HI lovely friends. If you're anything like me, you will have made at least some of these mistakes in the past!! Please share with us your experiences!! Looking forward to hearing from you. Lots of love. Deirdre. XX
Why dont you join Vinted and put all the clothes you dont want on there .I am sure a lot of us would be interested x
I totally agree with you about buying more than one item Of the same thing.
This year, I bought Chanel style lady jackets because because I thought they may be Going Out of fashion next year..
I am guilty on all counts. I have a bizillion white button down shirts
Is there much support in the bra Deirdre x
I actually think every points you made were spot on ! Look forward to your next post :)
OMG, I’m guilty of buying too many of the same thing..once I love something I am so drawn to buying it over and over. Recently, however, I have been very conscious of this and decided that instead of buying 5 or six of the same thing I will simply buy one of a “better quality”. So far this has worked for me…❤Liz❤
I’ll be 80 in August and am extremely cold natured so I wear socks all winter- some solid but many patterned. I’m at the point I can wear what I like!
Go for it and Happy 80th Birthday for August! Lots of love. XX
I wear socks to bed
Honestly I didn't notice the blemish until you pointed it out
Huge difference between the black trousers/blue shirt and the white trousers/blue shirt, I can now see the white works much better and is beautiful
The green silk pants with the white tank and green scarf is beeeauuutiful!!
Diedre,thank you. I am a physician in the States who has a subspecialty in breast care and mammography. The bane of my existence is breast pain. Many times it is cause by ill fitting bras. This has recently been publicized by ob,/gyn articles. I cannot tell you the number of times I have directed patients to go get a bra fitting. Should be done anytime there's a gain or loss of around 8kg, or 20 pounds. Not only will one feel better, but it will help you look better, and more youthful. I love your channel and tips. Nothing worse for a patient to have a frumpy looking doctor. Again, many thanks.
Thank you so much for this valuable comment, Mary. Xx
I just cannot remember you EVER offending anyone Deirdre! You always have great ideas, and points to make. You also say to "wear what makes you feel great" and that is true. I've been dealing with the 'bra' issue this week. I think that over time they shrink in the dryer. I should just line dry them.
I think you look better in a t shirt than in this shirt with a collar as it makes your neck look too short ! You look better when you wear a tighter fitting top !
...Yes, line dry your Undergarments... they will not shrink.stretch, etc. :)
I was just reading that you should use the “loosest” clasp on your bra back closure. As the elastic wears out , you then use the next tightest clasp.
I am definitely a serial buyer of the same things. I counted 15 striped tops in my wardrobe when I cleared out and no one needs 15 striped tops 🤣
I do ! I totally need 15 striped tops with a Kibbe FN, with an inverted triangle figure. I love Bretons of all stripes and colors. (Official brand Breton, not J crew cropped tops)
Me too 👍👍😊
Same with me and jeans but I yo-yo diet all the time 😔
My neighbor wears striped tops 90% of the time.
I do it with 3/4-sleeve T-shirts. I have a drawer full of them, in every color of the rainbow!
You are on point, brava! You aren't trying to hurt anyone's feelings, you are being honest. Why be offended by the truth? Thank you for educating in a kind manner.

Yes indeed very well said, i love her! 👍 thanks 😊
And-- never forget - all they need is to 1. Turn off their screen/device
2. Do not be rude.
3. Don’t like it??
Ppl are responsible for their own choices AND actions.
Don’t look!
Your armfuls of cream blazers gave me a good chuckle! Im guilty of this but with purple blouses - its my favourite colour and every time I see a pretty purple top I have to have it - its getting a bit repetitive and ridiculous so thankyou Dierdre for bringing this one up! 😊
A purple lover as well. Don't care for button-up shirts, but "collect" knit tops, sweaters and jackets. I will probably never run out!
You are spot on about the undergarments. I didn’t realize how my truly comfy bra did not provide much support until a friend sent a pic she had taken of me. Yikes!
It can be a shock, can't it?! XX
I'm retiring in 3 years and I realise I'll have no everyday clothes. Atm I just have clothes i can dress down on the weekends. My new mission is to not buy anymore business items but more quality everyday items that can be dressed up or down. Found your video informative. Thanks
I just bought 4 pairs of linen trousers. Imagine my surprise when I found about 8 pair more in my wardrobe from last summer 😂. Stop the madness…I have enough! I will be taking some to the resale shop!
I’ve done the same!
I don't get Linen. They are always wrinkled, out of shape, floppy, shapeless and a pain in the butt. Same for shirts or pants. I went nuts ironing the shirts. Finally, I wised up and said no more. They all went in the donate bag. Yet they are still promoted as being fabulous. On who???
I’m with you. I can iron a white linen top but the moment I put it on it turns into a wrinkled mess. Linen trousers always have those crotch wrinkles. I only have 2 linen pieces and I’m wondering if I’ll ever wear them again. The ironing seems a waste of time.
Hi Deirdre thank you for a very informative video. Today I wore a navy jumpsuit and paired it with pale pink slip on shoes and a pale pink denim jacket. I think it looked great and I guess paler colours go better with navy rather than black. To be honest, I am fed up with wearing jeans all the time and long for the weather to improve to bring out my dresses and skirts for every day wear. Thanks again for your tips, Maralyn xx
More good ideas Deirdre. Some mistakes I’ve made too. When you like fashion, no matter what your age, we still make mistakes when trying something new…otherwise we get in a rut and just wear tried and tested outfits. I personally like to inject modern pieces in my wardrobe and even at 71 sometimes they don’t work, but I’m always learning and always willing to try. Thanks again for another great video. 🌸
Xxx
I always love your humor. Included with great advice. Thanks!
XXX
Now that was a HAT ! Heavenly!
!!!!
You are wonderful! That yellow dress on you, walking down that elegant staircase is sensational. Your directness along with your sense of humor is quite charming. Thank you.
Thank you so much! XX
I tend to find something that actually fits, and then I get it in multiple colors.
I can't imagine many people ever being offended by your opinions. I'm thinking that if women tune in to your channel, they have an open mind and are willing to pick up tips from a very stylish lady. Isn't that why we click on, to see all your videos, ladies?
What a fabulous conversation you had with all of us! Thank you. It’s a conversation I’m having with my own daughters. ❤You could never offend anyone with the kindness you always show. 😊
Thank you so much xx
The underwear point is so key but also one of the hardest things (for some of us) to change! I think it’s the mental leap of accepting that even though one can squeeze into the smallest size, this doesn’t mean it’s our appropriate size or is flattering.
No kidding!
Absolutely xx
The flowers in the background are gorgeous
Great advice! Clothing should skim or flow on your body, not too tight, not too baggy. Also, go out of your comfort zone with clothing every now and again. I got a lovely girl to help me in a shop I visited recently for a formal outfit. It was definitely not in my comfort zone style wise but i ended up getting the perfect outfit that wowed everyone. Went back for the shoes they loaned me for the fittings as they give an instant boost to almost everything in my wardrobe 😂
I love all your suggestions, especially the undergarments, the black shoes, the socks, the length of pants, the tonal cohesiveness...all of the them. Thanks for your humility too. It's refreshing.
I watch your videos because of the info you give on styles and what goes together and what doesn’t. I value that. Like this video I have made lots of mistakes which you mentioned today. I feel lucky that I have found you. You never offend, you say it as it is ❤❤Thank you.
Interesting thoughts about tonal dressing. I watched a you tuber who suggested that it all depends on your colouring. So a dark haired lady can suit a contrast. But my colouring is more like yours so I prefer, and I think I suit, similar tones.
Buying the same clothes over and over again😂 that 's what I must stop doing. Thanks .
Wait a minute. We're supposed to buy what makes us comfortable, colors we love, affordable, so why not buy the same things in different colors and maybe lengths.
@@roxannegordon6162 well, a point worth considering🙂
If I FINALLY find a jacket/blazer/sweater that fits and flatters, I'm buying one of every color. I had a problem with bras riding UP every time I raised my arms. Someone said my bra was too small. What? I am NOT endowed with.....well....but what the heck. I bought a cup size UP and there I go. No riding up. Who knew!!!
Completely agree with your points!❤
The video was excellent. I can see your teaching skills popping up through the content. Never worry about being offensive you're too sweet to ever come across that way! ❤
That's so kind of you, thank you. And yes, once a teacher/trainer, always a teacher/trainer!! XX
Im 5ft 7. I bought a pair of stretch trousers that were a bit too short. I tried dropping the hem but what a mistake. They fit ok to start but as i walked they got shorter in the leg. I ended up looking like I'd just walked of a Star Trek set. So they ended up in the bin. 😂. I will never make that mistake again but I'm sure I will make plenty more 😂
Your soo right about the tones contrast
Absolutely agree with all of your “mistakes “.
100% agree with all your points despite the fact I am most definitely guilty of the underwear one. Thank you for steering us in the right direction.
Totally agree with you, everything you've said is right.
Love your comments and examples!
Love the daily clothes awareness nudge. Thank you.
You are right lady, thank you for your interesting advice related our clothes.❤
Spot on. Always learn something and reaffirms what I do
Thank you again Deidre for all your great tips. I have definitely made some of those mistakes.
Thank you Dierdre for bringing up the point of buying the same things! It's so me! Decluttering recently I had to donate 17 skirts which looked exactly the same)))
Tks for sharing ... always enjoy your easy, candid and fun-filled videos, Deirdre!❤
You are so welcome! XX
You’re really sane and analytical, I love it!!
That’s a really lovely comment, thank you xx
Loved your video especially about the undergarments. I'm always careful to wear the right bra with the right outfit because not all bras go with the outfit you've chosen. It also makes a bug difference on how the outfit looks on you. Same with underwear too. As we get older we gave to be more careful because our bodies are not what they used to be.
Thanks for your delightful videos ❤
I'm so pleased you liked it. XX
Thank you Deirdre. Cheers
Great, I agree with all of your points 👍🏾
Your suggestions are brilliant for keeping us all together and in fashion Thank you
Love the variety of subjects you present....thank you!
At one time or another I have been guilty of all of these mistakes. Lessons learned. lol. Trying hard not to continue repeating them. Thank you.
I did enjoy your pointers
.And I will try to remember them.
Great video once again, Deirdre! I can't get over all the cream blazers you have!! You're the best!! Have a great week!! xx
I love your everyday outfits!
You are perfectly right...👍
This video was excellent. Thank you so much, Deirdre!
Loved your ideas. Subtle but make a huge difference.
Thanks. Agree.
Excellent advice! Thank you ❤
I discovered your videos a short time ago, and I absolutely love them. Love your styling and tips. I particularly liked all the issues you pointed out in this video. I’ve done a few, like pair light summery colors with black, or wear darker shoes with lighter stuff. I struggle at times with pants and everyday shoes. I tend to wear a lot of sneakers, and every time I try and change it, it just feels awkward. After watching your video’s, I have gone through a few tired looks, and now look at them differently. So thank you so much for all your help and input.
Currently, I am organizing for the season & purging (what does not fit correctly) . Thank you for the tips.
These are great reminders. I need to work on my lighter neutral footwear and trousers. I always go to black and navy.
Great video!!!! I agree with you about the socks but I enjoy creating an element of surprise !!! This means when I wear rubber boots due to rain or it’s cold outside si need dress boots, but what wear I colorful interesting socks so when I need to remove boots there is an element of surprise !!! It makes kids and grandkids giggle!!!!!
Great info!!! Loved it all!❤❤❤
Great video! The tonal segment was very helpful.
Beautiful flower arrangement!
Thank you so much 😊
I agree with all the mistakes and have made many myself!
You are such a natural talking to the camera. I like that you didn’t have your phone on the wobbly stand with you and click through your topics. Thank you! ❤
Oh thank you! Xx
Completely agree with all of these. I've created some personal fashion rules & to keep fashion enjoyable, stress low, finances intact and feeling great in my clothes. I've sold & donated some past pieces that no longer or never worked, and I feel great now. Those rules keep me in check & happy with my wardrobe.
Those green socks were adorable! Very youthful.
Great chat Deirdre,
Agree with all the mistakes, which like you have been made, esp about the underwear, its incredible what a difference it makes.
I didnt notice anything until you pointed to it. & yes menopause does this, so there is absolutely no need to apologise! x
You are100% right Deidre , I fined your videos wonderful and very helpful thank you 🥰
You had some tips I haven’t heard before and gave me some things to think about. So many of these”look old” videos have the same tips.
Thank you so much have learnt so much from your tips , you help with mistakes , keep those tips coming .x
I really love your positive attitude 🙂
Started following you lately and i love your tips and your advice. Living close to Italy means we tend to be very fashion conscious but at our age you also want to be smart and classic . That s what you offer! Thank you.
Thank you so much, Denise and a big welcome. XX
Your fashion advice is invaluable!
That's so kind of you, thank you. XX
I love all your videos and appreciate your insights into fashion. Thank you for all you do to keep us over 50 gals in style!
You're so welcome. XX
Thank you for your great advice!
I think you are just lovely and I always enjoy your videos. You offered really helpful tips and suggestions today. Thank you 🩷
I have never considered tonal value in my clothes which is important. Thank you for sharing this video.
Neither have I, but now I understand why some outfits just don't seem right. I'll be paying more attention now.
This was extremely helpful! Thank you!
Great tips again Deirdre. I recently had a bra fit as going through the menopause and knew my size had changed. Having the right bra is fundamental to clothes sitting well and looking streamlined. They also reveal waistlines and can make you feel more youthful, which I think is an important physiological aspect to it.
Great advice - as always!
Hi Deirdre. Lots of good advice . How sensible to buy clothes for our lifestyle, not for special occasions. I think you are so right about the tonal mistakes. 🌺🌺
It's something we don't always think about. XX
Fantastic video, great reminder xx
I can use those recommendations.
Thanks
Great video, Deirdre! I agree with you on all the points, including the one about socks, although they're trending right now, even worn with slingbacks! ❤
Oh my goodness! XX
Very helpful. Thank you for making this video.
You are delightful! And helpful!
Definitely on buying the same (or very similar) garment again and again.
I'm not guilty of spending all the budgets on occasion clothes (probably means I don't get invited to many-otherwise I probably would).
I love black but I think it gets very overused because it's perceived as being slimming and going with everything- which as you point out is only true some of the time.
I sew for a living , so lengths are not really a problem.
I LOVE wearing crazy socks with loafers or slim line sneakers and ankle pants. My favorites have famous artwork on them!
I LOVED this video!😊
Loved the video, as always, good tips, i totally agree with all the points you were speaking about.
Love the linen blouse, where is it from. 😊❤
04/22/24 I agree about the bra issue and undergarments. If I wear a lace cup bra under t-shirts, fabric wrinkles at bust. Buying smoother cup bras resolves this. Also pulling the bra up and not have a droopy bustline is more youthful.
A very informative video! And a great visual about drooping bustline you showed of that woman. Thank you!
Thanks Deirdre, that was a nice video with good tips.
Thank you so much from Michigan, USA! Great points!😊❤
This is such a good video as I have black trousers but they never seems to looks good on me and I just didn’t know why, so thank you!
I love your channel, your tips really work! 😊
Dedrie loved your mistake video great comments luv those linen green trousers luv watching ❤❤❤😊
