.

Hanging out in my Mr. Doubt Brogue Oxfords from Angela Scott / I’m 5’4 and wearing flats with a little heel fits my fashion style best. I rarely wear heels, mostly when I go to events where I know I’ll be mingling with people who are usually taller than me. For OxfordsUse Code:JANETGUNNGRATEFULGARDENIA20

What I love about Angela Scott, her dedication to detail, and craftsmanship and her shoes are tailored for women. I’d say, just the right amount of an elegant tomboy. Thank you to Who What Wear for always being a go-to for upping the style game, no matter what age you are.

Thank you for reading, keep having fun with your fashion!

We're in Our 50s, and These Are the 10 Spring Trends We'll Wear the Most

The calendar may say it’s still winter, and it still feels like it in most parts of the country, but the slightly longer days are starting to whisper that a change of season is right around the corner. No wonder we’ve got a case of spring fashion fever!

Yep, it’s almost time to put away our teddy coats and boots in favor of all the looks we started coveting way back in September when Fall Fashion Week gave us a sneak peek of what was to come in late March when spring officially arrives.

The ’60s are back…and, so are the 70’s! Oh, and my personal favorite a headscarf. Wallpaper prints, patterned midi’s and flowy fabrics all have us feeling groovy.

Since there’s a lot of fun fashion on the horizon, we’ve done our best to sift through it to share our short-list of favorites that you may want to flirt with. See More

Got White? Wear this non-color, color from head to toe and channel a fresh, clean vibe, or add just a slight touch of white to your look with an accent shoe or handbag. We noticed this flower accessory started making a comeback a couple of years ago, and now’s it’s in full bloom as flower pins are seen planted on tops, sweaters, and jackets.

Lingerie as outerwear is going to be everywhere. You won’t find us sporting midriff-baring bra tops, but we will be embracing this trend in our 50-something way. Pair a slip dress with a white sneaker and chunky cardigan (both are two more big trends for spring) or wear a feminine cami with trending white bottoms.

Nothing pricey about these white boots that were made for walking.

Marc Jacobs once said “There is never a wrong time for a polka dot”, and we couldn’t agree more

Spring has sprung and flowers are definitely blooming in the fashion world! Have some fun styling this blossoming look with a trending western bootie or loafer.

Who’s ready to spring forward !!

Thanks for reading,

xo, Janet
