    “I can’t pull this off” how many times have I said that to myself 🤦‍♀️. To celebrate turning 50 I grew my hair out! What?! Now at 55 I wear red lipstick, have big sunglasses and wore a two piece swimsuit at the beach! You inspire me that you are never too old to punch up your style and take risks with fashion and your dreams. Thank you. Heading to Paris for the first time next week- can’t wait to find a fashion “risk” there.

      Hi Tammy, at age 53 I had a heart attack last year and this July I had another one and was about to have another if they didn’t act fast. Since my first I don’t care I wear what I want , I don’t follow fashion but I like to look good and what suits my tiny height and frame. I always get comments sometimes they are really cheap clothes but it’s the way you accessorise.That is what I play up to.

    This is probably the best fashion advice I've ever seen. I think all of us secretly admire someone who takes fashion risks. Even if we don't love the look, we admire their boldness for wearing it. I also agree that the only person we should dress to please is ourselves. Stop trying to impress other people and wear what makes you happy. Thank you for sharing this great advice and your personal stories!

    Hello Erin, I feel absolutely compelled to tell you that this video was so impactful for me. As a 55 year old woman, my anxiety over aging is growing and that coupled with the fact that I don't lead a lifestyle that gels with "dressing up" and I'm not at my perfect weight, all of this snowballs into self doubt over many, many things including what I feel I can wear, etc.., even though I love all things girlie. So, this holiday season, I am going to really try to buy a piece of clothing that is outside my comfort zone and wear it to Christmas eve dinner. Maybe even sporting a red lip, too ;))

    Thank you for this video, Erin. I think I need to watch it several times. I am 51, a former trial lawyer who has been home with my four kids for almost 19 years. I just said goodbye to my oldest daughter at her college campus across the country yesterday. I am really struggling with the transition of my kids growing up, everything that comes with being in my 50s, doors that have closed. Really fighting feelings that my own life is drawing to a close and there aren't any dreams left for me. It's really clear that I need to find some way to get my moxie back! What you are doing here is so important for all the women out there like me!

      You will not believe how quickly the next 25 years will fly by. I am 75 and my REAL life began at 50 when I retired early to go sailing the Caribbean with my mate.We did that for almost five years then we sold the boat and bought a home to renovate in the tropics. We did that and I had the time of my life decorating it with tile murals, entire painted wall murals, a lovely flowering tropical garden with many orchids. We socialized, had big parties, got to know the local professional class and many expats. We found our favorite lake resort here, oddly owned by an American.
      Each five years flew by like it was a year when I was working ....I was a college professor and administrator , I loved my work, but THIS life has been so so much happier and calmer than that one.
      I started slowing down in my 70s. I just didnt have the energy to cook for crowds anymore. We started entertaining on a much smaller scale. I painted canvases, I read more, we watched films at night downloaded in English mostly. It has been a terrifiic and oh so happy life, but it has shot by in a flash.
      My mate is 80 now and we are more homebodies. Treasure every day and make your life FULL with what you love to do. All the things you wanted to do....all the things you said "I will do that later", well have a good sit down and think.
      After our home was done here, I sat down and wrote those down. I had given up painting canvases when my baby was born...zero time for that, gardening, well I had had a small garden, but nothing like I have planted here. Now it is mature and I go out on my lower terrace each day and paint. I have the time,,no responsibilities to or for others except cooking for my mate but now months are shooting my me like days did when I was working. I look up and it is Christmas...every three months it seems. So use the time now to fantasize first, what you want to enjoy. Revisit those dreams you had of who you would be as an adult.....who was that? And does any of it fit who you want to be in future.
      I find I now spend time doing lots of things I did when young before children. Reading ALOT. Painting. Playing outdoors, if I can call gardening playing, and it does feel like playing...time grows shorter for me. I have about a dozen paintings I want to paint. I have a loooong reading list of newer books I want to read in psychology, my field as a professor. I am never going to do research again, but it is so good to get caught up on entirely NEW fields of psychology research that have come along like evolutionary psych. Just for the joy of learning. On Monday I will have cataract surgery to ensure I can KEEP on reading til the end.
      Life is going to go forward anyway...it is GREAT though to get to go back and NOW do the things you didnt have time for while you were being a good Mom.
      Enjoy it all, because I promise you, it will fly by !

Though I do find it easier to pull off an unexpected look when we *OWN IT* - if it makes you happy, it shows, and reflects in the overall look. Love the look, and you will rock the look!

    This really hit home for me. I am in my 70s, and still a practicing attorney. Most of my friends also work in what "back in the day" were traditionally male fields. Doctors, lawyers, college professors, corporate executives, even some retired military. Not to whine, but often back then we were the only women in the room, not always well treated, and always always on guard. Like, for example, when I was asked during a job interview with 3 middle aged white male attorneys with a prestigious law firm what kind of birth control I was using. Taking risks with fashion would have just made us more vulnerable and given "them" more ammunition. Fast forward 45 years, and I no longer feel that vulnerability. But many of my female friends with similar histories find my interest in fashion kind of perplexing. Not in a mean way, but just in a way that makes me feel a little self-conscious. I am thinking to myself...we are still feminists, we don't all have to dress like Betty Friedan. No disrespect to Betty Friedan, whom I admire greatly. My point is just that we have more freedom now, as well we should. Your video just reinforces my thoughts on this subject; I fought for this, and now I'm going to enjoy it in my own way. In make-up, maybe with a bold lip, wearing perfume, and sometimes dressed in fashion a little on the edge.

      Thank you for telling your story. Young women today have no idea how short a time we've had anything like equality in the workplace. They take it for granted, and assume that it's always been this way and will only get better for them, when the pendulum could so easily swing the other way. But I remember growing up when there were three professions for 99% of women in the workforce that were careers, requiring education and training: nurse, teacher, secretary. Other than that, we could be sales clerks. That was pretty much it. Even in the 80s, when I was a young mother starting college classes for the first time, people I knew assumed that I was going into fashion, when I was studying chemistry. I told someone that I was a Phi Beta Kappa, and he thought it was a sorority. In the 90s, I started my graduate studies; one woman in my department refused to talk to me because she thought I was an intellectual lightweight - and she was leaving to become a nun! (Some nun, judging me without ever having spoken to me.) It illustrates the problem. Even wearing nail polish would get you ostracized.

    I love this, Erin! I am 76 and last year I purchased my first pair of lug sole Chelsea boots in a warm brown color. I received so many compliments from young women, that I purchased two more pairs in black and ivory this year! Besides being stylish and on trend, they are extremely comfortable and are perfect for the fall/winter weather here in the Pacific Northwest🥰

Wow, these sunglasses are huge!”etc. I will take what you said as a reminder not to let these comments get to me.

      Soo true! I've recently decided to invest time in finding comfortable-AND-stylish footwear that aligns with my personal style. I realized that my childhood experiences with "long narrow feet" and no real narrow shoe options (50 yrs ago) had shaped my perceptions of "what I could wear." But the shoe market sizing has changed so much so I am in "explore" mode! Quite a shift from "fear" to FUN for me!

And there’s that voice in my head that says I’m too old to wear certain things. Yet, I still want to challenge myself to take risks too. Yesterday I wore a fabulous green linen dress with some great colorful jewelry and worried all day that people were judging me. Thanks for the reminder and encouragement to just do what makes us feel happy. Fashion is for fun and for our own enjoyment. Great message.

    Dopamine dressing is a great idea 💡
    I’m 47 and I had to break out of the “shroud of black”…and neutrals look. I got excited about bright colors and color blocking. I loved the new take on mishmashes patterns. I started by buying some brightly colored acrylic accessories and some cheap bright sandals for the summer. I have found so much inspiration by getting away from the same old colors and lines. I think until you feel more confident, it is best to look at what if available new. Looking at what is new helped me get a feel for a fresh and updated look.

I fully intend to style it with black combat type boots (instead of just regular heels) to make it my own style. I can’t wait for the appropriate weather as I’d get a little hot in it right now. 😁

      yes!!! so many people (especially around where i live) seem to have given up on dressing themselves, especially during the pandemic. Never in my life have I seen so many people in sweats, workout clothes, and even straight-up PAJAMAS at the grocery store, etc. Not that I have anything against being comfortable or judging someone's situation - not at all - I don't know their story - maybe they ran to get baby formula or medicine because their child is sick at home - i don't know. But this reminded me that the other day I bought (at a thrift store) a jumpsuit, black with large, muted red rose print all over -i was showing it to my mom, as I was debating whether or not to keep it or return it, and we discussed when/where I could/would wear it. I said I liked this one since it's easy to dress up or down with accessories - she said it'd be great for a date night, I said I'd even run errands in it since it's quick and easy, and as comfy as PJ's so why not. Why not dress up to go to the grocery store - my dressy clothes are feeling neglected these past 2 years. we laughed. then I went to the store. :)

I’ve always loved colour, unique styles and silhouettes but became more quiet, shall we say, as I’ve gotten older. We leave tomorrow for 6 weeks in Italy and a week in Belgium, I’m now determined to seek out the things I’ve been on the fence about and embrace the joy they can bring to me. Plus I have a husband who loves colour and unique styles and constantly pushes me to indulge and take risks. Thank you for your encouragement to step out of the comfort zone and have fun!!

    There is a comment below that I think is so true: even if we don't like the look, we admire the boldness for wearing it. To me that is secretly admiring in someone else what we don't think we have the guts to do. This is SUCH good topic because WE need to become not only the one that is admired for our boldness, but we need to revel in that freedom of expression. Your suggestion of starting with small things is great, OR, if you are tired of being mousy, just jump in the deep end and go for it with several new looks all at once. Oh My!

    Thanks for the pep talk! I lost 60 pounds in the last year and it has been a real process to become comfortable with my new size. When I was in my skinny 20's I was really into fashion. I bought a silk rope belt in NYC that had two animal fur tails on the ends. It was the finishing touch on a great outfit. Once, when wearing it, a child noticed it, picked up the tail and started singing "Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier." I thought it was hysterically funny, but it didn't stop me from wearing it.
    But being overweight killed my sense of style. Thanks for reminding me how much fun fashion can be, no matter what our shape may be!

I wore it quite a bit but as I've gotten older, I told myself I couldn't anymore....WHAT?!!! I'm an artist, of course I can!!! LOL!! Thank you for giving me the confidence to say it's ok to still be youthful (with class, of course). And it indeed makes me happy!!

    I love this video! And am here for all of it! Recently I've been giving into my fashion sense an dipping into things that are different than my past an loving it! Wearing scarves as head wraps, scarves as tops, wearing crop tops in a classy way for a 47 yr old, tucking in tops under my bra to show just a sliver of skin, wearing cool prints, experimenting with bolder eyeshadows. Never too late to change your style and no ones opinion should get in your way..not even your negative self talk. ❤

    Thank you for a great video. I'm 65 years old and just started to take more risks. I love clothes so much and putting outfits together. I just bought myself a really light weight, like gauze, pant that's navy with white stripes. They look a little like pj bottoms. I wasn't sure if I could pull that look off, but said what the heck. I love those pants so much. I wear them with my white blazer when going out and think it looks pretty good, if I say so myself. My 19 year old granddaughter told me I looked great the other night in that outfit, guess I'm doing something right. 😊 Keep up the great videos!!

    Every single day (no exception) I get comments on my style. I know deep down it’s the other person’s insecurity pointing out that I can wear heals when I walk my dog in the park or that I can wear red lipstick at work or that I can be brave enough to wear anything. It helps to tell the other person “I am grateful to be able to express myself freely, I dress up for myself.” If I feel their comment is coming across way too negative I just mirror back and ask “what are you wearing today? Or why aren’t you wearing lipstick today?”

    Great video! I have quite a few years on you, Erin, and I encourage you to encourage others to hold to that approach as they age. Less than a week ago, I was at a large department store and was asked by a younger woman if the outfit she was wanting to try on (with leather embelishments) was too biker chic. She added that she was a mom, a speaker, and in her early fifties. I told her it was definitely not too biker chic. I also pointed out that when she is on her death bed, she will not be wishing she'd taken fewer fashion risks. That resonated for her. When we were in fitting rooms next to one another, she asked to show me how the outfit looked. It looked fabulous on her! I wear what (I think) looks good on me and what gives me joy. That varies from day to day, so I have a good selection of clothes. Do I look like other seventy-three-year-old women? Often not. But then, it heartens me to see that other women are loosening up a bit too. Cheers to taking a few fashion risks--even if they are calculated risks.

    In my 20s and 30s, we were terribly poor, but I could sew. I found an exquisite print in cotton voile and made myself a matching skirt/top in it. I bought some good quality black patent leather sandals on sale. For years, whenever I wanted to explore the shops in the expensive part of town (I called it 'hiking'), I wore that outfit and always considered myself to be the best dressed person in the shops. And I was definitely not looked down on.
