🧡How to Wear It🍁
Who knew a Cricket Sweater would be controversial?😂🙃🫣 Frumpy or a Stylish Casual Classic, what do you think? 🤔 Watch my short👇✨The Cricket Sweater styled different ways 🤩#ootd #shortvideo
ua-cam.com/users/shortsNQKXhkiQjVQ?feature=share
I love your sweater and kept thinking I need a sweater like that.
Super cute!
It's a classic and looks fresh..imo
Love your *old lady* video.
Funny how pointing a finger, leaves 3 pointing at yourself.
Styling yourself, updating and changing a 'stuck' wardrobe takes courage and screams youthful maturity.
(Even deciding to celebrate gray hair)
Thanks, funny how your 1st 3, my daughter,(43)
just pointed out to me..😮
You talk too much and you are boring!!
I think that I am 75 (today!) and have to laugh at this. I pay a good price for my sweaters, but lately have felt that the quality of the fabric is not as good as some of the older sweaters in my drawer. When I checked the labels, the older, more comfortable and better quality sweaters are 100% cotton. So, I went looking for 100% cotton; and they were not easy to find. Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger do make 100% cotton and many of he ones I found are striped and look like “cricket sweaters”. So, at 75, I am wearing cricket sweaters and I think they look fine, especially with jeans and my brand new penny loafers. Always classic and “preppy” even at 75; I don’t think it’s ever too late to go back to school. 😂
The styling is what brings the sweater into current vogue. The front tuck. The neutral pairing. The right accessories. Which just proves that old classics never die. They just show up every now and then with a new date! LOL
This is your personal opinion, I believe you wear anything you want. Who cares? You getting older is fine. Love it, love it. There is nothing wrong with being and older woman. It's wonderful.
💯 absolutely. Merely suggestions for those who want them😉
Those man jeans, tho.😂 just an opinion I dislike them on women. Especially if you are petite like me.
Why watch videos on this topic if your philosophy is wear what you want🤷♀️
I watch these videos for inspiration. Something that might work for me may not work others and vice versa. And no, it’s not just opinion. It’s good information that you can take, or leave.
So true.
Why should I care about what 20 years old kids think about my clothes?!
You shouldn’t
Im 70! I wear a lot of gray. I used to wear black and bright colors. I feel happy in gray. I can add a scarf or turban to add color. I always dress for my comfort. I wear leggings with mini dresses, or wit long skirts.
Amen
THANK YOU
I still love turtle necks for the winter and I'm wearing one today.
If you can, you absolutely should. 🙂Just a tip for those with some sag. Only sharing my perspective from my own experience . Thank you so much for tuning in and commenting. 🧡🍁
I pay no attention to the aging shaming .... I have earned the right to wear what ever I feel like putting on. Of course I like to look good, but I only care if clothing fits well and makes me happy.
I was alluding to a look, not any specific age range. I think everyone always has the right to wear whatever they want.😊 and absolutely wear what makes you happy and makes you feel good. Some people appreciate some direction and advice, this is just for those🌻
@@StylishandGratefulJust found your channel at 55 and am loving your content.
That's exactly what it is! Age-shaming. The beauty/fashion industry creates so much insecurity and self doubt we waste our savings on anything they recommend to avoid their fingerpointing, criticism. No thanks.
Like your post.
Hear! Hear!!❤
I am an octogenarian. I still wear my college days' clothes. T-shirts jeans, blouses & skirts, dresses. I recycle them as l roam in this wilderness for 50 years. Still can fit in nicely. No barebacks, as l tailor my own clothes so l know how much material l need. Money l saved for retirement. Already 17 years into full retirement. Looking ahead for more. Life is fun. UA-cam is so entertaining. No time to be lonely.
Not every woman makes it to "old lady." OLD is not a disease it's a BLESSING.
Absolutely 🌻
Amen!
True, but that isn't the subject of this video.
I am 74... I wear what makes me feel good, physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. I decided long ago to dress to please myself and not worry about what others think. I chose my own style having come to realize trying to please others or being concerned about what other people think keeps me from being authentic; life is too short to seek out and follow trends that in the long run are not going to give me the value I already have. Life is more fun once we make the determination to free ourselves from what others consider to be of value when it might not serve our hearts desire in the long run. However I can appreciate the need others have with regard to how they look to others when they're in the their 40s 50s or 60s even though I was preserved from having that mind battle myself.
You sound amazing!🤩 Just some people appreciate direction, but yes feeling good is number one💕
Right! doesn't matter what to wear as long as it's presentable!
I just wear what I want I don't care what people think. I like to have my stuff match that is just me. If people don't like what I wear they can turn the other way. I got judged by my own mother & those are the people that are critical.
76 feel same
Right on!
I think it’s about how you are raised. The women in my family were always wearing the latest fashions. My mom is 70 and she loves her sketchers and track suits . I am 50 and I just brought a suit my 23 year old niece just brought. We all look fabulous
Absolutely! 😊
The truth. I admire women who show their own taste and don’t compromise with fashion. I hope I am like that when I get older. 74😂
After years of looking at my teachers, having a mom who was a teacher, as soon as I became a teacher I knew the poor kids had to look at me all day so that affected my style. I wore colors, but I always was conscious that I wanted my outfits to inspire respect. My basic uniform was blazers/jackets and slacks or nice sweaters and slacks or dressier jeans. Never ruined any clothes and was on the floor with kids every day.
Sounds like great stylish timeless outfits. 🙂
Your students probably were inspired by your style. Paloma Picasso said that the greatest piece of art is a well dressed woman. I always try to dress accordingly. I have an alternative style so I try for a classic hip look.
I wear turtlenecks. I have a dozen cashmere turtlenecks and many more in other materials. It gets to -30° F here in the winter, and I start wearing them as soon as the temperature hits freezing at night. I'm 68, for reference. Honestly, my fashion icon from 20 years ago was a white-haired lady who lived on my street; I never saw her in anything but a black turtleneck and black pants, and she looked fabulous. Another thing I'll never give up are my tweed jackets, but none of them are that Chanel style tweed. Most of them are very subtle herringbone blazers. I honestly don't care if people think I'm old - I am! In fact, I wish people would take me for the age I am, since they usually think I'm in my 40s. I have an old body, feeling it 24/7, and it irks me when people expect me to do things that I could do 20 years ago, but now it's just not happening.
You sound amazing! I totally understand what you’re saying and agree 100% 💕Each of us are unique, so it’s tough for everyone to follow a small set of “rules”. My tips are only for those interested, wondering, or seeking direction.😊 Everyone should ultimately do whatever makes them feel good.🍁🧡 Thank you so much for tuning in and for the great comment, I really appreciate your input!!🙂
I just picked up three thin turtlenecks for layering. Glad I did.
I loooove fitted turtle necks and mock necks..I feel it makes people look effortlessly chic. ( most of the time). Im sad that I moved to the South from New England and I cant wear them as often.
I totally agree! I like to keep my neck warm. I have about 20 T-necks in all kinds of colors and wear them October to March. I also think they can be versatile...dress up with a fancy vest or dress down with just a sweater.
Plaid and big plaids are back in, and the blazers too. Wear what you want, is what I say.
After reading some comments: here's my deal- I'm 70, retired from my career last year and am now pouring previous energy into what I want to do now. Hopefully I have long since stopped caring what the hip trends are, but know what makes me happy and feel good to wear. HOWEVER I love learning and this is so helpful with information that I find positive and good to know. Thank you so much for putting this together! Valuable insights with info that anyone can use (or NOT use.) I was used to doing a lot of research myself with my job so I appreciate your work and presentation.
Thank you for watching and for your kind comment 😊🌻
102 year old Iris Apfel breaks all the rules. She wears bold colors, lots of ruffles, tons of jewelry, and is a super famous icon because of it!!
Check her out...
Her large floral prints are over the top, she wears all the thinner people say not to wear as a mature lady. I love that she has stepped out of the mold.
She even has her own rug collection now with her signature bold designs.
That’s awesome! 🧡 If it makes her happy or you happy totally go for it!😊 That’s what’s ultimately most important. 🍁
Iris is my favorite 🥰
And everything she wears suits her. That is the key. Wear what suits you.
Apfel's style is not at all attractive. She appears desperate for ill gotten attention,
She is a fantastic woman. Her sense of style is hers alone, and she rocks it! She and her husband had a wonderful life in fashion.
My parents always looked amazing. I am 70, so I saw them wear Mad Men type outfits. I have one picture of my Mom in opera length gloves, a turban, a dress and hose and pumps and that was a daytime shopping trip. My Dad wore fabulous suits, custom shirts and alligator shoes. My style icons.
Very cool! I’m so glad we all have different tastes and preferences, makes life more fun for sure 💕 my suggestions were merely for those looking for tips and direction, certainly not for those already happy with their style. 😊 I thank you so much for tuning in and sharing this wonderful story with me!🧡🍁
What you described your Mom wearing sounds wonderful, I am 62? And I am going to get me a pair of Opera Length gloves to wear !!!
I've been interested in fashion and style since I turned 14. I've always liked the feminine, sexy, flirty style and at 84, I'm receiving compliments from ladies as well as gentlemen. People appreciate and notice femininity!
So miss the days that people dressed so nice.
Wow! Truly classy fashions in their era.
Knowing I look good is the most healthy and uplifting feeling! Looking classy is fun.
I was 76 November 13. I have always dressed very feminine and classic. I ran a huge business for 45 years, and had to be stylish. Today, during the day when I’m not looking after our properties here in South Florida, I wear skinny jeans and a pretty top, and have a cardigan in case I’m in air conditioning. At night, I always wear DolceGabbana midi-length dresses (not the crap you see in magazines today like KK wears). I have many of their classic evening and also luncheon dresses, all mid-length because I’m thin and 5’5” tall and the longer length makes me taller, since I’ve lost probably 3” due to being hit from behind 3 times with crushed vertebrae in spine and neck. I am lucky that my body hasn’t really changed, but I take care of myself. I agree with others who say nobody really cares what you are wearing. I just came back from a two week cruise on Oceania Riviera in the Mediterranean. My sister and I were the only two who dressed every night, wore high heels and evening purses and jewelry. We could have cared less that other people were not as dressed. We dressed as WE always dress, and I’m not about to step it down because others are either too lazy or ill-informed as to how a lady should dress. Now I’m ready for everyone to jump on me, but as one lady said, I don’t care. I earned it!
Love this Terry, all of it!💕 You sound amazing and your sis 😉🌻
Nothing wrong with classic and appropriate! You hopefully are raising the bar for others by your example. I am with you!!!+
You are right! I watch Marie Anne Lecouer on UA-cam. She is French chic and just a lovely, classy older lady. I’m 70 and always try to look classy; like I like myself! ❤
Jewelry for me is a big part of my personal style. I have a large collection of vintage and modern jewelry and it doesn't matter if it's *in* or out. I am 68 and if someone feels my style in jewelry is *old* lady, thats fine. I put vintage pins on my jean jackets and hats. I have a black beret that looks cute with a pin.
I don't feel I am frumpy in clothes that I wear. Like I can't wear sweatshirts with embroidery or otherwise grandma type embellishments. BTW I am a great-grandma x3. 😊 I dress for the situation. I am not a conservative dresser unless the occasion calls for it. I try not to dress too young but will add a trendy top or sweater to my outfits. Life is too short to conform. I do agree with almost all your suggestions for the most part. I have never cared what people think when it comes to fashion. Have fun with fashion.😊
Oh yes!! What a refreshing comment, I’m with you and love to have so much fun with my style … life’s too short to play everything so safe … have a great weekend! 🧚♀️❤️🐝
Absolutely! That sounds like an amazing collection! And in the end you should certainly do what makes YOU happy!🧡 These are merely suggestions for those that are looking for direction or wondering another’s perspective. Thank you for tuning in and commenting,I do appreciate it. 🌻😊
I love a brooch and frequently add them to my denim jackets or other coats. I've even added a cute pin to a dress and it looked great. I agree, I would never wear the old grandma type embroidered sweatshirts lol even though I am a grandma in my 60's. We can look modern and cute and also add a touch of personal style.
Agree. Not a fan of boring jewelry either. Why bother then?
Blessed
I think all of these tips are spot on. One thing I have come to realize (I'm 68 - for reference) is that mature women are much "thicker" than younger women. What looks good from the front can be really unflattering from the side or back view. I think a tutorial on selecting fashions that flatter older women in 3D vs 2D would be really a great subject.
Thank you! 🧡Yes that’s a great suggestion. 😊🌻
Just found your channel. Great tips. I think Talbots and Chico’s that cater to an older audience have matronly clothes but show them on thinner models so they look pretty good. Love that you showed women of all sizes and ages
Yay welcome!💕 Oh they definitely do that…but really all the designers do it too. Especially lately with all the oversized clothing, I don’t think people like when I say it, but it’s true, a super tall model can literally wear anything and look stylish…I see it all the time and think, no normal person could wear anything close to that!🤣 all marketing.🙃
You're right. I still shop bloomies and saks, just buying different stuff than when I was 30.
You’re right. See my comment about. I’m sized out of both Chicos and Talbots because their smallest size, size 2 regular, it too big. I’m 5’4” tall weight 106 petite is too “short” everywhere! I buy the leggings 2 regular and get the waist taken in. Talbots has good quality so I buy their stiff. I’m 67 and don’t look like most women my age. My earlobes don’t sag. If you are in your 40s the best thing you can do is start bio identical hormones. Find a doctor that specializes in this. Your regular GP won’t have a clue
@@lisaaustin4561 I’m 68 and recently changed OB-GYN. Dr won’t prescribe HRT due to my age 😮 and that I’m a new patient. Where do you get your bio id hormones and how long have you been on them, if I may ask? Thanks!
When I was 30 and slimmer I could wear anything and feel great. Now I am 74 and heavier, and it is trickier to find things that make me feel good.
I LOVED the pictures of the models wearing the 'matchy matchy' co-ordinating clothes , in the same colours and fabrics. It looks so stylish, 'put together' and FAR from matronly! As a hater of skirts ( I'm a BIG dress fan. Which is weird as , when i was younger, I NEVER wore dresses) I do agree with the skirt suit. Im not such a lover of them, unless it's a chic, well-cut and designed flowy cut. I love v neck tops. If I do wear a higher, round neckline I accessorise with a chunky, dramatic necklace to 'alter ' the visual appearance. Ultimately, if clothes make you feel good, ladies, wear them. Say NO to the so-called rules. And Subtle shoulder pads balance out the body
I’m very proud that I’ve officially reached old lady status. I’ve grown in my silver streaked salt and pepper hair, and became a grandmother. But I try not to dress like one. I wear whatever I want while paying closest attention to proportions and fabric quality.
Your hair looks beautiful 😍 the “old lady” term is a look that I have in my mind. For instance if I talk to you about a teen or a mother, an image may come to your mind, that doesn’t mean there’s only one right answer, but you have an image to those words. It isn’t meant to be negative, it’s just a certain look. Definitely, aging is a blessing!🧡 I hope that all women care to do little things to their look and style everyday to feel their best.😊
Me,I wear what I want as long it's decent and comfortable
I’m 60. I almost exclusively wear Zara. There are lots of exceptions to your suggestions. There are some beautiful matching tops and bottoms and skirt suits in right now. MIDI and Maxi skirts or dresses can look very stylish. I spend a lot of time in Europe and women there are so stylish and break most of your rules. THe women look amazing. They also tend to be thinner than Americans which makes a huge difference. I usually check with my 30yr old daughter to see if something looks good or bad on me. So far, she approves. I’ll never dress “my age” as long as I have an option.
Totally agree with all of this 🥰 there certainly aren’t any hard set rules, just a few suggestions that I’ve learned along the way, that I hope may help someone else.😉 So glad that you tuned in and left this great comment and also your own perspective!🧡🍁
Agree. I live in France. Women here, and throughout Western Europe, dress very differently than Americans. 'Fashion trending' isn't a big thing. Chic ,classic style is our mantra. I dress in a way that suits me and makes me feel confident. I don't care what people feel about it. I prefer maxi and midi dress lengths. Personally, I can't abide shorter styles on me, They feel frumpy and aging. I'm 61, and far from old yet 😁
Omg this is IT!! Spot on! Especially with the shoulder pads, toddler ruffles, socks with sandles, tweed. As I've aged, I've chosen simpler clean lines and more neutral colors. I feel like your suggestions are more just bad fasion and bad trends, rather than aging/old lady.
Thank you!😊 Yes I agree bad fashion over all…but as we age it even looks worse. A 20/30 can wear many of these no problem. Two of my kids are offenders of the socks with sandals but it looks totally cute on teens and twenty-something’s, it would look ridiculous on me, imo🙃 Thank you so much for tuning in and commenting! 🧡🍁
I hope nobody is wearing these thing anyway. Socks w/sandals, etc🤦🏾🤦🏾.
Thanks for these tips! I'll be 63 this month, and really needed to hear this.❤❤
Thank you Wendy! 💕 glad you enjoyed it! And happy birthday 🎂🎊 ❤️
Iris Apfel is a 96-year-old fashion Icon who breaks all your "old lady fashion rules".
There’s ALWAYS exceptions to every rule 😉🧡
Iris Apfel looks ridiculous: so much effort to appear "kooky".
@@deborahsauter9794i agree. She looks like an old child playing grownups in her parents room
Oh my gosh I just googled her, I didn’t know about her. She passed on in March this year, may her soul rest in peace 🙏🏽 I am glad to see she lived her life not conforming to people’s opinion of her, people are too critical and yet we are all created to be different.
Heavy fabric dropping below shoulder makes one look heavier, accentuating apple
shape Of body. Wide V neck opening cut makes person loook wider Vs.Narrow V neck makes wider frame look slimmer & younger. Like your fresh White sweater but makes
you look just a bit older. choose longer angle side cut for slimmer affect.😀
Thank you for watching and commenting.🙂 Did you watch my short? Would love to hear your thoughts… it’s in the pinned comment.🌺
To look “younger” the “experts” generally want you to wear structured clothing in solid colors with a lot of black, navy and white. No patterns, except perhaps stripes. Heels. Or kitten heels must be worn. Jackets and tailored pants are a must to look polished. I’m not wearing that unless I’m going to church or a funeral. Try wearing those types of outfits in the SE when it’s 100 degrees and the humidity is at 100 percent for weeks at a time. No way. I would rather be comfortable, and alive, than sweating all over and dying of heat stroke.
We all do the best we can for our situations. I don’t live in high humidity, so I’ve never had to deal with that. I understand how uncomfortable that can get. There’s a lot of content creators that do live in FL, but that isn’t me so I can’t speak on styling for high humidity. But thank you so much for tuning in and commenting! 🌻 I do appreciate it. 🧡🍁
Your suggestions are very good, even though I personally think that what makes you look younger is how confident you are in whichever clothes you like, and of course, your demeanor. Most of the time, unless I have a business meeting, I wear still the same black alt-punkish cloths I've worn since my youth, and people are usually surprised when I tell them I'm 58. Those clothes should make me look like an old, out-of-time wanna-be, but apparently they don't, because they are "me", I'm comfortable in them, and I don't care about people's opinion of me any more now than I did before. I guess that's... youthening? 🤪
But thank you for doing these videos. You're providing a wonderful service! ❤️
That’s awesome! And yes if you can rock it, totally do it! My suggestions were more for those looking for direction and to advise against some of the trends that, in my opinion can age us. 😊Thank you so much for commenting and sharing your perspective I love hearing how women live are living their best!😎🧡
I am 63, and I don't mind being called 'old'. 'Old' is fine because I earned it, hard work over the decades. I have embraced my grey hairs 3 years ago, keeping a promise I made to myself, that I would stop colouring my hair when they are more than 50% grey. I remembered in my 20s, thinking people over 40s are old. 😂 So, those seasons have turned and now, I gracefully accept it's my turn. To me, I want to redefine 'old'. My body is still relatively trim, arms fairly toned, due to daily 3 hours of exercises of walking, weights and yoga. I try to be benevolent about most things, unlike my firecracker days. So, old is good.
Thanks for your tips. I will try to put into practice. 🌹
Old is good!💕 I’m not sure why there’s only negative annotations to older lady and not older man or younger people? It’s simply a description. we’re definitely blessed for every day we get!😊 I appreciate you sharing your perspective. My videos are meant to offer suggestions and ideas for those looking for inspiration. Fashion is a personal choice, and it's all about expressing your unique style.💕✨
I think the phrase, "how old are you?" Should be Scraped! And instead, "How many years experience do you have?" It totally reframes it into a positive light.
Great tips ! Mine would be wear decent supportive underwear - no point in wearing a nice outfit if everything’s not supported and smoothed. No leggings, track suits or gym wear either unless you’ve just been or are going to the gym.
Thank you!💕 And yes a few more great tips! Thank you so much for commenting and tuning in!😊🌻
I've discovered a slip will hide those little lumps that can show between foundation items.
Yes, you left that one out. GYM WEAR is out for heavens sake!
I am 65 and I remember thinking older ladies wore granny style clothes ..but I don't think they had the choice or access to clothes like we do as we have online shopping not just a local store 🎉
Absolutely! You are so right! That’s why no one needs to dress frumpy these days, regardless of actual age, there’s so many choices and price points and advice so easily available for all. But I think we all have a few outfits in mind we think of as “granny style”…. I’m still looking for the correct words to get my point across without being offensive in any way. 🌻 Thank you so much for sharing and tuning in.😊🧡
I’m 5’4” tall weight 106 with a 23” waist. I’m 67 and wear whatever I WANT to! And look better than the fat 20 somethings in the same outfit
Dang, I bet you do! 🌸 that’s awesome!! This is just for those who want some direction and advice, if you’re rocking a style you love! Keep it up! Thank you for watching and commenting, I love hearing about ladies out there watching! 🍁🧡
@@StylishandGrateful I just loved the way that you handled the shade that the old lady was throwing out there!
63 & rocking it here too❤
You probably think you look better than them, but you probably don’t. The truth is in pictures, not the mirror.
Love this, thank you. It's always good to have an opinion from someone on the outside looking in.... I have moved into my 50s now. Every decade I feel like I have to learn how to dress all over again. I've just always tried to dress age appropriate. I am almost 52, I'm allowed to have some grays and some lines. I don't think at this point I'm going to hide it.
When I was young I always admired older women that just looked put together. I didn't expect them to look like me, an 18 year old. I admired a classy, put together look. I also like the older ladies who can wear trendy stuff, but you better have the personality to match it.
I'd like to see a video on more casual looks, because I don't go out in jackets. I live in the south. I don't have a corporate job. My church is casual. The only time I would ever worry about these styles is an occasional wedding, funeral or party. I also hate jeans, the are too hot and uncomfortable to me.
Completely agree 😊🌻 I’m only 45 so at this point I am still trying to hide some things, but aging will continue to come if I’m blessed and lucky 🍀 I’m totally ok with it. The women around me age naturally and gracefully, I have no issue doing so as well.🧡 my style, I’d describe as classy casual. I do have lookbooks to come! Thank you so much for tuning in and commenting ✨🍁
I’m 70 and I agree with your suggestions, however that sweater and jeans outfit you are wearing is the exact outfit I remember my old boss wearing in the 80s. I think for some reason it makes you look outdated….just my opinion
It’s certainly a classic. 80s for sure, and they’re coming back, very Princess Diana😊 in my opinion with that sweater. But, I paired it with wide leg denim and boots for a modern twist. I should’ve added my outfit of the day to this video, didn’t know this one video was going to explode like it did.😉 but thank you for tuning in and sharing your opinion as well.🧡🍁
Agreed. And bulks up the hips drawing attention to that area
I concur. There is not anything flattering about a shapeless white cotton sweater and frumpy jeans, especially in the fall. 😮
Instead of talking and explaning in so many words wby no show pictures what are u taking about. Its self centered presentations. More of you pictures and not much examples.
Pictures speaks louder than Thousands. words.
I love the outfit
I always appreciate tips on how to look stylish! I take advice in the vein it is given , in your case trying to help me look better. I don’t have to use all of the advise, I can just file it away! My favorite shoe brand is Vionic. They have so many styles and the cutest boots. The arch support is wonderful. They are on the $$-$$$ side but so worth it! My favorite store to shop at is WHBM. I am 61 and their clothing fits me so well and I stick to the classics. I have trouble finding a good fit at Chico’s and Talbots. I also love SOMA for undergarments and sleep wear. Thank you for the video!
Exactly how I wish all would 😉 Thank you so much Carolyn!💕 I’ve never tried that shoe brand 🤔 I’ll need to look into it. I love whbm as well! Always so many classy items to choose from and they don’t require special washing and ironing! I feel about the same with the other brands you mentioned as well, but I keep trying anyway because I’ve found a few amazing pieces there over the years. Thank you so much for tuning in and this thoughtful comment!🧡🍁
I think you are right on target with these tips! A super matchy outfit, especially in pastels or prints really scream "old lady". Also those matronly, boxy skirt suits! Yuk! Great video!❤
Glad you liked tips😊…. I may need to do a how to wear instead tips video soon🤔🌸
It is strange, and terribly sad, that someone would get deeply offended by advice being given to them free of charge, and by their choice. If you apologised once you did so at least 3 times. It was my choice to click on the thumbnail, to watch the video and continue watching. Most presenters on UA-cam are making thee constant dicslaimers. It should not be necessary. Your advice ranged over a number of issues - so what if I don't like 1 or 2 of them, or even all of them. I enjoyed what you had to say. Won't take on board a number of them and will look at some issues I have. My final say - what i wrong with being eccentric? At the age of nearly 70 I can wear purple, I can show my creased neck and wrinkled hands. Live and enjoy fashion.
Thank you Dorothy! People just take things as personal attacks sometimes, but you’re right, this is just one persons opinion.😊 I was merely giving advice that’s helped me, that MAY help others. Take what you want and leave what you don’t. 😎 I certainly wouldn’t want every woman in the world to dress like me, it’s good we’re ALL different!😊🧡 Thank you so much for tuning in and commenting!!🌻
I saw women with big personalities wearing multiples of chunky jewelry. They can carry the look. Some ppl look better with pearls and delicate pieces. I usually have over 19 rings (stacked) and multiple wristlets because I love the look.
Of course. Totally get what you’re saying. My tips are for those looking for some direction and advice, but of course nothing is for 100% of the people. If you love your style, totally rock it! I think pushing most women to rock 19 rings wouldn’t work and they’d be frustrated. Style is unique to each of us and I hope ladies take what they can use from my videos and are just entertained by the rest.🧡 thank you for watching and sharing 😊🌻
Also our haircuts and home furnishing can age us. I recently learned our old faux flower arrangements are so dated. So I loving suggest you ditch the flowers on your dresser and opt for a green arrangement ie: eucalyptus or sage leaves look great in matte pottery . Wardrobe tips spot on.
It’s a guest room, collecting my kiddos old bedroom styles. I actually am not into redecorating my house regularly. But I do like old fashioned home styles. Thank you for your suggestion and for tuning in and commenting.😊🌻
I can remember when old dried eucalyptus branches were all the rage in the late 70s - 80s, I can still smell them now in the craft and floral store called Jo-bell’s. So all of this stuff goes out and comes back in style. I dread when that old gold/orangey tones come back in. In fact I’m already starting to see it, and after lots of people have spent out and decorated in dull grays, now they will have to buy all new again to stay in style.
You said what I was afraid of saying 😅
Those fake flower arrangements have never been stylish in Belgium, maybe even in the whole of Europe. But that fabric thing on the dresser or ‘armoire’ or what is de correct name is REALLY Old Lady in my humble opinion 😊.
I thought the florals looked really nice.
OK I never tell my age I don’t lie I’m 74 and I just found your channel and I love it I’ve read so many of what people are saying on here and I for one don’t want to look 20 but I don’t want to look old either, I set in a room with people, my age and older, and honestly they all looked at the carbon copy with the gray hair and just the way they dressed and then I saw somebody who’s three years younger with her high heels and classy classy look at how much better so I want to look classy. I don’t wanna look old I want to look the best I can I like your ideas they give me room for thought. To be the best I can.
Remember, I think you’re so right about the jewelry. Remember, Coco Chanel said on your way out look in the mirror and take one item off.
You are so right Marie! And Coco is correct too 😉🌻💕
I had to make myself finish watching this. I love the way I dress. I will continue to dress the way I want to. I pride myself on not being a trend follower…..but my own trend setter. BTW….I am now 65.
Thank you for watching and commenting 😉💗
Just curious as I haven't seen you before, what makes you an expert on fashion?
I have a genuine passion for fashion and a keen eye for style. I stay updated with the latest fashion trends, experiment with different styles, and have a strong understanding of what looks good and feels comfortable. My personal interest in fashion allows me to appreciate and recognize the subtleties and creativity within the field. 😉
Thank you for the tips. I am a very good dresser but I did learn a few new tips.
Glad it was helpful!🌻
Your suggestions for adjusting clothing choices are very interesting and valid observations. I’m 75 next week and I like to be stylish, so although I’m slim and fit, there are age related changes I have and continue to make so I look and feel comfortable and appropriate. Where I bristle a bit is the expression of “looking like an old lady”, inferring that being old is an undesirable stage of life. Perhaps words like frumpy, outdated etc. that refer to the style, not our age would be more appropriate. I sense you’re a very kind person who would not intend to diminish anyone by using age in a negative way. I hope you get what I’m trying to say with kindness and respect for your work.
Completely understand what you’re conveying. 🙂 thank you so much for putting it so well. I can choose different words. I certainly don’t think there’s an age that’s old, merely a look. And growing older is such a blessing for sure!🌻🧡 thank you so much for tuning in and commenting!
Thank you for your response😊 Words well chosen can make all the difference!
Good observation and good response...manners, not clothes, maketh the man...and the woman🤓
Stop being so touchy about your age, I am 80 yo and the words old lady dosen't bother me.
The words "old lady" don't bother me either, in fact makes me smile; I just don't like them used to stand for something negative (frumpy etc). We old ladies are great🤓 x
What really ages people is having the same haircut for decades, especially from the 80s. Some older ladies like the teased, poufy look, and that is their right. It ages their look, however.
🤔 I do see your point. I personally don’t see many old fashioned hairstyles, but I’m sure they’re out there!😂
Definitely changing up your DO is a must!🌻🧡 Thank you for your comment!😊
I let my hair go silver back in 2015. It softens my face. I grew tired of having color touch ups all the time. However a good cut and style is important if one chooses that option or not. I like to change the style at least every couple of years. Since it is coarse l have to make sure it is healthy and shiny. My stylist has promised never to give me an old lady cut.😅
@@sheila8730I've seen it where natural gray hair actually makes someone better looking, because it makes undereye shadows, etc., far less noticeable. My hair is taking its own sweet time going gray, but I'm not dying it.
I do matchy-matchy all of the time!! Black from shoulders to heels. My advice is seek happiness!
With black or white it’s timeless 😉I appreciate you sharing your perspective. My videos are meant to offer suggestions and ideas for those looking for inspiration. Fashion is a personal choice, and it's all about expressing your unique style. I respect everyone's right to make their own fashion decisions.
Women who were raised matching colors care more about their appearance than the youthful females who are so against matchy-matchy. The misogenistic trend became wearing mismatched clothes that make women look unknowlegeable and hideous. (BTW, I'm a designer.)
The matching top and bottom pyjama look is so fun and not going out of style anytime soon, classy and elegant for all ages, very surprising you mentioned this as ageing. I am 60s and received so many compliments with this elegant look 🤔
Like every “rule” there’s exceptions for sure. 😊 If it looks great on you and you love it, totally rock it! 🌻 thank you for sharing your experience and for watching my channel I really appreciate it!🧡🍁
I agree.
It will look better with a white tank top under the shirt. 👍
YES! FULLY AGREE WITH YOU !!
At our age (I’m a young 66) style is relative I don’t shop at Chicos or Coldwater Creek, or Talbots. (This is “old” to me! ) I watch young fashion influencers and adapt my style. If my 30 yr old nieces wouldn’t wear it, I’m not. I don’t let my belly or love handles stick out of midrise jeans,(I’m loving the high waisted wide leg style for my body type,) so glad “skinny jeans “ are out!! Classic items are a good choice for anyone. Sometimes a small touch of leopard somewhere is great, shoes, a pair of earrings, a tank. Younger people in my family actually ask MY advice on outfits! And, as others have said, it’s all about embracing your age. I know I don’t look 40, but I could probably still pass for 55! But I love saying my age out loud, I don’t get the lying about it, people know by other signs anyway we aren’t really fooling anyone! We need to be ourselves & chances are if you had no style when you were younger, you don’t have style now. But, that’s fine too!
After writing a long comment and hearing your last comment. 'Old lady' thats a great phrase...I'm an old lady embracing grey hair , sagging throat etc. Enjoying my age. Being me and grateful to the Lord. I love fashion, styles colours and being who you are now.
Your suggestions and obervations are so helpful , thankyou.
So let us women not use derogatory words to describe ourselves. Its not helpful.
Of course being blessed to age is wonderful. 🧡I was referring to a look. For instance when we discuss a teenager, you have an image in your mind of a typical teenager, although there are some out of the box that aren’t what you’d expect and can be common these days… or a mother, or a model, or a person with certain illnesses. We all imagine a typical look when describing a stage in life, it isn’t meant derogatory, it’s to explain/describe.😊 I do appreciate you sharing your thoughts and perspectives as well.
@@StylishandGrateful The difference is that the word Teenager is not derogatory, this is the first of your videos that I have watched and I won't be back.
@@laurenmcconomy6742I’m 70+ and often people think my 53 yr old daughter is my mom. She looks exactly like her dad’s grandma. You cannot control 🧬 your DNA. It’s more important to focus on health, exercise and skin care. There are 1000’s of styles to choose from and having a younger person call you old is actually hilarious. Karma is such a bitch. She’ll learn. I think learning more about life and style might help this channel but I won’t be back. There are other channels that know so much more about style and wear it well.
Seriously it appears to me she is afraid of aging I am proud of all I have done and accomplished
I’m an old lady. My grandson told me 😂😂😂. I’m good with it I’m 65. Stopped caring
Great video! Dress for your body. Not all trends work for everyone.
💯 absolutely 💕 and thank you!!😊
When I was in my teens back in the late 70’s/early 80’s, older women used to often wear clear plastic kerchiefs over their newly set hair. I remember my best friend and I wondering why women would choose to go out in public looking like that. We were a bit afraid that we’d reach a certain age and suddenly wearing plastic kerchiefs would become a viable option. We swore to one another that we’d never do it.
We’re pushing 60 now and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be an issue. The wearing of plastic kerchiefs has become a thing of the past as that generation has passed on.
Haha, neat story, love it! Thank you for sharing🧡 So I guess this is my own version of yours. I’m sure as the years roll by my opinions and perspectives will change, I think everyone’s should with more life experiences. So glad you commented✨😊
If you walk with a cane, and carry your belongings in a purse, you have no hand left for an umbrella. Either your hair is ruined, or you wear a rain hat.
A
I live in Florida a lot of people love to wear capri pants here , especially since you can end up at the beach ⛱️ . So fashion trends
are different, it is impossible to roll up big bottom, bell bottom pants without them falling down.
I think Bermuda shorts look better than capris. Also, lightweight materials ( cotton/linen, light denims ) with wide legs are very comfortable as alternatives to capris.
Sincerely I am a little bite tired of all this clothing advice. I am a French woman 11:38 64 and the best way is to be you , feelings confident in your clothe and in your skin . And each time I see a woman in my age with a personal style , I love it.
The must important encourage woman to be free … sure this video can helping some women but if you love something kee it and enjoy it ❤
Absolutely! 💕 But you have to know some people do like tips, advice, and another perspective. I certainly love hearing different ideas and tips that I can incorporate. I think you never stop learning, growing, and evolving. Thank you so much for tuning in and sharing your perspective, love it!🌸😊
72, I am ready for new ideas and advices that will beautify my looks. Thanks for all the tips. Will do it.
Yay that’s awesome Betty!💕 Thank you for watching and commenting!😊
while i agree with some of your most obvious old-lady style choices (necklaces, tweed etc) reaching constantly for the 'timeless pieces' will make you look equally old-lady-ish. (and I most definitely disagree with the duster - ahhh that is an awful look, noone should use it)
So you don’t like the duster look on me? I always get compliments on them when I wear them out. In the end it’s all personal preference and what looks and feels best for each of us. This was merely suggestions for anyone wondering or looking for direction. Thank you so much for tuning in and commenting.😊🌻
I wear what makes me feel and look amazing. I don't follow "trends" or rules. I find the term "old lady" ageist. There is ageism in the fashion industry - look at websites and magazines, and the majority of photos portray younger and NOT older women.
Do you feel the same by the term old man, teen or baby? Why is only one triggering? Maybe it’s just a descriptive word. But thank you for sharing your opinion as well.🌻
So true! We don't need to triple our age with the wrong clothing.
💯 totally what I think as well 🌻
I really got a laugh!!! One day at work a co-worker and I were talking and carrying on about people we knew and a characteristic about them….very sweet and fun conversation. She then said to me …I see you in your jewelry. How many necklaces do you have on?…..We counted them ….. SEVEN! Wow! I hadn’t really counted. Just made my choices when dressed and that’s what I usually wore. Most were ropes of one or one or two could twist around twice and then little shorter ones. One was usually a “charm” type, with dangles on it. Anyway that was back in early 2000s. She was a sweet 20-something. I retired in 2015 at 69. Lol! 😜
Thank you. I love your content here as well as friendly presentation.
As the “heat” of aging increased I changed from turtle necks to silk scarves. Still warm when you need it and you can adjust according to your needs.
That’s a great idea! 😊I find I can wear a mock neck and that’s better for me. Thank you so much for popping in and for the lovely comment!🧡🍁
If this host thinks she has such great fashion advice why is she wearing ill fitting clothes herself? I think it's great she thinks so much of herself but I certainly wouldn't take her advice seriously.
No one is making you take my advice 😉 merely sharing my thoughts to hopefully help someone. But thank you for tuning in and sharing your thoughts as well.🌻
The one unequivocally great thing about reaching "that certain age" is that one no longer needs to care quite so much what others think of one's choices.
I can remember being a teen and crying myself to sleep because a mean girl told me I looked "too skinny" for my chosen attire.
Now at 60 I wear whatever I want and though I wouldn't wear clothes that don't flatter my figure, I'm certainly not going to avoid wearing something that somebody might - oh, the horror! - deem "too young" for me.
🎯👍👏🇵🇱🖐️
That girl was jealous of you
I am guilty of maxi skirts and big necklaces:) and a cropped pants, and what I figured that with me being on the taller side (5.7-5.8), that one inch (sometimes two) makes all the difference:) thank you, great tips
I love shoulder pads. They take 10 pounds off my hips and 10 years off my age!.....
Nice! 🌸Then you should absolutely wear them! That’s amazing. 😊I think the issue is women think they can wear ANY shoulder pad, when it’s very much an individual thing size wise and even style wise. They can look great in some styles on some women. I just see too many women wearing an incorrect size that really isn’t helping them. So overall I’d say skip it to most unless you’ve found your flattering style. 💕😉 Thank you so much for commenting and giving your perspective!🌻
I sew shoulder pads in all my jackets. They are great for a pear shape. MM styling on UA-cam always adds shoulder pads to balance the pear shape.
I don’t think she’s telling anyone what to wear and not wear, she’s sharing opinions, and it’s not just her opinion.
I’m 58, and these are some things I agree with!
If you’re comfortable wearing any of the things she have opposing opinions about, go ahead snd rock your style. She’s not saying not to wear it, but if you don’t want to add an aged look to your style, you may want to look at what you wear, if it’s making you feel a little older than you want to, take stock in what she’s sying
Ok...I get it. Absolutely. I'm 55+ and I want to look stylish, but recognize that I'm not always going to please everyone. You know (me thinking out loud here), there is a certain freedom to being older. I worried so much in my 20s, 30s, and 40s about what people thought of me if I wore certain things that were too big, too small, too slouchy. I worried about being too big, too short, etc. You get what I'm saying. I recognize the value of altering things that are currently on trend to fit our changing bodies. We want to look good and feel good, but darn it! I don't want to care sometimes, lol. It should be about how it makes you feel. 'Old lady' has such a negative connotation, doesn't it? It is what it is. What I think I look like in my mind is different from what I see in the mirror, and perhaps starting with being kind to each other is where we begin. I'm still learning to be kind to myself because you know it's hard not to find negativity out there every day. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and great ideas.
Totally understand.😊 my intentions were to help those looking for direction or my perspectives, it’s not for everyone certainly. Just what I’ve found and realized over time. I think we’re just in an age range where we’re not young and not old and finding the proper balance of style and comfort can be challenging, so hopefully this helps whoever needs it and those that don’t need it were at least entertained 😉🌻 thank you for sharing your thoughts and perspectives as well!🧡
I love what you said in this comment . . I like the way I feel being kind. My days feel more bouncy and light when I'm friendly and kind to those around me. Being nice to myself has taken a long time to achieve and I'm still a work in progress . . My favorite thing to say to myself when I'm not nice to myself is " we're not talking like that anymore'
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you I like what you had to say
Peace
✌️
Kindness is a key word In your response. I agree, I try to not hurt people's eyes but my comfort and freedom of choice to express myself in what I wear. Getting closer to heaven where I hope I have a beautiful white caftan😂 67yo
You shouldn't care so much about what others think! Do what works for you and cut the toxic people and their opinions out!
I appreciate your comments & ideas I don't want to look matronly or frumpy one big thing I've learned recently is about crop pants they don't hit the legs at a good spot as I live in the desert where summers get to 115° it's hard when u don't want to wear shorts going out if you could do a video on that it would be great I think bermudas shorts are coming back thanks for your video ❤❤
Wow! I’m 45 years old too.
You are absolutely correct! My mother was so pretty and always took pride in her appearance. She got compliments wherever she went, but that was not her intent. She was just a very classy lady! And I try to also take care of myself and dress as if I like myself. Love your channel. ❤
Thanks for sharing, what a nice memory!!😊🌻 and you’re welcome 💕
i rely on Footwear etc online. The VIONIC and Clark brands on sale and clearance save a lot on orthotic comfy shoes both casual, dressy, boots, and sandals
Totally agree 🌻😊
I think hairstyles can age woman too. Change once in awhile and update your look
This was mostly just fashion/style tips I focused on, but you certainly right! Thank you for tuning in and commenting!🧡🍁
This is your show and Im totally entertained by it. I do believe women over 40 can still rock a lot of the “trends” 👏🏼🤷🏻♀️ you just have to know how to modify for your body type.
Absolutely 👍 thank you for watching and commenting💕😊
My tip.. lighter tank top darker sport coat, blazer,
Great tip!
As a hairdresser, I am standing up, on my feet, from 5am till 9 pm at night, so I wear a quarter inch heel, at the highest, which is great foot support.
Happy feet, happy hairdresser.
Oh my, yes! I don’t know how you ladies do it, that’s a taxing job. But we all appreciate you! I do cringe when I see the young gals in 3inch heels, I’m like ohhh that’s going to be painful 4 hours in. I’ve never been able to wear really high heels for very long, couldn’t imaging to work for hours! There’s too many cute shoes to be in pain. Thank you so much for this comment and for tuning in😊🧡
I'm 52 and I still wear ruffles. They said I don't look my age, as long as I'm comfortable with what I'm wearing I don't think it's bad
Agree Chicos and Talbots have frumpy clothes.
😂 … not what I was saying exactly. 🤔I did kind of mention instead, to just choose ONE piece and not the whole set. The stores like to sell and people like easy options, that’s the issue. Thank you for watching and commenting!!🧡🍁
I LOVE your sweater!!! ❤
Thank you 🥰🌻
My mom stayed very stylish and age appropriate well into her 80's. So much so that young people complimented her often. I dress using a lot of rules out of her playbook. Thanks for the tips.❤😊
I enjoyed the video. Some of these tips should be common sense, but of course, the video focuses on those who struggle with fashion as they get older. I am 65, and I have always enjoyed looking my best, and that can be done at any age. The issues I see with many women in my generation are two things. First, we have "The Lola's, who keep looking at young women to keep up with their styles, not realizing they are no longer young. Then, of course, we have those who give up and let themselves go, acting like they are okay in their old age! Those are people more prone to having health issues as they age.
I decided when I was young that I wanted to grow old gracefully! So, as I age, I like that I can dress elegantly and young people can't do that! Whether in Jeans at a Gala, I can always look put-together and elegant. That's why I like to watch these types of videos, as they can give our age group more options as they age.
Aging can be a beautiful thing. I still have men that swamp around me, I love it!
I agree 💯% This is exactly how I think and feel about aging. Thank you so much for watching and commenting, I really appreciate and enjoyed reading your input. 🧡😊🍁
@@StylishandGrateful Thank you, I enjoyed your video, and I did subscribe. .
Great comment. Bullseye on the old lady extremes: trying to look young or accepting disappearing into the woodwork.
My mantra: it's not about looking young,it's about looking great.
I watch video like this to reignite my interest in myself. It's fun.
I work in a shoe store with mainly women's footwear. Recently I have been noticing how well women of all ages who come in are dressing. Maybe Covid has had some part in this with being stuck at home looking at videos like this because post Covid a lot of women have really upped their game in how they are putting their outfits together - it's fabulous to see and they really look like they're enjoying what they're wearing. Thank you for your honesty and courage to bring this video out in a very sympathetic way 🙂
Oh I love to hear this! That’s so wonderful! It really does make a difference on someone’s own self esteem and how others treat you. The shine a woman has when she feels good definitely radiates 😊 thank you so much for sharing this lovely comment and for tuning in!🧡🌻
Wear what makes you happy and not other people opinion
In England, hat wearing is a cultural thing. It is a requirement for certain events there.
I thought so…😉
Yes, but probably only for a posh wedding, Ascot or if you are invited to the Kings garden party? I live in the UK and have not worn a hat for about 20 years, maybe I don't get invited to the right events then?! I checked with my friends, aged from 50 to 80 and they were amazed by the idea of anyone wearing a hat these days. Just wondering @c16621, where you live?
Use your own judgement. Wear what you look good in. Satisfy yourself. Be happy!😊
I just turned 40 this year. I was ready to type a whole rant on wearing what you want... but I actually agree with a lot of these and have done them my entire life. And this is with me having a degree in fashion Design and marketing. I'm always told I look significantly younger than I am. But I've spent years mastering the art of my personal style regardless of trends.
People should always wear whatever they want, I completely agree. This is just my own reflection and trying to offer my perspective to those interested… that all😊🌻
Thank you. Appreciate and totally agree with you
😊🌻
Great ideas, thank you. I'm guilty of wearing clothes too big. I see comments about not caring after "a certain age". I care because I'm not happy with what I see in the mirror and appreciate advice. It's about ME being happy not everyone else. So thank you!
Thank you Sharon!😊🌻 We all do it, a reminder now and then hopefully helps💕
OMG... that sleeveless blue shirt with ruffles o sholders!! The collar compensates so much!! It's for any age.. LOL.. 🤔... I think the 'what older Italian women wear' may help you...
I appreciate you sharing your perspective. My videos are meant to offer suggestions and ideas for those looking for inspiration. Fashion is a personal choice, and it's all about expressing your unique style. I respect everyone's right to make their own fashion decisions.😊🌻
Always helpful to get good advice on how to stay current without doing “mutton dressed as lamb.” Thank you 💐🦘
Awe thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it🧡🌻
I love my big sweatshirts.I live in Boston wear them about 70 percent of the year. Being comfortable .and saving money on clothes is way more important to me than what anybody thinks of me.
Totally reasonable perspective. 😊 Thank you so much for tuning in and commenting🧡🍁
At a moment, when I am feeling empowered to wear something sexy or fun, you are telling me that I should value what a 20 year old thinks more than I do?
No thank you.
I appreciate you sharing your perspective. My videos are meant to offer suggestions and ideas for those looking for inspiration. Fashion is a personal choice, and it's all about expressing your unique style. I respect everyone's right to make their own fashion decisions.
Why let a younger generation determine your relevancy? You are just giving into ageism. Mid-life is the time to stop giving an F about all that. And honestly, my mother in law and her friends who are in their 70s and 80s and they are very coordinated and they look great, put together, and absolutely gorgeous and proud. I hate this shame game. We are coming into our power and you’re advice is to please the younger generations.
Totally!😊 It isn’t about shaming or changing anyone. 🌻 Giving my perspective to those who care to know or want some direction or want to consider what they are doing during the process of aging is helping in my opinion. Certainly no one is forced to listen. Take what you like, leave what you don’t. I just give advice based off my own experience to hopefully help others. 🍁 Thank you so much for tuning in and giving your perspective, I do appreciate it. 🧡
I'm 65, I've had 5 children. The most that you have shared, I agree with tremendously. My favorite is in the end. You, do you. My whole life because of genetics, having 5 children, and a whole lot of stress, I have a belly. I hate it! I have to deal with it. I wear lots of high waist clothing, like the baby doll dress. Well, with that being said, I feel at times even though it looks better on my frame. I'm too old for the style. What would you suggest?
Hi Dori! Thank you for tuning in and sharing.🌻 I totally understand, I had 4 kids and tons of stress too. I too have a belly (mostly not because of the foods I love😉), that I have learned to disguise. It is helpful that I’m tall, that camouflages a lot too.
What I opt for when I’m feeling a little heavier in the mid section is a button down shirt or a third layer. I do this all year round and I find it is the most forgiving and stylish easy look. Hope that helps 🧡🍁😊
Very honest recommendations & a way to update your look w/o breaking your bank account! We all need to get rid of out of date food & clothes, less is more. 😊❤️
Thank you for watching and commenting 🧡🍁
I still have some clothes from the 80ies and the style is back in fashion. I would suggest to be careful when you sort out clothes. You might regret it.
I shop at thrift stores. I never buy anything that looks worn out or damaged, & people always think that my clothes are brand new & expensive. Especially if you like to wear a trend but don’t want to spend a lot of money
Agree 100%👍
For any age, the ONLY rule you need is : if you lived thru/wore a specific trend in your youth (cropped sweaters, low slung jeans, docs with baby doll dresses etc) you are not allowed to repeat that trendy trend as an "adult". But life is short, wear what you want...you'll figure this out over 50 kiddo.❤
That’s a good rule😎 I like that! And yes! For sure, in the end wear what makes you happy regardless🧡 But some people like direction or a few seconds opinions, so that’s what I’m sharing 😉🌻 thank you for tuning in and sharing your tip! I’m totally implementing that idea 👍
Not true for me. I'm returning to pants I loved in my late teens. Straight loose leg painters pants cargo pants very wideleg patterned pants.
💯
Love your last printed quote!
Great job!!!!! i’m a 65 year old hip, modern, stylish lady and I don’t look my age. 🎉I love fashion, and I agree with every word, you nailed it.
Awe thank you so much Dianne! 💕 Thank you so much for tuning in and for this kind comment!🍁😊
There is nothing wrong with looking one's age. Just wear well cut items that flatter your shape and make you feel good when you look in the mirror. I hope I never look "hip" again.
Mini skirts and dresses!
Monochrome in black and navy blue with chunky jewellery . Works for me .
Use to love the show, what not to wear. I learned a lot from that show…..
I am 70 next year, living in UK and would not dream of wearing any of the frumpy clothes you mention, so not sure who would? I do love a maxi skirt, but narrow cut and worn with tee shirt in summer, but then I am 5ft 9in and I can often buy the ones that are on sale as many ladies are too short to wear them. I used to wear gold finish jewellery, but feel that looks a bit old lady now, so prefer silver and more streamlined, modern stuff, only one item usually, although maybe a silver bangle and earrings if going out in the evening. I live in a cold, windswept area, so always on the lookout for modern cut, warm coats, like puffers, cut well, often at a bargain price in TK Maax!
Wonderful!🙂 You sound like you’ve got your style that you love down!🌸 Thank you so much for giving your perspective and tuning in and commenting.🧡🌻
