Thank you for focusing on being “fresh” and not “younger.” Aging is a gift. But yes, I would like to dress stylishly.
I’m in my 60s,my friends died in their 40s all three of them. I am grateful to be able to age😊
Yes, fresh and modern. ☺
I mostly agree with your advice, except on the capri vs. wide-legged pants. I think the baggy, longer pants make some women look heavier. Plus, those black ones look a little warm for summer months, fabric notwithstanding. Capris are a nice option because they allow some women who can't wear shorts thanks to ugly varicose or spider veins and cellulite to have another summer option other than having their legs completely covered up all the time. Granted, some of those Alfred Dunner matchy sets with the butterfly applique tops can really age women, but capris do help some of us feel that we have some cooler options. Cropped pants can be nice, but some of the lighter capris are almost as good as shorts. They don't necessarily have to be unfashionable or tacky paired with the right shoe. Thanks for the information!
Agree. I’m tall and prefer capris. Love skorts but too short on me.
I find that cropped pants (which are now in style) to be just as cooling to wear as capris. I also wear wider leg crepe, drawstring pants and they don't make me look heavier. Especially with a cropped top that comes right to my waist. This style makes my legs look longer than they are! And I'm only 5' and it's surprising that this style does make me look taller!!
I don't wear shorts of skorts which I think are just weird. For dressing up I wear a dress without a pattern so I have the same look all the way down my short body! And I spice it up with one bright piece of jewelry - earrings, or necklace, or bracelet. Only one piece! 🙂 My husband who is very honest about my outfits says I always look very put together and classy. He's a conservative dresser himself, so I trust his opinion when I wear more flamboyant clothing.
I've found that if I don't wear what most of the women in the grocery store are wearing, I'm on the right track! LOL!
Yes to being current and fresh, but not "younger"!!
I won't give up my capris. I love them, and think they look good. I do not like Bermuda shorts. I wear what is comfortable
If capris are your jam, that’s fine. Just don’t convince yourself that they’re stylish.
I agree with you!
I agree with you. I have ugly knees so shorts are not a good option.
And in addition, I think wide leg pants make short women look shorter and fat!
Same here. I live in Georgia, where it's going to be 101° today. So yes to capris! I can't worry about stylish in this oppressive heat.
The most important advice is to wear what makes you feel good and confident.
I agree with you 100%
Yes but a tip is to have someone take a full body photo of you. I’ve had several outfits I thought I looked good in then I saw a photo of myself and never wore it again. I like to know how things really look. The mirror is deceiving.
You always see yourself different than what people see. It’s just advice, if you don’t want advice , or suggestions Maybe these videos are not for you. Wear what you want
Hi, I am 68 years old. I appreciate your videos but I know I must pick & choose what advice I will follow because we’re all different & it has to work for me. First of all, I stopped wearing capris since I saw one of your videos last year and that was an excellent idea for me. I have big calves and that was a horrible look and it made me look dowdy. Instead, I have been wearing lightweight leggings that are great in the summer and also jeggings. These give my legs a longer appearance and I thank you so much for that. However, I continue to wear flip-flops because they are so comfortable on me, and they look right on me. I wear Nike flip-flops all over because they have good support and look nice and I wear dressier flip flops for other occasions. I do wear dark eyeliner because my eyes are my best feature. I wear glasses, & people can’t see my eyes without it. I am also long waisted and I’ve been putting on some pounds, so there is a certain type of T-shirt/shirt that works best with my body type that you did not show. Lastly, an important part to my daily attire is my hair. One thing I do have is fabulous hair and that’s because I wear wigs Each day I change my hair color, style, and texture and have such fun. I was never blessed with beautiful hair but now in my later years, I can enjoy it daily and I highly recommend wigs to your viewers. It automatically takes 10 years off my appearance. Thanks for all your help but I think it’s important that we all decide which advice works best for our own bodies and our own lifestyles. 🥰
💯
Nobody is forcing you to wear something else. You don’t have to be stylish. Wear what makes you comfortable, even if it isn’t stylish.
Love that you enjoy wigs. I've thought about trying
@@danettejachalke5818 If you have any questions about how to get started with wigs, let me know. I started my wig journey 15 years ago all by myself. Since then I’ve discovered many wig sisters with invaluable information. I own over 80 wigs in all price ranges, styles, & colors, and I love transforming my look daily. It’s so much fun! 😊
Unfortunately many women over 50 do not have the legs for shorts or skorts. Capri length pants are a great option for many women who feel comfortable in them to hide veins and crepey skin.
Who says we have to hide some veins or crepey skin? People aren't scrutinizing your flaws, they're worried about their own!
I agree that Capri pants hide ugly veins and fat. I'd rather see a fat person's legs covered and not flapping about in shorts or skorts.
I am a Floridian, and flip flops are regular wear. Some of my flip flops cost more than those ugly Landsend thick band sandals (which make your foot look squatty).
The price of the flip flop doesn’t change how ugly it is. And to your point, almost any sandal that has a strap around the ankle makes your leg look stubby and your ankle look thick.
Also, I am a native Floridian and a registered nurse with an orthopedic and geriatric background. Flip flops aren’t safe footwear. I myself was nearly killed (no kidding) when a (very high quality) pair of flip flops twisted on my feet and I fell down a flight of stairs. It took me several weeks to recover. I’ve had many patients incur serious injuries because they were wearing flip flops. Slides aren’t really any better.
Well, I'm a retired Nurse Practitioner and have geriatric background as well. To me, I feel the safest in Flip flops. I've been in flip-flops and barefooted for ever. I'm 74 and never wear heeled flip-flops, which are unsafe. I feel grounded in flip-flops... just like being barefooted.
Nice looking flip flops... not those ugly slides( which were called flip flops).
I have such a problem with cropped pants. I guess it goes back to all my pants being “high waters” when I was growing up.
Thanks for watching!
That’s just kids being mean and goofy, if they were the ones making fun of your “high waters,” so forget about that, and wear those stylish ankle pants, as it doesn’t matter anymore as a grown woman😊
The same issue here
That's what I think about the cropped pants. They look like floods and I personally don't think they are that flattering.
Yep, I'm a Gen-Xer here...high waters were a big no-no in my day.
Thank you for your advice. Love them all I’ll keep my capris for around the house and gardening. I usually wear linen pants. Wore them on my trip to Rome and love them, was so comfortable and stylish
I agree with all these tips. The good thing about my being 5'3" is that pants I bought as capris are now in style as ankle length!
Me too - definitely saves on alteration fees!🎉
I'm in your club!
The wide leg linen pants make your legs look wider than the slim capris. Styles are fickle, next year they will be saying the opposite. The ankle wide capris make one look shorter. A person has to wear what they personally feet good in. I agree about the baggy tops.
Totally agree. I'm not a fan of wide leg baggy clothes, especially on petite women. It makes them look bigger
Wide leg pants..no. they widen your bottom half and Capri while yes they do take off height .
Linen pants NOT wide are thee answer
I disagree.
I shy away from linen pants/dresses because once you sit down they're a wrinkled mess and I can't stand that. 🤷♀️
I agree about wide leg capris. I tried them, bought them and took them back to the store. They made me look like a fireplug.
Hi Serena. I love your video. I’m 65 and trying to figure out how to get where you are going in my own personal life. I am disabled so I’m at home all the time. I would not be caught dead in Capri pants or shorts or dress because I have skin problems on the bottoms of my leg below the knee. It’s kind of a permanent thing-that I can’t do much about at the same time. I can’t imagine wearing linen flowy pants every single day all the time. I just don’t quite know where to go stylewise. I end up wearing sweatpants all the time. I live in a small small town so I have to do all of my shopping online. I’m going to keep trying to transform my summer look. Thank you for the video. It keeps me focused on a goal
PS I absolutely love your southern accent. I’m a southern girl myself, but I live in the upper Midwest now.
You really should try those linen blend pants from Old Navy! Girl, they are like wearing nothin'! They have them in wide leg and also just a straight leg. You'd probably like the straight if you're worried about them being too flowy. I have both styles...one is almost white and the other pair is like a flax color. Way cooler than warm-ups. Just thought I'd put my two cents in. Hope you take this advice in the attitude it was given...love for a fellow human being who needs to know it's okay to do a little something for yourself sometimes. 😊
@@maggiew3084I have those Old Navy linen pants, but I find after an hour or so of wearing them they somehow stretch out and look baggy, especially in my backside area, and the frump starts :(
Thanks for talking about bras. No one does and it totally breaks so many ladies outfits.
So tru
Never heard anything about bras
I am so lucky because my sweet granddaughter is an excellent nail tech. She gives me what is called a dry pedi and I love it.
My flipflops are vionics. Very comfy and nice looking
Weirdly i was amazed how you are even more gorgeous without makeup
That's because I have some magical natural light in my bathroom! 😂 I'm afraid I don't look that good all the time.
Thanks you for all your tips. I agree with you about the capri pants.
I agree with all your points, we tend to get lazy or need to throw out those old clothes and update our look!
Man I need to do that. I live in a very rural area. My clothes are just yucky and I rewear them in rotation out of habit cause I’m never going anywhere or seeing people, then when it comes time to go somewhere or see people I’m too lazy to get changed. 😂 The struggle is real.
I’ve waited 50 years for the high waisted wide hem jeans to come back. I loved them as a teen in the 70s, I love them even more now. Like you, they make my legs look long and overall they are so slimming. I weigh the same as I did back then, but it’s redistributed now. You’d never know it when I wear these pants. Hahaha.
I’m like you. My eyebrows are full, but practically invisible. Filling in my eyebrows is a frustrating effort, so I’ve started using eyebrow dye/tint. I do it every few weeks, and it looks fabulous. No need for any pencils or powder. Freedom!
Sorry, but those “cropped wide leg” pants are not flattering to most people, especially shorter people.
The ones I showed work for me because they aren't super wide. I like the way they look.
Hi Serena- Really enjoyed this summer video! Thanks for giving us options to stay cool while looking in style. Love the cute sandals! ❤
You look so pretty even without make up!❤🎉 Thanks for the tips! Lips ,eyebrows,mascara is great for summer! I work in a big department store downtown so l also wear a little shadow too! Have a good week!😊
I’m 4’10” and I quit wearing capris years ago because I never thought they looked good on me. Thanks for all the tips.
Wow! You were right about the system unsubscribing us. It happened to me but I’m back in business!
I was in Walmart today to get a prescription. I was surprised to see so many pairs of capris. I agree that are better options. ❤❤❤
Hey, Serena! I have never and will never wear capri pants. I don’t have the legs for shorts or skorts, but I am in no way offended by middle aged women, or women my age, who have the legs to show off and choose to do so.
I am having a ball wearing all of the cute, inexpensive clothes and shoes that I have purchased this year, thanks to influencers like you.
The last time I got a pedicure, I got a fungal infection that I didn’t discover until I took off the polish two weeks later. It was an upscale salon, so I’m hesitant to go anywhere. I need to take a chance again because I simply cannot do more than a so-so job myself.
Great tips, girl! I adopted the practice of using a brown eyeshadow as an eye liner a couple of years ago, using mascara only on the top lashes and using a gel-type semi-permanent eyebrow “mascara”. I would not be caught dead in public without some CC cream, and complete eye and brow makeup. Even when I was staying with my husband in the hospital 24/7 for weeks, I kept up the routine as my nod to self-care. My other life-saver was wearing an attractive wig every day.
That, in itself, made my life much easier AND boosted my morale.
If you get a nail fungus, dont bother with pharm drugs. I caught one at a pool with loose tile on pool steps. Only thing that cured it OVERNIGHT was a cup of vinegar dumped into a plastic foot soaker bin filled with a half gallon of warm water. I soaked both feet for 10-15 minutes...and it started to tingle and then it felt more rapid, then I will admit it stung...I rinsed under tub spout with warm water when it got to hurting stage, then towel dried feet. The fungus was completely gone by next day...and never came back! I had tried every over counter meds for 4 months!
68 and I have the legs for capris. Prefer them over shorts.
@@maryohare4141 no way!! Thanks for the tip!
Have been enjoying your videos! I'm 65, weight 165, bust 38, height 5 foot 6 inches. The CRZ yoga shorts and crop top are wonderful in large! No B.Spears midriff showing:) Thanks for the tip!
I do my own pedis
I’ve found when I put dark brown brow mascara on my lower lashes, I get no under the eye fall out or transfer. 👍🏼
Yes, I agree on all your tips, especially about the bras and capri pants. Love your channel! 😊🩷👍🏻🌷
I'm older than you. A young 63. One of my favs were the cigarette slacks. Slenderizing and stylish. Sometimes a pleat. I love pearl grey. 😊
I found a style several years back, at Old Navy. The Pixie style. They were so sleek and classy looking.
Outstanding content...I'm 61, a YOUNG 61 and value your suggestions.
I enjoyed all your recommendations. I am 67 and I like to dress as stylishly comfortable as I can, but I am short and overweight. Capri's definitely don't work for me, but thanks to you, I have finally embraced skorts if they are a little longer to cover my fat thighs. Thank you for giving me the confidence to try them.
I love a skort too! I don't have large thighs but I do have a big belly and a nice pull on skort is so comfortable. I am a dog walker/pet sitter and when I'm out with a doggie and wearing a skort...I don't have to worry that I'm flashing anyone when I bend over to pick up the poop! 😂
If you have a tummy, never ever wear front pleats!!! I love everything you featured here!!
Thankyou for the tips and products list.
My favorite elevated flip flops are by Okabashi. They have a heel and arch support and are made in Buford GA from recycled materials.
I recently had 2 knee replacements. I guess shorts are out. What are your thoughts?😊
@@sherylkirk796 I say nonsense. If it's hot & you like shorts, wear them! I live in a warm climate. People of all ages, sizes, shapes wear shorts. Including those with scars it's not a big deal.
Love your ideas and clothes. Especially Chicos.
I agree with everything. You are so classy! Your tips are so practical and well intentioned for anyone to step up their game when they leave the house and go out in public. To look fresh and current, we just have to put in the effort. I think everyone watching you appreciates all the effort you put into your videos. We are here for it. Thanks Serena❤
Hi Serena, I donated all my capris as you suggested awhile ago, I have been buying crop, or full length linen or gauze pants making sure there are pockets on the bootie part along with the front! , and checking that you can’t see through them , yikes !!!! Agree with all your suggestions ! Enjoyed this video immensely!! Hope the rest of your day is as Happy as mine was from watching you ! 😊🦋🌸🍃 Rosalie
I find the pockets on the bootie part make my bootie look wider and bigger than it actually is😂
Which Old Navy linen pants are you modeling? I didn’t see the link.
They are linked in the description under Look 1 where it says "Old Navy Linen Pants"
Serena, I really enjoy all the style tips that you have, I am 63, and we are very casual in Hawaii, but I love to see all the great options and fresh styles you have. I think your make up is beautiful, and love your hair style. Thank You so much!!! :) Janis
Thank you!
I'm so sad to see what looks like a consensus against capris. Yes, I can wear what I like, but don't want to look like I'm stuck in a bygone era. Capris are the perfect in-between when it's hot and I don't want to bare my legs in shorts or skorts. The difference in temperature between pants and capris is huge. Capris just strike that perfect balance sometimes. And I think they're flattering when styled well.
The wide leg pants make me look and feel chunky and sloppy -- especially the cropped ones, which I think look horrible on most. Sigh. Fashion is fickle.
You have some wonderful advice and I really appreciate the photos that show what you mean. Thanks so much!
I appreciate your content, Serena. I need to schedule a bra fitting at Nordstrom soon.
Hi Serena I am 4 10 and 81 help all of us mature ladies. Thank you really like your videos.
Amen to doing away with capris - how we let someone tell us these were okay I will never know. Like you, I'm short - 5'1" - and I wear ankle length crop pants - very comfortable and much more attractive. I do also wear white linen"y" pants too. Plus some flax colored linen pants - these are so much more polished for wearing. I do wear a comfy tshirt/shorts when weeding my small garden or going to get mail, but pull on a pair of ankle length pants when I run to grocery store, etc. Thanks for the great tips! I'm in Bama too - and it's WARM and humid here folks...
I dont see the problem. A pair of capri with ballet floats and oversized shirts probably looks fine.
For the love of God ladies, take care of disgusting crusty heels!!! YUKK!!!!
Lovely videoxxxthank you❤❤❤
You’re welcome 😊
Yes, Serena. I agree 100% with your tips. Thank you❤
Great job, agree with you 100% ❤❤❤✅✅👏👏👏
Serena, I too am 5'2" and have the wide leg linen pants from Old Navy that you featured in your videos .. I have the black and the olive... love them! so cool
Love this video! ❤
I use a wonderful waterproof eyebrow pencil from Nikol Johnson; not cheap but lasts a long time and stays on! She has a UA-cam podcast too!
I agree 100% with everything you said!!! 🎉🎉
Unfortunately I am in food service for 42 years and I have to wear my hair up in a pony tail or bun every day. And i get uo at 4am 5 days a week. No one wants to fuss with a hair style at that hour in the morning but I do have to put makeup on every day , that is a must for me. I am retiring next year and I can't wait to stop wearing my hair up all the time. I'm not sure how I'm going to style it but it won't be in a bun anymore.
I am a nursing assistant and I wear some kind of braid every shift.
Completely agree! I find myself wearing skirts all summer.
$198 for sandal\flip flop. Not do-able for most.
Love wide leg linen pants
I do too! I’m 5’3” and they seems to be very flattering on me
Hi Serena, thank you for a very helpful video!!!!!!!Please keep making more videos like this???????
I still have some nice capris which I love. One pair has covered buttons and the color is that soft beautiful peach which is this years color. I wear my flesh- pinkish sandals with them and I still think they’re terrific. I won’t be buying any more as they are an exiting fashion trend . Loved all your tips and agree! Retired and in my early 70’s, I wear my naturally blond hair long and put it in a messy bun for gardening and working around the house. Thanks for keeping us ‘stylish’!💕
You scarred me with that feet picture 😂
Scarred you or scared you?
Sensible, relevant, and so TRUE. Thank you for all 9 nuggets of beauty wisdom.
Great advice. On your brows, there is an Elf product that is called "Wow Brow" that I love. It has fibers in it to make them look thicker and real inexpensive. Walmart has it. I use taupe and then shape them up and good to go. Yes, hair thinning is common and very tearful for people. I count my lucky stars that hasn't been an issue with me yet but all good things may come to an end one day. ha! I don't have capris & never really liked them. Thanks again for keeping us current!
I've used that Wow brow before! It's a good one.
Thank you dear Serena 🌻 I enjoyed your styling tipps very much. I admit I did one or plenty things out of laziness, but everything you suggest looks much more pretty! Plus not complicated at all. Really very nice ideas. I am very happy, too to see your makeup, how you applied it, love to try this soon. You look so beautiful and natural! Looking forward to seeing you soon, your videos put me in a good mood always.
Not a fan of Capri. Definitely makes me look shorter than I am (5'2). Don't mind ankle pants. As always love your videos!
The best thing I’ve done is having my brows tattooed. They are perfect.
Nice!
How much did iT cost
Nothing you show fits me, a 2X woman who has lost 70 pounds. I would love to be your size but I’m not yet. I’ve also had foot surgery so Clark’s flips flops are the only thing I can wear. I certainly cannot wear slides. I like to feel good about my progress, so I need to stay away from videos by women your size.
Im sure you can find some channels that suit you.
Hi, Serena, This was a great video! 🩷⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Serena I couldn't agree with you more on all of this!! Especially the rubber flip flops or shoes. So cheap and frumpy looking!!!
Yes, out with capris. I’ve started calling shorts that stop at the knee “half pants.” They drive me nuts. 🥜 😂 I’m 5’2” and I don’t need any help looking short. For hot Mississippi Summers I wear 4-6” inseam shorts or cool white pants. Enjoyed the video. I wish everyone in my town would follow!
I agree with all of your tips! I was never a fan of capri pants, but have embraced the current wide-leg cropped style of jeans. I am also a fan of the Brigitte skort. I was in South FL for the Memorial Day weekend and was comfortable out and about in the skort. Thanks for helping me stay stylish!
That's awesome!
Tired of reviews knocking well fitting capris or crops and a little looser top. No for me on those loose wide pants and short tops. I am 74 and slim….but around the middle, some fashions are better.
Thanks for the view
Great tips and I get where you are coming from.
I am a large older woman. Have the cottage cheese looking legs. Not too good a look with thinner pants. Suggestions?especially with heat.
Hair is very thin on top. Wigs are hot. I was wearing messy buns, etc but got tired of that. The sprays, flakes, etc. begin to look like tiny beads when you sweat. I have started wearing wider headbands. Leaving the front and sides flat. Slightly teasing the back for some fluff if you will. Any suggestions there? Depending on where my thyroid is determins my size. Imay lose or gain 60 lbs in a couple months. Also, part of my hair loss. It is hard. Suggestions are welcome.
First video of yours I've seen. As a former dancer, I still have pretty good calves, so I'm keeping my capris, but I really do like those linen blend pants.
Love your focus on looking fesh and in the know versus younger. I have things in my closet that are 10 years or more older as we were in a tight financial situation and the kids needed clothes more than I did. Working to gradually add some new pieces to update a little.
Thank you Serena! I am so glad that I came across your channel. Your tips are very helpful and I am guilty of some of these “don’ts”. I agree with the mascara recommendation! I have tried several tubing mascaras and the L’Oréal one is my favorite. It performs better than the more expensive brands! And the capri pants - they look awful! Thank you Thank you!!
Sadly, I have to wear bottoms that cover my knees for my job as a preschool teacher, so capris are a must. I can't even wear flowy pants/long skirts without feeling like my legs are suffocating. I would wear Bermuda length if I was allowed, but that is a no go. Your Jane Fonda example is the same cut that my mil (72) has and that, combined with a color (sometimes blond, sometimes reddish) makes her look older than what she is. I am only 43, but have embraced my graying hair and get plenty of compliments on it. I wear what is comfortable, but also stylish and appropriate for the occasion. Thank you for these tips. I really need to get a tinted moisturizer.
I may have to g back in my closet to purge a little more!
I think you looked much prettier and younger with your brows natural.
Tops and skorts are my summer go-to for 10 years. I have all lengths, fabrics, colors, styles I need. I'm not a smalll woman, but with what of seen on much larger women than me has made me be able to say "Who cares what they think". It's not my job to know or care about the opinions of those who don't care about mine concerning them. Guess I'm just a late-blooming feminist because I will no longer be pushed & shoved into the straight jacket of society's expectations.
I got rid of capris years ago. They seem to make my ankles look thick.
I'll be trying shorts again this year. I don't have the greatest legs but that's what tanning lotion is for.
Thanks for all your awesome tips!
Wide leg crop pants take inches off your legs, even though you're wearing a column of colour.
I loathe capri's. The alternatives you presented are fantastic! I'm glad you didn't say younger when discussing appearance. Younger not necessarily better.
Love this video and I will be changing some things especially makeup
Iam one whoseb eybrows are gone from overplucking.
I'm 4'11" I wear capri's, mine hit in the middle of my calf, mine our very stetchy and light weight but not see thru , I'm slim and l feel so comfortable in them and confident , the styles and fashion change by the minute l just wear what what makes me feel confident, I did get skorts this year, but its hard to find the proper top with them because l am very short waisted and long legs, l have to do a half tuck in so its challenging to not have extra bulk and can't do a shorty t-shirt
Thanks for the style tips. I'm going to try all the makeup that you use. I especially am looking forward to trying the Dior and it lip balm. And also going to try not wearing any mascara on my bottom lashes.
Disagree on your hair styling. Depends on person not age.
I didn't say anything about age & hair. It was more about getting a hairstyle that suits your hair type and will be easy to style with the summer heat & humidity.
I have a few capris that I wear, during the week, great for when im wearing my bulky sneakers, thaT have orthotics in them, when the weekend comes, their off, cause I gotta look cute, some times❤
Wow. That was a mouthful, but worth listening. Thank you😊
Wanted to compliment you on how young you look even without makeup! 😊
Thank you!
I have to disagree about wide leg pants. At 5’ tall, they just don’t work for me.
Wide leg pants on short women make the women look wider in hips and legs, so look much heavier weight than they actually are. A better solution is a straight leg pant or boot leg.
Great tips, Serena! The Alabama summer heat + humidity=my hair’s nightmare 😩
I disagree on the wide leg cropped pants , they make you look shorter and some what dumpy at least for me , l'm slim and its hard to find the cigarette pant and those are perfect for me at 4'11"
I would wear shorts but 45 years of nursing varicose veins ect crop pants for me.
I don’t feel like wide leg on my short frame looks great because I don’t have a thin frame nor an hour glass shape, I have more boy hip shape…so if I try a wide leg ankle crop I look totally big from my shoulders down to the ankle and that not a good defining look on my short body at least to me…a longer pair of pants doesn’t seem cool to me at all, so I won’t go longer either…I think it takes a certain body type to wear them and look good and event…
Punctuation is your friend!
I have to disagree on the mascara free lower lashes!! I always notice it on people ,and think they left in a hurry….either both lashes or none in my book
I don't know. I think you look really modest yet youthful in the oversized, yet well cut, t shirt and leggings and flip flops. I understand just throwing on an oversized t and leggings can look dated. But I think it depends on the cut of the t shirt.
It looks like you've given up. I would absolutely wear this hanging out at home, but nowhere else.
