🧡How to Wear It🍁 Who knew a Cricket Sweater would be controversial?😂🙃🫣 Frumpy or a Stylish Casual Classic, what do you think? 🤔 Watch my short👇✨The Cricket Sweater styled different ways 🤩#ootd #shortvideo th-cam.com/users/shortsNQKXhkiQjVQ?feature=share
Super cute! It's a classic and looks fresh..imo Love your *old lady* video. Funny how pointing a finger, leaves 3 pointing at yourself. Styling yourself, updating and changing a 'stuck' wardrobe takes courage and screams youthful maturity. (Even deciding to celebrate gray hair) Thanks, funny how your 1st 3, my daughter,(43) just pointed out to me..😮
I think that I am 75 (today!) and have to laugh at this. I pay a good price for my sweaters, but lately have felt that the quality of the fabric is not as good as some of the older sweaters in my drawer. When I checked the labels, the older, more comfortable and better quality sweaters are 100% cotton. So, I went looking for 100% cotton; and they were not easy to find. Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger do make 100% cotton and many of he ones I found are striped and look like “cricket sweaters”. So, at 75, I am wearing cricket sweaters and I think they look fine, especially with jeans and my brand new penny loafers. Always classic and “preppy” even at 75; I don’t think it’s ever too late to go back to school. 😂
The styling is what brings the sweater into current vogue. The front tuck. The neutral pairing. The right accessories. Which just proves that old classics never die. They just show up every now and then with a new date! LOL
I am 74... I wear what makes me feel good, physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. I decided long ago to dress to please myself and not worry about what others think. I chose my own style having come to realize trying to please others or being concerned about what other people think keeps me from being authentic; life is too short to seek out and follow trends that in the long run are not going to give me the value I already have. Life is more fun once we make the determination to free ourselves from what others consider to be of value when it might not serve our hearts desire in the long run. However I can appreciate the need others have with regard to how they look to others when they're in the their 40s 50s or 60s even though I was preserved from having that mind battle myself.
I just wear what I want I don't care what people think. I like to have my stuff match that is just me. If people don't like what I wear they can turn the other way. I got judged by my own mother & those are the people that are critical.
My parents always looked amazing. I am 70, so I saw them wear Mad Men type outfits. I have one picture of my Mom in opera length gloves, a turban, a dress and hose and pumps and that was a daytime shopping trip. My Dad wore fabulous suits, custom shirts and alligator shoes. My style icons.
Very cool! I’m so glad we all have different tastes and preferences, makes life more fun for sure 💕 my suggestions were merely for those looking for tips and direction, certainly not for those already happy with their style. 😊 I thank you so much for tuning in and sharing this wonderful story with me!🧡🍁
I've been interested in fashion and style since I turned 14. I've always liked the feminine, sexy, flirty style and at 84, I'm receiving compliments from ladies as well as gentlemen. People appreciate and notice femininity!
Im 70! I wear a lot of gray. I used to wear black and bright colors. I feel happy in gray. I can add a scarf or turban to add color. I always dress for my comfort. I wear leggings with mini dresses, or wit long skirts.
Jewelry for me is a big part of my personal style. I have a large collection of vintage and modern jewelry and it doesn't matter if it's *in* or out. I am 68 and if someone feels my style in jewelry is *old* lady, thats fine. I put vintage pins on my jean jackets and hats. I have a black beret that looks cute with a pin. I don't feel I am frumpy in clothes that I wear. Like I can't wear sweatshirts with embroidery or otherwise grandma type embellishments. BTW I am a great-grandma x3. 😊 I dress for the situation. I am not a conservative dresser unless the occasion calls for it. I try not to dress too young but will add a trendy top or sweater to my outfits. Life is too short to conform. I do agree with almost all your suggestions for the most part. I have never cared what people think when it comes to fashion. Have fun with fashion.😊
Oh yes!! What a refreshing comment, I’m with you and love to have so much fun with my style … life’s too short to play everything so safe … have a great weekend! 🧚♀️❤️🐝
Absolutely! That sounds like an amazing collection! And in the end you should certainly do what makes YOU happy!🧡 These are merely suggestions for those that are looking for direction or wondering another’s perspective. Thank you for tuning in and commenting,I do appreciate it. 🌻😊
I love a brooch and frequently add them to my denim jackets or other coats. I've even added a cute pin to a dress and it looked great. I agree, I would never wear the old grandma type embroidered sweatshirts lol even though I am a grandma in my 60's. We can look modern and cute and also add a touch of personal style.
Just found your channel. Great tips. I think Talbots and Chico’s that cater to an older audience have matronly clothes but show them on thinner models so they look pretty good. Love that you showed women of all sizes and ages
Yay welcome!💕 Oh they definitely do that…but really all the designers do it too. Especially lately with all the oversized clothing, I don’t think people like when I say it, but it’s true, a super tall model can literally wear anything and look stylish…I see it all the time and think, no normal person could wear anything close to that!🤣 all marketing.🙃
You’re right. See my comment about. I’m sized out of both Chicos and Talbots because their smallest size, size 2 regular, it too big. I’m 5’4” tall weight 106 petite is too “short” everywhere! I buy the leggings 2 regular and get the waist taken in. Talbots has good quality so I buy their stiff. I’m 67 and don’t look like most women my age. My earlobes don’t sag. If you are in your 40s the best thing you can do is start bio identical hormones. Find a doctor that specializes in this. Your regular GP won’t have a clue
@@lisaaustin4561 I’m 68 and recently changed OB-GYN. Dr won’t prescribe HRT due to my age 😮 and that I’m a new patient. Where do you get your bio id hormones and how long have you been on them, if I may ask? Thanks!
OK I never tell my age I don’t lie I’m 74 and I just found your channel and I love it I’ve read so many of what people are saying on here and I for one don’t want to look 20 but I don’t want to look old either, I set in a room with people, my age and older, and honestly they all looked at the carbon copy with the gray hair and just the way they dressed and then I saw somebody who’s three years younger with her high heels and classy classy look at how much better so I want to look classy. I don’t wanna look old I want to look the best I can I like your ideas they give me room for thought. To be the best I can. Remember, I think you’re so right about the jewelry. Remember, Coco Chanel said on your way out look in the mirror and take one item off.
I think it’s about how you are raised. The women in my family were always wearing the latest fashions. My mom is 70 and she loves her sketchers and track suits . I am 50 and I just brought a suit my 23 year old niece just brought. We all look fabulous
I’m very proud that I’ve officially reached old lady status. I’ve grown in my silver streaked salt and pepper hair, and became a grandmother. But I try not to dress like one. I wear whatever I want while paying closest attention to proportions and fabric quality.
Your hair looks beautiful 😍 the “old lady” term is a look that I have in my mind. For instance if I talk to you about a teen or a mother, an image may come to your mind, that doesn’t mean there’s only one right answer, but you have an image to those words. It isn’t meant to be negative, it’s just a certain look. Definitely, aging is a blessing!🧡 I hope that all women care to do little things to their look and style everyday to feel their best.😊
Oh my gosh I just googled her, I didn’t know about her. She passed on in March this year, may her soul rest in peace 🙏🏽 I am glad to see she lived her life not conforming to people’s opinion of her, people are too critical and yet we are all created to be different.
You are absolutely correct! My mother was so pretty and always took pride in her appearance. She got compliments wherever she went, but that was not her intent. She was just a very classy lady! And I try to also take care of myself and dress as if I like myself. Love your channel. ❤
Your suggestions for adjusting clothing choices are very interesting and valid observations. I’m 75 next week and I like to be stylish, so although I’m slim and fit, there are age related changes I have and continue to make so I look and feel comfortable and appropriate. Where I bristle a bit is the expression of “looking like an old lady”, inferring that being old is an undesirable stage of life. Perhaps words like frumpy, outdated etc. that refer to the style, not our age would be more appropriate. I sense you’re a very kind person who would not intend to diminish anyone by using age in a negative way. I hope you get what I’m trying to say with kindness and respect for your work.
Completely understand what you’re conveying. 🙂 thank you so much for putting it so well. I can choose different words. I certainly don’t think there’s an age that’s old, merely a look. And growing older is such a blessing for sure!🌻🧡 thank you so much for tuning in and commenting!
The words "old lady" don't bother me either, in fact makes me smile; I just don't like them used to stand for something negative (frumpy etc). We old ladies are great🤓 x
After writing a long comment and hearing your last comment. 'Old lady' thats a great phrase...I'm an old lady embracing grey hair , sagging throat etc. Enjoying my age. Being me and grateful to the Lord. I love fashion, styles colours and being who you are now. Your suggestions and obervations are so helpful , thankyou. So let us women not use derogatory words to describe ourselves. Its not helpful.
Of course being blessed to age is wonderful. 🧡I was referring to a look. For instance when we discuss a teenager, you have an image in your mind of a typical teenager, although there are some out of the box that aren’t what you’d expect and can be common these days… or a mother, or a model, or a person with certain illnesses. We all imagine a typical look when describing a stage in life, it isn’t meant derogatory, it’s to explain/describe.😊 I do appreciate you sharing your thoughts and perspectives as well.
@@StylishandGrateful The difference is that the word Teenager is not derogatory, this is the first of your videos that I have watched and I won't be back.
@@laurenmcconomy6742I’m 70+ and often people think my 53 yr old daughter is my mom. She looks exactly like her dad’s grandma. You cannot control 🧬 your DNA. It’s more important to focus on health, exercise and skin care. There are 1000’s of styles to choose from and having a younger person call you old is actually hilarious. Karma is such a bitch. She’ll learn. I think learning more about life and style might help this channel but I won’t be back. There are other channels that know so much more about style and wear it well.
I’m 60. I almost exclusively wear Zara. There are lots of exceptions to your suggestions. There are some beautiful matching tops and bottoms and skirt suits in right now. MIDI and Maxi skirts or dresses can look very stylish. I spend a lot of time in Europe and women there are so stylish and break most of your rules. THe women look amazing. They also tend to be thinner than Americans which makes a huge difference. I usually check with my 30yr old daughter to see if something looks good or bad on me. So far, she approves. I’ll never dress “my age” as long as I have an option.
Totally agree with all of this 🥰 there certainly aren’t any hard set rules, just a few suggestions that I’ve learned along the way, that I hope may help someone else.😉 So glad that you tuned in and left this great comment and also your own perspective!🧡🍁
Agree. I live in France. Women here, and throughout Western Europe, dress very differently than Americans. 'Fashion trending' isn't a big thing. Chic ,classic style is our mantra. I dress in a way that suits me and makes me feel confident. I don't care what people feel about it. I prefer maxi and midi dress lengths. Personally, I can't abide shorter styles on me, They feel frumpy and aging. I'm 61, and far from old yet 😁
I wear turtlenecks. I have a dozen cashmere turtlenecks and many more in other materials. It gets to -30° F here in the winter, and I start wearing them as soon as the temperature hits freezing at night. I'm 68, for reference. Honestly, my fashion icon from 20 years ago was a white-haired lady who lived on my street; I never saw her in anything but a black turtleneck and black pants, and she looked fabulous. Another thing I'll never give up are my tweed jackets, but none of them are that Chanel style tweed. Most of them are very subtle herringbone blazers. I honestly don't care if people think I'm old - I am! In fact, I wish people would take me for the age I am, since they usually think I'm in my 40s. I have an old body, feeling it 24/7, and it irks me when people expect me to do things that I could do 20 years ago, but now it's just not happening.
You sound amazing! I totally understand what you’re saying and agree 100% 💕Each of us are unique, so it’s tough for everyone to follow a small set of “rules”. My tips are only for those interested, wondering, or seeking direction.😊 Everyone should ultimately do whatever makes them feel good.🍁🧡 Thank you so much for tuning in and for the great comment, I really appreciate your input!!🙂
I loooove fitted turtle necks and mock necks..I feel it makes people look effortlessly chic. ( most of the time). Im sad that I moved to the South from New England and I cant wear them as often.
I totally agree! I like to keep my neck warm. I have about 20 T-necks in all kinds of colors and wear them October to March. I also think they can be versatile...dress up with a fancy vest or dress down with just a sweater.
After years of looking at my teachers, having a mom who was a teacher, as soon as I became a teacher I knew the poor kids had to look at me all day so that affected my style. I wore colors, but I always was conscious that I wanted my outfits to inspire respect. My basic uniform was blazers/jackets and slacks or nice sweaters and slacks or dressier jeans. Never ruined any clothes and was on the floor with kids every day.
Your students probably were inspired by your style. Paloma Picasso said that the greatest piece of art is a well dressed woman. I always try to dress accordingly. I have an alternative style so I try for a classic hip look.
After reading some comments: here's my deal- I'm 70, retired from my career last year and am now pouring previous energy into what I want to do now. Hopefully I have long since stopped caring what the hip trends are, but know what makes me happy and feel good to wear. HOWEVER I love learning and this is so helpful with information that I find positive and good to know. Thank you so much for putting this together! Valuable insights with info that anyone can use (or NOT use.) I was used to doing a lot of research myself with my job so I appreciate your work and presentation.
Also our haircuts and home furnishing can age us. I recently learned our old faux flower arrangements are so dated. So I loving suggest you ditch the flowers on your dresser and opt for a green arrangement ie: eucalyptus or sage leaves look great in matte pottery . Wardrobe tips spot on.
It’s a guest room, collecting my kiddos old bedroom styles. I actually am not into redecorating my house regularly. But I do like old fashioned home styles. Thank you for your suggestion and for tuning in and commenting.😊🌻
I can remember when old dried eucalyptus branches were all the rage in the late 70s - 80s, I can still smell them now in the craft and floral store called Jo-bell’s. So all of this stuff goes out and comes back in style. I dread when that old gold/orangey tones come back in. In fact I’m already starting to see it, and after lots of people have spent out and decorated in dull grays, now they will have to buy all new again to stay in style.
Those fake flower arrangements have never been stylish in Belgium, maybe even in the whole of Europe. But that fabric thing on the dresser or ‘armoire’ or what is de correct name is REALLY Old Lady in my humble opinion 😊.
The matching top and bottom pyjama look is so fun and not going out of style anytime soon, classy and elegant for all ages, very surprising you mentioned this as ageing. I am 60s and received so many compliments with this elegant look 🤔
Like every “rule” there’s exceptions for sure. 😊 If it looks great on you and you love it, totally rock it! 🌻 thank you for sharing your experience and for watching my channel I really appreciate it!🧡🍁
At our age (I’m a young 66) style is relative I don’t shop at Chicos or Coldwater Creek, or Talbots. (This is “old” to me! ) I watch young fashion influencers and adapt my style. If my 30 yr old nieces wouldn’t wear it, I’m not. I don’t let my belly or love handles stick out of midrise jeans,(I’m loving the high waisted wide leg style for my body type,) so glad “skinny jeans “ are out!! Classic items are a good choice for anyone. Sometimes a small touch of leopard somewhere is great, shoes, a pair of earrings, a tank. Younger people in my family actually ask MY advice on outfits! And, as others have said, it’s all about embracing your age. I know I don’t look 40, but I could probably still pass for 55! But I love saying my age out loud, I don’t get the lying about it, people know by other signs anyway we aren’t really fooling anyone! We need to be ourselves & chances are if you had no style when you were younger, you don’t have style now. But, that’s fine too!
My mom stayed very stylish and age appropriate well into her 80's. So much so that young people complimented her often. I dress using a lot of rules out of her playbook. Thanks for the tips.❤😊
With black or white it’s timeless 😉I appreciate you sharing your perspective. My videos are meant to offer suggestions and ideas for those looking for inspiration. Fashion is a personal choice, and it's all about expressing your unique style. I respect everyone's right to make their own fashion decisions.
Women who were raised matching colors care more about their appearance than the youthful females who are so against matchy-matchy. The misogenistic trend became wearing mismatched clothes that make women look unknowlegeable and hideous. (BTW, I'm a designer.)
I think you are right on target with these tips! A super matchy outfit, especially in pastels or prints really scream "old lady". Also those matronly, boxy skirt suits! Yuk! Great video!❤
Seriously. By the time you got done it’s like what can I wear. I have always LOVED big chunky jewelry has been a part of my style. I have a fabulous black mink pillbox. It’s vintage. I can wear it instead of aVeiling for Mass. I love the look of long skirts with a red and lots of jewelry. I love beads…excess boho look is me and I constantly get compliments. I am 71 and everyone who does not know is stunned. I’m told I look 55 to 60. Much of fashion, style is putting together a look that is uniquely you then head up shoulders back and a beaming smile. CONFIDENCE is everything.
I work in a shoe store with mainly women's footwear. Recently I have been noticing how well women of all ages who come in are dressing. Maybe Covid has had some part in this with being stuck at home looking at videos like this because post Covid a lot of women have really upped their game in how they are putting their outfits together - it's fabulous to see and they really look like they're enjoying what they're wearing. Thank you for your honesty and courage to bring this video out in a very sympathetic way 🙂
Oh I love to hear this! That’s so wonderful! It really does make a difference on someone’s own self esteem and how others treat you. The shine a woman has when she feels good definitely radiates 😊 thank you so much for sharing this lovely comment and for tuning in!🧡🌻
Thank you. I love your content here as well as friendly presentation. As the “heat” of aging increased I changed from turtle necks to silk scarves. Still warm when you need it and you can adjust according to your needs.
There is nothing wrong with looking one's age. Just wear well cut items that flatter your shape and make you feel good when you look in the mirror. I hope I never look "hip" again.
102 year old Iris Apfel breaks all the rules. She wears bold colors, lots of ruffles, tons of jewelry, and is a super famous icon because of it!! Check her out... Her large floral prints are over the top, she wears all the thinner people say not to wear as a mature lady. I love that she has stepped out of the mold. She even has her own rug collection now with her signature bold designs.
Ok...I get it. Absolutely. I'm 55+ and I want to look stylish, but recognize that I'm not always going to please everyone. You know (me thinking out loud here), there is a certain freedom to being older. I worried so much in my 20s, 30s, and 40s about what people thought of me if I wore certain things that were too big, too small, too slouchy. I worried about being too big, too short, etc. You get what I'm saying. I recognize the value of altering things that are currently on trend to fit our changing bodies. We want to look good and feel good, but darn it! I don't want to care sometimes, lol. It should be about how it makes you feel. 'Old lady' has such a negative connotation, doesn't it? It is what it is. What I think I look like in my mind is different from what I see in the mirror, and perhaps starting with being kind to each other is where we begin. I'm still learning to be kind to myself because you know it's hard not to find negativity out there every day. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and great ideas.
Totally understand.😊 my intentions were to help those looking for direction or my perspectives, it’s not for everyone certainly. Just what I’ve found and realized over time. I think we’re just in an age range where we’re not young and not old and finding the proper balance of style and comfort can be challenging, so hopefully this helps whoever needs it and those that don’t need it were at least entertained 😉🌻 thank you for sharing your thoughts and perspectives as well!🧡
I love what you said in this comment . . I like the way I feel being kind. My days feel more bouncy and light when I'm friendly and kind to those around me. Being nice to myself has taken a long time to achieve and I'm still a work in progress . . My favorite thing to say to myself when I'm not nice to myself is " we're not talking like that anymore' Anyway, I just wanted to tell you I like what you had to say Peace ✌️
Kindness is a key word In your response. I agree, I try to not hurt people's eyes but my comfort and freedom of choice to express myself in what I wear. Getting closer to heaven where I hope I have a beautiful white caftan😂 67yo
I appreciate your comments & ideas I don't want to look matronly or frumpy one big thing I've learned recently is about crop pants they don't hit the legs at a good spot as I live in the desert where summers get to 115° it's hard when u don't want to wear shorts going out if you could do a video on that it would be great I think bermudas shorts are coming back thanks for your video ❤❤
Great ideas, thank you. I'm guilty of wearing clothes too big. I see comments about not caring after "a certain age". I care because I'm not happy with what I see in the mirror and appreciate advice. It's about ME being happy not everyone else. So thank you!
When I was in my teens back in the late 70’s/early 80’s, older women used to often wear clear plastic kerchiefs over their newly set hair. I remember my best friend and I wondering why women would choose to go out in public looking like that. We were a bit afraid that we’d reach a certain age and suddenly wearing plastic kerchiefs would become a viable option. We swore to one another that we’d never do it. We’re pushing 60 now and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be an issue. The wearing of plastic kerchiefs has become a thing of the past as that generation has passed on.
Haha, neat story, love it! Thank you for sharing🧡 So I guess this is my own version of yours. I’m sure as the years roll by my opinions and perspectives will change, I think everyone’s should with more life experiences. So glad you commented✨😊
If you walk with a cane, and carry your belongings in a purse, you have no hand left for an umbrella. Either your hair is ruined, or you wear a rain hat.
I love your advice. I've always avoided the Miami Beach cougar look: animal print head to toe, too much clanging jewelry, severe make-up, dark dark suntan. I prefer a softer look. I'm 70 and I follow the same rules as the ones you suggest. And I still get looks and comments on my style from younger people. Keep up the great advice!!
I have a genuine passion for fashion and a keen eye for style. I stay updated with the latest fashion trends, experiment with different styles, and have a strong understanding of what looks good and feels comfortable. My personal interest in fashion allows me to appreciate and recognize the subtleties and creativity within the field. 😉
This is your show and Im totally entertained by it. I do believe women over 40 can still rock a lot of the “trends” 👏🏼🤷🏻♀️ you just have to know how to modify for your body type.
When I was young, I thought by now I would be wearing elastic waist stretch pants and sweatshirts with Peter Pan collars, cat heads on the front cat backsides on the reverse. What a hoot! :) I'll never be that "old".
I was 76 November 13. I have always dressed very feminine and classic. I ran a huge business for 45 years, and had to be stylish. Today, during the day when I’m not looking after our properties here in South Florida, I wear skinny jeans and a pretty top, and have a cardigan in case I’m in air conditioning. At night, I always wear DolceGabbana midi-length dresses (not the crap you see in magazines today like KK wears). I have many of their classic evening and also luncheon dresses, all mid-length because I’m thin and 5’5” tall and the longer length makes me taller, since I’ve lost probably 3” due to being hit from behind 3 times with crushed vertebrae in spine and neck. I am lucky that my body hasn’t really changed, but I take care of myself. I agree with others who say nobody really cares what you are wearing. I just came back from a two week cruise on Oceania Riviera in the Mediterranean. My sister and I were the only two who dressed every night, wore high heels and evening purses and jewelry. We could have cared less that other people were not as dressed. We dressed as WE always dress, and I’m not about to step it down because others are either too lazy or ill-informed as to how a lady should dress. Now I’m ready for everyone to jump on me, but as one lady said, I don’t care. I earned it!
You are right! I watch Marie Anne Lecouer on TH-cam. She is French chic and just a lovely, classy older lady. I’m 70 and always try to look classy; like I like myself! ❤
Well done video, Liz! I peeked at a few comments, most of which are along the same theme as on other similarly themed channels. I am 64 and of the same mindset - I will wear what I like and what makes me feel good, whatever anyone thinks. Having said that - I also think most of us want to leave a good impression, especially with strangers. I have met many women who brag about not caring, to the point of looking like they made an effort to look like an unkempt slob Maybe there is a fine line between not caring about what others think and not caring about oneself. I grew up in a very rural part of the Northeast and we were far from "well-off". My mother did not have the latest styles or a closet full of beautiful clothes, but she was always neat and tidy, dressed as best she could and never left the house without lipstick. She was stunning.
Thank you!🌻 I enjoy heating others opinions and thoughts on fashion, it’s at least some good for thought!😉 Your mother sounds like she was classy 🌺 Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts.
Amen! I know that some of the items on your list seem obvious but thank you for the reminder. Sometimes we forget that aging gracefully does not mean being trendy.
I think all of these tips are spot on. One thing I have come to realize (I'm 68 - for reference) is that mature women are much "thicker" than younger women. What looks good from the front can be really unflattering from the side or back view. I think a tutorial on selecting fashions that flatter older women in 3D vs 2D would be really a great subject.
Great video Liz really amazing information if you are worried about your neck when you wear a button down or v neck you can wear a twilly scarf the silk or satin type to hide your neck a little bit and the pleated pant the ones that usually cause the tummy issues the pleat starts to open up right from the waistband which then if you have a bit of a lower tummy can open up from the waistband making your tummy look bigger than it is either check before you buy them that the pleat stays together until it's at least halfway two thirds of the way between your waistband and your hip that way it doesn't open at the top of your tummy if you have pairs already that start at the waistband just fold that pleat sew along it so it opens up lower down and then you can wear those trousers and them be flattering too instead of get rid of them hope this helps someone 🥰
I LOVED the pictures of the models wearing the 'matchy matchy' co-ordinating clothes , in the same colours and fabrics. It looks so stylish, 'put together' and FAR from matronly! As a hater of skirts ( I'm a BIG dress fan. Which is weird as , when i was younger, I NEVER wore dresses) I do agree with the skirt suit. Im not such a lover of them, unless it's a chic, well-cut and designed flowy cut. I love v neck tops. If I do wear a higher, round neckline I accessorise with a chunky, dramatic necklace to 'alter ' the visual appearance. Ultimately, if clothes make you feel good, ladies, wear them. Say NO to the so-called rules. And Subtle shoulder pads balance out the body
What matters to me personally is my health and my heart and soul. It’s great if people are looking for advice about what to wear or not wear. But being in my mid 60’s, I just want to wear what’s comfortable to me and not worry about what others are thinking or saying.
Right! I stay with the basics and the classic style which is timeless for young ladies and older ladies. For example the nice sweater you have on is timeless. Navy and white stripes.
I think a lot of us refer to pre internet days and think we need to take what is convenient and close, but with some research and patience there’s a lot of choices these days for sure!🌻😊
I love my big sweatshirts.I live in Boston wear them about 70 percent of the year. Being comfortable .and saving money on clothes is way more important to me than what anybody thinks of me.
What really ages people is having the same haircut for decades, especially from the 80s. Some older ladies like the teased, poufy look, and that is their right. It ages their look, however.
🤔 I do see your point. I personally don’t see many old fashioned hairstyles, but I’m sure they’re out there!😂 Definitely changing up your DO is a must!🌻🧡 Thank you for your comment!😊
I let my hair go silver back in 2015. It softens my face. I grew tired of having color touch ups all the time. However a good cut and style is important if one chooses that option or not. I like to change the style at least every couple of years. Since it is coarse l have to make sure it is healthy and shiny. My stylist has promised never to give me an old lady cut.😅
@@sheila8730I've seen it where natural gray hair actually makes someone better looking, because it makes undereye shadows, etc., far less noticeable. My hair is taking its own sweet time going gray, but I'm not dying it.
The one unequivocally great thing about reaching "that certain age" is that one no longer needs to care quite so much what others think of one's choices. I can remember being a teen and crying myself to sleep because a mean girl told me I looked "too skinny" for my chosen attire. Now at 60 I wear whatever I want and though I wouldn't wear clothes that don't flatter my figure, I'm certainly not going to avoid wearing something that somebody might - oh, the horror! - deem "too young" for me.
Great observations! Maxi skirts can be very chic when paired with a heel of some sort. Flats make them look more matronly to me in addition to not balancing the top like you mentioned.
I always wear maxi skirts with flats, but then I always wear flats, never been able to wear heels, even when young, and they always feel frumpy on me when I try to wear. I am 5ft 9in tall, and find that my shorter friends can wear them better than me. I go for slinky flat sling backs for instance or sexy sandals or even white trainers. If the other things you wear are not frumpy, for instance, a vee neck tee instead of shirt (which I find feels frumpy on me) I think flat shoes looks fine.
I always appreciate tips on how to look stylish! I take advice in the vein it is given , in your case trying to help me look better. I don’t have to use all of the advise, I can just file it away! My favorite shoe brand is Vionic. They have so many styles and the cutest boots. The arch support is wonderful. They are on the $$-$$$ side but so worth it! My favorite store to shop at is WHBM. I am 61 and their clothing fits me so well and I stick to the classics. I have trouble finding a good fit at Chico’s and Talbots. I also love SOMA for undergarments and sleep wear. Thank you for the video!
Exactly how I wish all would 😉 Thank you so much Carolyn!💕 I’ve never tried that shoe brand 🤔 I’ll need to look into it. I love whbm as well! Always so many classy items to choose from and they don’t require special washing and ironing! I feel about the same with the other brands you mentioned as well, but I keep trying anyway because I’ve found a few amazing pieces there over the years. Thank you so much for tuning in and this thoughtful comment!🧡🍁
Straight leg and bootcut are the best. Bootcut is my personal favorite, but I like (and wear) straight leg, too. I like wide leg, but must find the right one for me.
I’m 70 and I agree with your suggestions, however that sweater and jeans outfit you are wearing is the exact outfit I remember my old boss wearing in the 80s. I think for some reason it makes you look outdated….just my opinion
It’s certainly a classic. 80s for sure, and they’re coming back, very Princess Diana😊 in my opinion with that sweater. But, I paired it with wide leg denim and boots for a modern twist. I should’ve added my outfit of the day to this video, didn’t know this one video was going to explode like it did.😉 but thank you for tuning in and sharing your opinion as well.🧡🍁
Instead of talking and explaning in so many words wby no show pictures what are u taking about. Its self centered presentations. More of you pictures and not much examples. Pictures speaks louder than Thousands. words.
I had very few things and always bought high-quality so I'm all set for life by the time I graduated high school so I'm going to wear what I damn well please and that means all my high quality clothing that I had by the time I left High School😊
It is strange, and terribly sad, that someone would get deeply offended by advice being given to them free of charge, and by their choice. If you apologised once you did so at least 3 times. It was my choice to click on the thumbnail, to watch the video and continue watching. Most presenters on TH-cam are making thee constant dicslaimers. It should not be necessary. Your advice ranged over a number of issues - so what if I don't like 1 or 2 of them, or even all of them. I enjoyed what you had to say. Won't take on board a number of them and will look at some issues I have. My final say - what i wrong with being eccentric? At the age of nearly 70 I can wear purple, I can show my creased neck and wrinkled hands. Live and enjoy fashion.
Thank you Dorothy! People just take things as personal attacks sometimes, but you’re right, this is just one persons opinion.😊 I was merely giving advice that’s helped me, that MAY help others. Take what you want and leave what you don’t. 😎 I certainly wouldn’t want every woman in the world to dress like me, it’s good we’re ALL different!😊🧡 Thank you so much for tuning in and commenting!!🌻
I really appreciate this. Of course we can all make our own decisions, but I do feel like I’m not out and about as much as I was when I was younger and I love getting input like this.
Your suggestions are very good, even though I personally think that what makes you look younger is how confident you are in whichever clothes you like, and of course, your demeanor. Most of the time, unless I have a business meeting, I wear still the same black alt-punkish cloths I've worn since my youth, and people are usually surprised when I tell them I'm 58. Those clothes should make me look like an old, out-of-time wanna-be, but apparently they don't, because they are "me", I'm comfortable in them, and I don't care about people's opinion of me any more now than I did before. I guess that's... youthening? 🤪 But thank you for doing these videos. You're providing a wonderful service! ❤️
That’s awesome! And yes if you can rock it, totally do it! My suggestions were more for those looking for direction and to advise against some of the trends that, in my opinion can age us. 😊Thank you so much for commenting and sharing your perspective I love hearing how women live are living their best!😎🧡
I am 63, and I appreciate your tips! I could live for 30 more years, so why give up fashion now! Nothing crazy, just looking classy and avoiding the worst fashion mistakes!… Thank you for this video! 👏💕
I am 65 and I remember thinking older ladies wore granny style clothes ..but I don't think they had the choice or access to clothes like we do as we have online shopping not just a local store 🎉
Absolutely! You are so right! That’s why no one needs to dress frumpy these days, regardless of actual age, there’s so many choices and price points and advice so easily available for all. But I think we all have a few outfits in mind we think of as “granny style”…. I’m still looking for the correct words to get my point across without being offensive in any way. 🌻 Thank you so much for sharing and tuning in.😊🧡
Sincerely I am a little bite tired of all this clothing advice. I am a French woman 11:38 64 and the best way is to be you , feelings confident in your clothe and in your skin . And each time I see a woman in my age with a personal style , I love it. The must important encourage woman to be free … sure this video can helping some women but if you love something kee it and enjoy it ❤
Absolutely! 💕 But you have to know some people do like tips, advice, and another perspective. I certainly love hearing different ideas and tips that I can incorporate. I think you never stop learning, growing, and evolving. Thank you so much for tuning in and sharing your perspective, love it!🌸😊
Love this, thank you. It's always good to have an opinion from someone on the outside looking in.... I have moved into my 50s now. Every decade I feel like I have to learn how to dress all over again. I've just always tried to dress age appropriate. I am almost 52, I'm allowed to have some grays and some lines. I don't think at this point I'm going to hide it. When I was young I always admired older women that just looked put together. I didn't expect them to look like me, an 18 year old. I admired a classy, put together look. I also like the older ladies who can wear trendy stuff, but you better have the personality to match it. I'd like to see a video on more casual looks, because I don't go out in jackets. I live in the south. I don't have a corporate job. My church is casual. The only time I would ever worry about these styles is an occasional wedding, funeral or party. I also hate jeans, the are too hot and uncomfortable to me.
Completely agree 😊🌻 I’m only 45 so at this point I am still trying to hide some things, but aging will continue to come if I’m blessed and lucky 🍀 I’m totally ok with it. The women around me age naturally and gracefully, I have no issue doing so as well.🧡 my style, I’d describe as classy casual. I do have lookbooks to come! Thank you so much for tuning in and commenting ✨🍁
Very interesting - just remember that fashions (and your taste) change over the years 😊 what makes you think that your advice is definitive for all times ❤
Absolutely 😉 these are my tips and perspectives I’ve found helpful up to this point…. Stay tuned as they may change 🙃 thank you for tuning in and providing your opinions at this time as well 🌻😊
As a hairdresser, I am standing up, on my feet, from 5am till 9 pm at night, so I wear a quarter inch heel, at the highest, which is great foot support. Happy feet, happy hairdresser.
Oh my, yes! I don’t know how you ladies do it, that’s a taxing job. But we all appreciate you! I do cringe when I see the young gals in 3inch heels, I’m like ohhh that’s going to be painful 4 hours in. I’ve never been able to wear really high heels for very long, couldn’t imaging to work for hours! There’s too many cute shoes to be in pain. Thank you so much for this comment and for tuning in😊🧡
My first video of yours. I'm in my 60's and a grandma but don't want to look like one. I always try to look modern and stylish. Hoping to see more videos like this one where you are teaching and not selling. Not a fan of influencers who are constantly doing hauls and encouraging mindless consumerism.
Thank you for tuning in Kimberly and for the feedback. 🧡My hauls are items I’M looking for and share, not random items I’d never consider, just to sell. 😊🌻But I am trying to include more lookbooks and tips videos. I love doing those, although they’re much more controversial, I’ve learned😉🙃
New subscriber. I’m 56 and struggle with moving into a more mature look. Love your tips here. Thanks and I’ll be watching back on some recent episodes. I also like how many examples you show in this video. 🎉 I recently purchased a long grey sweater / sweatshirt type skirt and also a cream fitted leather blazer. Would love some ideas about how to style these, for a short person.
Hi Brenda!🌻 Welcome, so glad to have you! Oh those two new pieces sound so lovely! I do have a skirt lookbook on my TO DO list and I always love leather for fall, so it’s usually sprinkled throughout my looks. I think both of these pieces you have can go with so many things! Stay tuned! Thank you for tuning in and commenting. 🧡😊
I am 70 next year, living in UK and would not dream of wearing any of the frumpy clothes you mention, so not sure who would? I do love a maxi skirt, but narrow cut and worn with tee shirt in summer, but then I am 5ft 9in and I can often buy the ones that are on sale as many ladies are too short to wear them. I used to wear gold finish jewellery, but feel that looks a bit old lady now, so prefer silver and more streamlined, modern stuff, only one item usually, although maybe a silver bangle and earrings if going out in the evening. I live in a cold, windswept area, so always on the lookout for modern cut, warm coats, like puffers, cut well, often at a bargain price in TK Maax!
Very honest recommendations & a way to update your look w/o breaking your bank account! We all need to get rid of out of date food & clothes, less is more. 😊❤️
I still have some clothes from the 80ies and the style is back in fashion. I would suggest to be careful when you sort out clothes. You might regret it.
I shop at thrift stores. I never buy anything that looks worn out or damaged, & people always think that my clothes are brand new & expensive. Especially if you like to wear a trend but don’t want to spend a lot of money
First time watching your videos, so enjoyed and agree with everything you said , we can look updated and still look good, but our age, I'm 71 and really enjoy any tips, thanks from South of England Great Britain
Awe thank you so much Marilyn!💕 I appreciate your comment so much!😊 It’s really just little tweaks that are key. I’m really glad you liked the video thank you so much for popping in!🍁🧡
Lol! You are fun! 🎉 This has been great! New subscriber! We really do have to look at ourselves with love❤️ At 70 i decided i need turtlenecks back in my life-- yes jawline is sagging but the knit (not worn tightly!) is so fun to wear (styling hair right is also important). I don’t need a scarf for the cold as often -and the 🐢 helps hide other things the aging neck presents us with😂 Best fashion accessory is a big smile so keep those teeth healthy! 😊
Ahhh good points. 😊I used to absolutely love turtlenecks under 40, but recently I’m having some excess sugar skin sag🫣 so a bit earlier I think because of my poor diet and too much Sun🙃 I do like one, but not too tight and not too loose…. for me it highlights the issue, so just thought I’d share in case. I’ve kind of replaced them with scarves myself….. but I’m ALWAYS open to try again! I’m so glad you found me and welcome!!🌸 Thank you for the lovely comment!!🍁🧡
As an influencer myself, especially for Fifties and older (I'm 65) I cannot stress enough that the number one piece of clothing we should concentrate on is our foundation. It is so important to get fitted for a new bra or even measure ourselves from time to time. Weight, surgery, age all of these means our bust level and width and our cup size will change. Also watch the size of panties. I believe we should always wear cotton because it's breathable and discourages bacteria and is also cooler and softer to the touch. Watch the panty lines girls, and perhaps choose your new size in various styles to suit what you wear. Once we have our foundation we can see how different styles will look on us. Also, try not to buy prints, large or small, they give off a matronly vibe. Instead buy the basic colors, black, navy blue and white. If you want a touch of color wear a pretty silk scarf as a necktie and choose a color that brightens your face. No more cropped pants from now on. They are out of style and they shorten the leg. Wear everything at the Ankle or slightly over the shoe. Hope this helps. These tips I have learned from other women. Thank you for the video. 😊
You're definitely right about making sure your undergarments fit. For a better fitting bra go for a bigger letter, not a bigger number. Get the girls up and in!!
I replaced my much loved iPad mini with a similar version of yours and it is definitely heavier. I play tennis and started to get hand pain and I thought it was because of tennis but I soon realized it was carpal tunnel from holding the heavier iPad. As soon as I started to hold it in a way that doesn’t put a lot of pressure on my hand the pain went away. I am enjoying your style advice. 🌸
Ohh wow, that’s good to know! I never had a mini so I’m used to the weight. I tried tennis, that’s a tough sport! I definitely admire those that stick with it! Thank you for tuning in and commenting.💕🌻
😂 … not what I was saying exactly. 🤔I did kind of mention instead, to just choose ONE piece and not the whole set. The stores like to sell and people like easy options, that’s the issue. Thank you for watching and commenting!!🧡🍁
Liz, you are KILLING it with your videos……I am glad to see you continuing to offer a lot of content in each video, they are chock full of information and I am always entertained and informed. Thank you!
🧡How to Wear It🍁
Who knew a Cricket Sweater would be controversial?😂🙃🫣 Frumpy or a Stylish Casual Classic, what do you think? 🤔 Watch my short👇✨The Cricket Sweater styled different ways 🤩#ootd #shortvideo

I love your sweater and kept thinking I need a sweater like that.
Super cute!
It's a classic and looks fresh..imo
Love your *old lady* video.
Funny how pointing a finger, leaves 3 pointing at yourself.
Styling yourself, updating and changing a 'stuck' wardrobe takes courage and screams youthful maturity.
(Even deciding to celebrate gray hair)
Thanks, funny how your 1st 3, my daughter,(43)
just pointed out to me..😮
You talk too much and you are boring!!
I think that I am 75 (today!) and have to laugh at this. I pay a good price for my sweaters, but lately have felt that the quality of the fabric is not as good as some of the older sweaters in my drawer. When I checked the labels, the older, more comfortable and better quality sweaters are 100% cotton. So, I went looking for 100% cotton; and they were not easy to find. Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger do make 100% cotton and many of he ones I found are striped and look like “cricket sweaters”. So, at 75, I am wearing cricket sweaters and I think they look fine, especially with jeans and my brand new penny loafers. Always classic and “preppy” even at 75; I don’t think it’s ever too late to go back to school. 😂
The styling is what brings the sweater into current vogue. The front tuck. The neutral pairing. The right accessories. Which just proves that old classics never die. They just show up every now and then with a new date! LOL
I am 74... I wear what makes me feel good, physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. I decided long ago to dress to please myself and not worry about what others think. I chose my own style having come to realize trying to please others or being concerned about what other people think keeps me from being authentic; life is too short to seek out and follow trends that in the long run are not going to give me the value I already have. Life is more fun once we make the determination to free ourselves from what others consider to be of value when it might not serve our hearts desire in the long run. However I can appreciate the need others have with regard to how they look to others when they're in the their 40s 50s or 60s even though I was preserved from having that mind battle myself.
You sound amazing!🤩 Just some people appreciate direction, but yes feeling good is number one💕
Right! doesn't matter what to wear as long as it's presentable!
I just wear what I want I don't care what people think. I like to have my stuff match that is just me. If people don't like what I wear they can turn the other way. I got judged by my own mother & those are the people that are critical.
76 feel same
Right on!
The truth. I admire women who show their own taste and don’t compromise with fashion. I hope I am like that when I get older. 74😂
Knowing I look good is the most healthy and uplifting feeling! Looking classy is fun.
Not every woman makes it to "old lady." OLD is not a disease it's a BLESSING.
Absolutely 🌻
Amen!
True, but that isn't the subject of this video.
My parents always looked amazing. I am 70, so I saw them wear Mad Men type outfits. I have one picture of my Mom in opera length gloves, a turban, a dress and hose and pumps and that was a daytime shopping trip. My Dad wore fabulous suits, custom shirts and alligator shoes. My style icons.
Very cool! I’m so glad we all have different tastes and preferences, makes life more fun for sure 💕 my suggestions were merely for those looking for tips and direction, certainly not for those already happy with their style. 😊 I thank you so much for tuning in and sharing this wonderful story with me!🧡🍁
What you described your Mom wearing sounds wonderful, I am 62? And I am going to get me a pair of Opera Length gloves to wear !!!
I've been interested in fashion and style since I turned 14. I've always liked the feminine, sexy, flirty style and at 84, I'm receiving compliments from ladies as well as gentlemen. People appreciate and notice femininity!
So miss the days that people dressed so nice.
Wow! Truly classy fashions in their era.
Why should I care about what 20 years old kids think about my clothes?!
You shouldn’t
Im 70! I wear a lot of gray. I used to wear black and bright colors. I feel happy in gray. I can add a scarf or turban to add color. I always dress for my comfort. I wear leggings with mini dresses, or wit long skirts.
Amen
THANK YOU
Jewelry for me is a big part of my personal style. I have a large collection of vintage and modern jewelry and it doesn't matter if it's *in* or out. I am 68 and if someone feels my style in jewelry is *old* lady, thats fine. I put vintage pins on my jean jackets and hats. I have a black beret that looks cute with a pin.
I don't feel I am frumpy in clothes that I wear. Like I can't wear sweatshirts with embroidery or otherwise grandma type embellishments. BTW I am a great-grandma x3. 😊 I dress for the situation. I am not a conservative dresser unless the occasion calls for it. I try not to dress too young but will add a trendy top or sweater to my outfits. Life is too short to conform. I do agree with almost all your suggestions for the most part. I have never cared what people think when it comes to fashion. Have fun with fashion.😊
Oh yes!! What a refreshing comment, I’m with you and love to have so much fun with my style … life’s too short to play everything so safe … have a great weekend! 🧚♀️❤️🐝
Absolutely! That sounds like an amazing collection! And in the end you should certainly do what makes YOU happy!🧡 These are merely suggestions for those that are looking for direction or wondering another’s perspective. Thank you for tuning in and commenting,I do appreciate it. 🌻😊
I love a brooch and frequently add them to my denim jackets or other coats. I've even added a cute pin to a dress and it looked great. I agree, I would never wear the old grandma type embroidered sweatshirts lol even though I am a grandma in my 60's. We can look modern and cute and also add a touch of personal style.
Agree. Not a fan of boring jewelry either. Why bother then?
Blessed
Just found your channel. Great tips. I think Talbots and Chico’s that cater to an older audience have matronly clothes but show them on thinner models so they look pretty good. Love that you showed women of all sizes and ages
Yay welcome!💕 Oh they definitely do that…but really all the designers do it too. Especially lately with all the oversized clothing, I don’t think people like when I say it, but it’s true, a super tall model can literally wear anything and look stylish…I see it all the time and think, no normal person could wear anything close to that!🤣 all marketing.🙃
You're right. I still shop bloomies and saks, just buying different stuff than when I was 30.
You’re right. See my comment about. I’m sized out of both Chicos and Talbots because their smallest size, size 2 regular, it too big. I’m 5’4” tall weight 106 petite is too “short” everywhere! I buy the leggings 2 regular and get the waist taken in. Talbots has good quality so I buy their stiff. I’m 67 and don’t look like most women my age. My earlobes don’t sag. If you are in your 40s the best thing you can do is start bio identical hormones. Find a doctor that specializes in this. Your regular GP won’t have a clue
@@lisaaustin4561 I’m 68 and recently changed OB-GYN. Dr won’t prescribe HRT due to my age 😮 and that I’m a new patient. Where do you get your bio id hormones and how long have you been on them, if I may ask? Thanks!
When I was 30 and slimmer I could wear anything and feel great. Now I am 74 and heavier, and it is trickier to find things that make me feel good.
OK I never tell my age I don’t lie I’m 74 and I just found your channel and I love it I’ve read so many of what people are saying on here and I for one don’t want to look 20 but I don’t want to look old either, I set in a room with people, my age and older, and honestly they all looked at the carbon copy with the gray hair and just the way they dressed and then I saw somebody who’s three years younger with her high heels and classy classy look at how much better so I want to look classy. I don’t wanna look old I want to look the best I can I like your ideas they give me room for thought. To be the best I can.
Remember, I think you’re so right about the jewelry. Remember, Coco Chanel said on your way out look in the mirror and take one item off.
You are so right Marie! And Coco is correct too 😉🌻💕
I think it’s about how you are raised. The women in my family were always wearing the latest fashions. My mom is 70 and she loves her sketchers and track suits . I am 50 and I just brought a suit my 23 year old niece just brought. We all look fabulous
Absolutely! 😊
I’m very proud that I’ve officially reached old lady status. I’ve grown in my silver streaked salt and pepper hair, and became a grandmother. But I try not to dress like one. I wear whatever I want while paying closest attention to proportions and fabric quality.
Your hair looks beautiful 😍 the “old lady” term is a look that I have in my mind. For instance if I talk to you about a teen or a mother, an image may come to your mind, that doesn’t mean there’s only one right answer, but you have an image to those words. It isn’t meant to be negative, it’s just a certain look. Definitely, aging is a blessing!🧡 I hope that all women care to do little things to their look and style everyday to feel their best.😊
Me,I wear what I want as long it's decent and comfortable
Iris Apfel is a 96-year-old fashion Icon who breaks all your "old lady fashion rules".
There’s ALWAYS exceptions to every rule 😉🧡
Iris Apfel looks ridiculous: so much effort to appear "kooky".
@@deborahsauter9794i agree. She looks like an old child playing grownups in her parents room
Oh my gosh I just googled her, I didn’t know about her. She passed on in March this year, may her soul rest in peace 🙏🏽 I am glad to see she lived her life not conforming to people’s opinion of her, people are too critical and yet we are all created to be different.
You are absolutely correct! My mother was so pretty and always took pride in her appearance. She got compliments wherever she went, but that was not her intent. She was just a very classy lady! And I try to also take care of myself and dress as if I like myself. Love your channel. ❤
Thanks for sharing, what a nice memory!!😊🌻 and you’re welcome 💕
Your suggestions for adjusting clothing choices are very interesting and valid observations. I’m 75 next week and I like to be stylish, so although I’m slim and fit, there are age related changes I have and continue to make so I look and feel comfortable and appropriate. Where I bristle a bit is the expression of “looking like an old lady”, inferring that being old is an undesirable stage of life. Perhaps words like frumpy, outdated etc. that refer to the style, not our age would be more appropriate. I sense you’re a very kind person who would not intend to diminish anyone by using age in a negative way. I hope you get what I’m trying to say with kindness and respect for your work.
Completely understand what you’re conveying. 🙂 thank you so much for putting it so well. I can choose different words. I certainly don’t think there’s an age that’s old, merely a look. And growing older is such a blessing for sure!🌻🧡 thank you so much for tuning in and commenting!
Thank you for your response😊 Words well chosen can make all the difference!
Good observation and good response...manners, not clothes, maketh the man...and the woman🤓
Stop being so touchy about your age, I am 80 yo and the words old lady dosen't bother me.
The words "old lady" don't bother me either, in fact makes me smile; I just don't like them used to stand for something negative (frumpy etc). We old ladies are great🤓 x
After writing a long comment and hearing your last comment. 'Old lady' thats a great phrase...I'm an old lady embracing grey hair , sagging throat etc. Enjoying my age. Being me and grateful to the Lord. I love fashion, styles colours and being who you are now.
Your suggestions and obervations are so helpful , thankyou.
So let us women not use derogatory words to describe ourselves. Its not helpful.
Of course being blessed to age is wonderful. 🧡I was referring to a look. For instance when we discuss a teenager, you have an image in your mind of a typical teenager, although there are some out of the box that aren’t what you’d expect and can be common these days… or a mother, or a model, or a person with certain illnesses. We all imagine a typical look when describing a stage in life, it isn’t meant derogatory, it’s to explain/describe.😊 I do appreciate you sharing your thoughts and perspectives as well.
@@StylishandGrateful The difference is that the word Teenager is not derogatory, this is the first of your videos that I have watched and I won't be back.
@@laurenmcconomy6742I’m 70+ and often people think my 53 yr old daughter is my mom. She looks exactly like her dad’s grandma. You cannot control 🧬 your DNA. It’s more important to focus on health, exercise and skin care. There are 1000’s of styles to choose from and having a younger person call you old is actually hilarious. Karma is such a bitch. She’ll learn. I think learning more about life and style might help this channel but I won’t be back. There are other channels that know so much more about style and wear it well.
Seriously it appears to me she is afraid of aging I am proud of all I have done and accomplished
I’m an old lady. My grandson told me 😂😂😂. I’m good with it I’m 65. Stopped caring
I’m 60. I almost exclusively wear Zara. There are lots of exceptions to your suggestions. There are some beautiful matching tops and bottoms and skirt suits in right now. MIDI and Maxi skirts or dresses can look very stylish. I spend a lot of time in Europe and women there are so stylish and break most of your rules. THe women look amazing. They also tend to be thinner than Americans which makes a huge difference. I usually check with my 30yr old daughter to see if something looks good or bad on me. So far, she approves. I’ll never dress “my age” as long as I have an option.
Totally agree with all of this 🥰 there certainly aren’t any hard set rules, just a few suggestions that I’ve learned along the way, that I hope may help someone else.😉 So glad that you tuned in and left this great comment and also your own perspective!🧡🍁
Agree. I live in France. Women here, and throughout Western Europe, dress very differently than Americans. 'Fashion trending' isn't a big thing. Chic ,classic style is our mantra. I dress in a way that suits me and makes me feel confident. I don't care what people feel about it. I prefer maxi and midi dress lengths. Personally, I can't abide shorter styles on me, They feel frumpy and aging. I'm 61, and far from old yet 😁
I wear turtlenecks. I have a dozen cashmere turtlenecks and many more in other materials. It gets to -30° F here in the winter, and I start wearing them as soon as the temperature hits freezing at night. I'm 68, for reference. Honestly, my fashion icon from 20 years ago was a white-haired lady who lived on my street; I never saw her in anything but a black turtleneck and black pants, and she looked fabulous. Another thing I'll never give up are my tweed jackets, but none of them are that Chanel style tweed. Most of them are very subtle herringbone blazers. I honestly don't care if people think I'm old - I am! In fact, I wish people would take me for the age I am, since they usually think I'm in my 40s. I have an old body, feeling it 24/7, and it irks me when people expect me to do things that I could do 20 years ago, but now it's just not happening.
You sound amazing! I totally understand what you’re saying and agree 100% 💕Each of us are unique, so it’s tough for everyone to follow a small set of “rules”. My tips are only for those interested, wondering, or seeking direction.😊 Everyone should ultimately do whatever makes them feel good.🍁🧡 Thank you so much for tuning in and for the great comment, I really appreciate your input!!🙂
I just picked up three thin turtlenecks for layering. Glad I did.
I loooove fitted turtle necks and mock necks..I feel it makes people look effortlessly chic. ( most of the time). Im sad that I moved to the South from New England and I cant wear them as often.
I totally agree! I like to keep my neck warm. I have about 20 T-necks in all kinds of colors and wear them October to March. I also think they can be versatile...dress up with a fancy vest or dress down with just a sweater.
Plaid and big plaids are back in, and the blazers too. Wear what you want, is what I say.
After years of looking at my teachers, having a mom who was a teacher, as soon as I became a teacher I knew the poor kids had to look at me all day so that affected my style. I wore colors, but I always was conscious that I wanted my outfits to inspire respect. My basic uniform was blazers/jackets and slacks or nice sweaters and slacks or dressier jeans. Never ruined any clothes and was on the floor with kids every day.
Sounds like great stylish timeless outfits. 🙂
Your students probably were inspired by your style. Paloma Picasso said that the greatest piece of art is a well dressed woman. I always try to dress accordingly. I have an alternative style so I try for a classic hip look.
After reading some comments: here's my deal- I'm 70, retired from my career last year and am now pouring previous energy into what I want to do now. Hopefully I have long since stopped caring what the hip trends are, but know what makes me happy and feel good to wear. HOWEVER I love learning and this is so helpful with information that I find positive and good to know. Thank you so much for putting this together! Valuable insights with info that anyone can use (or NOT use.) I was used to doing a lot of research myself with my job so I appreciate your work and presentation.
Thank you for watching and for your kind comment 😊🌻
Also our haircuts and home furnishing can age us. I recently learned our old faux flower arrangements are so dated. So I loving suggest you ditch the flowers on your dresser and opt for a green arrangement ie: eucalyptus or sage leaves look great in matte pottery . Wardrobe tips spot on.
It’s a guest room, collecting my kiddos old bedroom styles. I actually am not into redecorating my house regularly. But I do like old fashioned home styles. Thank you for your suggestion and for tuning in and commenting.😊🌻
I can remember when old dried eucalyptus branches were all the rage in the late 70s - 80s, I can still smell them now in the craft and floral store called Jo-bell’s. So all of this stuff goes out and comes back in style. I dread when that old gold/orangey tones come back in. In fact I’m already starting to see it, and after lots of people have spent out and decorated in dull grays, now they will have to buy all new again to stay in style.
You said what I was afraid of saying 😅
Those fake flower arrangements have never been stylish in Belgium, maybe even in the whole of Europe. But that fabric thing on the dresser or ‘armoire’ or what is de correct name is REALLY Old Lady in my humble opinion 😊.
I thought the florals looked really nice.
The matching top and bottom pyjama look is so fun and not going out of style anytime soon, classy and elegant for all ages, very surprising you mentioned this as ageing. I am 60s and received so many compliments with this elegant look 🤔
Like every “rule” there’s exceptions for sure. 😊 If it looks great on you and you love it, totally rock it! 🌻 thank you for sharing your experience and for watching my channel I really appreciate it!🧡🍁
I agree.
It will look better with a white tank top under the shirt. 👍
YES! FULLY AGREE WITH YOU !!
At our age (I’m a young 66) style is relative I don’t shop at Chicos or Coldwater Creek, or Talbots. (This is “old” to me! ) I watch young fashion influencers and adapt my style. If my 30 yr old nieces wouldn’t wear it, I’m not. I don’t let my belly or love handles stick out of midrise jeans,(I’m loving the high waisted wide leg style for my body type,) so glad “skinny jeans “ are out!! Classic items are a good choice for anyone. Sometimes a small touch of leopard somewhere is great, shoes, a pair of earrings, a tank. Younger people in my family actually ask MY advice on outfits! And, as others have said, it’s all about embracing your age. I know I don’t look 40, but I could probably still pass for 55! But I love saying my age out loud, I don’t get the lying about it, people know by other signs anyway we aren’t really fooling anyone! We need to be ourselves & chances are if you had no style when you were younger, you don’t have style now. But, that’s fine too!
My mom stayed very stylish and age appropriate well into her 80's. So much so that young people complimented her often. I dress using a lot of rules out of her playbook. Thanks for the tips.❤😊
I do matchy-matchy all of the time!! Black from shoulders to heels. My advice is seek happiness!
With black or white it’s timeless 😉I appreciate you sharing your perspective. My videos are meant to offer suggestions and ideas for those looking for inspiration. Fashion is a personal choice, and it's all about expressing your unique style. I respect everyone's right to make their own fashion decisions.
Women who were raised matching colors care more about their appearance than the youthful females who are so against matchy-matchy. The misogenistic trend became wearing mismatched clothes that make women look unknowlegeable and hideous. (BTW, I'm a designer.)
I think you are right on target with these tips! A super matchy outfit, especially in pastels or prints really scream "old lady". Also those matronly, boxy skirt suits! Yuk! Great video!❤
Glad you liked tips😊…. I may need to do a how to wear instead tips video soon🤔🌸
Seriously. By the time you got done it’s like what can I wear. I have always LOVED big chunky jewelry has been a part of my style. I have a fabulous black mink pillbox. It’s vintage. I can wear it instead of aVeiling for Mass. I love the look of long skirts with a red and lots of jewelry. I love beads…excess boho look is me and I constantly get compliments. I am 71 and everyone who does not know is stunned. I’m told I look 55 to 60. Much of fashion, style is putting together a look that is uniquely you then head up shoulders back and a beaming smile. CONFIDENCE is everything.
You sound just perfect Jan! Just do you.🌻 this is for people looking for direction.😊
I work in a shoe store with mainly women's footwear. Recently I have been noticing how well women of all ages who come in are dressing. Maybe Covid has had some part in this with being stuck at home looking at videos like this because post Covid a lot of women have really upped their game in how they are putting their outfits together - it's fabulous to see and they really look like they're enjoying what they're wearing. Thank you for your honesty and courage to bring this video out in a very sympathetic way 🙂
Oh I love to hear this! That’s so wonderful! It really does make a difference on someone’s own self esteem and how others treat you. The shine a woman has when she feels good definitely radiates 😊 thank you so much for sharing this lovely comment and for tuning in!🧡🌻
You are spot on about what looks frumpy. So truly helpful.
Glad you think so! Thank you🌻
Thank you. I love your content here as well as friendly presentation.
As the “heat” of aging increased I changed from turtle necks to silk scarves. Still warm when you need it and you can adjust according to your needs.
That’s a great idea! 😊I find I can wear a mock neck and that’s better for me. Thank you so much for popping in and for the lovely comment!🧡🍁
Great job!!!!! i’m a 65 year old hip, modern, stylish lady and I don’t look my age. 🎉I love fashion, and I agree with every word, you nailed it.
Awe thank you so much Dianne! 💕 Thank you so much for tuning in and for this kind comment!🍁😊
There is nothing wrong with looking one's age. Just wear well cut items that flatter your shape and make you feel good when you look in the mirror. I hope I never look "hip" again.
102 year old Iris Apfel breaks all the rules. She wears bold colors, lots of ruffles, tons of jewelry, and is a super famous icon because of it!!
Check her out...
Her large floral prints are over the top, she wears all the thinner people say not to wear as a mature lady. I love that she has stepped out of the mold.
She even has her own rug collection now with her signature bold designs.
That’s awesome! 🧡 If it makes her happy or you happy totally go for it!😊 That’s what’s ultimately most important. 🍁
Iris is my favorite 🥰
And everything she wears suits her. That is the key. Wear what suits you.
Apfel's style is not at all attractive. She appears desperate for ill gotten attention,
She is a fantastic woman. Her sense of style is hers alone, and she rocks it! She and her husband had a wonderful life in fashion.
I'm 78 and i wear what looks good ,what i like and it's comfortable
🌻
So true! We don't need to triple our age with the wrong clothing.
💯 totally what I think as well 🌻
Ok...I get it. Absolutely. I'm 55+ and I want to look stylish, but recognize that I'm not always going to please everyone. You know (me thinking out loud here), there is a certain freedom to being older. I worried so much in my 20s, 30s, and 40s about what people thought of me if I wore certain things that were too big, too small, too slouchy. I worried about being too big, too short, etc. You get what I'm saying. I recognize the value of altering things that are currently on trend to fit our changing bodies. We want to look good and feel good, but darn it! I don't want to care sometimes, lol. It should be about how it makes you feel. 'Old lady' has such a negative connotation, doesn't it? It is what it is. What I think I look like in my mind is different from what I see in the mirror, and perhaps starting with being kind to each other is where we begin. I'm still learning to be kind to myself because you know it's hard not to find negativity out there every day. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and great ideas.
Totally understand.😊 my intentions were to help those looking for direction or my perspectives, it’s not for everyone certainly. Just what I’ve found and realized over time. I think we’re just in an age range where we’re not young and not old and finding the proper balance of style and comfort can be challenging, so hopefully this helps whoever needs it and those that don’t need it were at least entertained 😉🌻 thank you for sharing your thoughts and perspectives as well!🧡
I love what you said in this comment . . I like the way I feel being kind. My days feel more bouncy and light when I'm friendly and kind to those around me. Being nice to myself has taken a long time to achieve and I'm still a work in progress . . My favorite thing to say to myself when I'm not nice to myself is " we're not talking like that anymore'
Anyway, I just wanted to tell you I like what you had to say
Peace
✌️
Kindness is a key word In your response. I agree, I try to not hurt people's eyes but my comfort and freedom of choice to express myself in what I wear. Getting closer to heaven where I hope I have a beautiful white caftan😂 67yo
You shouldn't care so much about what others think! Do what works for you and cut the toxic people and their opinions out!
I appreciate your comments & ideas I don't want to look matronly or frumpy one big thing I've learned recently is about crop pants they don't hit the legs at a good spot as I live in the desert where summers get to 115° it's hard when u don't want to wear shorts going out if you could do a video on that it would be great I think bermudas shorts are coming back thanks for your video ❤❤
Great ideas, thank you. I'm guilty of wearing clothes too big. I see comments about not caring after "a certain age". I care because I'm not happy with what I see in the mirror and appreciate advice. It's about ME being happy not everyone else. So thank you!
Thank you Sharon!😊🌻 We all do it, a reminder now and then hopefully helps💕
When I was in my teens back in the late 70’s/early 80’s, older women used to often wear clear plastic kerchiefs over their newly set hair. I remember my best friend and I wondering why women would choose to go out in public looking like that. We were a bit afraid that we’d reach a certain age and suddenly wearing plastic kerchiefs would become a viable option. We swore to one another that we’d never do it.
We’re pushing 60 now and it doesn’t look like it’s going to be an issue. The wearing of plastic kerchiefs has become a thing of the past as that generation has passed on.
Haha, neat story, love it! Thank you for sharing🧡 So I guess this is my own version of yours. I’m sure as the years roll by my opinions and perspectives will change, I think everyone’s should with more life experiences. So glad you commented✨😊
If you walk with a cane, and carry your belongings in a purse, you have no hand left for an umbrella. Either your hair is ruined, or you wear a rain hat.
A
Thank you for your views. I agree with some but not all. Im in my 60s and love capris.
You are so welcome 😊🌻
Great video! Dress for your body. Not all trends work for everyone.
💯 absolutely 💕 and thank you!!😊
I love your advice. I've always avoided the Miami Beach cougar look: animal print head to toe, too much clanging jewelry, severe make-up, dark dark suntan. I prefer a softer look. I'm 70 and I follow the same rules as the ones you suggest. And I still get looks and comments on my style from younger people. Keep up the great advice!!
Soo good Lynn! You are doing it right!😎💕✨
Just curious as I haven't seen you before, what makes you an expert on fashion?
I have a genuine passion for fashion and a keen eye for style. I stay updated with the latest fashion trends, experiment with different styles, and have a strong understanding of what looks good and feels comfortable. My personal interest in fashion allows me to appreciate and recognize the subtleties and creativity within the field. 😉
This is your show and Im totally entertained by it. I do believe women over 40 can still rock a lot of the “trends” 👏🏼🤷🏻♀️ you just have to know how to modify for your body type.
Absolutely 👍 thank you for watching and commenting💕😊
When I was young, I thought by now I would be wearing elastic waist stretch pants and sweatshirts with Peter Pan collars, cat heads on the front cat backsides on the reverse. What a hoot! :) I'll never be that "old".
Haha we all have certain images in our heads like this 😉 thank you for sharing!🌻
Monochrome in black and navy blue with chunky jewellery . Works for me .
I was 76 November 13. I have always dressed very feminine and classic. I ran a huge business for 45 years, and had to be stylish. Today, during the day when I’m not looking after our properties here in South Florida, I wear skinny jeans and a pretty top, and have a cardigan in case I’m in air conditioning. At night, I always wear DolceGabbana midi-length dresses (not the crap you see in magazines today like KK wears). I have many of their classic evening and also luncheon dresses, all mid-length because I’m thin and 5’5” tall and the longer length makes me taller, since I’ve lost probably 3” due to being hit from behind 3 times with crushed vertebrae in spine and neck. I am lucky that my body hasn’t really changed, but I take care of myself. I agree with others who say nobody really cares what you are wearing. I just came back from a two week cruise on Oceania Riviera in the Mediterranean. My sister and I were the only two who dressed every night, wore high heels and evening purses and jewelry. We could have cared less that other people were not as dressed. We dressed as WE always dress, and I’m not about to step it down because others are either too lazy or ill-informed as to how a lady should dress. Now I’m ready for everyone to jump on me, but as one lady said, I don’t care. I earned it!
Love this Terry, all of it!💕 You sound amazing and your sis 😉🌻
Nothing wrong with classic and appropriate! You hopefully are raising the bar for others by your example. I am with you!!!+
You are right! I watch Marie Anne Lecouer on TH-cam. She is French chic and just a lovely, classy older lady. I’m 70 and always try to look classy; like I like myself! ❤
Well done video, Liz! I peeked at a few comments, most of which are along the same theme as on other similarly themed channels. I am 64 and of the same mindset - I will wear what I like and what makes me feel good, whatever anyone thinks. Having said that - I also think most of us want to leave a good impression, especially with strangers. I have met many women who brag about not caring, to the point of looking like they made an effort to look like an unkempt slob Maybe there is a fine line between not caring about what others think and not caring about oneself. I grew up in a very rural part of the Northeast and we were far from "well-off". My mother did not have the latest styles or a closet full of beautiful clothes, but she was always neat and tidy, dressed as best she could and never left the house without lipstick. She was stunning.
Thank you!🌻 I enjoy heating others opinions and thoughts on fashion, it’s at least some good for thought!😉 Your mother sounds like she was classy 🌺 Thank you for watching and for sharing your thoughts.
Really nice thank you mam
Amen! I know that some of the items on your list seem obvious but thank you for the reminder. Sometimes we forget that aging gracefully does not mean being trendy.
I think all of these tips are spot on. One thing I have come to realize (I'm 68 - for reference) is that mature women are much "thicker" than younger women. What looks good from the front can be really unflattering from the side or back view. I think a tutorial on selecting fashions that flatter older women in 3D vs 2D would be really a great subject.
Thank you! 🧡Yes that’s a great suggestion. 😊🌻
Great video Liz really amazing information if you are worried about your neck when you wear a button down or v neck you can wear a twilly scarf the silk or satin type to hide your neck a little bit and the pleated pant the ones that usually cause the tummy issues the pleat starts to open up right from the waistband which then if you have a bit of a lower tummy can open up from the waistband making your tummy look bigger than it is either check before you buy them that the pleat stays together until it's at least halfway two thirds of the way between your waistband and your hip that way it doesn't open at the top of your tummy if you have pairs already that start at the waistband just fold that pleat sew along it so it opens up lower down and then you can wear those trousers and them be flattering too instead of get rid of them hope this helps someone 🥰
Thank you Donna!!💕😊 And a wonderful tip you offered!🌻
I LOVED the pictures of the models wearing the 'matchy matchy' co-ordinating clothes , in the same colours and fabrics. It looks so stylish, 'put together' and FAR from matronly! As a hater of skirts ( I'm a BIG dress fan. Which is weird as , when i was younger, I NEVER wore dresses) I do agree with the skirt suit. Im not such a lover of them, unless it's a chic, well-cut and designed flowy cut. I love v neck tops. If I do wear a higher, round neckline I accessorise with a chunky, dramatic necklace to 'alter ' the visual appearance. Ultimately, if clothes make you feel good, ladies, wear them. Say NO to the so-called rules. And Subtle shoulder pads balance out the body
What matters to me personally is my health and my heart and soul. It’s great if people are looking for advice about what to wear or not wear. But being in my mid 60’s, I just want to wear what’s comfortable to me and not worry about what others are thinking or saying.
So, if you feel that way, why are you watching these types of videos??
Right! I stay with the basics and the classic style which is timeless for young ladies and older ladies. For example the nice sweater you have on is timeless. Navy and white stripes.
I think so. Princess Diana rocked it in the 80s and it’s back with the old money style. Just pair it with a newer trend like wide pants.😊🌻😉
Great point about shoes. There are so many options for cute AND comfortable shoes!
I think a lot of us refer to pre internet days and think we need to take what is convenient and close, but with some research and patience there’s a lot of choices these days for sure!🌻😊
I love my big sweatshirts.I live in Boston wear them about 70 percent of the year. Being comfortable .and saving money on clothes is way more important to me than what anybody thinks of me.
Totally reasonable perspective. 😊 Thank you so much for tuning in and commenting🧡🍁
I'm noticing a lot of these videos and surely there are helpful tips. The truth is, we are dressing more casually and more for comfort.
What really ages people is having the same haircut for decades, especially from the 80s. Some older ladies like the teased, poufy look, and that is their right. It ages their look, however.
🤔 I do see your point. I personally don’t see many old fashioned hairstyles, but I’m sure they’re out there!😂
Definitely changing up your DO is a must!🌻🧡 Thank you for your comment!😊
I let my hair go silver back in 2015. It softens my face. I grew tired of having color touch ups all the time. However a good cut and style is important if one chooses that option or not. I like to change the style at least every couple of years. Since it is coarse l have to make sure it is healthy and shiny. My stylist has promised never to give me an old lady cut.😅
@@sheila8730I've seen it where natural gray hair actually makes someone better looking, because it makes undereye shadows, etc., far less noticeable. My hair is taking its own sweet time going gray, but I'm not dying it.
I really enjoyed your video. I was wondering if I do any of the things you suggest not to do, but I am relieved to find I don't. Thank you.
Thank you 🌻😊
The one unequivocally great thing about reaching "that certain age" is that one no longer needs to care quite so much what others think of one's choices.
I can remember being a teen and crying myself to sleep because a mean girl told me I looked "too skinny" for my chosen attire.
Now at 60 I wear whatever I want and though I wouldn't wear clothes that don't flatter my figure, I'm certainly not going to avoid wearing something that somebody might - oh, the horror! - deem "too young" for me.
🎯👍👏🇵🇱🖐️
That girl was jealous of you
Oh my the biggest pet peeve is socks with sandals 😝
Some great advice
Great observations! Maxi skirts can be very chic when paired with a heel of some sort. Flats make them look more matronly to me in addition to not balancing the top like you mentioned.
Thank you!😊 You’re right! It’s all about the right balance. 🍁🧡
I always wear maxi skirts with flats, but then I always wear flats, never been able to wear heels, even when young, and they always feel frumpy on me when I try to wear. I am 5ft 9in tall, and find that my shorter friends can wear them better than me. I go for slinky flat sling backs for instance or sexy sandals or even white trainers. If the other things you wear are not frumpy, for instance, a vee neck tee instead of shirt (which I find feels frumpy on me) I think flat shoes looks fine.
GREAT JOB. RIGHT ABOUT NECKLACES AND EVEN CLOTHES
I always appreciate tips on how to look stylish! I take advice in the vein it is given , in your case trying to help me look better. I don’t have to use all of the advise, I can just file it away! My favorite shoe brand is Vionic. They have so many styles and the cutest boots. The arch support is wonderful. They are on the $$-$$$ side but so worth it! My favorite store to shop at is WHBM. I am 61 and their clothing fits me so well and I stick to the classics. I have trouble finding a good fit at Chico’s and Talbots. I also love SOMA for undergarments and sleep wear. Thank you for the video!
Exactly how I wish all would 😉 Thank you so much Carolyn!💕 I’ve never tried that shoe brand 🤔 I’ll need to look into it. I love whbm as well! Always so many classy items to choose from and they don’t require special washing and ironing! I feel about the same with the other brands you mentioned as well, but I keep trying anyway because I’ve found a few amazing pieces there over the years. Thank you so much for tuning in and this thoughtful comment!🧡🍁
Straight leg and bootcut are the best. Bootcut is my personal favorite, but I like (and wear) straight leg, too. I like wide leg, but must find the right one for me.
Completely agree 🌻😊
I’m 70 and I agree with your suggestions, however that sweater and jeans outfit you are wearing is the exact outfit I remember my old boss wearing in the 80s. I think for some reason it makes you look outdated….just my opinion
It’s certainly a classic. 80s for sure, and they’re coming back, very Princess Diana😊 in my opinion with that sweater. But, I paired it with wide leg denim and boots for a modern twist. I should’ve added my outfit of the day to this video, didn’t know this one video was going to explode like it did.😉 but thank you for tuning in and sharing your opinion as well.🧡🍁
Agreed. And bulks up the hips drawing attention to that area
I concur. There is not anything flattering about a shapeless white cotton sweater and frumpy jeans, especially in the fall. 😮
Instead of talking and explaning in so many words wby no show pictures what are u taking about. Its self centered presentations. More of you pictures and not much examples.
Pictures speaks louder than Thousands. words.
I love the outfit
Thanks for these tips! I'll be 63 this month, and really needed to hear this.❤❤
Thank you Wendy! 💕 glad you enjoyed it! And happy birthday 🎂🎊 ❤️
I had very few things and always bought high-quality so I'm all set for life by the time I graduated high school so I'm going to wear what I damn well please and that means all my high quality clothing that I had by the time I left High School😊
Awesome 😊
Good advice. I will definitely benefit from it,thanks 😊
Glad it was helpful!
It is strange, and terribly sad, that someone would get deeply offended by advice being given to them free of charge, and by their choice. If you apologised once you did so at least 3 times. It was my choice to click on the thumbnail, to watch the video and continue watching. Most presenters on TH-cam are making thee constant dicslaimers. It should not be necessary. Your advice ranged over a number of issues - so what if I don't like 1 or 2 of them, or even all of them. I enjoyed what you had to say. Won't take on board a number of them and will look at some issues I have. My final say - what i wrong with being eccentric? At the age of nearly 70 I can wear purple, I can show my creased neck and wrinkled hands. Live and enjoy fashion.
Thank you Dorothy! People just take things as personal attacks sometimes, but you’re right, this is just one persons opinion.😊 I was merely giving advice that’s helped me, that MAY help others. Take what you want and leave what you don’t. 😎 I certainly wouldn’t want every woman in the world to dress like me, it’s good we’re ALL different!😊🧡 Thank you so much for tuning in and commenting!!🌻
I really appreciate this. Of course we can all make our own decisions, but I do feel like I’m not out and about as much as I was when I was younger and I love getting input like this.
Thank you Kay 🌻😊
Your suggestions are very good, even though I personally think that what makes you look younger is how confident you are in whichever clothes you like, and of course, your demeanor. Most of the time, unless I have a business meeting, I wear still the same black alt-punkish cloths I've worn since my youth, and people are usually surprised when I tell them I'm 58. Those clothes should make me look like an old, out-of-time wanna-be, but apparently they don't, because they are "me", I'm comfortable in them, and I don't care about people's opinion of me any more now than I did before. I guess that's... youthening? 🤪
But thank you for doing these videos. You're providing a wonderful service! ❤️
That’s awesome! And yes if you can rock it, totally do it! My suggestions were more for those looking for direction and to advise against some of the trends that, in my opinion can age us. 😊Thank you so much for commenting and sharing your perspective I love hearing how women live are living their best!😎🧡
Right. Everything.
I am 63, and I appreciate your tips! I could live for 30 more years, so why give up fashion now! Nothing crazy, just looking classy and avoiding the worst fashion mistakes!… Thank you for this video! 👏💕
Love that!💕😊
I am 65 and I remember thinking older ladies wore granny style clothes ..but I don't think they had the choice or access to clothes like we do as we have online shopping not just a local store 🎉
Absolutely! You are so right! That’s why no one needs to dress frumpy these days, regardless of actual age, there’s so many choices and price points and advice so easily available for all. But I think we all have a few outfits in mind we think of as “granny style”…. I’m still looking for the correct words to get my point across without being offensive in any way. 🌻 Thank you so much for sharing and tuning in.😊🧡
You are 100% right
Sincerely I am a little bite tired of all this clothing advice. I am a French woman 11:38 64 and the best way is to be you , feelings confident in your clothe and in your skin . And each time I see a woman in my age with a personal style , I love it.
The must important encourage woman to be free … sure this video can helping some women but if you love something kee it and enjoy it ❤
Absolutely! 💕 But you have to know some people do like tips, advice, and another perspective. I certainly love hearing different ideas and tips that I can incorporate. I think you never stop learning, growing, and evolving. Thank you so much for tuning in and sharing your perspective, love it!🌸😊
THIS video is for us seniors who want to look great and feel it.Why are critics watching 😮😮😮
💕🌻
Love this, thank you. It's always good to have an opinion from someone on the outside looking in.... I have moved into my 50s now. Every decade I feel like I have to learn how to dress all over again. I've just always tried to dress age appropriate. I am almost 52, I'm allowed to have some grays and some lines. I don't think at this point I'm going to hide it.
When I was young I always admired older women that just looked put together. I didn't expect them to look like me, an 18 year old. I admired a classy, put together look. I also like the older ladies who can wear trendy stuff, but you better have the personality to match it.
I'd like to see a video on more casual looks, because I don't go out in jackets. I live in the south. I don't have a corporate job. My church is casual. The only time I would ever worry about these styles is an occasional wedding, funeral or party. I also hate jeans, the are too hot and uncomfortable to me.
Completely agree 😊🌻 I’m only 45 so at this point I am still trying to hide some things, but aging will continue to come if I’m blessed and lucky 🍀 I’m totally ok with it. The women around me age naturally and gracefully, I have no issue doing so as well.🧡 my style, I’d describe as classy casual. I do have lookbooks to come! Thank you so much for tuning in and commenting ✨🍁
Very interesting - just remember that fashions (and your taste) change over the years 😊 what makes you think that your advice is definitive for all times ❤
Absolutely 😉 these are my tips and perspectives I’ve found helpful up to this point…. Stay tuned as they may change 🙃 thank you for tuning in and providing your opinions at this time as well 🌻😊
I love watching these to see if I'm on par or not. Passed the test. I'm good to go.😂
Awesome! 😊🌻
I like your tips👍.
Thank you!🌻😊
Very good advice 🙂
Thanks! 🙂💕
As a hairdresser, I am standing up, on my feet, from 5am till 9 pm at night, so I wear a quarter inch heel, at the highest, which is great foot support.
Happy feet, happy hairdresser.
Oh my, yes! I don’t know how you ladies do it, that’s a taxing job. But we all appreciate you! I do cringe when I see the young gals in 3inch heels, I’m like ohhh that’s going to be painful 4 hours in. I’ve never been able to wear really high heels for very long, couldn’t imaging to work for hours! There’s too many cute shoes to be in pain. Thank you so much for this comment and for tuning in😊🧡
Thank you for these tips. Appreciate it 😊
You are so welcome!💕😊
My first video of yours. I'm in my 60's and a grandma but don't want to look like one. I always try to look modern and stylish. Hoping to see more videos like this one where you are teaching and not selling. Not a fan of influencers who are constantly doing hauls and encouraging mindless consumerism.
Thank you for tuning in Kimberly and for the feedback. 🧡My hauls are items I’M looking for and share, not random items I’d never consider, just to sell. 😊🌻But I am trying to include more lookbooks and tips videos. I love doing those, although they’re much more controversial, I’ve learned😉🙃
I’m loving the artwork behind you.
GREAT ADVICE… I’m 77yrs young & enjoy dressing with Class‼️🌹
Nice! Can’t go wrong keeping it classy!💗😊 and Thank you!🌻
I need these pearls of wisdom.
Thank you 😊🧡
New subscriber. I’m 56 and struggle with moving into a more mature look. Love your tips here. Thanks and I’ll be watching back on some recent episodes. I also like how many examples you show in this video. 🎉 I recently purchased a long grey sweater / sweatshirt type skirt and also a cream fitted leather blazer. Would love some ideas about how to style these, for a short person.
Hi Brenda!🌻 Welcome, so glad to have you! Oh those two new pieces sound so lovely! I do have a skirt lookbook on my TO DO list and I always love leather for fall, so it’s usually sprinkled throughout my looks. I think both of these pieces you have can go with so many things! Stay tuned! Thank you for tuning in and commenting. 🧡😊
Hi Liz!!! I loved your content, and of course I am a new subscriber now!!!🎉🎉🎉 Thank you!!!
Yay! Thank you!😊💕
I am 70 next year, living in UK and would not dream of wearing any of the frumpy clothes you mention, so not sure who would? I do love a maxi skirt, but narrow cut and worn with tee shirt in summer, but then I am 5ft 9in and I can often buy the ones that are on sale as many ladies are too short to wear them. I used to wear gold finish jewellery, but feel that looks a bit old lady now, so prefer silver and more streamlined, modern stuff, only one item usually, although maybe a silver bangle and earrings if going out in the evening. I live in a cold, windswept area, so always on the lookout for modern cut, warm coats, like puffers, cut well, often at a bargain price in TK Maax!
Wonderful!🙂 You sound like you’ve got your style that you love down!🌸 Thank you so much for giving your perspective and tuning in and commenting.🧡🌻
Very honest recommendations & a way to update your look w/o breaking your bank account! We all need to get rid of out of date food & clothes, less is more. 😊❤️
Thank you for watching and commenting 🧡🍁
I still have some clothes from the 80ies and the style is back in fashion. I would suggest to be careful when you sort out clothes. You might regret it.
I shop at thrift stores. I never buy anything that looks worn out or damaged, & people always think that my clothes are brand new & expensive. Especially if you like to wear a trend but don’t want to spend a lot of money
I will continue to wear whatever I please and look good doing it thank you very much…
👍🌻
First time watching your videos, so enjoyed and agree with everything you said , we can look updated and still look good, but our age, I'm 71 and really enjoy any tips, thanks from South of England Great Britain
Awe thank you so much Marilyn!💕 I appreciate your comment so much!😊 It’s really just little tweaks that are key. I’m really glad you liked the video thank you so much for popping in!🍁🧡
Thank you mama
Lol! You are fun! 🎉 This has been great! New subscriber! We really do have to look at ourselves with love❤️ At 70 i decided i need turtlenecks back in my life-- yes jawline is sagging but the knit (not worn tightly!) is so fun to wear (styling hair right is also important). I don’t need a scarf for the cold as often -and the 🐢 helps hide other things the aging neck presents us with😂
Best fashion accessory is a big smile so keep those teeth healthy! 😊
Ahhh good points. 😊I used to absolutely love turtlenecks under 40, but recently I’m having some excess sugar skin sag🫣 so a bit earlier I think because of my poor diet and too much Sun🙃 I do like one, but not too tight and not too loose…. for me it highlights the issue, so just thought I’d share in case. I’ve kind of replaced them with scarves myself….. but I’m ALWAYS open to try again! I’m so glad you found me and welcome!!🌸 Thank you for the lovely comment!!🍁🧡
Amazing video I’m impressed 😘
As an influencer myself, especially for Fifties and older (I'm 65) I cannot stress enough that the number one piece of clothing we should concentrate on is our foundation. It is so important to get fitted for a new bra or even measure ourselves from time to time. Weight, surgery, age all of these means our bust level and width and our cup size will change. Also watch the size of panties. I believe we should always wear cotton because it's breathable and discourages bacteria and is also cooler and softer to the touch. Watch the panty lines girls, and perhaps choose your new size in various styles to suit what you wear. Once we have our foundation we can see how different styles will look on us. Also, try not to buy prints, large or small, they give off a matronly vibe. Instead buy the basic colors, black, navy blue and white. If you want a touch of color wear a pretty silk scarf as a necktie and choose a color that brightens your face. No more cropped pants from now on. They are out of style and they shorten the leg. Wear everything at the Ankle or slightly over the shoe.
Hope this helps. These tips I have learned from other women. Thank you for the video. 😊
There certainly are tons of tips to consider. These are very good points.🧡 Thank you for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it!😊🌻
Too limiting to just wear basic colors and not all prints are matronly.
You're definitely right about making sure your undergarments fit. For a better fitting bra go for a bigger letter, not a bigger number. Get the girls up and in!!
I replaced my much loved iPad mini with a similar version of yours and it is definitely heavier. I play tennis and started to get hand pain and I thought it was because of tennis but I soon realized it was carpal tunnel from holding the heavier iPad. As soon as I started to hold it in a way that doesn’t put a lot of pressure on my hand the pain went away. I am enjoying your style advice. 🌸
Ohh wow, that’s good to know! I never had a mini so I’m used to the weight. I tried tennis, that’s a tough sport! I definitely admire those that stick with it! Thank you for tuning in and commenting.💕🌻
Agree Chicos and Talbots have frumpy clothes.
😂 … not what I was saying exactly. 🤔I did kind of mention instead, to just choose ONE piece and not the whole set. The stores like to sell and people like easy options, that’s the issue. Thank you for watching and commenting!!🧡🍁
Thank you helping us to rethink some old habbits we may have.
You’re welcome ☺️ thank you for your kind comment.🌻
Liz, you are KILLING it with your videos……I am glad to see you continuing to offer a lot of content in each video, they are chock full of information and I am always entertained and informed. Thank you!
I very much appreciate your kind words Deb, thank you! 💕😊
