I am seventy or a woman followed me into the grocery store to tell me I looked amazing from head to toe she said so simple but put together she asked for a photo so she could recreate my look ,it was black loose fit blazer white shirt silver jewelry and black slim leg pants and black pointed toe flats sling back hair pulled back in a small ponytail and full makeup
I am 84, I was at the doctors office, a woman tapped me on the back and told me I looked so pretty. I have white hair, I always have a good haircut, short. I wore a linen maxi skirt with a linen camp shirt,, straight hem just past my waist, on outside of skirt, all black. Straw bag and Birkenstock sandals. I felt really good.
I will be 74 in a few days. I still wear 2 1/2 “ heels, and am healthy and active. I keep my weight in check, and stay modern and relevant . Elegant is my style. I love to find style inspiration on Pinterest. Love Ralph Lauren style
I wish I could wear heels!! I'm 75 and have bad knees that will have to be replaced in the future and heels hurt my knees! I'm so happy for you that you can.
I'm in my 70's, many on fixed income are re acquainting themselves with sewing, and up cycling thrifted clothing. I stay with the classics, It works and always can be updated with accessories
I love how the lovely ladies who sent in their pictures exude confidence and joy. They are having fun with fashion, and they each express it in their own way.
Hi Nada! Just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you put towards this series. I listened to all the decades. I’m a 60 yr old who loves fashion. All your advised was on point! And thanks to all the ladies that participated!
Thank you Nada. So enjoyed this week's video series! I'm 70+ and still am interested in looking stylish - my way. Appreciate your fashion tips and those mentioned by other readers. Shopping has its challenges at this age but please continue with your suggestions, options and fashion wisdom for our age group.😊
I just turned 70 this week and I recently started wearing skirts with a simple T-shirt and sometimes a linen jacket in the warm months. I wear ECCO sneakers for my day job bc I need orthotics for my high arches and I’m on my feet all day. I try to have a good haircut and right now i have a stylist who knows how to cut wavy hair. I’m still working a part time job and a silversmith, selling my work in galleries and now a tack shop. I believe God doesn’t expect less from older people, if anything, He expects more.
Suzie I love this SO much! Thank you! I think your outfit formula sounds elegant and effortless and I love that you are still creating your art. But most of all, love your words about God expecting more of us. Thank you for inspiring me today!
I’m 67 and have been reinventing my wardrobe. Going from a natural redhead to having white hair. I let it grow out natural during the pandemic. My husband loves the new look. It is fun to dress up again. I live in Hawaii and am sick of the vacation look everywhere I look. Instead I’m wearing dresses and skirts. Pretty shoes and wonderful coats, etc. I live at 4000 feet up the mountain so I get cold. I’m hoping that I will be able to wear heels again but for now have replaced with kitten heels. I just bought a pair of beautiful leather boots so am looking for a great field jacket. Fun, fun, fun.
My sister from another mother. Maybe I know you. 🤗 I live in Hawaii too, grew my hair out during the pandemic, and lived at 3350 elevation until two months ago when I moved down to sea level. The change in hair color and temp really changed my basic wardrobe completely. It is now all linens and cottons and sandals for me.
You are amazing. This channel is amazing. And your commitment to older women is beyond belief. I'm so happy to have discovered you, because, until now, my style felt like a solo journey where I was the ONLY 70 + year old woman who wants to be stylish. And in reading the comments, I feel that I've finally found my group. Yay!
Love this video, I needed it! I just turned 72 and retired as a home stager (don't want to work nights and weekends anymore) so it's a real transition year and decade for me. I'm definitely hitting save on this video.
I am 74 and I am quirky but not outrageous. I think that clothes should be fun And bags, jewelry, shoes, fun earrings all add to the Style of any outfit. Bright colors are all over my wardrobe and I wear what I like. Love the information you give!
I’m at the beginning of my 60s but I liked watching all the decades. I don’t think they have to be that different tbh. You said something in this one about wearing whatever you want and I have been doing that since my 30s.
"Lean into your personal style and curate your closet for where you are now." Love that! Great shoe advice! Love the bag options, too! Love ALL the advice in this video! My fav of your decades videos. :)
I will be 73 next month and involved in the arts in my community. I have always been active and started weight lifting last year. I am loving my life and feel healthy and very confident in my classic/ boho style. I am dreaming of owning a Farm Rio dress. Thank you for your help and videos!
ha my style too I often wear blazers over boho tops and skirts...or dresses or print palazzo pants or my jeans and a boho top. I but alot of Karma Road pieces great prints in terrific colors. I live abraod in a tourist town in the tropics ...it attracts alot of American, Canadian, and European tourists...20 some things and retirees especially. We are a day trip from our Pacific port for winter cruise ship passengers. I get constant compliments....local little girls want their photo with me...they think I am a Disney princes or their parents do...a Latin country it is so cute. Im 77 look about 65 my dermatologist says...she cant believe I was a sailor for a decade. But I RELIGIOUSLY used sunscreen and now use Tretinoin nightly. I love looking unique. I also wear a real Ecuadoran Panama hat with a long Antigue hatpin so it doesnt blow off...my dermatologist says thenhighest sunscreen only filters out 50% of the sun so ALWAYS wear a HAT...and I do.
This was great. I enjoy all your content NADA I actually can relate to what you’re saying, my background is, I am an artist\painter,\ retired art teacher. I know all about getting excited over these things. You have so many good ideas, for example, taking pictures of yourself in an outfit to remember it when you need to rush out of the house, for example. I am going to forward this particular video to a friend who is just asking me about this subject. Take care and stay well
@@rhondamarcelissen2919 thank you so so much! This means a lot to me and I’m so honored that you would share it with your friend. So glad you found these tips helpful!
I am 71. I have always applied this rule: I am NOT a "type," a category, a style group. I understand the purpose of saying, "I am preppy," "I am artistic," etc., but I find it demeaning to be put in a box. I have always felt this way... hope I always will. Three questions: Why did I spend time watching this? How long till this channel drops out of my feed? When does this woman breathe?
I just found your channel - watched how to dress in your 70s. My daughter watched your 40s video. When I worked my style was classic blazers & dress pants. Now my lifestyle is definitely casual. I subscribed so will he watching more of your videos!
I turn 70 this month. Shoes are such a problem due to foot issues. I’ve never been able to tolerate heels. I used to love my Birkenstocks but now find them intolerable, I think because of loss of fat padding in my feet. Bunions, contracted toes. I also used to find clogs really comfortable, but no longer. Sandals are necessary because of living in South Florida.
I find Mephisto shoes feel great even after 8 hours. I am 74 and have loss of fat pads. These are an investment, but you can send them back to the company to have them refurbished and repaired. They come back to you like a new pair.
Hi Carole! You can set up a session with me here. It’s free and I’m happy to help! stylesessionwithnada.as.me/schedule/dbd0ac9b/appointment/9526161/calendar/276901?appointmentTypeIds%5B%5D=9526161
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
Thanks for your video. I am 78. There are no manufacturers of shoes in my size of women's size 4 extra wide, so I actually have no choices, but managed to find a very few shoes that fit direct from China... I usually have to throw out 3 pairs out of every four pairs I buy online as I can't try them on before I get them... I like everything to match and tend to go for the classic, timeless, elegant garments. Most of my handbags are Italian leather by Brahmin that I have ordered from the United States, and I go for the ones with three leathers, the higher-end styles. Also there are no ready to wear clothes in my size, (my height 55 inches) but we don't have the stores you mention here on Northern Vancouver Island. Thanks for all your advice.
Thank you for this helpful post. I am 78 and do find dressing more challenging. I agree about prints, it is easier to put together outfits when you have simple,quieter pieces. I have the horrors of looking frumpy. A lot of stylists make you feel guilty about wearing capris and not following "current" pant trends that make you look fat and dumpy. I used to wear belts and had a small waist, I have to rethink my style! Boy are boobs a challenge! You are right on about shoe challenges, they must be feather light and grip the foot. I have a grandson marrying next year and I worry about looking nice and not the frumpy grandma!
I am a senior citizen and late 60's. My problem, I am only 5' 1" height. I also don't have a car anymore and take buses all the time. So....I don't wear high heels, don't wear pointy toe shoes, because I have to walk about 4 blocks to a bus stop. Also, although some bus stops have bus bench, other locations don't. I need a comfortable shoe but also don't wear flats. My go to shoe is platform/wedgy sneakers because they are the most comfortable shoe, especially when I am traipsing around on buses. The only other shoes I wear, mostly in the winter are ankle boots with about 1 1/2 inch block heel. It is hard to find my size shoe which is about 5 1/2. or even size 5. Yes, I have small feet and not too much choices in thst size. Forget buying at stores like Macy's, Nordstrom, way, way too expensive for shoes and clothes, even supposed sale prices at these stores are still expensive. Don't know what to do because stores like Wal Mart or Target, with more affordable prices for shoes and clothes, don't have very good selection in small sizes, especially in shoes.
I'm 71- lost 2 sizes 2 years ago so have been treating myself to all new clothes! Slowly - lots of basics (New with Tags) on a resale website 🎉. I love Quince and am doing all neutrals😁👍🏼... Jeans!! Always wear makeup , fashion high heels, espadrilles or those fashion running shoes for everyday...as this makes me happy. Thanks for this video❤
Challenge on, Nada! Find me a shoe! I wear a size 10Med shoe. BUT: I have some very hefty, full foot orthotics that limit my options. Mostly, I'm in sneakers. This spring, white/beige New Balance platforms. Occasionally a Naturalizer flat without the inserts but only for very short periods and no standing about.
Yes, exactly! I'm 70 (which I cannot really believe) and we can now wear whatever we damn-well please :0) I happen to be into styling my outfits, and enjoy art and design, I'm signalling to the world that I am creative and unconventional. I have friends who want to be schlumpy. It makes them feel completely free and they are signalling to the world that they absolutely do not care what anyone thinks about how they are dressed. Both are entirely valid statements. It's the in-between that gets tricky and you covered that territory beautifully!
I think Stuart Weitzman and Cole Haan do stylish and comfortable flats. I've also found that I can do good condition second hand flats, although for heels I have to buy new and break into my own foot. I am currently battling losing my big toe nail, and was ridiculously relieved when the podiatrist told me it was due to a ballet impact injury and not the dreaded old person nail fungus. Kind of amused at my own reaction. All my life I've loved clean white slip on Keds, and that hasn't changed. As far as hair color, they will have to pry my hair dye from my cold dead fingers. A good quality salon keeps it from looking too harsh. I just turned 70 and am so glad to be beyond my early years "counterculture feminism can't dress up at all" days, and my mid years "have to dress like a man so they take you seriously" corporate days. Love your channel!
I don’t like having to wear flats only in my 70’s due to balance issues, but I have found cute shoes that work for me. I have neuropathy and so what do you wear when you cannot even wear plain flats as they won’t stay on feet.
Besides a blazer or jacket, what do you consider a good outer layering piece. I’m also in Florida. I’m miles from the closest mall. I used to buy almost exclusively from QVC.. now they seem to design clothes not fashion. I’ve stopped buying there. I see them as “old lady clothes.” HELP !
I don't have many print tops but my favorites are 2 from Talbots and one from Chicos. Yes .. I agree that in general they are not the most youthful but a much younger customer at Talbots convinced me to keep an orange sort of boho peasant blouse ( I'm much more preppy / classic) and I'm glad I have it. My recent Ch8co blouse is white linen with a frayed edge design and a soft scattered floral print.
I hate shopping for clothes! I'm 70, 5'2" with short legs. I've been dealing with medical issues for the last 30 yrs. One of the medicines is prednisone which not only puts on weight but shifts it to the abdomen and back of the neck. I gained 50 pounds in 6 months from it. I have breathing issues so it's very difficult to work out or even walk very far to tone up. So I look like a barrel with relatively thin legs sticking out the bottom. So for pants to fit my waist, they are baggy in the leg. I need supportive shoes as I have had a knee and hip replaced and spinal fusion. Also, my one foot is always swollen and the other is a good half to full size smaller so if I wear a little cute pump, one shoe flops off all the time. I have recently been trying to diet and lost 25 pounds. Now everything looks awful on me. I cannot afford these stores you're talking about. I've looked at Talbots. One blouse is almost $100.! It's also exhausting to go to stores and gets me out of breath. Trying to shop online is terrible. They always picture the clothes on skinny models. When I put it on, I look dumpy. Also, why do they make plus size clothes look so awful? I have good taste in clothes and used to look very sharp, but it seems impossible anymore. Sorry to be such a downer, but this is my reality.
@@laurielenig9939 Depends. I do like some florals, even large ones. But swimwear tends to have florals in blues and purples that are horrible. I've seen some large florals that I like, but I think they have a lot of plain background.
I totally understand that as a petite. Fortunately, that is changing. But yes, it’s hard to know what something is going to look like on us if we can’t see it on someone who is roughly the same height or size… thank you so much for the comment.
I don’t pick the models. The stores do. The women that I teach in the second half of the video are in their 70s, but if you want to unsubscribe, I cannot stop you.
I am 75 and my knees are so painful but I would like a shoe that looks sharp. Totally flat shoes are almost as bad as heels. I wear a size 8 medium width. I tend to prefer to dress rather artsy but not flowing as I make jewelry and love to do batik, watercolor painting, slab clay quirky designs. Not a Birkenstock lady!!
I saw a fantastic lady in her 70s with a sleek grey-hair bun, dark-wash slim-straight jeans with a turn-up (one of the trends this year), stylish medium heels, a simple tucked-in top and cropped jacket. She looked amazing and had a lovely slender body that made her look young and healthy. Hobbs Imogen boots have a comfy medium heel and the suede will mould around wide feet too. I have several fashionable women friends in their 70s, they wear great simple pieces from Uniqlo and Marks & Spencer's, e.g. straight leg jeans/A-line knee-length linen/wool skirts, trench coats, they dress down more formal pieces (e.g. tweed jackets) and choose simple jewellery. Wearing top to toe ladylike/classic clothes is very ageing from our 40s onwards. I have structured bags that don't look too old, I prefer suede/nubuck to polished leather and stay away from shiny gold hardware, buckles, I even find gold buttons way too brassy and ageing. You can look amazing in straight jeans and a white t-shirt and trainers/sneakers in your 70s, but look after your posture, weight and don't overdo it with chunky jewellery and other ageing accessories (Hermes scarf? Not for me, but Gucci vintage mickey mouse necktie? Yes!)
Fitted styles can be a trouble with length. Hard to find a seamstress or tailor. I have 6 more pair of pants that need hemming. Too tall for petite and not quite 5’7’.
I love prints, flowery, lots of colors, embellishments. Of those two pairs of sandals, I hated the top ones and thought the bottom ones were much cuter. I don't like some of these "modern" looks. I've never much cared for the basic neutral look. It is a blessing to be alive, healthy, active and to grow more confident and wiser with age; but physically growing old is not such a blessing.
I just started the catalog so I started with basics, but I will be adding much more so bookmark the catalog and check back. I put a lot of thought into each of the items so I am not going to add anything random. :) the focus of the catalogues is to be filled with the exact right essentials for each decade and then I will add statement pieces and trend pieces seasonally. More ideas check out my ageless brands catalog.
You obviously are picturing all of the prints, bad or good. But we do not see what you are picturing. Please use pictures! Thank you. You have very good content and ideas, but we are not able to see what you see in your imagination.
You are very difficult to follow on your show . You explain and show more about what you shouldn’t wear and hardly ever what you should wear. I find that what you say and describe is so confusing. I will not be watching you.
Hello Nada, I just discovered you and your channel. Did not know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. One thing I came to realize is that you know just a few of the stores you had mentioned and had no idea there was such a thing as ageless.stores. I would love such a list. Please send me the ageless store list…. Many thanks…
I am seventy or a woman followed me into the grocery store to tell me I looked amazing from head to toe she said so simple but put together she asked for a photo so she could recreate my look ,it was black loose fit blazer white shirt silver jewelry and black slim leg pants and black pointed toe flats sling back hair pulled back in a small ponytail and full makeup

I wish I could wear heels!! I'm 75 and have bad knees that will have to be replaced in the future and heels hurt my knees! I'm so happy for you that you can.

Too much talking with very little examples of what to wear
And, at 70, I'm not hearing anything I don't already know.
Yes, many more examples would be nice.
@@westernnut8407 me too😊
Yes to much talking and not enough examples. Very confusing.
Wish you had photos to go along!
I will do more photos next time. I was really thinking about tips here but I see your point for sure.
Wear your nice clothes everyday! Yes yes yes!
Want more pictures/examples
I am 73. Go to the gym almost every day. So I find myself in athleta clothes every day. But I will be on the look out for a pair of great jeans.

I’m starting to be 74 and I just retired from being a home stager also. I loved it for a long time. I still help from time to time
Sherry what is a home stager?!
I do so hope that lots and lots of people watch this and learn from it! Esp the shoes…❤️
You’re on a roll….Such a fun video!
I’m 74 now, 4’11” and an apple shape. I found Talbots about 2 years ago. I love classic styles.
I am 74 and I am quirky but not outrageous. I think that clothes should be fun

I really agree with you on the shoes...maybe the one item that can really ruin an outfit and make you look older .

Decades week continues with the stylish 70s! Have you grabbed my Ageless Stores list yet? If not, comment Ageless below and I'll send you the link!

Great video! Im going to share it with my sister & Mom. ❤
Just discovered you and loved this video! But more pictures of the GOOD choices would be nice.

Hi I’m a 7 1/2 in shoe with plantar fascitis, high arch, and balance issues. Thanks for your help!
I would like a saddle that can go with dresses and capris. I can wear a small heal. Size 6 with a narrow or medium width.
Please explain what you mean by saddle. I am not sure I know what you mean. I would be happy to help!
How to reach out to you as to what colors we should wear?

The only other shoes I wear, mostly in the winter are ankle boots with about 1 1/2 inch block heel. It is hard to find my size shoe which is about 5 1/2. or even size 5. Yes, I have small feet and not too much choices in thst size.
Forget buying at stores like Macy's, Nordstrom, way, way too expensive for shoes and clothes, even supposed sale prices at these stores are still expensive. Don't know what to do because stores like Wal Mart or Target, with more affordable prices for shoes and clothes, don't have very good selection in small sizes, especially in shoes.
I'm 71- lost 2 sizes 2 years ago so have been treating myself to all new clothes! Slowly - lots of basics (New with Tags) on a resale website 🎉. I love Quince and am doing all neutrals😁👍🏼... Jeans!! Always wear makeup , fashion high heels, espadrilles or those fashion running shoes for everyday...as this makes me happy. Thanks for this video❤
Challenge on, Nada! Find me a shoe!
I wear a size 10Med shoe. BUT: I have some very hefty, full foot orthotics that limit my options. Mostly, I'm in sneakers. This spring, white/beige New Balance platforms. Occasionally a Naturalizer flat without the inserts but only for very short periods and no standing about.
I found vivaia brand to be a great fit of light weight, easy entry, stylish and good if you have bunions, hammertoes.
Love all these tips for us!
Thank you so much Judith!
Yes, exactly! I'm 70 (which I cannot really believe) and we can now wear whatever we damn-well please :0) I happen to be into styling my outfits, and enjoy art and design, I'm signalling to the world that I am creative and unconventional. I have friends who want to be schlumpy. It makes them feel completely free and they are signalling to the world that they absolutely do not care what anyone thinks about how they are dressed. Both are entirely valid statements. It's the in-between that gets tricky and you covered that territory beautifully!
I think Stuart Weitzman and Cole Haan do stylish and comfortable flats. I've also found that I can do good condition second hand flats, although for heels I have to buy new and break into my own foot. I am currently battling losing my big toe nail, and was ridiculously relieved when the podiatrist told me it was due to a ballet impact injury and not the dreaded old person nail fungus. Kind of amused at my own reaction. All my life I've loved clean white slip on Keds, and that hasn't changed. As far as hair color, they will have to pry my hair dye from my cold dead fingers. A good quality salon keeps it from looking too harsh. I just turned 70 and am so glad to be beyond my early years "counterculture feminism can't dress up at all" days, and my mid years "have to dress like a man so they take you seriously" corporate days. Love your channel!
I don’t like having to wear flats only in my 70’s due to balance issues, but I have found cute shoes that work for me. I have neuropathy and so what do you wear when you cannot even wear plain flats as they won’t stay on feet.
I'd love to hear how to dress classically in the summer heat.
Will definitely do something about that Carole!
Naot makes great comfort sandals.
Besides a blazer or jacket, what do you consider a good outer layering piece. I’m also in Florida. I’m miles from the closest mall. I used to buy almost exclusively from QVC.. now they seem to design clothes not fashion. I’ve stopped buying there. I see them as “old lady clothes.” HELP !
My favorite clothing is Alfred Dunner.
I don't have many print tops but my favorites are 2 from Talbots and one from Chicos. Yes .. I agree that in general they are not the most youthful but a much younger customer at Talbots convinced me to keep an orange sort of boho peasant blouse ( I'm much more preppy / classic) and I'm glad I have it. My recent Ch8co blouse is white linen with a frayed edge design and a soft scattered floral print.
I’m sorry but I need to see clothing worn.
True, it's a bless8ng to age, especially considering having to face a pandemic that targeted our pers. Yeah, us we're still here and kicking. 😊👍❤️
Absolutely! We are all still here! Let’s make the most of it
I'm 58 in a wheelchair I'm always sitting down I need a look
I hate shopping for clothes! I'm 70, 5'2" with short legs. I've been dealing with medical issues for the last 30 yrs. One of the medicines is prednisone which not only puts on weight but shifts it to the abdomen and back of the neck. I gained 50 pounds in 6 months from it. I have breathing issues so it's very difficult to work out or even walk very far to tone up. So I look like a barrel with relatively thin legs sticking out the bottom. So for pants to fit my waist, they are baggy in the leg. I need supportive shoes as I have had a knee and hip replaced and spinal fusion. Also, my one foot is always swollen and the other is a good half to full size smaller so if I wear a little cute pump, one shoe flops off all the time. I have recently been trying to diet and lost 25 pounds. Now everything looks awful on me. I cannot afford these stores you're talking about. I've looked at Talbots. One blouse is almost $100.! It's also exhausting to go to stores and gets me out of breath. Trying to shop online is terrible. They always picture the clothes on skinny models. When I put it on, I look dumpy. Also, why do they make plus size clothes look so awful? I have good taste in clothes and used to look very sharp, but it seems impossible anymore. Sorry to be such a downer, but this is my reality.
Ageless stories sounds interesting
Sorry I just saw this Sherry! Here's the link! hueandstripe.com/catalog/306H&S4tPh?s=874959
I hate those "old lady" prints; they are all over swimwear. I'm in my 70s and agree with your points.
Karen...how about the over the top florals!?!
@@laurielenig9939 Depends. I do like some florals, even large ones. But swimwear tends to have florals in blues and purples that are horrible. I've seen some large florals that I like, but I think they have a lot of plain background.
Nightmares about prints!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I’m 80 what I hate is showing slim tall models, this is not the average, so many go into a store to create that outfit only to feel defeated.
I totally understand that as a petite. Fortunately, that is changing. But yes, it’s hard to know what something is going to look like on us if we can’t see it on someone who is roughly the same height or size… thank you so much for the comment.
I don’t pick the models. The stores do. The women that I teach in the second half of the video are in their 70s, but if you want to unsubscribe, I cannot stop you.
I wear ballet flats.
They are beautiful
I am 75 and my knees are so painful but I would like a shoe that looks sharp. Totally flat shoes are almost as bad as heels. I wear a size 8 medium width. I tend to prefer to dress rather artsy but not flowing as I make jewelry and love to do batik, watercolor painting, slab clay quirky designs. Not a Birkenstock lady!!
I saw a fantastic lady in her 70s with a sleek grey-hair bun, dark-wash slim-straight jeans with a turn-up (one of the trends this year), stylish medium heels, a simple tucked-in top and cropped jacket. She looked amazing and had a lovely slender body that made her look young and healthy. Hobbs Imogen boots have a comfy medium heel and the suede will mould around wide feet too. I have several fashionable women friends in their 70s, they wear great simple pieces from Uniqlo and Marks & Spencer's, e.g. straight leg jeans/A-line knee-length linen/wool skirts, trench coats, they dress down more formal pieces (e.g. tweed jackets) and choose simple jewellery. Wearing top to toe ladylike/classic clothes is very ageing from our 40s onwards. I have structured bags that don't look too old, I prefer suede/nubuck to polished leather and stay away from shiny gold hardware, buckles, I even find gold buttons way too brassy and ageing. You can look amazing in straight jeans and a white t-shirt and trainers/sneakers in your 70s, but look after your posture, weight and don't overdo it with chunky jewellery and other ageing accessories (Hermes scarf? Not for me, but Gucci vintage mickey mouse necktie? Yes!)
I'm 70 and I dress very stylishly. I dress in bright colours and younger styles. I don't look 70 . I can pass for in my 50's
Fitted styles can be a trouble with length. Hard to find a seamstress or tailor. I have 6 more pair of pants that need hemming. Too tall for petite and not quite 5’7’.
Closet please
Ok Nada…find me a shoe. I wear a 10 1/2 AA and have bunions on both feet. I need a dress shoe for a wedding in October. Thanks!
Ferrargamo makes custom sizes.
Sorry I just saw this! These could work Paula. rstyle.me/+H_-IMd5fC8qd-j_xwA9RIg
These are so comfortable bunion friendly and flexible in terms of width. rstyle.me/+LzkTrP3Nnw3PMYTYCIhbtw
These are moldable to your foot and the slingback keeps them on the back because they are adjustable. rstyle.me/+sLQMMWWiBaGht6aUfiAlbQ
Sumissura does custom sizing. www.sumissura.com/en-us/women/shoes/stylish-shoes/?menu=m_shoes
I love prints, flowery, lots of colors, embellishments. Of those two pairs of sandals, I hated the top ones and thought the bottom ones were much cuter. I don't like some of these "modern" looks. I've never much cared for the basic neutral look.
It is a blessing to be alive, healthy, active and to grow more confident and wiser with age; but physically growing old is not such a blessing.
Macy's has a big shoe sale now.
I think 70 year olds should be old enough to decide how they want to dress.
I don’t think you watched the video. 😍
No one says they cant. If you are happy the way you are why watch channels like this
@@lorrainevart8827 thank you ❤️
Nordstrom is saying they ship to Canada again
Don't forget to sign up for Closet Confidence! www.nadamanley.com/fnl/closetworkshop/signup
it auto corrected - "70's"
Looks like it's all about T-shirts, button ups and jeans. I have to say I am a bid disappointed in your lists, but love the content of the video.
I just started the catalog so I started with basics, but I will be adding much more so bookmark the catalog and check back. I put a lot of thought into each of the items so I am not going to add anything random. :) the focus of the catalogues is to be filled with the exact right essentials for each decade and then I will add statement pieces and trend pieces seasonally. More ideas check out my ageless brands catalog.

Thanks so much! You can find it here. hueandstripe.com/closet/306H&S4tPh?s=874959
You obviously are picturing all of the prints, bad or good. But we do not see what you are picturing. Please use pictures! Thank you. You have very good content and ideas, but we are not able to see what you see in your imagination.
What rules!! At 70 one of the bonuses is they no longer apply 😂😂
Totally agree :) and that's actually the whole theme of this video
Slow your speech down…YOUR HEADING FOR A HEART ATTACK.
People don’t understand shoes!!!
Most of these women are tall😢
I found your presentation unorganised. It would be better to talk less and show pictures. I also found your voice annoying.
You are very difficult to follow on your show . You explain and show more about what you shouldn’t wear and hardly ever what you should wear. I find that what you say and describe is so confusing. I will not be watching you.
So oooo much talking . . .
Indeed
My life is better than Linda's.
Way too much talking, too fast, too many ums & very few visuals. Unsubscribing
Shut up and show…it’s UA-cam and not a podcast. Still nothing shown at 5 minutes plus. No thanks.
Yes too much talking
You talk too much,can you show more fabric choices
Hello Nada, I just discovered you and your channel. Did not know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. One thing I came to realize is that you know just a few of the stores you had mentioned and had no idea there was such a thing as ageless.stores. I would love such a list. Please send me the ageless store list…. Many thanks…
