I loved everything you modeled for us today. I like the silver buttons on the that navy blue suit. Thank you Serena for your dedication and commitment to find us these amazing pieces. Your time and energy are greatly appreciated. 100k coming soon.
Hi Serena! I have been a subscriber to your channel for while and I think you have a very classy style. I enjoy all of your video content. Please don't let negative people get to you, because when they see that they can they will continue. Its very sad that people find enjoyment from tearing other people down (especially women) but they do. I'm 51 years old and I wear what makes me happy and that I feel good in. Keep bringing us great videos, you're Fabulous!😊
Those pin stripe pants look so good on you! You also look good in green! I love lady jackets they just make an outfit look expensive. Great video thank you!
I’m 58 and I will continue to wear metallic buttons or clothing with metallic threads. As we age we need some sparkle! ❤ thank you Serena for you videos!
I don’t always wear a belt either. I am short waisted and some belts cut me off too much. I am in my seventies and I wear clothing with shiny buttons. I never even thought about bring too old for shiny buttons. I guess I am too old to follow some of the fashion rules or I am too old to care. Wear what you are comfortable in and what makes you happy. That is my fashion rule now. Love that green sweater on you. All the outfits were lovely.
Hi Serena! Excellent video-as always. You always look so good in all your outfits, especially the trousers/pants. I loved the jeans with the buttons, and , NO, you and anyone in our age group is not too old to wear decorative buttons on clothing. They add interest and detail to what might be otherwise an ordinary pair of jeans. ❤️👍 Also, I think a belt is optional. If you want to show off your waist or add color/detail to an outfit, belts are necessary; otherwise, their addition is a matter of personal preference and “design instinct.” You do a wonderful job in orchestrating your videos, and I always look forward to seeing new items! Have a great rest of the week! 🙋♀️💕
I wear belts to keep my pants up where I like them to stay I’m not skinny by any means lol. Also I dress for me and what I feel makes me feel good. You are never to old for a little flash. 💚
You look amazing in the Jeans and the Blazer. Very flattering I don’t think age has anything to do with it. And I’m with you being very short wasted myself, it’s hard to find just the right width belt that done draw attention to it.
Serena, I LOVE the jeans with the buttons! I am 62 and picture these jeans with my cowboy boots and your fringe knit jacket! SO stylish and absolutely don’t feel too old to wear!
It’s all silly I’m 64 and I wear what I want and I’m always getting compliments from everyone even my adult children and they are the closest critics I have. Forget about what others think enjoy life you are doing a great job. Thanks.❤
Great video today! As for the button comment, that is a personal choice. If you want them, wear them; if not, don't wear them. I think the buttoned outfits were great! I'm on the fence about belts. I read once that if pants or jeans have belt loops, you should wear a belt. But, I hate tucking in a shirt, so I don't wear a belt unless I'm forced to tuck in my shirt. Keep up the great work!!!!!
The comments about the shiny buttons is a new one - I have NEVER heard that one before. And the belts, I don't give much weight to "fashion rules"; they're guidelines at best. That said, if I really don't feel like wearing a belt, I don't. If I want to wear an outfit made of nothing but shiny buttons, I will. 😆✨
I'm 60, 5'2", size 16.....I wear anything that I love and that fits my body. I rarely wear belts with jeans. I certainly love buttons on classic pieces! I do have to be careful of proportions and design since I am a round shape body! I embrace color but am careful when choosing prints. Love your channel. Love your advice. Keep it coming.
Wear what you like. There will always be someone you can”t please. You always look great! Never heard of either of those things. ? Too old for buttons? Crazy!
I am 75 and I'm 5' tall and short waisted. I'm so glad to have found your page! I wear a LOT of jeans and never wear a belt. It would make me look cut in half. BTW I love the jeans with buttons and can't wait to buy some. Pay no attention to the naysayers. That's just their opinion and I'd love seeing what their wardrobe looks like! You do you and keep up the great job you're doing!❤
Love, love, love all of these looks! Sometimes I wear a belt, but not because there are belt loops. NEVER heard the button comment before. That’s just dumb. 😊
I hardly ever wear a belt with my jeans and never thought twice about my buttons being too shiny. That's just silly talk. Thanks for all your great videos!! Keep em coming. ❤
Thanks again for another great video 😊 My favorite item was the fringe trim jacket…that is a very classy look with jeans and boots (my favorite outfit). My least favorite is the navy chinos…I don’t know why but whenever I see navy pants or jackets, I cringe 😬 probably an unpleasant association from childhood 😂 I wish I could buy more items but I love that you give us some direction to put together a basic wardrobe. It’s always great when you can mix and match some of these pieces to create a new outfit. Footwear and jackets are my favorite layers.
Hello Serena. I started following you a few weeks ago and I really enjoy all your content. I will be 65 in July and I’ve been retired for over two years. I have always been known for my great sense of style but now I feel I’m lacking in that area…maybe my age?!🤷🏼♀️ You have been a breath of fresh air and I love your style. I’m now looking forward to adding some new items to my closet…thanks to you!! 😍
Oh my goodness! It is truly amazing the things people come up with to complain about! I think that belt “rule” is completely outdated, much like the old rule abiut not wearing white after Labor Day and not before Labor Day. As for the shiny metallic buttons, that one of the strangest things I’ve ever heard, and it’s a new one on me. If we went by that, I guess we shouldn’t wear our gold or silver jewelry either. 😅 I’ll be 61 in April, and I wear a belt when I think it adds to the outfit. Also, I’m not giving up my metallic buttons or my gold & silver jewelry. Keep on being you, Serena!
You picked some very nice items for this video...clothes and Vivaia shoes! To answer your questions...no I don't always wear a belt even if the belt loops are showing when I tuck my shirt in. I personally don't think a belt must be worn...whether I tuck in my shirt or not when wearing pants with belt loops. As for the second...I have never heard anyone say anything about shiny metallic buttons not being appropriate after a certain age...that's a new one for me! I say wear what you want. Have a great week!
My style role model was Iris Apfel, not because of what she wore but because she had her own style and the confidence to be herself. I doubt she cared what anyone said about what she wore and she was 102. No one is too old to wear whatever they want. I hope to regain the confidence of my youth in my fun color pairings and accessories.
Wow I did not know she passed, I just disembarked from a cruise this morning, started to catch up on my favorite TH-cam channels and saw your comment. She was one of my favorite designers. I have quite a collection of her beautiful and colorful clothing, coats, jewelry, and boots. I believe I I have only worn about half of my collection outside the home. The other half I play dress up in when I host Girlfriends poker night every 3 months or so. I bought many items from her collection she did for HSN. Truly a great style Icon not afraid of conventional standards.
For me personally, I’m not a fan of belts most of the time, so count me in the bare belt loops club. I’m also short waisted. As for the shiny buttons, they are ageless and can often act as a sort of jewelry. Loved all your outfits-so classy!
Thank you!! I totally think belts are an issue for those of us who are short-waisted. My wife wait is literally right below my bottom rib, so a belt can be very uncomfortable on high rise jeans.
I love binge watching your videos! I especially am grateful for your jeans episode!! I need new jeans!! With your great tips about which jeans for body shape and also regarding inseam info has been a wonderful asset!! Thank you Serena for making shopping for jeans less intimidating and frustrating!! Love Barb ❤
Everything is so good looking, gives me so many ideas! I bought the coated jeans you showed a couple of videos back in green and black from chicos.....absolutely love them! Thankyou!
Serena, I like belts with jeans but hardly ever wear one. It really just depends on the look I am going for. I agree with everyone else that the tee shirt sweaters are cute. Thanks for sharing all the great finds and keep rocking the buttons!
Love your channel and content. I also love Vivaia, great shoes! I do wear belts with pants that have loops, especially if my top is tucked in, but if it hangs loose over the loops then no. As for negative comments, they are just that, negative and typically come from negative people. She would flip out over what I wear and I'll be 62 this year. I agree with you, wear what makes ya happy and makes you feel good.
Like you always say in your videos...wear what makes you feel good...if you wear it confidently because it is what you like....then go for it. Love all your outfits!❤
I’m with you-if I want to wear a belt, I do, and I don’t feel we should be limiting ourselves or others with ageist comments about buttons. You know what’s always in style? Lifting each other up and wearing an encouraging smile. ❤
Really loved this video! Great ideas for work-wear! Please show us more of these :) Can you tell me if the Spanx pants need to be sized up? I have a pair that are so tight to get up and over my hips/stomach. I wish I had gone up a size or two. Thanks so much!
We are never to old to wear shiny buttons. Wear a belt if you want to or not. I think some gals lack the confidence to wear what they really want to, or believe certain styles are only for the young and slim. Confidence goes a long way. Love your videos, Serena. I also love Oralia Martinez. She is a plus size petite personal stylist, and boy, does she exude confidence. I'm not plus size, but in my old age, have developed a tummy below my navel. Would never have dreamed of tucking in a shirt or sweater, but now I do, thanks to Oralia. Trying to hide my tummy behind long tops is far less flattering than doing some kind of tuck, be it full or half.
Serena, you are correct. You can wear shiny buttons or shiny anything that you like and looks good on you. Those people are ignorant or they are jealous that you look better in those clothes than they do! Thanks for the vids! 🙂👍
The outfits all looked super cute on you. The blue and white striped shirt was so pretty, especially with your gorgeous baby blues. I never wear belts with my jeans. As far as shiny buttons, I never really thought about it, but I don’t think a person’s age should stop someone from wearing shiny buttons, if they want to. Thanks Serena for another great video.
Hi Serena, that satin shirt is so pretty. I love the spectator pump as well. The gray sweater looks great with the spanx pants. Love the black sweater and the green even more! I think the jacket and jeans was my favorite! People are so crazy with their comments! I hardly ever wear belts and think that there’s no way that buttons have anything to do with age!? By the way, I had to order the khaki chino pants from the Walmart video using your link! I can’t wait to see how they work!
I am tired of comments giving you a hard time. I love this channel. I almost always wear a belt but that's just me. You do you, Serena. If the comment is kind and gives you inspiration then that's another story. 💙
I love buttons. All your capsule wardrobe picks were great. I would wear them all. Just not all at the same time. Love your channel.~Janet in Columbus, Ohio.
You are so much fun! You do not have to wear a belt with pants just because they have belt loops, especially if they are jeans. I think its more about how you want to style them, and what is most flattering for your figure. About the age related thing....please! There is no cut off age for wearing stylish clothes with stylish details!!!!
Love the channel! You have the best idea's. Don't worry about your haters. People have forgotten that we don't have to agree 100% on everything. Some things don't work for everybody. And that is ok to. You are fun and have great energy. That is the first reason I watch your video's. If I happen to find something that catches my eye, that is just cake in my opinion. Keep up the great video's! ❤
Hello Serena! Regarding the comments about too old to wear this...too old to wear that! Ignore the haters. They're just jealous that you can wear a size 4. You do you and keep doing what you're doing! PS... 61 and I just bought the same Gap jeans in a 4. 😉 oh and no belt for me either.
I’m going to be 76 yrs old next week and I love fashion and wear what I love and feel good in ! I’m retired so I mostly wear a casual capsule wardrobe- jeans, leggings, good T shirts, denim and cotton shirts and sweaters and dressier things for church . I get so tired of hearing what older ladies shouldn’t wear and those commercials saying no makeup over 50 except those boom sticks ! I love clothes and makeup and will continue to wear them as long as I live 😂🎉😅 love your videos ❤️
No belt and metallic shiny everything goes! So funny. That sounds like my mom’s generation. Know as the best generation ever but they did live by fashion rules. I think some people just thrive to be rude and disrespectful. You are in such a vulnerable position in front of so many with keyboards. Bless you! Your wonderful!
I wear what makes me happy n I feel comfortable n confident. What people think doesn't matter to me...life is short let's enjoy n make the most of it ladies! 😊
Awesome video. ✨🌼 I’ve never heard about the belt or buttons. It’s is silly to put rules for fashion it’s the one thing we can experiment with. Wear a belt or not, my mom wears one because she has lost so much weight because of her health situation. Honestly, people just need to chill. You be you and I’ll be me!
I hope to one day find a pant that has the buttons and I think look cute on me, I’d buy them in a minute. I sometimes wear belts but most times feel they take to long to unbuckle and re buckle after tucking in your top when you go to the ladies room. We all know how long waiting lines can get sometimes, so you try to hurry. On the Free Assembly chinos, someone said that they ran big, so I ordered a 2 instead of 4. Still too big. Ordered a 0 and that fits me perfectly. I’m 5’2” and 103 lbs. I ordered them in khaki, blue, green and cream color. Very cute pants. Your video gave me the idea to wear the blue chinos with a stripe shirt. I have around 5 blue striped ones and other colored button up striped shirts too. I also just bought a pair of mustard color canvas slip on shoes, I think they will add a pop of color to that outfit.
I love the spanx trousers, and the grey sweater outfit looks absolutely stunning on you❤ love your lip stick. I dont think a belt is necessary, and buttons can make or break an outfit.
I never wear a belt with jeans, and that person who said that the blazer with the silver button was to flashy for older women. She need to speak for herself because those are just buttons. If you think old you’re going to be old with old ways!
I don’t wear belts. I try the tuck in method but even this doesn’t always look good on me. I’m always on the chilly side so I am usually wearing another shirt or sweater over a top which tends to cover the loops.
Difficult to decide which outfit I prefer. Such beautiful pieces you showed today: that striped blue blouse and that gorgeous satin blouse. Also loved those Spanx wide leg pants, so elegant and flattering and that grey jacket 👌. The Vivia shoes I would all purchase but I hesitate to buy shoes on line. I just recently started to wear belts and that is thanks to you, tucking sweaters and blouses to show the hips that I usually preferred to cover. But wearing or not a belt depends on the suit (sometimes it adds a little pop, sometimes not required). I also have a short body so, with a dress, I will sometimes use a loose belt that comes down below the hips to elongate. I think women can wear whatever they want at whatever age if it makes them look good. Anyways I have learned a lot on fashion since I watch your channel. Good luck for your 100K subscribers , you are almost there!
Pay no attention to critics and their know-it-all digs at your style. Self confident people will just pass by recommendations that they don’t agree with. Rigid, insecure people will attempt to sway others to their life view through derogatory comments. Belt-less jeans and shiney buttons are just fine! p.s. thanks for calling out the naysayers ❤️
Serena, I think you always look spit on and terrific in all the looks you put together. I carry my eight in my mid section and am.taller, but short waisted. I don't think there's any reason you should wear a belt if you don't want to. The statement a out shiny buttons. Again, you look spot on. For Pete's sake, they are buttons. If people don't feel comfortable in shiny buttons then they don't have to wear them. I'm 63, but not dead or model perfect and wear what I feel good in. Just recently found and subscribed. You are terrific@
I used to think that if your pants had belt loops, you should wear a belt, but I have seen women wear pants without belts, and I have since changed my mind. I didn't think that not wearing a belt took away from how stylish the outfit was. The button issue -- never thought that age would determine if you should wear shiny buttons or not. Wear the shiny buttons -- at any age!
I don't wear belts either, I'm never too old to wear want I like, wear what you want and what your comfortable in I'm tired of people saying thats to old for you I wear what I like, personally I love the look of the jeans I'm ordering a pair ,I thought you looked great in them, My grandma wore housecoats every day I will not do that! Lol
1965 called and they want their “rules“ back! 😂. Go ahead and wear white jeans after Labor Day while you’re at it! This comes from a very young 70 year old woman.
Omgosh Serena !!! Please don’t listen to people People are always ready to give negative feedback perhaps it makes them feel better about themselves You’re doing a great job and I think the items you show are cute and flattering to ladies of this age … Ummm ..no! Wearing pants or jeans with belt loops DOES NOT mean you have to wear a belt! Ladies get a grip of yourself … it’s fashion .. you wear whatever you want to wear that makes YOU feel good about YOU! Shheesshh
First, personally if the top doesn’t cover up the belt loops then I wear a belt. I don’t like to see belt loops with no belt. Second, I don’t like shiny buttons on anything no matter your age. They just look tacky. Third, you are one classy lady and I love your videos! Keep up the good work!

Love shiny buttons! No rules…wear a belt if you feel like it…or not! Loved your outfits today especially that last jacket.
Wear belts if you choose to & not to old for shiny buttons on the items you wear !! Loved everything!! Off to my LTK app!!! Have a great day!!
Love the jeans with buttons, ver flattering.

I love the jeans with the silver buttons. And I would wear them 73 years old😂
Why not? I'm sure they would look nice on you!!
Those pin stripe pants look so good on you! You also look good in green! I love lady jackets they just make an outfit look expensive. Great video thank you!
You look beautiful in the green knitted top, green really flatters your colouring x
I’m 58 and I will continue to wear metallic buttons or clothing with metallic threads. As we age we need some sparkle! ❤ thank you Serena for you videos!

I have two pair of Vivaia shoes and I also have boots. I took them right out of the box and wore them. They are so comfortable.
It’s all silly I’m 64 and I wear what I want and I’m always getting compliments from everyone even my adult children and they are the closest critics I have. Forget about what others think enjoy life you are doing a great job. Thanks.❤
The blue striped blouse really enhanced the color of your eyes. So pretty on you!
Oh thank you!
The belts are a nice touch and lend polish, as do the buttons. No we're not too old for buttons lol
Love outfit #3 on you, very classy!
Thank you!!
You look beautiful in all your outfits but the SPANX pants are perfect, slimming, and elongating for you!!!! ♥️

My least favorite is the navy chinos…I don’t know why but whenever I see navy pants or jackets, I cringe 😬 probably an unpleasant association from childhood 😂
I wish I could buy more items but I love that you give us some direction to put together a basic wardrobe. It’s always great when you can mix and match some of these pieces to create a new outfit. Footwear and jackets are my favorite layers.
I rarely wear belts with jeans that have belt loops. Everything looked great!
Love your looks. Just keep doing you. Love ya ❤
Hello Serena. I started following you a few weeks ago and I really enjoy all your content. I will be 65 in July and I’ve been retired for over two years. I have always been known for my great sense of style but now I feel I’m lacking in that area…maybe my age?!🤷🏼♀️
You have been a breath of fresh air and I love your style. I’m now looking forward to adding some new items to my closet…thanks to you!! 😍
So glad you're enjoying my channel!
Great video Serena- I love the Nic and Zoe jacket that you featured at the end 💕
Me too!!
Oh my goodness! It is truly amazing the things people come up with to complain about!
I think that belt “rule” is completely outdated, much like the old rule abiut not wearing white after Labor Day and not before Labor Day.
As for the shiny metallic buttons, that one of the strangest things I’ve ever heard, and it’s a new one on me. If we went by that, I guess we shouldn’t wear our gold or silver jewelry either. 😅
I’ll be 61 in April, and I wear a belt when I think it adds to the outfit. Also, I’m not giving up my metallic buttons or my gold & silver jewelry. Keep on being you, Serena!
You showed so many pretty outfits in this video. I love the variety of retailers, so many choices. Thanks!
You are so welcome!
You picked some very nice items for this video...clothes and Vivaia shoes! To answer your questions...no I don't always wear a belt even if the belt loops are showing when I tuck my shirt in. I personally don't think a belt must be worn...whether I tuck in my shirt or not when wearing pants with belt loops. As for the second...I have never heard anyone say anything about shiny metallic buttons not being appropriate after a certain age...that's a new one for me! I say wear what you want. Have a great week!
My style role model was Iris Apfel, not because of what she wore but because she had her own style and the confidence to be herself. I doubt she cared what anyone said about what she wore and she was 102. No one is too old to wear whatever they want. I hope to regain the confidence of my youth in my fun color pairings and accessories.
She definitely wasn't afraid of color and flashy accessories!!!
Wow I did not know she passed, I just disembarked from a cruise this morning, started to catch up on my favorite TH-cam channels and saw your comment. She was one of my favorite designers. I have quite a collection of her beautiful and colorful clothing, coats, jewelry, and boots. I believe I
I have only worn about half of my collection outside the home. The other half I play dress up in when I host Girlfriends poker night every 3 months or so. I bought many items from her collection she did for HSN. Truly a great style Icon not afraid of conventional standards.
RIP Iris!
Oh wow you are getting close to 100,000!! Hey! Keep ing !😊
I love your classic, elegant style ❤❤
Thank you so much!!
I wear a belt if I tuck in my shirt but that’s my taste. Everyone should do what they like.
Hi Serena, you are almost at 100,00, really exciting for you.
For me personally, I’m not a fan of belts most of the time, so count me in the bare belt loops club. I’m also short waisted. As for the shiny buttons, they are ageless and can often act as a sort of jewelry. Loved all your outfits-so classy!
Thank you!! I totally think belts are an issue for those of us who are short-waisted. My wife wait is literally right below my bottom rib, so a belt can be very uncomfortable on high rise jeans.
I love binge watching your videos! I especially am grateful for your jeans episode!! I need new jeans!! With your great tips about which jeans for body shape and also regarding inseam info has been a wonderful asset!! Thank you Serena for making shopping for jeans less intimidating and frustrating!!
Love Barb ❤
Lots of great choices in the capsule wardrobe! Thanks so much for your advice!
You are so welcome!
Everything is so good looking, gives me so many ideas! I bought the coated jeans you showed a couple of videos back in green and black from chicos.....absolutely love them! Thankyou!
Serena, I like belts with jeans but hardly ever wear one. It really just depends on the look I am going for. I agree with everyone else that the tee shirt sweaters are cute. Thanks for sharing all the great finds and keep rocking the buttons!
Love your channel and content. I also love Vivaia, great shoes! I do wear belts with pants that have loops, especially if my top is tucked in, but if it hangs loose over the loops then no. As for negative comments, they are just that, negative and typically come from negative people. She would flip out over what I wear and I'll be 62 this year. I agree with you, wear what makes ya happy and makes you feel good.
Like you always say in your videos...wear what makes you feel good...if you wear it confidently because it is what you like....then go for it. Love all your outfits!❤
I’m with you-if I want to wear a belt, I do, and I don’t feel we should be limiting ourselves or others with ageist comments about buttons. You know what’s always in style? Lifting each other up and wearing an encouraging smile. ❤
👏 👏 👏
Enjoyed
Really loved this video! Great ideas for work-wear! Please show us more of these :) Can you tell me if the Spanx pants need to be sized up? I have a pair that are so tight to get up and over my hips/stomach. I wish I had gone up a size or two. Thanks so much!
Thanks! No, in these pants, you do not need to size up like you do in some Spanx. My regular size is just right.
Keep the videos coming Serena; I love your suggestions.
Thank you! Will do!
I think I love your style.
Love all of these pieces including the shoes❤ Going to be 62 in a couple days and I’m a belt and button gal and will be even well into my 90’s🙌🏽
We are never to old to wear shiny buttons. Wear a belt if you want to or not. I think some gals lack the confidence to wear what they really want to, or believe certain styles are only for the young and slim. Confidence goes a long way. Love your videos, Serena. I also love Oralia Martinez. She is a plus size petite personal stylist, and boy, does she exude confidence. I'm not plus size, but in my old age, have developed a tummy below my navel. Would never have dreamed of tucking in a shirt or sweater, but now I do, thanks to Oralia. Trying to hide my tummy behind long tops is far less flattering than doing some kind of tuck, be it full or half.
I enjoy watching Oralia too, love how confident and sophisticated she is!
I am proud to call @oraliamartinez one of my friends!
You ladies are far too kind, but I do appreciate the compliments! Confidence is our best and most important accessory, never leave home without it. 😉💕
Serena, you are correct. You can wear shiny buttons or shiny anything that you like and looks good on you. Those people are ignorant or they are jealous that you look better in those clothes than they do! Thanks for the vids! 🙂👍
Serena, I just love your style sense. You explain everything very nicely. ❤
I wear belts with jeans!👌
The outfits all looked super cute on you. The blue and white striped shirt was so pretty, especially with your gorgeous baby blues. I never wear belts with my jeans. As far as shiny buttons, I never really thought about it, but I don’t think a person’s age should stop someone from wearing shiny buttons, if they want to. Thanks Serena for another great video.
Thank you so much 🤗
Hi Serena, that satin shirt is so pretty. I love the spectator pump as well. The gray sweater looks great with the spanx pants. Love the black sweater and the green even more! I think the jacket and jeans was my favorite! People are so crazy with their comments! I hardly ever wear belts and think that there’s no way that buttons have anything to do with age!? By the way, I had to order the khaki chino pants from the Walmart video using your link! I can’t wait to see how they work!
Love Vavaia shoes ❤️
I never wear a belt. I like the outfits with the buttons. I think age is just a frame of mind. If you feel comfortable in what you wear then wear it.
I am tired of comments giving you a hard time. I love this channel. I almost always wear a belt but that's just me. You do you, Serena. If the comment is kind and gives you inspiration then that's another story. 💙
I appreciate that
Hi Serena! I just love your videos! This was so helpful, and thanks for the discount code for Vivaia. You always look great!
You are so welcome!
New subscriber.
❤ everything beautiful .thx Serena ❤
Welcome!!
I love your style, we are close to the same size. Could you add purses and handbags in your styling please ❤
I love buttons. All your capsule wardrobe picks were great. I would wear them all. Just not all at the same time. Love your channel.~Janet in Columbus, Ohio.
Thank you so much!
You are so much fun! You do not have to wear a belt with pants just because they have belt loops, especially if they are jeans. I think its more about how you want to style them, and what is most flattering for your figure. About the age related thing....please! There is no cut off age for wearing stylish clothes with stylish details!!!!
I think if you love it. Who cares what they think. You do you and let them do them. You look great.
I just ordered a pair of the square toe mary jane's - I can't wait! Thanks, Serena!
My 22 year daughter loved them so I had to order her a pair too!!! 😂
Love the channel! You have the best idea's. Don't worry about your haters. People have forgotten that we don't have to agree 100% on everything. Some things don't work for everybody. And that is ok to. You are fun and have great energy. That is the first reason I watch your video's. If I happen to find something that catches my eye, that is just cake in my opinion. Keep up the great video's! ❤
Hello Serena! Regarding the comments about too old to wear this...too old to wear that! Ignore the haters. They're just jealous that you can wear a size 4. You do you and keep doing what you're doing! PS... 61 and I just bought the same Gap jeans in a 4. 😉 oh and no belt for me either.
Thank you so much!
Im 68 and i wear it all ..buttons yes!! Im very flashy!!! ❤😂
I’m going to be 76 yrs old next week and I love fashion and wear what I love and feel good in ! I’m retired so I mostly wear a casual capsule wardrobe- jeans, leggings, good T shirts, denim and cotton shirts and sweaters and dressier things for church . I get so tired of hearing what older ladies shouldn’t wear and those commercials saying no makeup over 50 except those boom sticks ! I love clothes and makeup and will continue to wear them as long as I live 😂🎉😅 love your videos ❤️
No belt and metallic shiny everything goes! So funny. That sounds like my mom’s generation. Know as the best generation ever but they did live by fashion rules.
I think some people just thrive to be rude and disrespectful. You are in such a vulnerable position in front of so many with keyboards. Bless you! Your wonderful!
Thank you 😘
Loved these looks! Omg, you're so close to 100K subscribers! 🎉🤞
So close!
I personally always wear a belt but I also never thought someone 's outfit looked off or odd because they weren't wearing one. I like belts.
I wear what makes me happy n I feel comfortable n confident. What people think doesn't matter to me...life is short let's enjoy n make the most of it ladies! 😊
Awesome video. ✨🌼 I’ve never heard about the belt or buttons. It’s is silly to put rules for fashion it’s the one thing we can experiment with. Wear a belt or not, my mom wears one because she has lost so much weight because of her health situation. Honestly, people just need to chill. You be you and I’ll be me!
I love your style Serena, thank you for sharing. Just found your channel today & I’m watching from Australia ❤
Welcome!
I love your video ❤
I'm 57 and I wear what I want. LOL. Not only am I 57 yrs, but I'm plus sized as well. I wear whatever style I enjoy. Fashion is suppose to be fun.
I hope to one day find a pant that has the buttons and I think look cute on me, I’d buy them in a minute. I sometimes wear belts but most times feel they take to long to unbuckle and re buckle after tucking in your top when you go to the ladies room. We all know how long waiting lines can get sometimes, so you try to hurry. On the Free Assembly chinos, someone said that they ran big, so I ordered a 2 instead of 4. Still too big. Ordered a 0 and that fits me perfectly. I’m 5’2” and 103 lbs. I ordered them in khaki, blue, green and cream color. Very cute pants. Your video gave me the idea to wear the blue chinos with a stripe shirt. I have around 5 blue striped ones and other colored button up striped shirts too. I also just bought a pair of mustard color canvas slip on shoes, I think they will add a pop of color to that outfit.
I love the spanx trousers, and the grey sweater outfit looks absolutely stunning on you❤ love your lip stick. I dont think a belt is necessary, and buttons can make or break an outfit.
I never wear a belt with jeans, and that person who said that the blazer with the silver button was to flashy for older women. She need to speak for herself because those are just buttons. If you think old you’re going to be old with old ways!
I don’t wear belts. I try the tuck in method but even this doesn’t always look good on me. I’m always on the chilly side so I am usually wearing another shirt or sweater over a top which tends to cover the loops.
Hi Serena! Thanks for all your tips. Please would you share your brand and shade of lipstick? I love it!
I always wear 3 lip products. Liner, lipstick & gloss. www.shopltk.com/explore/StyleWithSerena/productsets/11ee4200e25953b9b4ef0242ac110003
What a ridiculous comment about rhe buttons. You look gorgeous in all the outfits shown. X
Difficult to decide which outfit I prefer. Such beautiful pieces you showed today: that striped blue blouse and that gorgeous satin blouse. Also loved those Spanx wide leg pants, so elegant and flattering and that grey jacket 👌. The Vivia shoes I would all purchase but I hesitate to buy shoes on line. I just recently started to wear belts and that is thanks to you, tucking sweaters and blouses to show the hips that I usually preferred to cover. But wearing or not a belt depends on the suit (sometimes it adds a little pop, sometimes not required). I also have a short body so, with a dress, I will sometimes use a loose belt that comes down below the hips to elongate. I think women can wear whatever they want at whatever age if it makes them look good. Anyways I have learned a lot on fashion since I watch your channel. Good luck for your 100K subscribers , you are almost there!
Thank you!!!
Pay no attention to critics and their know-it-all digs at your style. Self confident people will just pass by recommendations that they don’t agree with. Rigid, insecure people will attempt to sway others to their life view through derogatory comments. Belt-less jeans and shiney buttons are just fine! p.s. thanks for calling out the naysayers ❤️
Serena, I think you always look spit on and terrific in all the looks you put together. I carry my eight in my mid section and am.taller, but short waisted. I don't think there's any reason you should wear a belt if you don't want to. The statement a out shiny buttons. Again, you look spot on. For Pete's sake, they are buttons. If people don't feel comfortable in shiny buttons then they don't have to wear them. I'm 63, but not dead or model perfect and wear what I feel good in. Just recently found and subscribed. You are terrific@
I used to think that if your pants had belt loops, you should wear a belt, but I have seen women wear pants without belts, and I have since changed my mind. I didn't think that not wearing a belt took away from how stylish the outfit was. The button issue -- never thought that age would determine if you should wear shiny buttons or not. Wear the shiny buttons -- at any age!
I am 78 and I don't wear a belt. I love wearing clothes with buttons, I think it is a classy look. ❤
I don't wear belts either, I'm never too old to wear want I like, wear what you want and what your comfortable in I'm tired of people saying thats to old for you I wear what I like, personally I love the look of the jeans I'm ordering a pair ,I thought you looked great in them, My grandma wore housecoats every day I will not do that! Lol
Love love
1965 called and they want their “rules“ back! 😂. Go ahead and wear white jeans after Labor Day while you’re at it! This comes from a very young 70 year old woman.
Omgosh Serena !!!
Please don’t listen to people
People are always ready to give negative feedback perhaps it makes them feel better about themselves
You’re doing a great job and I think the items you show are cute and flattering to ladies of this age …
Ummm ..no! Wearing pants or jeans with belt loops DOES NOT mean you have to wear a belt!
Ladies get a grip of yourself … it’s fashion .. you wear whatever you want to wear that makes YOU feel good about YOU!
Shheesshh
First, personally if the top doesn’t cover up the belt loops then I wear a belt. I don’t like to see belt loops with no belt. Second, I don’t like shiny buttons on anything no matter your age. They just look tacky. Third, you are one classy lady and I love your videos! Keep up the good work!
