+40 Blogroll: New For July


From what began as a quiet list of 25 bloggers posted back in February 2011, is now nearing a resounding 200 count. That would by month's end there will be over TWO HUNDRED bloggers in their forties, fifities, sixties and beyond,  blogging about personal style + fashion. 

Yup. You might feel invisible, but you are blogger, hear you roar. 
Whether you are re-discovering your own style, sharing your personal style or on a mission to help others with their style, you are in good company.  And for those who appreciate style for all ages, this list is a great start to explore the diverse spectrum of style.


Here's some of the newest additions to the +40 Blog Roll.


 This Month on the +40 Blog Roll:
If you know of someone who is over forty years of age and blogs about fashion/style, please let me know in the comments, and I'll add their blog to the list!

Speaking of +40 Style, I've recently been honored to be featured over at 40+ Style. I hope this ESSENTIAL +40 style blog is already on your blog roll! If you'd like to take a moment and check out my tips that I shared with Sylvia on how to dress in your own original style,  you can do so by clicking HERE.

This post is part of Visible Mondays.
 You can see other visible, and confident people over at Not Yet Dead Style.

    I'm glad the 40+ blog roll is growing up because it's a great source of inspiration for me, so many fabulous ladies to discover!
    And I've also enjoyed your interview, love that words "My style tip for the +40 woman is to dress a better version of yourself: ALWAYS look your best"

    besos & fabulousness

    Aw, I'm still not added yet. Poor me. Someday...

    I love your quote. Invisible, NOT!

    Oh, btw, I figured out how I got good at pattern mixing. I patched everyone's jeans in high school! Then I made a crazy quilt, which also needed constant re-patching.

    Have a great day!

    What a wonderful ongoing service to the over-40 community. You may want to add Veshoevius at Taxonomy of my Wardrobe, if she's not already on your list. She celebrated the same birthday as V.

    I just finished Sylvia's interview of you at 40+ Style. I looove how you came up with the name Citizen Rosebud. Brilliant. From the start I felt you as such as positive force in the 40+ blogging community, and I can see your strength growing and growing. And it's a fun ride seeing and experiencing all this. Thanks, Bella, for including me in your blog roll for the month!

    Hi Bella! I adore that dress. If you are still in Portland, there is the best Goodwill Outlet store that has never disappointed me. (Other Goodwill Outlets have.) I am so jealous you are doing a Summer trip to Portland with girlfriends - that's pretty close to Heaven to me. Glad the Northwest is agreeing with you! You rock!!

    Hi, First of all thank you for putting this blogroll together, I'm finding lots of new blogs to read.
    I would LOVE to be a part of it! I'm actually 50 so I think that counts as being over 40 :)
