I am 75 and turn 75 this last weekend. My Two daughters that are in their 50s were here to help me celebrate and we were watching some of your videos. My oldest daughter was really excited and said she was needing this kind of help and she’d subscribed to your channel also. Thanks for your help. Love in Christ
This is Paula Goins-Walters. That black sweater you are wearing is beautiful on you. The touch of red (?) just makes it perfect! If black is one of your favorites then keep on keeping on! Looks terrific!!!
I’m 54 and feeling like I’ve just been “calling it in”. I’ve watched several of your videos and have taken to heart a lot of your advice and it feels great to put some effort into my appearance. Recently a stranger complemented me on my necklace (which I never used to wear) and it felt great! Thanks for the inspiration.
Kay, I'm 73 and I think you are "spot on" on all of these tips. Love watching your videos, and reading your blogs; and I always find something new that just works for me. Thank you so much for your authenticity and wisdom. You are a blessing!
Bonjour, I didn't know about Lisa Foster so thank you for introducing her. Just like you, she has a wonderful smile and her style is beautiful, chic, simple, tasteful, and easy to wear in our daily lives.
I like the statement you made in regard to what one wore "in your 20 & 30's that do not represent who you are now as a more mature woman." As a more mature woman, I am not the same person I was when I was younger, but I want others to look at me as an accomplished and caring person. Thanks for sharing.
Love that you always put fashion in the context of “the whole woman” and not just formulaic dressing. Addressing alternatives for those with feet problems, those who have gray, or in my case white hair, and in terms of budget and lifestyle stages, etc. Style is our totality, not a single outfit destination. Thank you Kay always for your inspiration!
Kay, you mentioned limiting your color palette and I couldn’t agree more. I used to keep a rainbow of colors in my closet that seemed to result in having only singular outfits to wear as certain pieces only worked with other limited pieces. I have found more freedom and choices in selecting a few of my favorite and best-for-me colors/neutrals each season. I have so many more possible outfit combinations now. Thank you for another great video!
I'm so glad I found your site on UA-cam! I have several closets full of clothes and "nothing to wear!" Plus, I'm in my sixties and I've just been throwing on whatever is comfortable (tee shirts and yoga pants). I look so tired and old! You have really made me want to "up my game." Thank you so much!
You are spot on the way you describe picking colors. Watching other people . We do need to be reminded to go through our closet, pass on our warn clothes, accessories that are worn.... etc. Thank you.
Good morning Kay! Thank you for this video and sharing photos of Lisa Foster. She is beautiful and very stylish! For many reasons, I have been trying to “find me” in the last few years. I felt lost in the fashion world, too. I do my best to concentrate and shop intentionally in order to coordinate several pieces that can be interchangeable. Solids do help. It’s a process but, I feel better now when I do make purchases. You have helped me so much! Thank you! May God continue to bless you! 💕
Yay! Thank you for sharing them. The ladies seem to be loving your style too. And I just thought it might be nice for me to share someone else for this particular topic (instead of calling myself fashionable 🤣😂🤣). You’re beautiful and such an inspiration!🥰
Your advise is invaluable, as always! I don’t put much effort into outfits when I’m just staying home, but I like to look more elevated when I go out in public.
I own straight legged jeans, but I find my skinny jeans fit better in my tall boots. My boots have a chunky sole and even though these jeans aren’t really trending anymore I will still wear them for this purpose. I think that wearing a trendier boot along with other clothes that are more modern, can somewhat keep my look updated. Plus, I live in Canada where wearing tall boots keeps us warm so I’ll be keeping my skinny jeans to wear with them! Thanks for all your hard work and for helping us to look great!
I'm 56, and I believe that we each tend to look better in certain colors according to our "season"...I don't look at all good in neutrals or washed out colors. I look younger and more vibrant in bright pinks, bright blues, greens, and even orange. It is important to know what colors look good on our skin, and not just think about what is "on trend" or "appropriate" for our age.
It is about knowing your body type and taking the time to organize and pick out things that fit you perfectly. I love the monochrome look because I am short at 5”2 and am 130 pounds at 67 . My first job at 20 was in a retail store and I was always picky at what I bought and wore. I use videos and Pinterest to pin outfits I like, and then re-create them from my own closet! I am a classic minimalist wardrobe…😊
Thank you, Kay- great suggestions! I also find that wearing a lovely fragrance is a nice finishing touch that makes me feel pretty & makes every day just a bit more special.
I just discovered your channel and am going back watching some of the older episodes. You hit upon a couple of things that I think are so important, the first being color. Like you, I have had blonde hair, fair skin and light green eyes, once I got a pixie type haircut, and with pale tops, I virtually disappeared. I let my hair grow and began to wear light bright colors. A truly positive change. …. But now, post pandemic and older, I allowed my hair to be its natural gray. I was hoping for white, but it grew in silver…. Not bad, but as I’m trying on my Spring/Summer clothes, I’m realizing it is necessary to re evaluate colors. i.e. silver earrings look better than gold, but a mix is good. I also will be taking your advice and pare down the mounds of costume jewelry. My goal is to balance my wardrobe with my season of life and current fashion. I have more things than I need, and feel comfortable passing things along. Thank you for your thoughts and wisdom.
I’m only 4’10” and weigh 93 pounds. Finding jeans that actually fit me is extremely difficult. Those wide leg jeans look terrible on me due to my height. Been trying to find some straight leg jeans. I’ll continue wearing the “skinny” jeans because they fit me and tend to not look so “skinny” on me. Alterations are extremely expensive. 🤦🏻♀️ Totally agree with you about keeping things simple. Yes, less is more. 😊
Loved your tips and also seeing Lisa’s style! Great way to show how different we can look while all using your style tips….money is not the factor…. Effort and choices make all the difference and make dressing for our day actually easier! Way to go girl!
You look beautiful today as usual. I only wear my skinny jeans with tall boots now. I love the straight leg more relaxed jeans. I have a couple pairs of patchwork jeans too. I have a shoe/boot problem, need to clean out the closet again. Seems overwhelming sometimes. Love blazers!!! I also, throw on a trench coat and loafers over practically anything and look instantly pulled together. I agree with you in choosing more sophisticated colors and prints. Great video! Thank you Kay. God bless you ❤ 🙏
Hi there Kay …. Wow the lady you are featuring looks a-maze-ing!! Loved how she dresses in EVERY photo you showed !!! Thank you for such an insightful video!! You are so right … we can really lose the plot, lose our way and stop trying. Thank you I’m about to put a lot more thought into looking much better !!xxxx ❤ I’m Australian and we are still in summer and heading into autumn, but all your points are still very relevant, no matter what time of year!
Spot on, Kay!! My style and color preferences are definitely much different than when I was in my teens, 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's. I'm 68 now, so I find that updated classics are my wardrobe workhorses. Also, I've made the decision to eliminate black and use navy instead. Brighter colors (tints) have made their way into my wardrobe. Now, I have a wardrobe that I love every. single. day!
As a 55 year old lady, I wouldn't dream of wearing something orange in colour -mind you it was my favourite, but I realised all shades of white, cream, or lighter colours will look better on me now. Thanks for all the help. I love your style!
This was really good. My mother always used to tell me that it’s important to dress well because if you look better you will feel better. Another tip for a bad hair day is if you can’t do anything with it wear a hair piece or if you don’t have one tie it back and wear a twilly or any other sort of scarf that suits you. Grace Kelly used to do that and make it look really chic.
Thank you for all of your hard work producing these videos! I have really been enjoying taking your advice to heart and methodically thinking through my closet. I have felt more like myself than I have in years 😊
In wondering what it is about a certain outfit that makes me really like it and feel great in it, I now get that it is your talking of “contrast.” A very good video with sound tips on a subject that can be “ouchy.” You are always gracious.
Thanks for your informative and uplifting content. I’m 51 and love your channel. I am beginning to transition my wardrobe post COVID, post divorce, and midlife body changes. I started a new job and I’m excited to refresh my wardrobe. Thanks for your tips! ❤
I love your positive suggestions. I’ve taken to heart your recommendation to limit the number of colors in an outfit. This has elevated my look. Thank you. I look forward to your emails.
I agree with everything you shared in this video. I may have missed this but we should know what colors look best on us and what does not. For example I cannot wear orange. It makes me look sick. Yellow is also a color I don't wear often. Have a great day.
Thank you, Kay for helping us keep relevant and poised as we age. Your tips are right on! If we all just make an effort, the other elements will fall into place. I always thought that wearing white was always complimentary to my skin color, but over the last few years (I am 66 now) I dabbled in wearing ivory. I feel so good in it, yet I don't really know if it is the right color for me. I find ivory so versatile, so I continue to wear these pieces. Great video.
I really love and appreciate the transition to embrace your natural hair colour. It’s so encouraging 🥰 We are the same age, I too felt very lost with my changing look. Thank you for helping me feel ‘normal‘ again 😊
Thank you for your videos. I enjoy watching them & putting to use some of your ideas & suggestions. My issue is that I'm a plus size lady of 67 and really would like some ideas for ladies of our size & age. Fashions in the stores are either way to young, too tight or too granny/frumpy. I may be a grandmother but I like to dress as a fashionable one, not frumpy.
Thank you for this very insightful podcast. I think you are “right on”! I believe your tips are correct and I have taken some of them under advisement 😊 I want to be a trendy 71 year old!!
I enjoy your videos and advice. I'm 49 and find your tips helpful as I try to figure out my personal style. You always look so lovely. It's true that keeping things simple, but putting some thought into your outfits makes a big difference. Keep making great content like this!
First of all, really good advice and Lisa Foster looks fantastic. I'm glad you featured her to show a different kind of style. I totally agree that some colors make a person more expensive looking. I love pink, but the Barbiecore pink is a bit too pink for me and does not make me look or feel expensive. lol! I see fashionable women when I'm out and about that make me wonder if they're your subscribers because they're wearing clothes/accessories etc the way you've suggested. Love your videos and blog!
Thank you for the great tips. I'm 60 and never really bought into the skinny jeans, but I love the new jean trend. I agree with all of them, especially shoes, they can make or ruin an outfit. God bless.
Love these tips, keeping it simple yet elegant. Not always easy but when I find it, I know it. And yes: effort is so important! Thanks for your videos. Your model today is lovely.
I buy classic clothes at Goodwill or on ebay. Suits with fitted jackets and pencil skirts are the best (although the dirndl skirts are more comfortable if I am going to be sitting a lot.) I still have a suit I bought almost 30 years ago, over time, lapels get wider, then narrower, or disappear altogether, then they come back, and I hang onto them. I don't know if double-breasted jackets will return in my lifetime, but I am still hanging on to one of those, too. Labels in my closet are Pendleton, Villager, Jones New York: the good stuff. One thing I learned as a kid in the 60s about accessories: count everything you are wearing and stop at 10-12. Glasses, earrings and shoes are 5 items. that leaves a skirt and jacket and blouse, (8.) you can now add a bracelet (9)) and a scarf (10) A handbag makes 11. That's it. Less than 10 items, you are underdressed, more than 12 items, you are overdressed Try it
I love your holiday sweater with striped wrists, very fashionable. This is also what i commented on marie-anne leceour's recent video. I think women are pretty naturally. Not wearing make-up does not mean neither giving up nor making no effort.
Dear Kay, I think any woman can wear any color, and I agree with you that the intensity and shade makes a difference. You talk about effort, and I appreciate that. Love that you have highlighted this fantastic blogger, she has taste like yours, I will add her to my subscriptions
I agree with what you say about your taste in colour choice changing with age. In my youth my hair was honey coloured and I tanned easily. My eyes are blue grey. While I could wear both warm and cool colours equally well I always felt best in the warm colours of autumn and yellow based colours especially rust and sage. The interesting thing is that I had an aversion to grey. It just did nothing for me and it made me feel like death. However, now that I am 69, my hair now has a lot of white in it and since I don’t spend much time in the damaging rays of the sun anymore my skin is more fair. Also, as you are aware the powers that be have decided to insert the colour grey into every facet of design and fashion in the last oh ten years or more anyway so for all these reasons this colour has now found its way into my closet and it doesn’t look too bad on me. I still refuse to put it my walls though. Haha! Incidentally, I have changed the way I do my makeup as well.
Your videos and blogs have been so helpful to me. I love Lisa's style! I hope to copy some of her looks :) I was lost when I got into my 50s (I'm 64 now), but I'm finally figuring it out over the last few years! Thank you, Kay.
Me too , I had more weight on me and had a hard time figuring out what my style was. I now am a classic wardrobe. I add updated accessories to look updated.
Good advice, I would also add get yourself fitted for some good bras/underwear! Hair/makeup also so important (IMHO). A capsule wardrobe is also a big help, as thought and effort are essential in putting one together! Once you have done it - getting dressed is so much easier - everything goes with everything, and with fewer choices, it just is quicker!
You are so SPOT ON! 🎉 My girlfriend sales "CAbi" clothes & the new spring line looks exactly like your video. Especially the denim 💙 Today's model is lovely... Thank you for all that you do.
Jeans fit is difficult for me in a number of ways. I have thin legs and no butt and some skinny jeans fit more like straight legs while some straight legs are too baggy. I love a boot cut with slim fit. Colors: I think black still looks good on me as well as bright colors. Very soft light muted colors and beige aren't great on me. I haven't noticed a big change in my coloring....I do color my hair. I have certain colors I prefer with change in seasons. I don't limit the number colors I wear but everything goes with white, black or denim. To keep my feet warm I mostly wear boots 3 seasons a year and admit I have a lot more than 2.
I’m enjoying your video today about being ‘fashionable.’ You mentioned that you can find fashionable clothing in many places. I thought of a clothing source that I don’t recall you discussing. Perhaps you could feature some women who actually sew/knit/crochet/refashion/etc. their clothing. Just a thought!
I love all your videos! I loved this one for the great info. I do have straight leg jeans and I also some boot flare jeans but I do love my skinny jeans! I feel good in them and they make me feel taller-hahah!
Kay, ❤thanks so much for your insight into fashion over 50. I 100% agree with you! I do believe straight legs are the way to go! It's time to show up for yourself!
Thanks Kay I love watching your videos and listening to your advice. I take it all in and have already upped my appearance and just take that bit more care and attention.
First of all, love your hair color, regardless of what you might call it. Color and cut is beautiful and frames your face. Love the fun sweater and I too have found I gravitate to black or navy blue since going gray, yet love my classic pinks, lavenders and blues. Love your tips.
Kay you are inspiring, encouraging and appropriate in all your videos! I recently went grocery shopping and ran into a friend from church, I was glad I had spent a few extra minutes to apply some minimal make-up, earrings and a (3rd layer) cute light shirt jacket.
Great tips even for us ladies who aren't 50+ yet. I am in my 40s and still wear skinny jeans as they suit my body shape. I don't think you can go wrong tucking them into riding boots or pairing them with pumps or high heeled chelsea boots. I do agree that it is very good to have a variety of jean styles. I love wearing straight leg and flare/bootcut as well!
I love this video. Thank you, Kay, and God bless you. God bless Lisa, for sharing her style with us. Your top, with the heart, is sooo beautiful. Thanks again for everything. 🙏🥰👏👍🌟❤️✝️⭐️✨💫
I am new to your channel and enjoy your tips on fashion! I think I do a pretty good job of putting my wardrobe pieces together, but I've learned a lot from your videos. I'm 68, so I'm open to suggestions. Thank you! I'm a fan now!
Good advice as always! Like you, I’m not sure about the puff sleeves or the patches. I am not sure they would look good on my small frame. I think you can pull them off though:)
NYDJ makes a very nice straight leg jean which is a classic cut and is called the Marilyn. It comes in a ton of washes and they come in petite, regular and tall.
I love your videos and tips. I retired almost 9 years ago and told my co-workers that I wouldn’t be shopping as much now that I wasn’t employed. 🤣 Well that turned out to be false. I love fashion and my lifestyle was more casual so of course I had to tweak my wardrobe. I did clean out and donate skirts, dresses and pants to a good cause. I did not need all that I had. However is still want to look current and have certain stores I like. Talbots, Loft, Ann Taylor and Macys are a few of my favorites and I can order on line and usually the fit is spot on. I recently discovered Evereve and Kut from the Kloth jeans. I am slowly getting used to the straight and wider leg. I have worn skinny jeans for so long! During the Covid isolation I still dressed for the day as if I was going somewhere. It kept my spirits up and I think my husband appreciates that I wore makeup and dressed nicely each day. Thank you for the effort you put in your videos. And BTW, that sweater is lovely on you. It’s in my shopping cart waiting for a sale price.
I've read that stores are still trying to off-load pre-covid & covid inventories & hence , doing extreme deep discounts to clear the warehouses . Personally , I wonder if many buyers for stores tho't the trend would last longer & over-bought ?
Thank you for sharing these tips! You are encouraging me to put that extra effort into my daily outfits. I tend to get lazy and in a rut with my clothes, especially when it's winter and I want to be all cozy and bundled up! I'm transitioning to my natural silver hair and a little nervous about what colors will work for me then, so I am going to revisit your color/tone videos and blogs. Oh, and a quick question about your Talbots heart top. It's super cute, but I wondered what you wore for jeans with it. Seems like a longer length top. Blessings to you!
Thank you so much for your videos! I just started watching recently and I’m 61 years old and my last year of teaching before I retire. I’ve been kind of just wearing whatever and not feeling very good about myself. But you have me paying a lot more attention to the pieces in my wardrobe and also adding thoughtful ones. I’d like to get some shoes and a blazer as you suggest, so I’ll look for that. I could really use some simple make up tutorials and accessorizing for the over 50 group! God bless you.
I am 75 and turn 75 this last weekend. My Two daughters that are in their 50s were here to help me celebrate and we were watching some of your videos. My oldest daughter was really excited and said she was needing this kind of help and she’d subscribed to your channel also. Thanks for your help. Love in Christ

I complement someone on something every day. A smile is our best accessory.
Kay, your hair looks fabulous. My daughter is a hairdresser so I’ve taken a screenshot for my new do.

Nor did I. Lisa has a classic and elegant style. I don’t look at Instagram much so would likely never have seen her. Thanks for sharing her looks.

Lisa is so attractive and her clothes are so well put-together. Good choice and a good, helpful video.
Lisa Foster is stunning. Adding her photos to this video was a great idea. Thanks for your inspiration and advice. You are so very pleasant!
Thank you so much for sharing my pictures! Great video (no bias:-) and I love your sweater❤❤❤!
Yay! Thank you for sharing them. The ladies seem to be loving your style too. And I just thought it might be nice for me to share someone else for this particular topic (instead of calling myself fashionable 🤣😂🤣). You’re beautiful and such an inspiration!🥰

Fully agree with skinny jeans to wear with tall boots👍🏻!
Yes, the pictures of Lisa Foster are showing exactly what you are talking about. Thank you. Have a great day Kay.
I'm 56, and I believe that we each tend to look better in certain colors according to our "season"...I don't look at all good in neutrals or washed out colors. I look younger and more vibrant in bright pinks, bright blues, greens, and even orange. It is important to know what colors look good on our skin, and not just think about what is "on trend" or "appropriate" for our age.

Hi Kay, I really like your hair in this video; soft swept bangs and hair curled back off your face ❤ Great advice!
Thank you, Kay- great suggestions! I also find that wearing a lovely fragrance is a nice finishing touch that makes me feel pretty & makes every day just a bit more special.
Absolutely. 🥰
😊
What a delight to wake up to ur video! U r spot on today, Kay
You're right about certain colors that are more helpful when we get older. Thanks for your suggestions.
Good morning Kay, I am from Jamaica and I just love your advice.
I just discovered your channel and am going back watching some of the older episodes. You hit upon a couple of things that I think are so important, the first being color.

I have more things than I need, and feel comfortable passing things along. Thank you for your thoughts and wisdom.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos. 🥰
Kay, I really love your hair. It looks glamorous!
I stopped wearing makeup during the long lockdown, over two years for me, but I’m getting back into it.
I’m only 4’10” and weigh 93 pounds. Finding jeans that actually fit me is extremely difficult. Those wide leg jeans look terrible on me due to my height. Been trying to find some straight leg jeans.

Kay your hair looks fabulous ! Thanks for the reminders and tips.
Such good reminders about embracing whatever age we are at to look and feel our best! 😊🙏

Kay, good advice. Have a Blessed Day.
Nice to see some color o. Your channel Kay!
I agree with everything you shared in this video. I may have missed this but we should know what colors look best on us and what does not. For example I cannot wear orange. It makes me look sick. Yellow is also a color I don't wear often. Have a great day.
Ah, same!
You can wear those colors on the lower half of your body though. I learned that many years ago at a Nordstrom fashion workshop ☺️
Thank you, Kay for helping us keep relevant and poised as we age. Your tips are right on! If we all just make an effort, the other elements will fall into place. I always thought that wearing white was always complimentary to my skin color, but over the last few years (I am 66 now) I dabbled in wearing ivory. I feel so good in it, yet I don't really know if it is the right color for me. I find ivory so versatile, so I continue to wear these pieces. Great video.
Thanks Kay for your tips and the fun video, women our age can still look good, love your idea of less flashy colors, it works for me!!
Thank you for reminding me of these important facts of dressing your best.
I really love and appreciate the transition to embrace your natural hair colour. It’s so encouraging 🥰
We are the same age, I too felt very lost with my changing look. Thank you for helping me feel ‘normal‘ again 😊
Fabulous video today Kay! TY!
I love the style of your model!
I think fashion style is analogous to interior design, outfits should look deliberate, but not fussy. I love Lisa’s style, too.
Thank you for your videos. I enjoy watching them & putting to use some of your ideas & suggestions. My issue is that I'm a plus size lady of 67 and really would like some ideas for ladies of our size & age. Fashions in the stores are either way to young, too tight or too granny/frumpy. I may be a grandmother but I like to dress as a fashionable one, not frumpy.
Thank you for this very insightful podcast. I think you are “right on”! I believe your tips are correct and I have taken some of them under advisement 😊 I want to be a trendy 71 year old!!
I enjoy your videos and advice. I'm 49 and find your tips helpful as I try to figure out my personal style. You always look so lovely. It's true that keeping things simple, but putting some thought into your outfits makes a big difference. Keep making great content like this!
First of all, really good advice and Lisa Foster looks fantastic. I'm glad you featured her to show a different kind of style. I totally agree that some colors make a person more expensive looking. I love pink, but the Barbiecore pink is a bit too pink for me and does not make me look or feel expensive. lol!
I see fashionable women when I'm out and about that make me wonder if they're your subscribers because they're wearing clothes/accessories etc the way you've suggested. Love your videos and blog!
Thank you for the great tips. I'm 60 and never really bought into the skinny jeans, but I love the new jean trend. I agree with all of them, especially shoes, they can make or ruin an outfit. God bless.
Love these tips, keeping it simple yet elegant. Not always easy but when I find it, I know it. And yes: effort is so important! Thanks for your videos. Your model today is lovely.
I buy classic clothes at Goodwill or on ebay. Suits with fitted jackets and pencil skirts are the best (although the dirndl skirts are more comfortable if I am going to be sitting a lot.) I still have a suit I bought almost 30 years ago, over time, lapels get wider, then narrower, or disappear altogether, then they come back, and I hang onto them. I don't know if double-breasted jackets will return in my lifetime, but I am still hanging on to one of those, too. Labels in my closet are Pendleton, Villager, Jones New York: the good stuff.
One thing I learned as a kid in the 60s about accessories: count everything you are wearing and stop at 10-12.
Glasses, earrings and shoes are 5 items. that leaves a skirt and jacket and blouse, (8.) you can now add a bracelet (9)) and a scarf (10)
A handbag makes 11. That's it. Less than 10 items, you are underdressed, more than 12 items, you are overdressed
Try it
Thank you Kay for some very practical tips.
I love your holiday sweater with striped wrists, very fashionable.
This is also what i commented on marie-anne leceour's recent video. I think women are pretty naturally. Not wearing make-up does not mean neither giving up nor making no effort.
Dear Kay, I think any woman can wear any color, and I agree with you that the intensity and shade makes a difference. You talk about effort, and I appreciate that. Love that you have highlighted this fantastic blogger, she has taste like yours, I will add her to my subscriptions
I agree with what you say about your taste in colour choice changing with age. In my youth my hair was honey coloured and I tanned easily. My eyes are blue grey. While I could wear both warm and cool colours equally well I always felt best in the warm colours of autumn and yellow based colours especially rust and sage. The interesting thing is that I had an aversion to grey. It just did nothing for me and it made me feel like death. However, now that I am 69, my hair now has a lot of white in it and since I don’t spend much time in the damaging rays of the sun anymore my skin is more fair. Also, as you are aware the powers that be have decided to insert the colour grey into every facet of design and fashion in the last oh ten years or more anyway so for all these reasons this colour has now found its way into my closet and it doesn’t look too bad on me. I still refuse to put it my walls though. Haha! Incidentally, I have changed the way I do my makeup as well.
Your videos and blogs have been so helpful to me. I love Lisa's style! I hope to copy some of her looks :)
I was lost when I got into my 50s (I'm 64 now), but I'm finally figuring it out over the last few years!
Thank you, Kay.
Me too , I had more weight on me and had a hard time figuring out what my style was. I now am a classic wardrobe. I add updated accessories to look updated.
Great tips Kay! I always look forward to your videos!❤
Good advice, I would also add get yourself fitted for some good bras/underwear! Hair/makeup also so important (IMHO). A capsule wardrobe is also a big help, as thought and effort are essential in putting one together! Once you have done it - getting dressed is so much easier - everything goes with everything, and with fewer choices, it just is quicker!
I would love to see what you paired with the sweater your wearing from Talbots. Love the hearts.
You are so SPOT ON! 🎉 My girlfriend sales "CAbi" clothes & the new spring line looks exactly like your video. Especially the denim 💙 Today's model is lovely...
Thank you for all that you do.
Jeans fit is difficult for me in a number of ways. I have thin legs and no butt and some skinny jeans fit more like straight legs while some straight legs are too baggy. I love a boot cut with slim fit. Colors: I think black still looks good on me as well as bright colors. Very soft light muted colors and beige aren't great on me. I haven't noticed a big change in my coloring....I do color my hair. I have certain colors I prefer with change in seasons. I don't limit the number colors I wear but everything goes with white, black or denim. To keep my feet warm I mostly wear boots 3 seasons a year and admit I have a lot more than 2.
I’m enjoying your video today about being ‘fashionable.’ You mentioned that you can find fashionable clothing in many places. I thought of a clothing source that I don’t recall you discussing. Perhaps you could feature some women who actually sew/knit/crochet/refashion/etc. their clothing. Just a thought!
I love all your videos! I loved this one for the great info. I do have straight leg jeans and I also some boot flare jeans but I do love my skinny jeans! I feel good in them and they make me feel taller-hahah!
i love your top/sweater
When I went to Curves I would wear exercise pants and a tshirt and I would throw on a scarf! It made all the difference!! ❤
Kay, ❤thanks so much for your insight into fashion over 50. I 100% agree with you! I do believe straight legs are the way to go! It's time to show up for yourself!
Thanks Kay I love watching your videos and listening to your advice. I take it all in and have already upped my appearance and just take that bit more care and attention.
Thank you Kay! Enjoyed your video and the tips you provided.
First of all, love your hair color, regardless of what you might call it. Color and cut is beautiful and frames your face. Love the fun sweater and I too have found I gravitate to black or navy blue since going gray, yet love my classic pinks, lavenders and blues. Love your tips.
I love linen for summer! I have several scarves that I'm still learning how to wear.
Kay you are inspiring, encouraging and appropriate in all your videos! I recently went grocery shopping and ran into a friend from church, I was glad I had spent a few extra minutes to apply some minimal make-up, earrings and a (3rd layer) cute light shirt jacket.
Great tips even for us ladies who aren't 50+ yet. I am in my 40s and still wear skinny jeans as they suit my body shape. I don't think you can go wrong tucking them into riding boots or pairing them with pumps or high heeled chelsea boots. I do agree that it is very good to have a variety of jean styles. I love wearing straight leg and flare/bootcut as well!
I love this video. Thank you, Kay, and God bless you.
God bless Lisa, for sharing her style with us.
Your top, with the heart, is sooo beautiful.
Thanks again for everything. 🙏🥰👏👍🌟❤️✝️⭐️✨💫
I am new to your channel and enjoy your tips on fashion! I think I do a pretty good job of putting my wardrobe pieces together, but I've learned a lot from your videos. I'm 68, so I'm open to suggestions. Thank you! I'm a fan now!
Super cute sweater ! ❤
I am enjoying your tips, and I appreciate that your suggestions are attainable for many income levels. I look forward to more from you.
Thank you. 💕
Good advice as always! Like you, I’m not sure about the puff sleeves or the patches. I am not sure they would look good on my small frame. I think you can pull them off though:)
Great tips Kay! Thank you!!!
NYDJ makes a very nice straight leg jean which is a classic cut and is called the Marilyn. It comes in a ton of washes and they come in petite, regular and tall.
I love your videos and tips. I retired almost 9 years ago and told my co-workers that I wouldn’t be shopping as much now that I wasn’t employed. 🤣 Well that turned out to be false. I love fashion and my lifestyle was more casual so of course I had to tweak my wardrobe. I did clean out and donate skirts, dresses and pants to a good cause. I did not need all that I had.
However is still want to look current and have certain stores I like. Talbots, Loft, Ann Taylor and Macys are a few of my favorites and I can order on line and usually the fit is spot on. I recently discovered Evereve and Kut from the Kloth jeans. I am slowly getting used to the straight and wider leg. I have worn skinny jeans for so long! During the Covid isolation I still dressed for the day as if I was going somewhere. It kept my spirits up and I think my husband appreciates that I wore makeup and dressed nicely each day. Thank you for the effort you put in your videos. And BTW, that sweater is lovely on you. It’s in my shopping cart waiting for a sale price.
I totally agree with you about denim. I live in a small town and the stores are still caring 2/3 skinny jeans. I don't understand why.
They are still selling skinny jeans everywhere… I don’t understand. 😂
Yep, just south of LA here, even the nicest stores are still displaying them.
I've read that stores are still trying to off-load pre-covid & covid inventories & hence , doing extreme deep discounts to clear the warehouses . Personally , I wonder if many buyers for stores tho't the trend would last longer & over-bought ?
Thank you for sharing these tips! You are encouraging me to put that extra effort into my daily outfits. I tend to get lazy and in a rut with my clothes, especially when it's winter and I want to be all cozy and bundled up! I'm transitioning to my natural silver hair and a little nervous about what colors will work for me then, so I am going to revisit your color/tone videos and blogs. Oh, and a quick question about your Talbots heart top. It's super cute, but I wondered what you wore for jeans with it. Seems like a longer length top. Blessings to you!
I loved the video always great tips. As a woman of color I loved the model too her style.
Thank you so much for your videos! I just started watching recently and I’m 61 years old and my last year of teaching before I retire. I’ve been kind of just wearing whatever and not feeling very good about myself. But you have me paying a lot more attention to the pieces in my wardrobe and also adding thoughtful ones. I’d like to get some shoes and a blazer as you suggest, so I’ll look for that. I could really use some simple make up tutorials and accessorizing for the over 50 group! God bless you.
I wish I could wear more of the new trending jeans, but I’m just too short. I mostly stick to cropped jeans. Those fit me as full length jeans.
That’s really a perfect option. And places like Loft have great jeans in petite sizes too. And Talbots does as well.
