🧡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
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..😮
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
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.
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.
What matters to me personally is my health and my heart and soul. It’s great if people are looking for advice about what to wear or not wear. But being in my mid 60’s, I just want to wear what’s comfortable to me and not worry about what others are thinking or saying.
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!🧡🍁
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!
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🌻
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 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!
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.😊
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.
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.
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.
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. ❤
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 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.
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!
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
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 😁
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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😊🌻
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.
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 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!🧡🌻
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.)
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!❤
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.
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!🧡🍁
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!
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!
Some great advice here! I'm 66, have gained some weight and was wearing clothes 1 to 2 sizes bigger in bulky styles to try to cover my tum and large chest, but it never works. I was pleasantly surprized when I bought a top that was actually in my size and fit me. It made me look thinner. I make sure my blouse shoulder seams come just to my natural shoulder line rather than way further down. It really makes a difference getting slightly form fitting clothes. I think you are awesome. Please do not feel offended by the naysayers in the comments. I get the similar pushback when I discuss makeup on my channel, lol. Some people just want to look like they gave up and get defensive about it. Thank you!❤
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
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 ❤❤
Seriously. By the time you got done it’s like what can I wear. I have always LOVED big chunky jewelry has been a part of my style. I have a fabulous black mink pillbox. It’s vintage. I can wear it instead of aVeiling for Mass. I love the look of long skirts with a red and lots of jewelry. I love beads…excess boho look is me and I constantly get compliments. I am 71 and everyone who does not know is stunned. I’m told I look 55 to 60. Much of fashion, style is putting together a look that is uniquely you then head up shoulders back and a beaming smile. CONFIDENCE is everything.
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.
Well done video, Liz! I peeked at a few comments, most of which are along the same theme as on other similarly themed channels. I am 64 and of the same mindset - I will wear what I like and what makes me feel good, whatever anyone thinks. Having said that - I also think most of us want to leave a good impression, especially with strangers. I have met many women who brag about not caring, to the point of looking like they made an effort to look like an unkempt slob Maybe there is a fine line between not caring about what others think and not caring about oneself. I grew up in a very rural part of the Northeast and we were far from "well-off". My mother did not have the latest styles or a closet full of beautiful clothes, but she was always neat and tidy, dressed as best she could and never left the house without lipstick. She was stunning.
Thank you!🌻 I enjoy heating others opinions and thoughts on fashion, it’s at least some good for thought!😉 Your mother sounds like she was classy 🌺 Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts.
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.
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.
I am at my 60s but petite. I wear according to my body. My body dictates what to wear. I can't wear oversize outfits simply because I am 60. I wear what suits the body structure . I wear skinny jeans and all the NOW TIME CLOTHES. I am forever young and I am PROUD. I dont look 60 , but 45. I thank God for my body structure.
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.
I think a lot of us refer to pre internet days and think we need to take what is convenient and close, but with some research and patience there’s a lot of choices these days for sure!🌻😊
I’m 84 and I think you are a lovely young lady! I enjoyed your show and your wonderful comments! Not wearing black is something I am going to work on! I’ve been wearing black and white for some time! I’m going to switch to cream and charcoal! Thanks for your show!
I am 63, and I appreciate your tips! I could live for 30 more years, so why give up fashion now! Nothing crazy, just looking classy and avoiding the worst fashion mistakes!… Thank you for this video! 👏💕
I had very few things and always bought high-quality so I'm all set for life by the time I graduated high school so I'm going to wear what I damn well please and that means all my high quality clothing that I had by the time I left High School😊
Amen! I know that some of the items on your list seem obvious but thank you for the reminder. Sometimes we forget that aging gracefully does not mean being trendy.
Just turned 66 and go for classic styles, statement pieces, good quality, a few modern pieces added here and there. Big pet peeve of mine is hair! Get a style and cut that works with a changing, older face. Grey is fine. A little makeup too to brighten less colorful skin. Stand up straight and smile!
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. 😉
Right! I stay with the basics and the classic style which is timeless for young ladies and older ladies. For example the nice sweater you have on is timeless. Navy and white stripes.
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!
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! ❤
Great observations! Maxi skirts can be very chic when paired with a heel of some sort. Flats make them look more matronly to me in addition to not balancing the top like you mentioned.
I always wear maxi skirts with flats, but then I always wear flats, never been able to wear heels, even when young, and they always feel frumpy on me when I try to wear. I am 5ft 9in tall, and find that my shorter friends can wear them better than me. I go for slinky flat sling backs for instance or sexy sandals or even white trainers. If the other things you wear are not frumpy, for instance, a vee neck tee instead of shirt (which I find feels frumpy on me) I think flat shoes looks fine.
I’m 59 & I’ve never been one to follow fashion or trends. I pretty much have the same tastes as when I was a teenager. I have had lots of strangers, including young people compliment me on my style. Im an individual & I dress for myself. 🙂
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.❤😊
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.
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!🧡🍁
Great video Liz really amazing information if you are worried about your neck when you wear a button down or v neck you can wear a twilly scarf the silk or satin type to hide your neck a little bit and the pleated pant the ones that usually cause the tummy issues the pleat starts to open up right from the waistband which then if you have a bit of a lower tummy can open up from the waistband making your tummy look bigger than it is either check before you buy them that the pleat stays together until it's at least halfway two thirds of the way between your waistband and your hip that way it doesn't open at the top of your tummy if you have pairs already that start at the waistband just fold that pleat sew along it so it opens up lower down and then you can wear those trousers and them be flattering too instead of get rid of them hope this helps someone 🥰
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.
I really appreciate this. Of course we can all make our own decisions, but I do feel like I’m not out and about as much as I was when I was younger and I love getting input like this.
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!😎🧡
Love the cricket sweater. I live in an area of CA that doesn’t experience a lot of cool weather, but have been noticing this style worn more often over the past year. I like the fresh look of it personally. New Subscriber. Thank you for the great content!
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! 🧡🍁
Lol! You are fun! 🎉 This has been great! New subscriber! We really do have to look at ourselves with love❤️ At 70 i decided i need turtlenecks back in my life-- yes jawline is sagging but the knit (not worn tightly!) is so fun to wear (styling hair right is also important). I don’t need a scarf for the cold as often -and the 🐢 helps hide other things the aging neck presents us with😂 Best fashion accessory is a big smile so keep those teeth healthy! 😊
Ahhh good points. 😊I used to absolutely love turtlenecks under 40, but recently I’m having some excess sugar skin sag🫣 so a bit earlier I think because of my poor diet and too much Sun🙃 I do like one, but not too tight and not too loose…. for me it highlights the issue, so just thought I’d share in case. I’ve kind of replaced them with scarves myself….. but I’m ALWAYS open to try again! I’m so glad you found me and welcome!!🌸 Thank you for the lovely comment!!🍁🧡
Very interesting - just remember that fashions (and your taste) change over the years 😊 what makes you think that your advice is definitive for all times ❤
Absolutely 😉 these are my tips and perspectives I’ve found helpful up to this point…. Stay tuned as they may change 🙃 thank you for tuning in and providing your opinions at this time as well 🌻😊
I appreciate you care for older women. A lot of young people do not think of older ladies much. on right on it too. I agree with so much you are saying. My grandmother and her sister were so elegant even I everyday wear. They followed a lot of that. We all want to look our best no matter how old we are. At least I do. Thank you it took a lot of time to put this together. When I dress halfway decent, I feel better. I am sixty-five and when go I could wear whatever I wanted. Now I gained weight so often have trouble spots. Peace!
I love your advice. I've always avoided the Miami Beach cougar look: animal print head to toe, too much clanging jewelry, severe make-up, dark dark suntan. I prefer a softer look. I'm 70 and I follow the same rules as the ones you suggest. And I still get looks and comments on my style from younger people. Keep up the great advice!!
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.
Liz, you are KILLING it with your videos……I am glad to see you continuing to offer a lot of content in each video, they are chock full of information and I am always entertained and informed. Thank you!
Straight leg and bootcut are the best. Bootcut is my personal favorite, but I like (and wear) straight leg, too. I like wide leg, but must find the right one for me.
First time watching your videos, so enjoyed and agree with everything you said , we can look updated and still look good, but our age, I'm 71 and really enjoy any tips, thanks from South of England Great Britain
Awe thank you so much Marilyn!💕 I appreciate your comment so much!😊 It’s really just little tweaks that are key. I’m really glad you liked the video thank you so much for popping in!🍁🧡
My feet pretty much insist on moccasins. Love them since about 1972. At the moment, I wear a lot of denim, black or blues. With boots (or moccasins!) Thanks, though for the list.
My first video of yours. I'm in my 60's and a grandma but don't want to look like one. I always try to look modern and stylish. Hoping to see more videos like this one where you are teaching and not selling. Not a fan of influencers who are constantly doing hauls and encouraging mindless consumerism.
Thank you for tuning in Kimberly and for the feedback. 🧡My hauls are items I’M looking for and share, not random items I’d never consider, just to sell. 😊🌻But I am trying to include more lookbooks and tips videos. I love doing those, although they’re much more controversial, I’ve learned😉🙃
When I was young, I thought by now I would be wearing elastic waist stretch pants and sweatshirts with Peter Pan collars, cat heads on the front cat backsides on the reverse. What a hoot! :) I'll never be that "old".
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 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!
Yea I’m 62 and have gained weight I don’t feel that age BUT am going to start taking the stomach shot to loose the weight I know I’ve herd it’s not good for ya but I need to loose it as soon as I can BUT will PRAY before each shot. Your feelings on fashion is like I’m hearing what I feel about fashion Just found your channel this morning about Castor oil I’m a fan forever. Have a blessed day 🥰🙏🏻😇
🧡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
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!
What matters to me personally is my health and my heart and soul. It’s great if people are looking for advice about what to wear or not wear. But being in my mid 60’s, I just want to wear what’s comfortable to me and not worry about what others are thinking or saying.
So, if you feel that way, why are you watching these types of videos??
An intelligent woman is a
An intelligent is always curious.
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.
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!!❤
Knowing I look good is the most healthy and uplifting feeling! Looking classy is fun.
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.
Western culture does not respect the elderly. That’s why people hide their age
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.
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.
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.
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’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
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
Thank you for your views. I agree with some but not all. Im in my 60s and love capris.
You are so welcome 😊🌻
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 😊🌻
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
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 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.
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
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 😁
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.
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! 😊
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 😉🌻💕
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 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😊🌻
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.
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!🧡🌻
You are spot on about what looks frumpy. So truly helpful.
Glad you think so! Thank you🌻
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.)
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🤔🌸
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. 😊🌻
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!
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💕
Some great advice here! I'm 66, have gained some weight and was wearing clothes 1 to 2 sizes bigger in bulky styles to try to cover my tum and large chest, but it never works.
I was pleasantly surprized when I bought a top that was actually in my size and fit me. It made me look thinner. I make sure my blouse shoulder seams come just to my natural shoulder line rather than way further down. It really makes a difference getting slightly form fitting clothes.
I think you are awesome. Please do not feel offended by the naysayers in the comments.
I get the similar pushback when I discuss makeup on my channel, lol.
Some people just want to look like they gave up and get defensive about it. Thank you!❤
Thank you for this kind comment 🌸 I appreciate it 😊
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 ❤❤
Seriously. By the time you got done it’s like what can I wear. I have always LOVED big chunky jewelry has been a part of my style. I have a fabulous black mink pillbox. It’s vintage. I can wear it instead of aVeiling for Mass. I love the look of long skirts with a red and lots of jewelry. I love beads…excess boho look is me and I constantly get compliments. I am 71 and everyone who does not know is stunned. I’m told I look 55 to 60. Much of fashion, style is putting together a look that is uniquely you then head up shoulders back and a beaming smile. CONFIDENCE is everything.
You sound just perfect Jan! Just do you.🌻 this is for people looking for direction.😊
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!🧡🍁
Well done video, Liz! I peeked at a few comments, most of which are along the same theme as on other similarly themed channels. I am 64 and of the same mindset - I will wear what I like and what makes me feel good, whatever anyone thinks. Having said that - I also think most of us want to leave a good impression, especially with strangers. I have met many women who brag about not caring, to the point of looking like they made an effort to look like an unkempt slob Maybe there is a fine line between not caring about what others think and not caring about oneself. I grew up in a very rural part of the Northeast and we were far from "well-off". My mother did not have the latest styles or a closet full of beautiful clothes, but she was always neat and tidy, dressed as best she could and never left the house without lipstick. She was stunning.
Thank you!🌻 I enjoy heating others opinions and thoughts on fashion, it’s at least some good for thought!😉 Your mother sounds like she was classy 🌺 Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts.
Really nice thank you mam
Monochrome in black and navy blue with chunky jewellery . Works for me .
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💕😊
Great video! Dress for your body. Not all trends work for everyone.
💯 absolutely 💕 and thank you!!😊
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.
Good advice. I will definitely benefit from it,thanks 😊
Glad it was helpful!
I am at my 60s but petite. I wear according to my body. My body dictates what to wear. I can't wear oversize outfits simply because I am 60. I wear what suits the body structure . I wear skinny jeans and all the NOW TIME CLOTHES. I am forever young and I am PROUD. I dont look 60 , but 45. I thank God for my body structure.
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.
Great point about shoes. There are so many options for cute AND comfortable shoes!
I think a lot of us refer to pre internet days and think we need to take what is convenient and close, but with some research and patience there’s a lot of choices these days for sure!🌻😊
I’m 84 and I think you are a lovely young lady! I enjoyed your show and your wonderful comments! Not wearing black is something I am going to work on! I’ve been wearing black and white for some time! I’m going to switch to cream and charcoal! Thanks for your show!
You are so kind! I’m glad you liked it! 😊
I am 63, and I appreciate your tips! I could live for 30 more years, so why give up fashion now! Nothing crazy, just looking classy and avoiding the worst fashion mistakes!… Thank you for this video! 👏💕
Love that!💕😊
I had very few things and always bought high-quality so I'm all set for life by the time I graduated high school so I'm going to wear what I damn well please and that means all my high quality clothing that I had by the time I left High School😊
Awesome 😊
So true! We don't need to triple our age with the wrong clothing.
💯 totally what I think as well 🌻
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 🎂🎊 ❤️
Amen! I know that some of the items on your list seem obvious but thank you for the reminder. Sometimes we forget that aging gracefully does not mean being trendy.
Just turned 66 and go for classic styles, statement pieces, good quality, a few modern pieces added here and there. Big pet peeve of mine is hair! Get a style and cut that works with a changing, older face. Grey is fine. A little makeup too to brighten less colorful skin. Stand up straight and smile!
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. 😉
I need these pearls of wisdom.
Thank you 😊🧡
Right! I stay with the basics and the classic style which is timeless for young ladies and older ladies. For example the nice sweater you have on is timeless. Navy and white stripes.
I think so. Princess Diana rocked it in the 80s and it’s back with the old money style. Just pair it with a newer trend like wide pants.😊🌻😉
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! ❤
Ooooou!! I love the comments from the politely feisty women here! “Old Lady” who?
😉
Great observations! Maxi skirts can be very chic when paired with a heel of some sort. Flats make them look more matronly to me in addition to not balancing the top like you mentioned.
Thank you!😊 You’re right! It’s all about the right balance. 🍁🧡
I always wear maxi skirts with flats, but then I always wear flats, never been able to wear heels, even when young, and they always feel frumpy on me when I try to wear. I am 5ft 9in tall, and find that my shorter friends can wear them better than me. I go for slinky flat sling backs for instance or sexy sandals or even white trainers. If the other things you wear are not frumpy, for instance, a vee neck tee instead of shirt (which I find feels frumpy on me) I think flat shoes looks fine.
Love the sweater you're wearing too Liz 😍
Thank you!!🍁🤎
I’m 59 & I’ve never been one to follow fashion or trends. I pretty much have the same tastes as when I was a teenager. I have had lots of strangers, including young people compliment me on my style. Im an individual & I dress for myself. 🙂
Thanks for sharing!!😊
I love watching these to see if I'm on par or not. Passed the test. I'm good to go.😂
Awesome! 😊🌻
Very good advice 🙂
Thanks! 🙂💕
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.❤😊
GREAT JOB. RIGHT ABOUT NECKLACES AND EVEN CLOTHES
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
Thank you helping us to rethink some old habbits we may have.
You’re welcome ☺️ thank you for your kind comment.🌻
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'm noticing a lot of these videos and surely there are helpful tips. The truth is, we are dressing more casually and more for comfort.
Great video Liz really amazing information if you are worried about your neck when you wear a button down or v neck you can wear a twilly scarf the silk or satin type to hide your neck a little bit and the pleated pant the ones that usually cause the tummy issues the pleat starts to open up right from the waistband which then if you have a bit of a lower tummy can open up from the waistband making your tummy look bigger than it is either check before you buy them that the pleat stays together until it's at least halfway two thirds of the way between your waistband and your hip that way it doesn't open at the top of your tummy if you have pairs already that start at the waistband just fold that pleat sew along it so it opens up lower down and then you can wear those trousers and them be flattering too instead of get rid of them hope this helps someone 🥰
Thank you Donna!!💕😊 And a wonderful tip you offered!🌻
I’m loving the artwork behind you.
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🧡🍁
I really appreciate this. Of course we can all make our own decisions, but I do feel like I’m not out and about as much as I was when I was younger and I love getting input like this.
Thank you Kay 🌻😊
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!😎🧡
Love the cricket sweater. I live in an area of CA that doesn’t experience a lot of cool weather, but have been noticing this style worn more often over the past year. I like the fresh look of it personally. New Subscriber. Thank you for the great content!
Thanks for sharing!! And for subscribing 💕😊
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🤦🏾🤦🏾.
Nicely done. Classy and tasteful. TU
Thank you kindly!💕
GREAT ADVICE… I’m 77yrs young & enjoy dressing with Class‼️🌹
Nice! Can’t go wrong keeping it classy!💗😊 and Thank you!🌻
Oh my the biggest pet peeve is socks with sandals 😝
Some great advice
Lol! You are fun! 🎉 This has been great! New subscriber! We really do have to look at ourselves with love❤️ At 70 i decided i need turtlenecks back in my life-- yes jawline is sagging but the knit (not worn tightly!) is so fun to wear (styling hair right is also important). I don’t need a scarf for the cold as often -and the 🐢 helps hide other things the aging neck presents us with😂
Best fashion accessory is a big smile so keep those teeth healthy! 😊
Ahhh good points. 😊I used to absolutely love turtlenecks under 40, but recently I’m having some excess sugar skin sag🫣 so a bit earlier I think because of my poor diet and too much Sun🙃 I do like one, but not too tight and not too loose…. for me it highlights the issue, so just thought I’d share in case. I’ve kind of replaced them with scarves myself….. but I’m ALWAYS open to try again! I’m so glad you found me and welcome!!🌸 Thank you for the lovely comment!!🍁🧡
I really enjoyed your video. I was wondering if I do any of the things you suggest not to do, but I am relieved to find I don't. Thank you.
Thank you 🌻😊
Very interesting - just remember that fashions (and your taste) change over the years 😊 what makes you think that your advice is definitive for all times ❤
Absolutely 😉 these are my tips and perspectives I’ve found helpful up to this point…. Stay tuned as they may change 🙃 thank you for tuning in and providing your opinions at this time as well 🌻😊
I appreciate you care for older women. A lot of young people do not think of older ladies much. on right on it too. I agree with so much you are saying. My grandmother and her sister were so elegant even I everyday wear. They followed a lot of that. We all want to look our best no matter how old we are. At least I do. Thank you it took a lot of time to put this together. When I dress halfway decent, I feel better. I am sixty-five and when go I could wear whatever I wanted. Now I gained weight so often have trouble spots. Peace!
I love your advice. I've always avoided the Miami Beach cougar look: animal print head to toe, too much clanging jewelry, severe make-up, dark dark suntan. I prefer a softer look. I'm 70 and I follow the same rules as the ones you suggest. And I still get looks and comments on my style from younger people. Keep up the great advice!!
Soo good Lynn! You are doing it right!😎💕✨
I like your tips👍.
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
You are spot on. Great video
Thank you Cindi 💙🌻😊
Please give more visual examples of what to wear, not to wear, whether you're referring to shoes, necklines sweaters, etc.,
Thank you for these tips. Appreciate it 😊
You are so welcome!💕😊
Liz, you are KILLING it with your videos……I am glad to see you continuing to offer a lot of content in each video, they are chock full of information and I am always entertained and informed. Thank you!
I very much appreciate your kind words Deb, thank you! 💕😊
Straight leg and bootcut are the best. Bootcut is my personal favorite, but I like (and wear) straight leg, too. I like wide leg, but must find the right one for me.
Completely agree 🌻😊
First time watching your videos, so enjoyed and agree with everything you said , we can look updated and still look good, but our age, I'm 71 and really enjoy any tips, thanks from South of England Great Britain
Awe thank you so much Marilyn!💕 I appreciate your comment so much!😊 It’s really just little tweaks that are key. I’m really glad you liked the video thank you so much for popping in!🍁🧡
My feet pretty much insist on moccasins. Love them since about 1972. At the moment, I wear a lot of denim, black or blues. With boots (or moccasins!) Thanks, though for the list.
There’s cute ones and loafers too🌻😊
When I saw your comment, I thought of those suede, fringed Indian moccasins from the 70s. Is that what you meant?
My first video of yours. I'm in my 60's and a grandma but don't want to look like one. I always try to look modern and stylish. Hoping to see more videos like this one where you are teaching and not selling. Not a fan of influencers who are constantly doing hauls and encouraging mindless consumerism.
Thank you for tuning in Kimberly and for the feedback. 🧡My hauls are items I’M looking for and share, not random items I’d never consider, just to sell. 😊🌻But I am trying to include more lookbooks and tips videos. I love doing those, although they’re much more controversial, I’ve learned😉🙃
When I was young, I thought by now I would be wearing elastic waist stretch pants and sweatshirts with Peter Pan collars, cat heads on the front cat backsides on the reverse. What a hoot! :) I'll never be that "old".
Haha we all have certain images in our heads like this 😉 thank you for sharing!🌻
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 ✨🍁
Love the Coco Chanel style on neck wear.
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.🧡🌻
