Hi ladies and Happy Easter! I hope you're having a lovely day. What do YOU never spend your money on?! Lots of love to you all. Deirdre. XX
High heels!!
Animal prints!
Happy Easter! I do my own nails. I disagree with you about lipstick; there are several 'drugstore' brands that are good quality and come in a plethora of shades. Selecting a good color is key; there are only so many finishes; the cheapest-looking to my eye is that gloppy, gloopy, greasy, too-shiny gloss that screams Real Housewives franchise. Cosmetics have a fantastic markup; what people who chase so-called high-end brand names are doing is buying a feeling or sense of being better than others. I think a real sense of self comes from inside.
I never spend money on hair coloring in the salon. I have been coloring my hair myself at home. I have saved a LOT of money over the past 30 years and I receive compliments on how nice my hair looks.
Hi dedrie love your video I am only 5 ft in height I only wear heels when going out I am more comfortable in a bit flatter shoe luv watching as always ❤❤❤😅
there's nothing wrong with buying a makeup "dupe" nobody is looking at my lipstick brand to make sure it's "high end"
Totally agree. Makeup or perfume that is a dupe doesn't bring down your style.
It depends on your skin how a product reveals itself, not the brand or price… I have a total mix of range and no one is interested in the brand, but complements me on the color fit… to my skin AND outfit. That’s style
In addition to the long fingernails, I also struggle with the over the top long fake eyelashes. It detracts from the whole face.
I agree. I sometimes see women with the full set, fake lashes, fake HEAVY tan, over-highlighted hair, brown toned lipstick, & I think, I wonder what she ACTUALLY looks like?
I agree. Too much lip filler, too much makeup, hair dyed too blonde .... None of those things talk classy
Long fake nails and bushy fake eyelashes and lips that are too plumped up all look cheap! Natural defiantly defines class.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks acrylic nails look cheap, older ladies with pink, purple etc hair , fake eyelashes and caterpillar brows, not nice at all 🤭
Please don’t tell us what we shouldn’t wear. Some people can make a dustbin bag look stylish and wonderful. Others with the most beautiful clothing still look terrible. We should wear what we want and feel good in. I had my work clothes that boosted my confidence. It was also like wearing body armour.
I have received compliments when wearing something I didn’t like that much. But to be told you shouldn’t wear it after a certain age what!
At 72 maybe l should dress in a shroud at least I’m ready.
Absolutely 💯 ! Classy & fashionable women are never garnish or overly trendy. I loved all your tips!
😂😂. When speaking of garishly long fingernails and showing pictures of birds claws I was cracking up😂😂.
Yes. Very funny claws. But I wonder how effective personal hygiene is with those talons ? How does one prepare food? I think regular bacteria cultures should be taken under those long nails. 🙄🦅
@@betagirlearth I do (too)! LoL!
Thank you.
He is Risen! Happy resurrection Sunday.
❤ He is indeed
Amen
I have had my nails done since I WAS 22 I AM 72 AND USE VERY LIGHT COLORS,THEY LOOK CLEAN AND WELL KEEP,I WOULD NEVER GET RID OF THEM.
Hi Deidre, i agree on the nail topic, for me shorter nails look more classy and neat
Definitely! I like them short, well-manicured, polish-free and beautifully clean! Those really long, painted and pointed nails gross me out, they are always filthy underneath, the wearer can’t see it🙂
@@kimberlyperrotis8962 no they are not filthy!
Those big sales like the Nordstrom Anniversary one have mostly inferior merchandise made specifically for the sale. Instead of discounting quality items like silk, cashmere and leather, for example, there will be lots of “designer-like looks” in polyester, acrylic and polyurethane. I rarely look at those sales anymore, there isn’t much to my liking. A lot of my decluttered items came from such sales in the past, often because of a comfort problem with the inferior fabrics and materials.
So true!
I notice many designer items are now polyester. :((
I love how you emphasize that one should wear what they feel confident in.
I’m a bit bohemian at heart and a few of these were hard to swallow. 😂 I’m always fighting to lean into a more conservative look. I was a Flight Attendant and I know how to tone things down and dress in a daily uniform, but it doesn’t come natural to my Gypsy spirit. ❤
Don’t do it. Bohemian is much more interesting.
I've moved from vintage dressing to conservative to boho. I'll wear what I love and that makes me feel good. I had an overseas artist tell me she loves my style. That was confirmation that I need to keep being me. You do you girlfriend!
This was fun. Long nails with designs and embellishments just scream "cheap" to me. It would work well, however, with the new "Mob Wife" look that's trending now. Not my vibe though. I do have, however, a vintage LV duffle bag that belonged to my grandmother. I use it for weekend trips by car only though.
I know! @@laura24590
Yes, I personally agree about the lipstick. If you choose wisely, quality lipstick will look better and last longer without having to keep reapplying.
I am almost 59, and I shop at thrift stores. I am super aware of my proportions and know what works. I adore dupes. I am glad that I "stumbled " upon your channel. Love from Marquette MI ❤ Short lady, short hair, short nails. 😅
❤️Chanel lipstick. There is something so magical about this lipstick, the colors, just everything.
I completely agree with you re makeup, and definitely agree about the yucky acrylic nails 🌼
I agree that nothing looks worse on hands over 60 than long fingernails, painted or unpainted. Short and painted red looks more tasteful and stylish. Queen Elizabeth's Ballet Slippers by Essie was a perfect color.
Yes, Ballet Slippers was classy and subtle.XX
Helen Mirren wears that one, too.
I have long nails. i am 70 . They look good and everyone says they look good.
@@gillmiller3702
I have really strong nails and I wear them fairly long. I love gardening, so polish doesn’t work well except for special occasions. At least a couple of times a week, someone tells me they wish they could grow their nails like mine.
I know anything that hurts - don’t buy or wear! Wise words! Thank you for the reminder!
I never wear or wore uncomfortable items, because my lifetime is too precious for that. And I agree with everything, dear Deirdre. Happy Easter, dear.
I agree with #2 "Anything you will only wear once". We had 2 son's get married within a short time and I had to buy 2 gowns and everything that goes along with them. What a waste as I will never wear either of them again. Also, the shoes weren't very comfortable so I donated those immediately afterwards.
Deirdre you’ve put together a very useful list. I’ve learned the hard way lol!! The only sale i attack now is M&S and get those super soft crew necks, as many colours as I can. They are fab, so easy to wear. But they don’t last for years. They pill and only last a season of washing before they look pretty poorly. But at £17.50 I’m willing to replace regularly.
Your description of a stylish woman is an exact depiction of my mother. Now 97, demented and bedridden, she still compliments my clothes during her lucid moments. We had soooo much fun over the years, clothes shopping in London. I miss those days.
I do have acrylic nails. I get an almond shape and get lots of compliments. Normally a shade of pink. I don’t get red as it does not suit my older hands (66). My natural nails just don’t grow and are very brittle.
Me too
@@gillmiller3702 thats the purpose they are best used for. I'm glad they work for you
I had impossible nails too but I started taking collagen supplements every day and now they grow well. I'm going on 78 but I allergic to acrylic anything so I can't even polish them.
Deirdre - I totally agree - and btw - I absolutely adore your sense of humor - you cracked me up several times during this video. Thanks for great tips and a good laugh 😄😄🤭👍👍
You are right about the lipstick. I won't wear cheap listick.
I agree, spend money lipstick 💄 ❤
I will alter my clothes to get the look I want. And occasionally sew an item to be worn only for a season
Girl , your eye makeup is the bomb. I love it
I absolutely agree with spending money on expensive (to some), makeup. I have used Elizabeth Arden, Lancôme, and some Clinique products since 29 years old. My skin is still radiant, is always clear, and as healthy as I can take care of. 💕
I totally agree ...
Happy Easter Deirdre
Thank u Deidre happy easter
I totally agree on these points you’ve made. I don’t like the long gaudy acrylic nails and I love the neutral French nails you were wearing. I’m an artist so I use my hands a lot so I like practical nails. I make hand made jewelry, so I believe in balance with that also. I believe more expensive lipstick is better it’s less likely to fade and for us older ladies it’s less like to bleed as well. Very much enjoyed listening to this episode. ❤
Loved every one of your tips!! Nice job!
Exactly how I feel too. Bravo Diedre
Happy Easter! Enjoyed the video!❤
Luv your comments I bought a lovely dress for my sons wedding and it is good because I can wear it again at a special event luv watching ❤❤❤❤❤ 😊
Thanks for always giving us wonderful advice !!🥰
I totally agree with each item mentioned. Thank you for the great work!❤
Happy Easter! He is RISEN!
Loved this video and I totally agree!
Happy Resurrection Sunday ❤
@@karenc1733 and to you the same! He is RISEN!!! 🙏🏻✝️
Amen
Really good video Deirdre, lots of good advice
P.s totally agree about the lipstick 💄 🌸
I agree 💯 percent!
Hi Deirdre!❤ I love your Channel and your content is great, thank you!
Great tips! Thank you ❤
I love your floral arrangements.
Happy Easter! Thank you for your perspective on style for our age group and the fun way you give it.
Some great advice as always xx
Happy Easter to you and your family. Thanks for the video Deirdre ❤
I would add no patterns, stripes. I like a softer look, without distractions. Prefer to accessorize with nice jewelry.
As far as cosmetics go, it is more important to find tones that look good on your skin and wears well than it is to use an "expensive" brand. I have high end and drugstore and sometimes the drugstore looks better than the expensive.
You are delightful! Thank you for your wonderful tips.
Great reminders and suggestions! Why buy when you can rent an expensive dress and avoid buyer's remorse for the next 10 yrs.
Thank you Deirdre ❤ you are right about everything😅
I’m picky about what I buy, it must be well made, it must be good quality fibres, and it must be able to last a long time because of simpler lines or details. 95% of my closet is secondhand, anything retail must be special. We can sometimes find those better quality pieces at fast fashion retailers, I found a pair of metallic denim at Zara in January, they were on my wish list and will be worn for a very long time.
I shop with a wish/want/need list to keep myself focused.
No sale or bargain piece that you never wear or wear once is worth purchasing; it’s a waste of funds, your precious closet space, and not sustainable. Better to wait find the right piece that you love, fits your style aesthetic, and can be worn over and over.
Happy Easter Deirdre lots of love beautiful 😍 xxx ❤
I agree with what you said,,
Lots of great information. I really agree about the nails
Absolutely spot on . Thank you ❤
A very good video, thank you! Lots of good tips to follow.
Thanks for the lipstick recommendation ..... 😘
I bought a expensive lipstick and it is nice but Revlon was just as good..,
Same here. I have also bought expensive lipsticks, Dior, Mac, Chanel, Clinique, Rubinstein, Arden, Lancome, you name it....... for me it's not worth the money. Same with very expensive cosmetic, and I tried nearly all in the course of my life. I personally love Revlon and L'oreal lipsticks, great colours, good texture and great price.
Expensive cosmetic is so expensive because of the marketing. Test reports are showing often bad ingredients and in particular most of the face creams and serums are totally over-perfumed.
But everyone has to make it's own choice.....so you have to ask yourself, whether it's really worth your hard earned money.
Same with mascara. Many professional makeup artists use Great Lash by Mabeline. I use this and it's inexpensive but looks good.
Totally agree about cheap lipstick, and everything else you mentioned as well.
Happy birthday from New Jersey, USA
You are 100% spot on some people just cannot grasp the concept of less is more, I love your videos
Love what you suggest. Really understated and stylish.
Happy Easter Deirdre, I completely agree with everything you have said in this video, particularly the horrible acrylic nails. Also I have made mistakes by wearing shoes which have been too high/uncomfortable and having blisters which wasn’t very pleasant.
I LIKE QUALITY OVER QUANTITY TOO!!!!
GREAT TIPS, AND PETS TO CHANEL!!!!
MANY THANKS!!!!
Thank you so much Deirdre. I will be going lipstick shopping. I would love to know what brands of make up and skincare you use..... Love from Australia ❤❤❤❤
Happy Easter everyone!
And thank you for this great video, Deirdre...!
Happy Easter to you too! XX
@@50FabulouswithMyFriendDeirdre thanks!
AGREE with all! Having same type of weather here in the mid-west U. S. Hope you Easter was a happy one🎉. Oops one other thing is wearing way too much perfume 😢
I agree with your comment about expensive lipsticks and cheap ones.
Happy Easter, Lovely lady, great video, you gave the the push to splurge on the Chanel velvet nuit lipsticks" that just came out, they look so lucious, I do spend $$ on good eye cream & face moisturizers, not tons of $$, but not drug store brand either.
I have a short neutral or french manicure or red during Christmas. No fashion colors or talons with designs . Thats fine for young people.
I agree 👍 💯
Great video. Thank u
I just bought the silk blouse you’re wearing from Lilysilk. I hope I love it on me the way I love it on you!
Yes, we've been having that wind and storms
Thank you for inspiring me to dress stylish
Happy Easter everyone! He is RISEN!
XX
AMEN!!!❤❤❤❤❤
He is risen indeed!!
Indeed he has Risen. Amen 🙏
Amen. Just as he said. Blessings to you all at this wonderful time
I agree with the lipstick
I always wear light nude or French on my nails. I don't know how some women do anything with those long nails. I have a shirt just like the one you have on. It is the best wearing shirt and feels so good. It washes up so well. Thank you for another video full of tips.
This is so true! If some take offence then maybe those are the ones that need to take your advice instead 😊
You're a sartorial sage Deirdre. Thank you.
Great tips
This video was dynamite! I especially loved the topic of high end lip color. My clothing is neutral, so I love to play with color on my lips. My favorite brand is YSL. It’s so creamy and has gorgeous colors. I also use a liner and a gloss. Love a pretty lip color packaged elegantly. 🎉❤
Happy Easter Deirdre! Over the years I've bought a few items that I wore once - the most recent being a dress I bought for my sons wedding. I'm sure I could have found something that I could have reworn. Definitely agree with you about the acrylic nails!! Have a super week!! xx
Well if there is ever an excuse to buy a special dress, it would be for a beloved child's wedding.
Hi Deirdre, I tend to splurge on really good lipstick like Channel, it is totally worth it. Thanks for a great video.
I love your videos! Sorry, yes the storm was here in the US a few days ago. Take good care.
Thank you! You too! XX
Good video!!
Brilliant excellent Top Tips ❤
Glad you like them! XX
Thanks, enjoy your videos! I buy expensive lipsticks as a treat to myself, my favorite are Mac along with their lipliners. Keep posting! :)
Thanks for sharing!! XX
I live in New York and just recently had several days of wet and windy conditions 🇺🇸 🗽 You might just be right! 😉
I buy some things on sale like white wide leg denim jeans and handbags like coach or tory burch 😊
Happy Easter!! I love your videos🤗 My go to for lipstick, that I've done for years, is a base of Revlon ColorStay matte in Tread Lightly, a lip liner and then L'Oreal Colour Riche. That combination makes the top lip colour last for a very long time and there is no bleeding. I've tired other brands, but I always go back to L'Oreal. Their selection of colour is endless and the lipstick is creamy! I also add a nice creamy gloss on top when the mood hits!
So true. My Chanel and Clarins lipsticks are hardly used, same with my Chanel foundation. I love the l'Oreal lipsticks and foundations much more. I'm absolutely sure, no one will notice a difference. The expensive ones are not worth the money. There is nothing magical about them, maybe the tube they are in, only the price and marketing is magical......in my opinion.
@@ulrikealtmann4655 L'Oreal is the umbrella for so many "high end" brands such as Mugler, YSL, Armani , Vichy etc. Before I splurge on skin care and makeup, I find out which company is at the top. Why spend top dollar when the drug store brand is made in the same factory using different packaging!!I am also a fan of L'Oreal skincare.
Loved seeing some of your environment, the trees are so beautiful! Everything you have said here is spot on. I love the artistic side of nail art, to look at for creative but no one should wear them. Long nails have been out for a long time, some just don't want to let go. England has amazing, well tailored clothes. Try shopping in the US! Even designer clothing is polyester. I went to Brahmin hand bags because not a lot of people know about them and they are classic or high color and there is something for everyone.
I’ve been watching your videos and love the clothes and jewellery you wear but I’m 71 and I live on £172 a week so have to wear more inexpensive clothes and jewellery. I’ve recently bought quite a few clothes from M&S but can’t find a nice blue and white striped shirt or white jeans/trousers that I like and which fit nicely. I did however buy a Karen Millen necklace that you wear and that was reasonably priced. 😊
I buy most of my expensive clothes off season, and at least 50 percent off regular price. This way I can buy quality, classic key pieces of clothing that lasts for years. You really don’t need a lot of pieces to look fantastic. 🌹
Try charity shops... they have changed so much. Vrand new shoes are always in there and new clothes with tags. Its a throw away society. Plus all those ' worn once special occasion ' pieces. Happy shopping.
@@annmcevoy5686 I give to those shops all the time 🤗
@@annmcevoy5686 Thank you. I do look in my local charity shops but have never found anything really nice, the best I ever found was a jacket which was an Autograph. I will keep looking. It’s very true about people giving their clothes which have only been worn once, many years ago I gave the outfit I wore to my son’s wedding.
How funny! I've just started to follow your channel and I was thinking about investing more on my lipstick, because I notice on my friends when they use high quality products. I wanted to go there and... Well, you are the confirmation I needed. I've been loving your content. Greetings from Belgium
I am on a fixed income and only wear lipstick when I go out but I have a light but totally Mediterranean complexion so to get something close to my natural color without going too dark just doesn't exist in the cheaper brands. I am going to have to invest in one of the better brands that caters to my skin color. I'm the exact opposite of Dierdre so the color that looks so great on her would be horrible on me.
Regarding lipstick shades, I'm not sure whether mine look "expensive" or not, given that I always layer at least two, to give myself a custom shade that suits me or what I'm wearing. I do this with both cheaper and more expensive lip products, so I'd be curious to know if anyone could tell how much I spent on my lip "look"! 😅 Happy Easter, Deirdre! ❤
Thank you. I get a lot of criticism for spending more on the more expensive pieces that you mentioned. It's quite hurtful, but I will never let my standards drop. To me, it's a matter of style, good taste and always feeling and looking fab. ❤ I have been following your wise words for a while now, and I always find your input informative and wize.
Lots of love to you. XX
I go to a huge number of "black tie" ..... And no, women don't wear the dresses on a second occasion. However, some rent or have the item tweeted by a tailor. I have sometimes bought in a pale colour and then had it dyed black or navy. I also have an elegant black silk skirt and have the tailor make different tops which totally rings the changes. And when it has done its service, I always try and get shortened for a cocktail dress. When the time has come to pass it on, I donate to a particular charity who have a number of ladies who enjoy cruising and need evening dresses.
All wonderful tips. Lipstick, I stick to three of Chanel colors thats it. So so true re acrylic nails....yuck. Again, thank you Deirdre & hope you & your family had a great Easter. Loved your Lily blouse.
Good video. I tend to save my "better/more expensive lipstick" for my Friday and Saturday evenings out. But I'll wear my inexpensive lipstick when running errands like to Dollar Tree. lol.
Good idea! XX
