I just turned 46 and feel more free about my style than ever before! There's really something to this middle-aged thing = caring less about others' opinions because I care about myself, more. Thanks to your helpful tips, my closet is becoming my happy place, again.💜
My favorite rule is the style uniform. For years I was kind of embarrassed because I always wanted to wear my moto jackets and jeans with cute knits and booties. I felt like I wasn’t being creative enough but once I learned about the concept of the uniform, I decided to embrace it instead. I have several moto jackets and I absolutely love them and it’s become a signature look which I adore.
Yes! I love wearing a moto jacket with a long feminine skirt (because jeans are not my friend). That's my uniform. The moto jacket keeps the skirt from looking to old church lady-ish (not that there's anything wrong with that if that's your thing).
Erin, the most important tip you said was "you do you!" It's about feeling confident in who we are as women...no matter our age. Everything you mentioned was excellent and I always learn something new from your videos. Thanks again!!
Great Vlog Erin! I’m in my 40’s now & luckily for me, my Mother taught me all of those rules as I was growing up, watching her as she went through her 40’s, 50’s and 60’s -and now she is 75 and I’m so glad I have her to inspire me!
Glad to hear from a fashion person that if I can rock it go for it even if I am old. Being old doesn't necessarily equate that one doesn't have a nice body. Even at 70 my body looks very good yet I do work at it. I've always liked my legs so occasionally I do like to show them off.
Go girl! I don't think we need to dress a certain way because of our age. I do think we should probably try to show a little less skin but that's probably true for younger women too.
Great topic. Just hit 60 and I’m caught in this not knowing. Always like classic and usually throw in a curve as you mentioned but still need to own it.
I'm all about the steamer and hate the iron as well... I use it multiple times a day. I actually am a fan of the full size version (Rowenta Compact Valet is the best). I leave it in my walk-in closet, turn it on to heat up while I start getting ready and use it to steam everything from t-shirts and sweaters to fancier items. To me, it has been a game changer!!
Thank you so much, Andrea! Knowing your measurements will not only save you time and money, but will ensure that the pieces you are considering will fit and flatter your body. I'm so glad you find my content helpful! xo
I am 30 and I have learned so much from Erin. I am lost honestly with my style identity but watching Erin’s videos, learning my true body shape and measurements have been so helpful along with learning how to dress my shape. Truly eye opening. Also I’m sure I’m not the only one who would love to have Erin come and just totally redo their entire wardrobe!!! Until then though thank you so much for all that you do Erin!!!
I have that same steamer and it’s great. I had a childhood friend who taught me about style many years ago. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have been aware and learned to develop my own style. Even with that, aging really plays a number on self esteem . I LOVE that you are a resource for so many women. To build them up and help them feel more confident in this difficult age transition ❤️🙌
Hello Erin! Great rules to have in our toolkit. I just turned 41 and I think my style has never been better, thanks to videos like this. I wish I’d had this channel when I was in my 20s and 30s.
Erin, regarding your topic of taking care of your clothes, once my best white shirt caught a catsup splash from across the table. I became very good at learning how to get stains out of my better clothes. I bet we would love a video on this! Your styling advice is always helpful as you have the experience to guide us in the right direction. Thanks for all you do!
I don't have a video specifically about stains, but I do have one on how I take care of my clothing. I'll link it here for you: ua-cam.com/video/xI1d2xVcj6Q/v-deo.html
So glad I found you! I've always had a good idea of what to wear (know thyself - long wasted, short arms and legs), but since turning 50, it has been a struggle to figure out my new reality - in career, in health and fitness and ... in style choices. Your videos are helpful. Thank you!
This is my first UA-cam comment ever (I know, an introvert). Every single thing you said made so much sense :) Thank you for helping out the confused ones!
Summer 'Uniform' is definitely a fitted shift dress! TK/ TJ always has lots of them. Winter 'uniform' generally a tight, short skirt, tights, boots or booties and a thick sweater x
Hi Erin...You just keep putting out great videos. I have learned sooo much from this one and others . I had to go to an all important "event" with my husband. A lady came up to me after she first passed right by me at first.. She did not recognize me. I think I followed the how not to look frumpy or how not to look ten years older. I wore a similar midi black dress ( you showed) with a small pattern and a belt, rather than the flowered oversized dress in your video , that was a dont. I wore my hair in a loose high top bun . I felt confident when I was in front of many people talking. It was a win that day. Love that u work so hard for us. xoxo Rita 💖
For the first time in my life, I feel great about myself. I am 48 years old and started working out. I can't believe the weight I'm losing and how much stronger I'm getting working out. I started thinking of me for the first time in a long time. Thank you for your help on how to dress more appropriately.
I am on horrible medication iv gone from uk 10 to a uk16 in 8months i have never been so big. Thank you for your help even though you are tiny, good fashion tips helps us all xx
Love the tips!! I actually think they work for all ages! I grow weary of seeing teens crammed into ill-fitting clothes. One other rule I use, I pick shorter sleeves (3/4) or crop pants, not both.
I love having the knowledge to truly make great decisions regarding my wardrobe. Great tips on whites! Never realized what a difference not drying clothes can make. I'm having so much fun thanks to you!
This was such a fabulous video! I am 48 and I never put my clothes in the drier. They are all hung dry. So amazing how long they last, and I wash them in cold!
Thank you Erin! One positive thing about being over 40 is confidence and not caring what others might think. Such a relief. Thank you for amazing tips!
I think of my wardrobe as an investment so few trends that will be hitting the donation bag in a year make it into my closet . New cuts or flattering colours of the classics are sometimes worth buying . As I didn’t have a fashionable mother, it took me some years to learn this on my own. These info videos help many I’m sure .
I’m 38 and want you to know that I really love your tips and tricks for older women, some of them I already apply on my day to day lifestyle and for a lot more I’ve started to make notes 📝 ☺️ but overall you have very good taste and advice that anyone can take or consider 💕 thank you!
Yes! I love the style uniform, I just found mine recently, its a velvet or corduroy blazer with turtleneck and a midi skirt. I wear the combination almost everyday and just cycle the through all my items that are in the colors I know I like. Even more basic than that I have a uniform concept that is white or light top, black or dark bottoms, black shoes and muted colored jacket, that is my jam and never fails me.
I haven't touched an iron in ages! A good day, long ago, I told myself "No more ironing for me!" and I have sticked to it since today. Except for one or maybe two really fine pieces in 20 years or so. We don't have steamers here in Cuba, though. "What about wrinkles?", you might ask. What are those?
I had a portable steamer I just loved but my daughter absconded with it to NYC....so I treated myself to the full size but I don't love the bulkiness of it. I'll be getting myself another portable version! I cannot thank you enough for these videos. I don't want to become invisible but I do want to always look classy!
I know this is two years old but I just found you now. Man I needed this. Thank you so much. I’m 45 and wanting to learn how to style myself. Ready to invest.
Thank you so much!! This was very helpful!!! I find that what used to work for me doesn’t really work as well anymore and I guess our looks continue to evolve and part of it is accepting it and embracing changes with open arms! 😃😃😃💜💜💜🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks to your channel I have figured out I have an hourglass figure with a tummy. I always knew I had a short torso but you're the first person I've found that talks about it... Thank you for all the help! My biggest struggle currently is a style uniform. I have such an eclectic style that it's been super hard to nail a uniform down.
Erin! How did your hair grow so fast!! And you look younger than ever!! I've been watching you for I think almost 2 years, and you just keep getting better and better! Thank you for all of your videos and fashion tips, you have such great style!! I'm over 60, this video is for me! I have used your tips, and ALWAYS get compliments on "my" style when I do - Thank you!
Never thought about calling my style a "uniform". Mine is similar. Jeans, graphics tee and blouse, jacket and flats, boots or heels depending on if i have meetings or not. Oh, and a hat and scarf now that fall is around the corner! It's my favorite season.
I love these practical rules. They all resonate with me and make complete sense. I have lost all sensebof fashion after 40 and gaining some weight. Also. Thought my shape was a certain shape, but in reality i nve had a clue and if i did it is completely diff now.
💯 absolutely ❤️ the "Uniform" advice!!! I have a very musically artistically talented college man son and a 15 yo honor band, dancer, cheerleader, socially active teen so I'm always scrambling - rushing to get someplace with them& I developed a crutch of rotating the same 4 outfits (bc 🚿 hair &💄) trying not 2b late getting out the door---. This whole vid is soooo informative and helpful!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 on the Uniform Advice especially!
This is the second Video mentioning Peplum- who else had to look it up? The funny thing is that in the description it says “not only is it a fun fashion word to say but it’s also fun to try and use it in a sentence. Well our Erin did👍
Hi Erin, I hope you get t see this : you introduced me to Veronica Beard, I didn’t know about this designer before you. So yesterday online I ordered 3 blazers from her line, and they were on sale at Bergdorf in NY where I live. I have great jeans, great t shirts and blouses but no jackets to pull it all together, and make me look elevated! Thank you for teaching me about this, it’s going to change me!♥️
100% on the iron! I don’t touch it anymore. I did back in the 80’s but those days are over. I agree on how you wash your clothes. I do the same. Great video Erin! ❤️
Another great and very helpful video Erin! I especially like the last tip, taking care of your clothes (and your shoes)! My Mom and I have both been able to pass on some beautiful vintage pieces to my daughter and she’s thrilled to wear them! Imagine her getting compliments on an outfit and being able to say, it’s from my grandma, or my Mom! And once I retired I was able to donate lots of work appropriate clothing still in great condition to Dress for Success and give them another life in another woman’s wardrobe. It’s so worth it! Thanks!
Thank you for your videos. I work with all 20,30 somethings and I am the oldest one in the building, I'm 55. Your channel has helped me look and feel better! THANK YOU❤❤
Great video, Erin! And I like your application of the Pareto Principle, a.k.a. "the 80/20 rule", to fashion. Because of course it would apply to fashion as much as it applies to so many things in life. And, also for the reminder about the importance of a "style uniform"; mine varies depending upon the season, of course, but thanks to channels like yours, I've taken it away from the dreadful "capris and 3/4-length t-shirt" middle-age frumpy look I was most decidedly NOT rocking a few years ago, and to skinny jeans, boots of all styles, and lots of sweaters (I knit, and love knitting both cardigans and pullovers that are stylish, flattering and 100% unique), and back to wearing jewelry I love. I'm 54, and thanks to a healthy diet and regular gym/barbell work, I am happy that I can totally rock tank tops with no "bingo wings". That definitely expanded my wardrobe options. Sounds like Telluride (and possibly Durango where I live) is in for an abrupt change in the weather starting Tuesday, so it might be good to pull out a few winter items to have on the ready if there's snow.
same. I have been to an outdoor small wedding and other than that I have been home. I work from home so it's been pretty easy for me. Well that and all my kids are grown lol
Your videos are so helpful Erin! I am turning 50 in 10 days & I lost my mojo somewhere along the way but you are helping me find it again! I'm down 20 pounds with another 20 to go! I love how body positive you are! I will shop my closet today with your helpful tips & put some new outfits together. Any fashion suggestions for my birthday dinner at a nice restaurant? 😘❤️
I'm so glad my videos are helpful! Happy Birthday! Do you have a favorite outfit? One that makes you feel amazing and confident...that's the outfit to pick for your birthday. xo
I'm only 35... but I find a lot of useful tips in your vids. I recently left a very youthful fashion brand company where I had to wear their clothing even though it wasnt really my style. I was with them for over 10 years and are struggling to find "me" again even though I feel relieved that I have options.
kibbie body typing helped me a lot more than basing it off of shapes. It looks primarily at the bone structure then at how weight tends to gather on top of those bones.
I iron as well, if necessary. I hang things to dry a lot so that cuts down on it, but I iron my husband's pants every night. He needs to look professional and I grew up watching my mom do that for my dad so I enjoy it, it makes me remember them ❤ don't get me wrong, my husband knows how to iron and he will do it if I don't have time, but for the most part I watch shows or UA-cam while I do it and it's not a problem for me. Now dishes...NO THANKS!
Looking fly as ever and always right on the mark Erin! Love your enthusiasm and graciousness! You present clear, concise information for your viewers and even though it should go unsaid...you always let women know that they ultimately have the power to choose what is best for them!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I just signed up for your newsletter and got the basics checklists - I started looking through them and I thought oh my gosh this is going to be a game changer - I feel like now I can get focused and really shop for things that I need - I love this thank you so much!!!!
Love the style uniform ! That makes life so easy . For me it's the outfit combinations that I always reach for . It just happens to be the same as yours ! Fashion trends can so get in the way of what " we" truly like . I have wasted money, time and energy feeling like I need to " try" them . My new favorite way to update the styling of an outfit is by updating my footwear with a current trend that I like , if and only if I like it .
Wonderful tips! I feel like I have been lost too on knowing what to wear at 52. I feel like some things that I wear make me look frumpy and need to elevate my wardrobe. I have always felt comfortable with solids and small prints. Not into blazers, but have a hard time finding the right cardigan to wear.
Thank you! Everyone has their own style uniform, for me it's blazers, but it may be something else entirely for you. This video may help if you are struggling to find yours...ua-cam.com/video/GUYWq7CA_eI/v-deo.html
I just turned 45 this summer, and suddenly I LOVE using colors - I'm wearing pink, never thought that would happen in my life. Thanks for your great videos Erin, subscriber from Denmark 🇩🇰❤️
Thanks Erin! I’m fifty-five and have wasted too much of my life staring at my clothes. Thanks to your videos, I’m much more confident in my fashion decisions. Another thing that helps me is to take photos of me in my favorite outfits to catalog in a wardrobe album. I can scroll through my album to pick a favorite outfit. Because, as I’m sure you know, with age comes memory loss.
I just found you about a month ago. I'm loving all the tips even though my budget will always be on the super low end. So happy to report to you, whether you see this comment or not, but in one of your videos, you said all women should own something in animal print. I just bought my first pair of animal boot print. It makes me feel sooo much more elevated wearing them. Thank you!
You have such a great talent and I have to say you've helped me look much more modern...my friends are saying "you look so good" basically I'm not covering up so much anymore and following your guidlines is the difference...literally nothing else has changed 😳🤔😁🌻
I am so thankful I found your channel! I am 51 years old and have forgotten how to even style myself. It seems like I lost myself raising the kids and always went for the classic hoodie and pair of jeans. Now I am a single woman who has no idea what to wear for dates or for my new job.. which is business wear.
You are in the right place! Hopefully my videos will help you find your personal style again and get you ready to rock it! Here are two videos with some date night looks that may help inspire you: ua-cam.com/video/dIUBXDQs2BM/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/ozoe-gAIxk4/v-deo.html
Great blogg! - Wow I can't believe you're 46. And I must say you have great style. I'll be 50 this week and I just found you're channel. I will be watching more of your bloggs - thanks soo much!
I love your idea of finding a style uniform, and I was strangely comforted by the fact that I could do that every day with variations. :) I love clothes, and I tend to chose things from my closet in the morning dependant upon my mood, or what grabs my attention that morning. Some mornings, though, there isn't that time to peruse the closet! This tip will definitely help getting ready in a hurry!!!
I HATE ironing and refuse to do it under any circumstances. Steamers are an amazing alternative. Thank you so much for another informative and affirming segment, Erin. Would you consider doing one on a jewelry capsule? I want to invest in some of the basics suggested in your checklist but have no clue where to start. I don’t want to waste money on poor quality materials.
Awesome tips once again! I have shared your channel with friends who compliment me on my style. My tip is to have a special laundry basket for those things you want to wash carefully. My husband has shrunk some of my better things in his desire to "get the laundry done".
I love that top on you. The color is perfect for your hair and complexion. The deep V neckline looks amazing on you. As a super-busty lady, if I wore that, I would look trashy. It drapes nicely over your chest. I have to say yours are the only videos I watch because your looks are classy. Lots of other content is presented by people whose style I don’t like and I can’t get past that when I think “ who is she to talk?”
ERin, you hit it out of the ballpark again! I sooo love your videos. You have creds, are articulate, likeable and project an aura of confidence and expertise! Thanks for all you do for us. You're amazing and I can't wait to see what's next for the Busbee purse. Hugs from the very hot Valley of the Sun (Phoenix). Besos y Abrazos, Cindy
As always great advice. I really appreciate your help in navigating style over 40. I definitely got confused for a few years after I turned 40 but I'm slowly getting my confidence back. Thank you Erin xx
I love your videos Erin and have learned how to style myself better from watching every week and look forward to your content. And I'm a shape within a shape so thank you for clarifying. And I never think rules - I just take what applies and appeals to me since I know all the women who watch need different things.And I love the "you do you" philosophy! I need to up the quality of the basics as I get more attracted to the trends. The basics aren't boring - they're the backbone and I need to remember this premise! I hope the consensus is to stay at 2 videos a week. I know it takes ALOT of time but I so look forward to your content. Much love and thanks for all you do for the women of the world!
You're SO welcome! My videos from the past month or so all focus on summer fashion. I'll link one fo my current ones here: ua-cam.com/video/aAjThCG1E_o/v-deo.html
Hai pienamente ragione!!!! La cura dei capi è fondamentalmente. Io lavo a mano, con il giusto detersivo, tutti i capi da sera e poi li stendo all'aria con la gruccia. Sono sempre perfetti.
Thank you for great tips, as always! Your rules are inspiring and remembering that we all have doubts and are lost sometimes puts things in right perspective. I have two doughters ages 9 and 10 and when they see me watch your new video they watch as well😀 and they always say you cannot be more than 20 years old!
Great video, rules that make alot of sense and are easy to apply to your wardrobe. Maybe you could do a more complete guide for the basic body types, my body has changed with the menopause and I'm struggling with this new shape. Thank you to you and your team with such great content every week 💕💕💕
Thank you so much, Maria! The first step is to determine your current shape. I show you how in this video: ua-cam.com/video/DNDrVVoHtAw/v-deo.html . Once you know your shape you can watch the video that is specifically for your shape for more specific recommendations. xo
I just turned 46 and feel more free about my style than ever before! There's really something to this middle-aged thing = caring less about others' opinions because I care about myself, more. Thanks to your helpful tips, my closet is becoming my happy place, again.💜
You are my hero miss Lady! Love your vibe n I share your "caring less" sentiments exactly 💯 👌
My favorite rule is the style uniform. For years I was kind of embarrassed because I always wanted to wear my moto jackets and jeans with cute knits and booties. I felt like I wasn’t being creative enough but once I learned about the concept of the uniform, I decided to embrace it instead. I have several moto jackets and I absolutely love them and it’s become a signature look which I adore.
There is nothing wrong with that, Bonnie! Just mix and match your favorite pieces for your go-to look....especially when you are in a rush! xo
Yes! I love wearing a moto jacket with a long feminine skirt (because jeans are not my friend). That's my uniform. The moto jacket keeps the skirt from looking to old church lady-ish (not that there's anything wrong with that if that's your thing).
I feel so blessed I’ve found your channel Erin. You’re simply the best! Thank you for what you do for us ladies over 40. ❤️
Thank you so much, Gaby! I truly appreciate your kind words! xo
Erin, the most important tip you said was "you do you!" It's about feeling confident in who we are as women...no matter our age. Everything you mentioned was excellent and I always learn something new from your videos. Thanks again!!
So true, Nancy! Thank you! xo
Great Vlog Erin!
I’m in my 40’s now & luckily for me, my Mother taught me all of those rules as I was growing up, watching her as she went through her 40’s, 50’s and 60’s -and now she is 75 and I’m so glad I have her to inspire me!
Thank you, Kristey! That's amazing that your mom was such a good role model! xo
Glad to hear from a fashion person that if I can rock it go for it even if I am old. Being old doesn't necessarily equate that one doesn't have a nice body. Even at 70 my body looks very good yet I do work at it. I've always liked my legs so occasionally I do like to show them off.
I'm 43 and I still rock my Dr. Martens and leather jacket 🤣
Good for you, Anna!
I’m 54 and I do too!
Go girl! I don't think we need to dress a certain way because of our age. I do think we should probably try to show a little less skin but that's probably true for younger women too.
So glad you mentioned a body shape within a body shape!!
Great topic. Just hit 60 and I’m caught in this not knowing. Always like classic and usually throw in a curve as you mentioned but still need to own it.
Exactly, Teresa! You got it! xo
I didn't know the dryer yellows whites. Thanks!
Oooh, me neither!
I'm all about the steamer and hate the iron as well... I use it multiple times a day. I actually am a fan of the full size version (Rowenta Compact Valet is the best). I leave it in my walk-in closet, turn it on to heat up while I start getting ready and use it to steam everything from t-shirts and sweaters to fancier items. To me, it has been a game changer!!
You're the first UA-cam video that told me about body shapes and looking at the measurements of clothes you buy online. You're my favorite UA-camr!
Thank you so much, Andrea! Knowing your measurements will not only save you time and money, but will ensure that the pieces you are considering will fit and flatter your body. I'm so glad you find my content helpful! xo
I am 30 and I have learned so much from Erin. I am lost honestly with my style identity but watching Erin’s videos, learning my true body shape and measurements have been so helpful along with learning how to dress my shape. Truly eye opening. Also I’m sure I’m not the only one who would love to have Erin come and just totally redo their entire wardrobe!!! Until then though thank you so much for all that you do Erin!!!
Thank you so much, Sarah! I appreciate your message so much! xo
I have that same steamer and it’s great. I had a childhood friend who taught me about style many years ago. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have been aware and learned to develop my own style. Even with that, aging really plays a number on self esteem . I LOVE that you are a resource for so many women. To build them up and help them feel more confident in this difficult age transition ❤️🙌
Hello Erin! Great rules to have in our toolkit. I just turned 41 and I think my style has never been better, thanks to videos like this. I wish I’d had this channel when I was in my 20s and 30s.
Thank you, Laeah! I know...young people today have so much information at their fingertips that we didn't have. xo

I am on horrible medication iv gone from uk 10 to a uk16 in 8months i have never been so big. Thank you for your help even though you are tiny, good fashion tips helps us all xx
Glad I could help! xo
Love the tips!! I actually think they work for all ages! I grow weary of seeing teens crammed into ill-fitting clothes. One other rule I use, I pick shorter sleeves (3/4) or crop pants, not both.
Thank you, Julianne! Me too...Almost everyone looks better in clothing that actually fits. xo
I love having the knowledge to truly make great decisions regarding my wardrobe. Great tips on whites! Never realized what a difference not drying clothes can make. I'm having so much fun thanks to you!
I'm so glad, Tracy! Glad you find my videos so helpful! xo
Ya know Erin, some things shouldn't be done even before 40. ❣️
Thank you.
For sure! xo

I think this applies to both the young and clueless and the young and mom bod. I have been both. At the same time.
This was such a fabulous video! I am 48 and I never put my clothes in the drier. They are all hung dry. So amazing how long they last, and I wash them in cold!
Thank you! I totally agree! xo
Thank you Erin! One positive thing about being over 40 is confidence and not caring what others might think. Such a relief. Thank you for amazing tips!
So true, Ekaterina! xo
I think of my wardrobe as an investment so few trends that will be hitting the donation bag in a year make it into my closet .

haha I've never ironed anythg in my life and I have no plans to
My grandmorher never ironed to knock wrinkles out she would put the clothes she is going wear that day in the dryer on high heat worked like a charm 😊
I had a portable steamer I just loved but my daughter absconded with it to NYC....so I treated myself to the full size but I don't love the bulkiness of it. I'll be getting myself another portable version!
I cannot thank you enough for these videos. I don't want to become invisible but I do want to always look classy!
I know this is two years old but I just found you now. Man I needed this. Thank you so much. I’m 45 and wanting to learn how to style myself. Ready to invest.
Your warmness and gentless in talking about women fragile attitudes is so nice.
Great example to love ourselves ladies 🌹
Never forget 💞
Thank you
Thank you so much, Katia! xo
@@BusbeeStyle ☺️👋 FM 🇮🇹
Thank you so much!! This was very helpful!!! I find that what used to work for me doesn’t really work as well anymore and I guess our looks continue to evolve and part of it is accepting it and embracing changes with open arms! 😃😃😃💜💜💜🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
You're so welcome! xo
Thanks to your channel I have figured out I have an hourglass figure with a tummy. I always knew I had a short torso but you're the first person I've found that talks about it... Thank you for all the help! My biggest struggle currently is a style uniform. I have such an eclectic style that it's been super hard to nail a uniform down.
Erin! How did your hair grow so fast!! And you look younger than ever!! I've been watching you for I think almost 2 years, and you just keep getting better and better! Thank you for all of your videos and fashion tips, you have such great style!! I'm over 60, this video is for me! I have used your tips, and ALWAYS get compliments on "my" style when I do - Thank you!
Thank you so much! xo
Never thought about calling my style a "uniform". Mine is similar. Jeans, graphics tee and blouse, jacket and flats, boots or heels depending on if i have meetings or not. Oh, and a hat and scarf now that fall is around the corner! It's my favorite season.
I love these practical rules. They all resonate with me and make complete sense. I have lost all sensebof fashion after 40 and gaining some weight. Also. Thought my shape was a certain shape, but in reality i nve had a clue and if i did it is completely diff now.
Wonderful video Erin! Enjoy watching you ..
Thank you so much, Dominique! I truly appreciate that! xo
I am feeling lost clothing wise at 46, and this is helping me out so much. Thank you.
I'm so glad this is helpful, Jennifer! xo
💯 absolutely ❤️ the "Uniform" advice!!! I have a very musically artistically talented college man son and a 15 yo honor band, dancer, cheerleader, socially active teen so I'm always scrambling - rushing to get someplace with them& I developed a crutch of rotating the same 4 outfits (bc 🚿 hair &💄) trying not 2b late getting out the door---. This whole vid is soooo informative and helpful!! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 on the Uniform Advice especially!
Binge watching Erin! The more I've watched, the more I like you, and not just as a style guru. Thanks for bringing me back around.
You are SO sweet! Glad you are enjoying! xo
This is the second Video mentioning Peplum- who else had to look it up? The funny thing is that in the description it says “not only is it a fun fashion word to say but it’s also fun to try and use it in a sentence. Well our Erin did👍
Hi Erin, I hope you get t see this : you introduced me to Veronica Beard, I didn’t know about this designer before you. So yesterday online I ordered 3 blazers from her line, and they were on sale at Bergdorf in NY where I live. I have great jeans, great t shirts and blouses but no jackets to pull it all together, and make me look elevated! Thank you for teaching me about this, it’s going to change me!♥️
That's amazing...thank you for sharing, Adrienne! I think you will love them! xo
51 yrs and I love fashion . I usually wear whatever I want that makes me feel good inside and out🍀
100% on the iron! I don’t touch it anymore. I did back in the 80’s but those days are over. I agree on how you wash your clothes. I do the same. Great video Erin! ❤️
Thank you, Angie! xo
Another great and very helpful video Erin! I especially like the last tip, taking care of your clothes (and your shoes)! My Mom and I have both been able to pass on some beautiful vintage pieces to my daughter and she’s thrilled to wear them! Imagine her getting compliments on an outfit and being able to say, it’s from my grandma, or my Mom! And once I retired I was able to donate lots of work appropriate clothing still in great condition to Dress for Success and give them another life in another woman’s wardrobe. It’s so worth it! Thanks!
That's amazing, Marilyn! xo
I can feel the sincerity & heartfelt advice from you. Thank you for sharing to us your expertise. More power to you Ms. Erin!
That is SO sweet of you to say, Nathalie! Thank you! xo
Thank you for your videos. I work with all 20,30 somethings and I am the oldest one in the building, I'm 55.
Your channel has helped me look and feel better! THANK YOU❤❤
I'm so glad my videos are helpful! xo
Great video, Erin!
And I like your application of the Pareto Principle, a.k.a. "the 80/20 rule", to fashion. Because of course it would apply to fashion as much as it applies to so many things in life. And, also for the reminder about the importance of a "style uniform"; mine varies depending upon the season, of course, but thanks to channels like yours, I've taken it away from the dreadful "capris and 3/4-length t-shirt" middle-age frumpy look I was most decidedly NOT rocking a few years ago, and to skinny jeans, boots of all styles, and lots of sweaters (I knit, and love knitting both cardigans and pullovers that are stylish, flattering and 100% unique), and back to wearing jewelry I love. I'm 54, and thanks to a healthy diet and regular gym/barbell work, I am happy that I can totally rock tank tops with no "bingo wings". That definitely expanded my wardrobe options.
Sounds like Telluride (and possibly Durango where I live) is in for an abrupt change in the weather starting Tuesday, so it might be good to pull out a few winter items to have on the ready if there's snow.
I'm so glad you found this helpful, Sonya! I'm trying to hold on to summer as long as I can. I'm not ready for sweater weather just yet! xo
Where is everyone going? I haven’t been anywhere since March except the drs 🤷♀️.
same. I have been to an outdoor small wedding and other than that I have been home. I work from home so it's been pretty easy for me. Well that and all my kids are grown lol
Target. :-). I buy clothes at Target to wear when I go to... well, Target.
I’m an Assistant Principal who goes to work everyday.
Your videos are so helpful Erin! I am turning 50 in 10 days & I lost my mojo somewhere along the way but you are helping me find it again! I'm down 20 pounds with another 20 to go! I love how body positive you are! I will shop my closet today with your helpful tips & put some new outfits together. Any fashion suggestions for my birthday dinner at a nice restaurant? 😘❤️
I'm so glad my videos are helpful! Happy Birthday! Do you have a favorite outfit? One that makes you feel amazing and confident...that's the outfit to pick for your birthday. xo
I'm only 35... but I find a lot of useful tips in your vids. I recently left a very youthful fashion brand company where I had to wear their clothing even though it wasnt really my style. I was with them for over 10 years and are struggling to find "me" again even though I feel relieved that I have options.
Thanks for sharing! I'm SO glad that you find my videos helpful! xo
I found this video just in time! I'm now 51 &I'm planning to review my collection & get ready to make some necessary changes...😁
kibbie body typing helped me a lot more than basing it off of shapes. It looks primarily at the bone structure then at how weight tends to gather on top of those bones.
I'm in my twenties and I love and live by your videos ❤️ especially when I'm feeling defeated by my closet ...
That's awesome! Thank you for sharing this with me, Chantel! xo
I am an iron girl, " my daily dose of iron!"🤪 I'm 50 & love fashion❤ Thank you for all the great tips!
That's great, Pamela! Want to come over and help me out? I can't stand ironing! xo
It’s the worst! 😩
I iron as well, if necessary. I hang things to dry a lot so that cuts down on it, but I iron my husband's pants every night. He needs to look professional and I grew up watching my mom do that for my dad so I enjoy it, it makes me remember them ❤ don't get me wrong, my husband knows how to iron and he will do it if I don't have time, but for the most part I watch shows or UA-cam while I do it and it's not a problem for me. Now dishes...NO THANKS!
Looking fly as ever and always right on the mark Erin! Love your enthusiasm and graciousness! You present clear, concise information for your viewers and even though it should go unsaid...you always let women know that they ultimately have the power to choose what is best for them!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I just signed up for your newsletter and got the basics checklists - I started looking through them and I thought oh my gosh this is going to be a game changer - I feel like now I can get focused and really shop for things that I need - I love this thank you so much!!!!
Love the style uniform ! That makes life so easy .
For me it's the outfit combinations that I always reach for . It just happens to be the same as yours ! Fashion trends can so get in the way of what " we" truly like . I have wasted money, time and energy feeling like I need to " try" them . My new favorite way to update the styling of an outfit is by updating my footwear with a current trend that I like , if and only if I like it .
SO glad this was helpful, Gail! xo
Thank you! Have to watch this every now and then because I am forget these. You have outlined the tips beautifully!
You're so welcome! xo
Wonderful tips! I feel like I have been lost too on knowing what to wear at 52. I feel like some things that I wear make me look frumpy and need to elevate my wardrobe. I have always felt comfortable with solids and small prints. Not into blazers, but have a hard time finding the right cardigan to wear.
Thank you! Everyone has their own style uniform, for me it's blazers, but it may be something else entirely for you. This video may help if you are struggling to find yours...ua-cam.com/video/GUYWq7CA_eI/v-deo.html
I just turned 45 this summer, and suddenly I LOVE using colors - I'm wearing pink, never thought that would happen in my life. Thanks for your great videos Erin, subscriber from Denmark 🇩🇰❤️
Yay! Love that you are rocking pink! Go for it and have FUN! xo
While watching this video I see two of my favourite UA-camrs chatting @DominiqueSaches and Erin
Thanks Erin! I’m fifty-five and have wasted too much of my life staring at my clothes. Thanks to your videos, I’m much more confident in my fashion decisions. Another thing that helps me is to take photos of me in my favorite outfits to catalog in a wardrobe album. I can scroll through my album to pick a favorite outfit. Because, as I’m sure you know, with age comes memory loss.
You are SO welcome! Making an album full of outfit photos is so helpful even without memory loss! xo
I just found you about a month ago. I'm loving all the tips even though my budget will always be on the super low end. So happy to report to you, whether you see this comment or not, but in one of your videos, you said all women should own something in animal print. I just bought my first pair of animal boot print. It makes me feel sooo much more elevated wearing them. Thank you!
Yay! That's amazing! Thank you for sharing...SO glad you are enjoying my content. xo
Thank you for these videos!! Was searching for fashion over 40 and found you.
Love my uniform too. Jeans blazer and a blouse or sweater. My fav!
Great tips! I also don't iron! And hang dry nearly everything to keep size and shape!
You have such a great talent and I have to say you've helped me look much more modern...my friends are saying "you look so good" basically I'm not covering up so much anymore and following your guidlines is the difference...literally nothing else has changed 😳🤔😁🌻
Love that, Pammy! So happy to hear that you are looking good and more importantly feeling good! xo
@@BusbeeStyle thx 🌻
Love your style and suggestions! Way older than 40, keeping it classy yet comfy!
Great tips and for any age. Loved idea of the uniform to get ready quickly and still be polished.
I am 29 ,but I feel that this tips apply to everyone,great job you !Thank you!
They really do work for a wide range of ages! So glad you found this helpful! xo
I am so thankful I found your channel! I am 51 years old and have forgotten how to even style myself. It seems like I lost myself raising the kids and always went for the classic hoodie and pair of jeans. Now I am a single woman who has no idea what to wear for dates or for my new job.. which is business wear.
You are in the right place! Hopefully my videos will help you find your personal style again and get you ready to rock it! Here are two videos with some date night looks that may help inspire you: ua-cam.com/video/dIUBXDQs2BM/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/ozoe-gAIxk4/v-deo.html
Even more than the style advice I really appreciate the pep talk. Thank you!
You're so welcome! xo
Great blogg! - Wow I can't believe you're 46. And I must say you have great style. I'll be 50 this week and I just found you're channel. I will be watching more of your bloggs - thanks soo much!
Just started watching your videos...I'm addicted, It definitely has made me reevaluating my wardrobe, love it GOD BLESS
SAME HERE!!! New year! New style! New wardrobe!🥰🥰🥰
Thank you, Felicia! I'm so glad you are enjoying these videos! xo
I iron a lot because I sew my clothes and its important to press as you sew. Great video!!
That makes a lot of sense, Carmen! Thank you! xo
I was just this morning looking at ordering a steamer! Thank you for this recommendation ⭐️
Yeah me too
I love your idea of finding a style uniform, and I was strangely comforted by the fact that I could do that every day with variations. :) I love clothes, and I tend to chose things from my closet in the morning dependant upon my mood, or what grabs my attention that morning. Some mornings, though, there isn't that time to peruse the closet! This tip will definitely help getting ready in a hurry!!!
You're so welcome, Angélique! It is so important for THOSE mornings! xo
I have that same steamer. It's great! I bought it at Costco. And I also never iron!
I HATE ironing and refuse to do it under any circumstances. Steamers are an amazing alternative. Thank you so much for another informative and affirming segment, Erin. Would you consider doing one on a jewelry capsule? I want to invest in some of the basics suggested in your checklist but have no clue where to start. I don’t want to waste money on poor quality materials.
I'm with you, Annie! Did you see this jewelry video?:ua-cam.com/video/36r86Pp5ThQ/v-deo.html It should give you a good starting point! xo
Busbee Style Thank you! This is perfect!
Thank you for this video - we need these educational pep talks! You look terrific today--great hair and great pale pink.
Thank you so much! xo
Awesome tips once again! I have shared your channel with friends who compliment me on my style. My tip is to have a special laundry basket for those things you want to wash carefully. My husband has shrunk some of my better things in his desire to "get the laundry done".
Thank you, Lisa! You are not alone, there! xo
I love that top on you. The color is perfect for your hair and complexion. The deep V neckline looks amazing on you. As a super-busty lady, if I wore that, I would look trashy. It drapes nicely over your chest. I have to say yours are the only videos I watch because your looks are classy. Lots of other content is presented by people whose style I don’t like and I can’t get past that when I think “ who is she to talk?”
ERin, you hit it out of the ballpark again! I sooo love your videos. You have creds, are articulate, likeable and project an aura of confidence and expertise! Thanks for all you do for us. You're amazing and I can't wait to see what's next for the Busbee purse. Hugs from the very hot Valley of the Sun (Phoenix). Besos y Abrazos, Cindy
Thank you so much, Cindy!
As always great advice. I really appreciate your help in navigating style over 40. I definitely got confused for a few years after I turned 40 but I'm slowly getting my confidence back. Thank you Erin xx
That's so great to hear! xo
Loved the video. More so the uniform tips I so need for those kinda days. The steamer is a blessing 👍 thankyou
I love your videos Erin and have learned how to style myself better from watching every week and look forward to your content. And I'm a shape within a shape so thank you for clarifying. And I never think rules - I just take what applies and appeals to me since I know all the women who watch need different things.And I love the "you do you" philosophy! I need to up the quality of the basics as I get more attracted to the trends. The basics aren't boring - they're the backbone and I need to remember this premise! I hope the consensus is to stay at 2 videos a week. I know it takes ALOT of time but I so look forward to your content. Much love and thanks for all you do for the women of the world!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your feedback! xo
Great video, thanks! Do you have advice on what to wear in a hot and humid climate?
You're SO welcome! My videos from the past month or so all focus on summer fashion. I'll link one fo my current ones here: ua-cam.com/video/aAjThCG1E_o/v-deo.html
I am so glad I found your page. I'm 46, I don't look my age but sometimes I feel like I need to revisit my style. I'm very petite.
Welcome! So glad to help! xo
@@BusbeeStyle thank you!
Hai pienamente ragione!!!! La cura dei capi è fondamentalmente. Io lavo a mano, con il giusto detersivo, tutti i capi da sera e poi li stendo all'aria con la gruccia. Sono sempre perfetti.
Hi. Liked the video. Turning 65 this week and have returned to what I weighed at 30 so I am excited about cloths again. The tips are great.
That's amazing, Michelle! Congratulations on all of your hard work. xo
Thank you so much! You made me realise i will get me a style uniform for crazy mornings😅
Thank you for great tips, as always! Your rules are inspiring and remembering that we all have doubts and are lost sometimes puts things in right perspective. I have two doughters ages 9 and 10 and when they see me watch your new video they watch as well😀 and they always say you cannot be more than 20 years old!
Thank you so much! You are so sweet! I'm so glad my videos are so helpful for you! xo
Love the 80/20 rule. That helps me a WHOLE LOT!
Great video as always Erin. These tips are important to hear as we go through different stages and ages.
Thank you, Pam! xo
Great video, rules that make alot of sense and are easy to apply to your wardrobe. Maybe you could do a more complete guide for the basic body types, my body has changed with the menopause and I'm struggling with this new shape. Thank you to you and your team with such great content every week 💕💕💕
Thank you so much, Maria! The first step is to determine your current shape. I show you how in this video: ua-cam.com/video/DNDrVVoHtAw/v-deo.html . Once you know your shape you can watch the video that is specifically for your shape for more specific recommendations. xo
Busbee Style Thank you I’ll go back and watch the video again 🥰🥰
