At my age, I'm afraid loosing ten years is going to do much for me. Looking 73 is still old. Since I am down to 5'1", I settle for trying to look small, cute and lively. I also smile a lot. I try to be polite and thankful for the day I've been given. Your tips and my basic attitude keeps people treating me more like a cute treasure than a relic.
I love your advice! Blessings to you ❤
I just turned 69. I will never ever dress like an “old woman.” I am your height, 98 pounds, will never give up skinny jeans and flares. Dress young and tasteful.
Fyi 73 is fabulous don’t forget all the beauty that is you …..as we grow older it’s important to adjust our idea of what beauty really is try this trick not super easy but once you master it super effective I want you to look in the mirror and I want you to look at yourself and you tell yourself that is what beauty is that image that you see in the mirror at this moment in time that is what beauty is…..do this several times a day every day and you will find yourself loving what you see and identifying with your image! and here’s a tip to remember that you are a spirit inside a body you your essence is not your body your spirit is experiencing human form why we do not teach more self-love is beyond me but I bet you are absolutely fabulous and you should believe that…..I’m sure you have more wisdom, knowledge and experience to share which is the true beauty of life and these are your unique gifts to share with the world you have earned your stripes to hold your head high and are more prized than you realize, God bless xoxo
Susan, it's not the years in your life, but the life in your years that count, I'm 74 and most days I feel full of energy
Love !!!! 👋🏼❤️
I am 71, and the only place I ever go (mostly) is my church. I do have kimono-type draped covers, and after watching this video I’m going to donate all but one. Boxy!!
By the way, about 3 yrs ago, I changed my style goal from trendy to elegant. Also, I believe the number one beauty secret for women my age is good health.
I love that! You're definitely on the right track of keeping yourself feeling confident in your style. Thanks so much for sharing that with me, and thank you for watching! xo
Thank you! Years ago I saw an actress say “too much fabric makes you look older” and it’s true. As a bigger, taller woman, most of the advice we get doesn’t work. Almost all the clothing for us the last 30 years is boxy, ugly, costume-like, garish-like a lot of the “before” outfits you wear here (ugh that chunky necklace reminded me of those cheap plastic things grandmas wore in the 70’s). I find that our clothing should be somewhat fitted. Not over-tight or too small, but somewhat fitted to show you have a body.
I'm so glad that you enjoyed this video. You are exactly right...you don't want to add bulk with extra fabric, but find ways to dress strategically with body skimming tops! Thanks for your comment. xo
Now people keep telling me that the skinny jeans are out of style. I'm looking for a little wider leg in a raw hem It's hard to be fashionable over 50 sometimes. I'm working on it thanks for the tips
OMG! I totally feel called out! Most of your “before” outfits were eerily similar to my every day looks. I used to say that I was dressed like a librarian or Mrs. Weasley from Harry Potter. Not that I’ve watched your video, I can see why my daughter kept telling me that my clothes weren’t doing anything for me. Thank you for putting this video together. I think the only other thing I would have like to see are the purses you would have recommend. I am guilty of using the same black purse with EVERYTHING because it’s practical. Not that practical is a bad thing. In fact, I appreciate that you remind us to shop our own closet first. If you ever do a video on purses, I’d love you to include a couple purse option for each outfit. For example, some of us need to carry reading glasses, snacks (to maintain blood sugar), and bottled water everywhere we go IN ADDITION to wallet and keys while others may be able to get away with those crossbody purses. If you would consider that for a future video, that would be awesome! Again, thank you for your time and ideas!
I'm SO glad you found this helpful, Jenny! I often recommend buying one really high quality purse and wearing it everyday instead of spending less on a bunch of separate bags. Nothing boring about that! I do have this video where I talk a bit about bags as well as other accessories: ua-cam.com/video/36r86Pp5ThQ/v-deo.html
Haha! The thought of a cross body bag on me makes me laugh. My boobs get bigger as I get older and a strap across the middle looks ridiculous. 😄
I never wear jeans. My stomach is too big. To fit my waist the rest of the jeans are too large. I wish more clothing companies would do vertical stripes... they are difficult to find.
I Love seeing the before and after with the "time machine". I realized I have many of the frumpy looks, i.e., oversize prints, handkerchief hemline sweater, frumpy shoes. This really opened my eyes and made me want to go through my closet...TODAY! Thanks Erin.
I'm so glad this was helpful, Patti! xo
I would love to see the before and after on different size ladies as well. Even someone just holding onto 10 extra lbs. thanks for these videos.
Even do the same outfit on several different size and shape ladies to show how not all looks, look good on everyone.
There’s plenty of other channels with larger ladies doing the same thing
My mom is almost 69 and she ALWAYS gets mistaken for being a lot younger - she wears what she wants and feels good in and that's the key. She doesn't try to dress a certain way. She used to until I made her just wear what she loved without worrying about how others might view her. Since then, she regularly gets compliments every time we're out and no one believes she's a day over 55. WEAR WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD!!! 😁😁😁🖤🖤🖤
I looove this philosophy!
Exactly
Your mum rocks!
How we feel is always the most important part of how others perceive us. It shows on this video as well. It's not just the clothes that create the difference, it's also how she feels wearing them, how she holds herself. In the before the shoulders are down and the way she moves is that of someone feeling small and in the after she stands taller and feels more confident. Clothes can surely have that affect, but we can also feel confident in ourselves, which is preferred anyway and it will definitely be seen by others.
@@jsi4064 that's so sweet 😁🖤! And yeah...she's pretty awesome 😉.
Just shopped my closet this morning after watching your video yesterday. So much easier to part with items I’d held onto b/c of your tips about pants lengths, prints, & more! I’m going to my grandkids’ programs this weekend & think I’ve got some cute combos that definitely look more youthful. (I’m 71.) Thanks!
Chi i
I happen to be a size 14/16 at 5'2". I saw this video and found in my closet a top very similar to the creme v neck one . Put it on top of a pair of skinny jeans and love it. My daughter commented on the great look as soon as she saw me. I am 64!
Thanks for sharing! That's great, Gabriele! xo
Same age, height and size. Used to be size 4 and going bunkers since now I have to deal with age and weight. Uffff
@@chimi1924 - thank goodness for your post. I’m going through the exact same issue. I was 99 lbs, all my adult life to around menopause age 50, which added 25 lbs. I’m 5’2”, size 14, I’m 73. At age 69 I was 125 lbs. size 6-8.
Age 70 hit and everything changed, my waistline disappeared, bust got bigger, weight on hips and butt. My darn doctors said, I’m healthy, no issues, no prescriptions, and it’s just my age.
I hate that. I eat healthy, but weight went to 160. So, needless to say, my style of dressing changed. I wore skinny jeans and tops just as in the video and heels. Now, I still can wear heels, nice ones, slim slacks, tank tops to hide tummy, and and loose overage shirt, jackets type…open front. Jeans are uncomfortable now due to tummy, hate zippers. I never show my upper arms, they got flabby. My husband says I always look nice, put together, which makes me feel good, and I still get compliments but I’m not happy with the body change because how it’s affected my style of dressing. Being short with large bustline, moderate tummy makes me feel dumpy, so no more dresses.
The point is many older ladies get so many “trouble” body spots, it’s difficult to camouflage all of them, especially if you’re a bit vain and like to look good.
You sound lovely.
I’m looking at all your responses. I’m 66, 5’2” and trying to lose weight but definitely seem to have lost my waist.
Your “BEFORES” are basically the uniform of HSN, QVC, & South Florida! LOL! Thanks for always redirecting us to youth & modernity.
You are so welcome, Judi! xo
Oh my gosh, Judi.....you are spot on with your comment. While watching Erin and some of these outfits, I thought it looked like QVC as well.
Judi Heinlein True story!
I kept thinking, "Did she raid my mother-in-law's closet?" 😂
What is going on with QVC??? In England we get lovely Peter Kaiser shoes paired with some bloomin’ monstrosity from Kim and Co and the presenters act like it’s Dior! 🤣
Agree, Agree, Agree!! I am 45 and loving my look. In the past few years I stopped dressing like a teenager and came across a youthful but not teenybopper or older look. My youngest daughter is 12 and commented the other day, mommy everywhere we go someone compliments you :) We are heading on vacation next month and this evening she asked me to help her shop online for great looks for her. We had the best time browsing together. When I tell people I have 4 children and my oldest is 24 they don't believe me. It's because of my look, youthful and modern.
Love that! Have a great trip! xo
I am 44 and having a hard time with everything from make up to clothes to the point I haven't done my makeup or left sweats for to long
@@teressaviola-moore2698 I understand what you mean! I’m 57 and started watching style videos and also makeup/skincare videos on UA-cam. I have been learning so much! I feel like these ladies make it easy to learn and also give a wide variety of options (prices) to choose from. If you don’t watch any of the makeup/ skincare channels, there are a lot of fun ones.
The style advice has helped me a lot as I was always wearing baggier clothing to cover weight gain. Good luck and hope you find what you like!
Leuk
So, I put a few of your tips to the test and here is the outcome. My husband goes on a lot of business trips and sometimes stays away more than a month at a time. Today, I picked him up from the airport and he said, " you look much thinner." I said, "thank you! I have been cutting back as, I devilishly smiled. Not only did I feel stylish, I felt slim, young and fashionable. I am 50 years old and sometimes I worry of dressing too young and end up dressing like my clothes is 3 sizes too big. Thank you.
Awesome! ❤️
Thank you so much. I really learnt a lot. I dress a lot like in your before videos. I am going to try and change the way I dress.
I miss “What not to Wear” with Stacey & Clinton, but now we have you Erin!👍🏼😊
You are so funny! I also loved that show! xo
Lisa Tuzzolino Live that show and watch the re runs! Lol
Yessssss!!! I was thinking the very same thing Lisa! 😃
Yes! That was such a good show! Erin nailed it!
Lisa Tuzzolino omg I used to LOVE that show!!! I used to want to purposely dress bad so I could be nominated by someone!
This video is exactly what sets you apart: you teach, explain and show how to dress more modern! LOVE it! Well done Erin!! 🤩🙌🏻💕
You are so sweet, Terri! Thank you! xo
You are my favorite style advice lady
Maybe, but how many of us can AFFORD Natasha Jeans? Come on here, we're in the middle of a Pandemic and a lot of us are not working right now. :(
Agree 100 %👍
Perfect from beginning to end! Side by size technique is great!
I'm 73 years old, 5'2", 100 lbs, 36c bra, and need confort shoes. Thanks so much for covering all these issues.
Love the time machine and side by sides especially! I’m super petite and until recently have always been super fit but terrified to wear form fitting clothes so I’ve always dressed like a bag lady. Now that I’m in my mid thirties I’m regretting it. Your videos help someone like me who has a lifetime of unlearning to do!
No one does modern, comfortable sophisticated fashion for women like you, Erin. Thank you!
Thank you so much, Kay! xo
I love her style but it just doesn't fit my life or style. Just try to take some tips to make things work for me.
As a stylish 29 year old, I 100% agree with all these! Beautiful sunglasses, the minimal jewelry, a designer purse, pretty edgy shoes, designer shades, and tighter neutrals always look modern!
So thankful to have you understand the need to shop your closet, for simplicity and budget.
Thank you Erin! I love everything about you and your channel! Thank you for being so transparent and for being so caring of women who are hurting!
I LOVED THIS VIDEO! THE BEFORE & AFTER WERE SO HELPFUL!
I really benefitted from your specific mention of jeans for petite, classic sunglasses, classic dainty jewelry, comfy shoes.
I am confused on when 3/4 sleeves are OK and when they are NOT OK. AND which handbags are OK and NOT OK. Would love a before and after video on those topics. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Omg! I’m 64 and don’t wear any of these frumpy clothes. Modern clean classic with a tiny bit of edge I can pass for 50 something! Good video
That's great, Denise! xo
Love this time machine approach. Great video!
Name checks out, yeah?
Hi Erin
I would love to see your samples in all different body samples as well as yours. This way we can apply what you are teaching to our proper shape. Thanks for all your hard work!
i appreciate the work you put into your videos, Erin.. the pause of your sideview is priceless so i can see the front and back differences in the clothes' lengths.. and the side by side of the not-to-wear and the suggested-to-wear.. thank you so much for your good taste and your work ethic...
You are so kind. Thank you! xo
Love this video! The before and after "Time Machine" so good!
I really like the side-by-side comparisons. The time machine graphic not so much. Thanks for the great content
Thank you. I appreciate that feedback, Yvonne! xo
Busbee Style I would love the yellow jacket, anything close to this tht I could buy
It's great
I like the before and after. The difference is amazing!
Thank you, Vicki! xo
I watched this when it came out, but I came back for another viewing because I found it really helpful! Thank you for giving us some options that we may already own, showing us before and afters so the differences really pop, etc. I'd love another like this!
I'm SO glad you found this helpful, Elizabeth! xo
Really great information and style, Erin. So helpful!
So glad it was helpful, Dawna! xo
I’m 75 years old but I find your assessments applicable to even me. Thank you.
I'm so glad, Patricia! I think my tips can be applicable to a wide range of ages. xo
This was very helpful. I'm 53 and realizing more and more how much impact clothes have on how I feel about the way I look. Fashion has never been my strong point so these tips are very welcome. Now I need to go try on all my old jeans and go find a three way mirror pronto! 😂 Thank you Erin you are good at what you do 💗
I'm so glad this was helpful, Denise! xo
So true! ♥️😉
Hi! Just found your video and really like it! I have the hardest way choosing what suits and you've given me some great tips! I'd like to see a part 2 and I will see your other videos.
Keep posting content like this: it's not only about clothing or fashion but it's mainly about self esteem and mental health!
Love from Portugal, Carla
I appreciate your Time Machine concept. That’s a big help! Ty!
I would like to see how you would dress a chubby woman.The clothes you just recommended are for skinny women.😊
And for those of us over 50, heels above 2 " not so much.
Cheeky Czech yes, skinny and tall
@@adugan1017 I do all that and I'm not skinny.
I'm with you at chubby
Cheeky Czech true! Anybody can dress a “clothes hangar”.
Looking sexier doesn't always mean you look younger. If you're too old, sometimes sexy looks tacky. It's also about personal style , too. I actually preferred 2 of the before looks...but my style is more bohemian so I like boxy, I like tunics, I like less structure. But I think you did a great job. Some of the before looks could've looked really nice with different shoes and the right accessories.
True!
I like the bohemian look as well... I feel more comfortable.... I don't care what others think of me at 60 .. Actually I never cared. I always dressed so different than the average
yep the shoes made a big difference!
I agree with you
Yes the very first dress I immediately thought a belt and heels or more strappy sandals ( almost like she did in option 2) and finer necklace would have immediately made it look better
3min in and I had to subscribe! Great advice, clear communication and a pleasant voice. It's like winning the YT lottery!
I love looking Classic\ Chic\ Current and Artsy. I wanted to find slimming dresses. I'm definitely going to focus on modern small prints vs larger. Thank you 💕
Love this clothing styling help. Keep putting the before and after looks together please.
I love these ‘Wear This Not That’ videos!
Thank you, Vera! xo
Yes part 2
Do a part two! These where good tips and now I'm wondering what else I may be doing wrong ;)
I agree, Naturally Simple. I would love an ongoing series of Time Machine.
Will do! Thank you! xo
@@BusbeeStyle Great! I can't wait for more tips.
Agree!!
Excellent and helpful video! Would love to see more like this!
I'm so glad I found your channel!! Im a 44 year old mom/grandmother who still feels 25. Dressing cute but age appropriate can be a struggle. These tips are awesome!! Just subscribed!!❤
I'm SO glad that you found my channel...I hope you will find my content helpful! xo
I just found you on UA-cam yesterday and I’ve already watched four of your videos. After watching this one I went to my closet and pulled out three tops and a sweater to get rid of. Thanks for the great tips and insights!
That is awesome! So glad you are enjoying my content. Welcome! xo
I'm headed towards my closet right now!
Loved it. Do more!! And then maybe do a "dress too young" version. I have made that mistake too.
Thank you, Eria! xo
Yes, and honestly as a woman in her early 50's I have as much trouble wondering whether it seems like I'm trying to dress too young as with dressing too old. It's tough to find that just-right balance. (Same goes for hairstyle.)
@@roseschulze1647 YES!!! You can find articles everywhere for how to, and not to, dress in your 20's, 30's, 40's and even 60's but you hit your 50's and you're completely on your own! (40's too, but still more common than 50's!) And the conflicting info/feedback I get from people! I, personally, look better in a bikini than a one piece (not just my opinion! My oh so embarrass-able 20 something daughter and son-in-law, and conservative hubby unanimously agree), but then I wear an almost fingertip length skort and have a friend comment about my @ss hanging out! I'm 5'4" and have a 36" inseam, EVERYTHING looks short on me! I'm at a completely loss now, when it comes to dressing "appropriately" for my age. I'm also not ready to give up my waist length hair, no matter what people think! I do wear it up in a ponytail most of the time for work, and like the versatility. When it starts looking shabby, I'll cut it... Until then, if it's not dragging my face down, and looks polished and healthy, why is it a problem?
*Just posted and re-read that. I really don't know how else to word it, and I'm really not doing the "oh poor me" braggy thing. My hair is colored regularly, I'm average weight and never had a great build. I'm just really, really short waisted and have disproportionately long legs for my height. Buying jeans/pants in a 5/6, that aren't several inches too short is just ridiculous, especially on a budget!
I’m always dressing too young... oops!
@@pinkfabulous248 But is it REALLY too young, or just how you look best, and happens to break someone else's "rules"? I know at 53 I'm not "supposed" to wear a bikini in public, but if you look, as my family so elequently put it, "... Like 5 pounds of hamburger stuffed into a sandwich baggie..." The rules go out the window! LOL!
From the bottom of my heart ❤ thank you so much for being empathic, honest, and straightforward. You my dear, are a true gem. Your audience needs to realize that some tips may not suit them. I'm curvy, but I'm not complaining. There are tons of great options here. ( Perimenopause 5'9 curvy... thick waist.. busty)
That is SO sweet of you, thank you so much! ~Erin xo
Great to see the comparisons and updating of clothing pieces. Really makes a difference!
I'm SO glad that you found this helpful! xo
Amazing information thank you I needed to know all of this !!!! ❤
Your body shape looks good in anything. Do something for us chunkier and shorter old ladies. Not much out there for us 😕
Very thorough and easy to accomplish but I agree with you. With her body type even the old" looks don't look all that bad.
That is exactly what I thought when I watched the video I love d it and it was fun to watch but as a size 12 I really feel like some things just don't cross over.
Shelly Cupp , agree 100%
There are affordable clothes to make anyone look their best. This woman has excellent advice. Well fitting clothes ALWAYS make one look better.
Trying to be positive but it’s sadly true sigh
This was so helpful! I am going to go get rid of all the scarf sweaters. I tend to think that a trend will help me look younger but it usually doesn’t. Please help us get rid of more things that are “out of style”. Cold shoulder sweaters - in or out?
One shoulder ? Off the shoulder ? Thanks so much! I love watching your videos.
Lisa Noah cold shoulders are a NO! Lol I never understood that trend and never had one
I'm so glad, Lisa! I love one shoulder and off the shoulder tops. As for cold shoulders, while they are on their way out they can be incredibly flattering on some women so if you feel great in them keep them...otherwise I'd donate. xo
They are out for now. I'm sure they will come back in 15 years, maybe.
I'm all for getting rid of outdated clothing or wearing a "no" only inside the house or for yardwork. I'd be interested in ways to make some no pieces yes pieces. Like changing the cropped jean into shorts (tho that wouldn't help "diaper butt" lol), or finding a reasonably priced way to make the handkerchief sweater or the too large of a print dress (shorten it and wear a cropped sweater on top maybe) into yeses? Definitely interested in more of these! Great tips!
I have one knit cold-shoulder dress. I wear it by the pool because it shows off my memorial tattoo *and* covers the rest of my arm.
Great tips! I can't wait to see more of your videos. I need to downsize my closet; your tips and comments will really help. Thank you.
SO glad to hear you enjoyed this one and found it helpful! Narrowing down your wardrobe, while ensuring that you have great basics, will be so freeing to you! Wishing you well! xo
Love the different options!😊
omg that first dress looks exactly like the kitchen curtains I just bought yesterday no lie
I’m sure it looks better as curtains rather than a dress 🤔
LOL! "La Kitchen Dress!"
If they are like the flower dress, they will make your kitchen look older....
Too funny, Toni! xo
Lol...made me laugh
You hit the nail on the head with that last outfit! I see so many women over 50 wearing the bright, patterned outfit with the waterfall cardigan and chunky necklace..
Great video!! Love the time machine:) super fun
I'm SO glad you loved this one! xo
LOVE IT!!
Great tips!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching, Dori! xo
I love your channel so much! I am 46 and pursuing my first bachelor’s degree. After spending 25 years as a stay at home mom I sincerely needed your help to rediscover my style. I’ve bought your ebook, signed up for emails, binge-watched your videos, and purchased most of the fall wardrobe basics on your list. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me confidence for my first day back to school!😘🤗❤️
Love these types of videos! I’m almost 63 and it’s a battle for me everyday to try and not look frumpy!
I'm so glad this was helpful, Anita! xo
Yea the time machine before and after pictures are fun and so so helpful !! Thank you !!
Extremely cool looks !!!! Thanks for the amazing modern tips !!!!!
You're SO welcome, Johanne! xo
Morning Erin! Love that first dress with the small print ( I’d love to look like that everyday!) and the 2 white outfits. Great visual explanations! One of your best videos! And yes when you find a comfortable stylish “unicorn” shoe, buy in different colors ! I recently did that and when I wear them , I am so happy I have 3 pairs! 💐🥰😘
Thank you! That's what you have to do when you find something great! xo
Oh my gosh, Erin! I am definitely a frumpy dresser! I'm 63 years old, and I really appreciate this eye-opening video! I'm going to try to get out of my "old lady" style and try to incorporate some more stylish and youthful clothing! This video was so helpful!
Great, thanks for the tips Erin!
YES! YES! YES! Please do a part 2, this was so helpful! I am going to look at my closet with more discernment! I'm 38 and am already feeling a bit uncertain if something is "age appropriate" or "too young" or "too old." This was great and the time machine was hilarious and make it a super fun video. Thank you Erin! :)
I'm so glad that you found this helpful! xo
I’m only 20, but I’m watching this anyway because I absolutely love the outfits you pick! This is not only good advice for looking younger, but also good advice for choosing clothes that are more flattering!
That's awesome because at 20 this input will make you look classy and sophisticated while still "casual" 🤩
TravelPhotoWriter you are so right!!
Loved your time machine video. Appreciated how you addressed the problem areas for different people and most of all what can be done to fix it.
Very enjoyable and informative, keep it coming!😊
You are the queen of instructional entertaining videos on style, Erin! I loved this format, as it shows us frumpy versus hip. I got quite a charge out of seeing you in those pre time machine looks. It just shows us so clearly how clothing and accessories are huge in looking younger. Hate to say it but you looked frumpy and older, especially in the turquoise number! More of these videos please.
Oh my! Time to go through my clothes and get rid of the things that are aging me! Love this type of format! Thanks!
You are so welcome, Cathy! I'm so glad that it was helpful! xo
Thank you so much. I absolutely love your ideas and the before and after!❤️Thank you
Great examples! Thanks so much for these helpful tips! 😊
This time machine was so much fun! Yes to Part 2 👍🏻
Thank you, Sheri! xo
Having worked in a clothing store geared to women over 40, these shops have many options including biker style jackets and sweaters. A shop that is “over 40 means all the way to “OVER 91”. There are women who have small breasts, zero buttocks and a thick waist that need clothes, as well as women with osteoporosis or in wheelchairs, and I helped them find outfits. I strongly suggest shopping in more then one store and I always went to places like Forever 21 to see if they had anything to wear with the “over 40” outfits. I have told women that had figures like yours that they might get a better fit at a different store, at least for some things. I was proud to work at that store and help women in their late 60’s and 70’s get ready for their cruise 🚢! Not all women unplug from living on their 65th birthday. Many have feet 🦶 that need lots of love from working hard for decades. So those frumpy shoes at least beat the old lady shoes of the 60’s and 70’s. I am one of those people who unfortunately need lots of foot support from many years in restaurants and in retail, and I am not yet 60. So, what I am saying is these stores are meant for either very thick waisted women who are younger then 55 over 55 and older. Seniors have money and seniors need clothes.
I don’t think I know what stores are for women over 40. Ideas?
@@brandywine4000 Chico's and Talbot's, for 2 examples.
Sorry to disagree, but SOOooo many seniors DON'T have money! That's why I appreciate your mention of shopping your own closet AND shopping at thrift stores! I used to immediately dismiss that idea due to INCORRECT, PRECONCEIVED opinions about "previously worn" clothes, etc. I now go "Thrifting" with my closest friend, & 95% of what I buy still have the original dept. store &/or designer's tags all over them & have CLEARLY never been worn before. I may not advertise it, but my husband & family have admitted what great buys I've made on ALL types of items. Judge not...
Brilliant video, definitely thought provoking and will be adjusting mt wardrobe 🙌🏼
So glad this was helpful, Penny! xo
Love this video! Love the time warp! Thank you
I love the before and after pictures! I was almost embarrassed to see the before pictures because it felt like you were going through my closet. The B&A photos showed me what others see.
This is one of the most helpful videos I’ve seen in a long time. The before and after really help cement what we’re doing wrong and what a HUGE difference doing it right can make! I’m really shocked at not only the difference in the way your body looks but the afters really make u look 20 years younger. Wow!
Great info! So glad I found you!
I'm so glad you're here, Micky! Thank you for your support. xo
Absolutely loved it all! ❤️
I'm sitting here watching while wearing a large-print floral dress... now I'm going back to my closet and changing! The best advice. Thank you again, Erin!
put on a solid color jacket that fits you very flatteringly to tone down the large print , keep it buttoned
I definitely loved this video. I'm 65 and have a tummy and I'm 5'4. So I'm tempted to with the handkerchief hem, the bold top, etc. I'm struggling with what to wear for my body. These tips gave me lots of pointers on what to do. You really are a great teacher on style. Love you, Erin.
Grear video! Many good tips! Love it. The time machine converter was awesome!
Glad you liked it! xo
Great tips. Thank you!!⭐️💕
Yes, part 2 please? I’m going through my closet right now. I love the way you present your content. It’s fun and informative and makes us older women think before we dress our bodies. Love you Erin 💕
Thank you, Sandra! So glad this was helpful! xo
Absolutely love this informative, encouraging video. Great work Erin. Please make more
Such a great video. Learned a lot. Keep them coming. Thank you.
You have just described everything I do wrong, my husband keeps asking me to ditch the long flowing cardigans and big prints coz he said they made me look frumpy, but I thought he was being unreasonable until this video, what an eye opener, time to brighten and lighten up 👍😀 thank you 😊
Well I am so glad to hear you've found these tips helpful, Kathryn! Now you can have a plan for your next shopping trip! Thanks for watching. xo
Yes, more time machine videos. I love the format. You show the mistake and then the solution! Really, really helpful to see it with your own eyes. Maybe a 'Time Machine' series could be an option for you and your team? This format really suits you.
Thank you, Susan! I love that feedback! xo
You had me laughing out loud SO many times in this video...your commentary and especially your funny, carefree wiggles in the less desirable fashions were hilarious!!
Thank you, Lisa! Glad you enjoyed. xo
I loved it too.
Yessss very helpful! Thank you very much!
Love this video!!! Great info and love the Time Machine!
Glad you enjoyed it, Debbie! xo
My 21 year old daughter is a good judge of my style. She is honest and states if something looks too old or frumpy. And you know when something is wrong. I think some women are unhappy with their bodies and just want to hide and become invisible, especially after 45 or so.
Valerie Paul this is a shame but true.
Valerie, YES! My 20's son will tell me when I look what we call "The M Word"... Matronly 😂 And I really appreciate it!
Yes! This is my problem. I just want to hide. Erin said to highlight the positives but I honestly don’t have any!!! I should have my daughter go shopping with me. That should be my reward for toning up and losing weight which I’ve already started!
But I should say in the meantime that I should be trying to dress as well as possible for how I look now. Hard to do with extra weight though.
Great advice.I have learned these tips the hard way through 73 years of living.Thanks for the validation !
Glad it was helpful, Robin! xo
Love this video, you nailed it !
I loved everything about this video! More please!!
Girrrl, you need to do a show for us large women over 40...
Yes! Please help us women in our 50s in size 2X. My 40 year class reunion is coming (Oct 4), and I've seen photos of some of my classmates on FB. They all look so good, but I've gained weight. I'm tempted to stay home.
Hope you're not staying home & found an outfit that doesn't hide your body despite size 2X! Show your curves & make sure your waist line is visible; that's always more flattering. @@whitelighttrainwreck3021
My friend found some great plus size recommendations from the gal at Beauticurve. She's so beautiful and I love how she loves her curves. 💕
Forgive me I don't know if that's a bad thing to recommend another UA-camr? 😬
Super helpful info! I'm definitely making some mistakes. 😬
Thank you Isha
I'm 66 and have fallen into the frumpy, expected fashions for my age. I so needed this video and have subscribed to get more. I'm youthful in mind and body. Now need to know how to dress for that. Your 'after' styles are totally me and I won't look like mutton dressed as lamb lol. I'm going to sort my wardrobe now to chuck the old and keep the young coordinates etc, just based on the styles in this video alone. They are already in my wardrobe but hidden by all the 'applicable to age' stuff. Thank you. Your just what I need. Blessings to you.
Could you also do a video on colour coordination. I'm spring autumn pallet. Love bright colours and bought cos loved. So wrong! So many times and colours swamp and wear me. 😊
@Linda Hoskins Good for you girlfriend! You will be youthful forever as long as you keep on "trying". I'm over 50 & have many girlfriends 15-20 years older than myself. The ones that at least TRY, always look more youthful than the ones that just don't care anymore. I re evaluate my closet about every 4-5 years. That way I tend to keep "classics" but don't hold on to any "trendy" items that will make us look out dated. I know exactly what you mean about "age appropriate"; wearing something only because it is "expected at your age". I like to think that I wear classic clothing for women that are 10-15 years younger than me. No "Hello Kitty", trendy teenager items, "daisy duke" short shorts or skirts, but that doesn't mean over 50's can't wear something a 40-45 yr old would wear!!
Wonderful work! Thank you ) I like the “time machine!”
Glad you like it! Thank you! xo
You’re amazing! Love your videos! ❤️
Yes please, more like this. We 50+ need help!!!
Thank you for the feedback, Kathleen! xo
Hi Erin! This was a great video thank you 🙏 I'm 39 but preparing now for the new decade ahead! Have been dreading it but with your tips I think I'll be able to achieve looking younger and feeling good. The large print tip gosh it's so obvious now that you say it/show it. I should have realised. Always thought ''if I lose weight it'll look better''. All the other tips were gold too 😀
Love this video!! Thank you!! Making corrections tonight ❤️
So glad you found this helpful, Andrea! You got this! xo
I love that blazers are in again. They’re so absolutely classy and sophisticated.
Me too...they are my favorite items in my wardrobe! xo
Thank you, Erin! As always, you've helped us all. You're, BY FAR, my favorite fashion blogger on UA-cam! Enjoy your week :)
Wow, thank you, Missy! You are so sweet! xo
