I don’t see the little “poof” that you speak of! Just had this conversation with my boss at the clothing store I work in. We each talk about our perceived flaws and body changes but we don’t see them on each other. While it’s good to accept the changes, more often than not, they are really only noticeable to ourselves. ♥️
Also I loved that video you shared last week on that topic. I really needed it. So glad I have your videos and posts to inspire and encourage me during this time in my life. :)
You're exactly right. It's still a process to shift our mindsets. Thanks so much for watching and for this thoughtful comment! SO glad you are here, Jamie! xo
Erin, thank you for guiding us to finding a way to be comfortable where we are right now in life. You exude so much positivity and empathy. We need to encourage each other and build one another up.
Erin, Please don’t call yourself dumb. You are light years away from being dumb. We are all here because of how brilliant you are!! We are all rooting for you!!! P.S. You ROCKED that body skimming dress!! ❤️
Erin, You were inspiring and so warm-hearted. Your humility humbled me. I loved how you carried yourself and how you embraced yourself, setting a loving example for those of us going through bodily changes ❤
Your videos are always a treat. Thank you for being so prolific and being YOU! Your personality shines through and it’s what we love about you- honest, vulnerable and relatable. And that you still reply to all the comments!❤️ Ps I also love that you read your notes off paper instead of mobile phones like so many people these days!
Hey Erin, You are amazing. I purchased a sweater dress that is body skimming and it comes to just above the knee. When I tried it on I said not to be for size 14 gal! I feel it's important to have some grace for yourself! We women are always hard on ourselves life is hard enough be good to yourself and be healthy and not to indulgent. Easier said than done! Happy hump day everyone!
The thing to remember is if you think you look good and feel good in it, you probably will. Over 50, or any age, we should dress for ourselves and not for the male gaze or any other gaze, nor do we need to show acres of flesh to look sexy. Confidence is very sexy. And look at the way most men dress? Is it sexy, of course not. We are our own worst critics. Enjoy your new dress!
Really needed to see this today because I’ve been talking myself out of new jeans even though I’m desperately in need because I’m “not there yet.” Also, the current trend of oversized everything just looks frumpy on most women d’un certain âge. The looks you showed are sleek and sophisticated while being just sexy enough. If we all start seeing ourselves as vibrant and beautiful at any age (or size) maybe we can shift the culture away from the belief that beauty belongs solely to the young.
You deserve to have those jeans that feel great right now, Rachelle! It's so important and makes such a difference on how you feel when getting dressed. xo
Best capsule video I’ve seen in ages - thank god there are none of those boring basics in shades and shapes that don’t really flatter - love the selection and options, even though not my style it’s very inspiring - I’m feeling more confident I can achieve my own beautiful capsule
You nailed it when you were talking about the confidence level in your previous video. I used to have very low confidence because I didn’t accomplish something I always wanted to. Later I had spent many years of my life working on it. Now I feel much better about myself after finishing my graduate school. When you can nail down what you need to boost your confidence and could check it off, it is the great feeling. I am rooting for you or anyone because I know exactly how you feel.
I want to look classy, not sexy. At 56 I just don’t feel like I want to exude sexy but I do want to look pretty and elegant. I really love your makeup in this video. Pretty, pretty.
Erin, this video came at the perfect time! There seem to be so many form-fitting or body con trends coming through this season - so this video is great for giving us all that confidence boost. I've also noticed that as we get older, not only do we question ourselves but also younger women have a tendency to tell us what we can wear! I hope there are women of all ages that watch your video and know that if you feel confident, stylish or dare I even say sexy in what you wear - own it - and if you see another woman rocking it, whatever her age, give her a compliment and share the love!!!!! Xx
SO glad this was helpful for you, Juliana! And LOVE your reminder to spread the compliments and kindness to those around us. Thanks so much for being a part of this amazing community! xo
While it's a fact that you are physically beautiful, I think the most attractive thing about you is your playfulness and goofiness. You're teaching us all a lesson about how many ways there are to be alluring and sexy! Thank you for your inspiring and informative videos.
Hi Erin!! Loved this video! I really needed your words today. I have been struggling with my extra tummy and I think you’re right. Nobody else is noticing! You just gave me my confidence back to wear my form fitted dresses! Thank you 💕 Love you 😘
I 💯 agree that we need to accept and love our body as it is and focus on the positive things in our body. So what if our body shows up, it is so true that we judge ourselves more than needed and we just need to let it go because in other people's eyes we are beautiful..it's time to give ourselves the permission to feel and look sexy we still have this spark so let's enjoy it!!
I teared up when you were talking about body image. I am reaching a certain age where hormones start to wane, and I find myself battling an extra 20 pounds of weight when it was never an issue before. The result is that I stopped caring about how I dressed, which is the opposite of what I should be doing. Thanks for the inspiration you give us all!
Hey Erin, love the inspiration - being a bit older, we can rock the subtle but sexy look with beautiful fabrics and shapes. I have been going for coated jeans this season in lieu of leather, they are more forgiving and easy to put with a monochrome sexy soft sweater that make you look straight from the après-ski (I live in Switzerland!)
Thank you for reminding us that we don't have to look like we did before. So many of us are working to get through a history of disordered eating and self acceptance is key.
Thank you Erin! Your videos are such confidence boosters, you just really get how women in their 40s and 50s relate to their bodies! I just ordered the darling booties, they will be a staple this Fall. Amy💗
Erin, you look amazing in everything, not only that, you make us ALL feel that we can too. That is what I LOVE about you and your platform. Menopause has caused me to shrink, yep 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch shorter, I knew it but two years ago I pulled out some pants (special occasion dressy pants) in my closet that were the perfect length when I bought them (in the late 90's early 2000's) and had to roll them up just to wear them.
appreciating how you approached this with subtlety and sensitivity. Smiling at the cut-out trend: have talked about this with my sister, we both grew up in 80s and 90s, been there/done that, hard NO. I do love the body-skimming knit, though, just without the chunks missing!
Finding subtle ways to dress sexy is an excellent idea. I find that focusing on well tailored and more sophisticated clothing in general is a very sexy look as we get older. The opposite of ripped jeans, Vans and rocker tees.
Thanks for sharing, Adele! I think it is also important to find what feels best for you, and that has to do with your own personal style. Which can change and evolve with time. Thanks so much for watching! xo
I absolutely love your tips!!!! Terrific content!!! I got inspired to make a list and try to recreate a number of your outfits just by pairing what I already have in my closet and augmenting with thrift shop specific items. I scored several fall tops, jackets and blazers for $5 - $10 each that are exactly on trend and look fabulous. I'm a 5'0, 58 year old woman who always wants to see herself as beautiful and sexy at ANY age and weight, and you are helping bring my self confidence back! Thank you!!!!
I have been following you for a bit, and was very very touched by your '' dressing where your body is now" approach, this '' meat body'' we have is only an outer layer to the amazingness inside and when we can fully shine outwards feeling pretty and confident it is a portal to our inner selves, YOU shine so well, so brightly thank you for showing us your TRue self, loves hugs and peplums rock!!!
Erin, thank you so much for your message to women and loving the body you have. I have had so much trouble after menopause and struggle so much with weight (it’s tough). However in your brain your the same person and you want to still look nice. 🙏❤️
Thank you so much! Here's my tips on helping your hair thicken up... my best tip is to implement collagen into your diet. Made the biggest difference for me. th-cam.com/video/Ul0lIoWzqJY/w-d-xo.html xo
Your content is my favorite for so many reasons, including your great fashion advice but also your awesome "psyche" advice. I feel so much better after watching your videos. You are making such a difference in so many ways, which definitely makes you a very special person. Hugs❣
Hi, Erin love your video. Nice reminder you can wear anything with the right posture, confidence, and attitude even when you are heavier than you like. No one notices you just have to smile and own it.
@@BusbeeStyle Thanks, Erin I have watched your videos for the last few years and love the content and context you share. Many thanks from Queensland Australia xx
Erin, I had to pause the video just to post this reply to you. You look absolutely STUNNING in that black dress!! Our perceptions of ourselves are tweaked. I get what you mean about the menopause weight because I'm right there myself. But trust me you look fabulous and I'm so excited to hear you encouraging women to accept their bodies where they are right now. Thank you so much!
I'm watching you from Poland and I love your style, combination of the American and European styles. I'm waiting for the next one because it is a real pleasure to watch you and be inspired.
That was a really great talk you gave about feeling confident about your body even if it isn't perfect or as good as it used to be. I have been struggling with that concept for the past several years and I think you have just inspired me to stop hiding myself.
Love love your channel! One other change I have made as I get older, 49 here, is that I am incorporating color in any outfit I wear. I get alot of compliments on my unique style. I even changed up my hairstyle that was hard to do but now I feel more free! Appreciate all your videos at being classy and trendy at our age!
You’re my new fashion hero. I’ve been stuck in the “athleisure” trend for way too long. I miss the cool clothes I used to wear when I traveled for work. Now that I’m post menopausal, I’m always trying to hide the belly. I’m petite, too (5 feet even), so choices seem much more limited. Thanks for being so open and for these types of videos!
I think that fashion choices, regardless of age, should really reflect who you are as a person as well. I just turned 53 last week, and I absolutely love shopping at places like Hot Topic and Dolls Kill, which are definitely geared towards women much younger than me. But I really like my "eccentric" side to show, and many outlets that are for women my age just seem so...dull. You just don't go for the stuff that shows too much skin, and it's really pretty easy to put together an outfit that shows your creativity while also being flattering. (I also have a great collection of colorful wigs from Amazon that are super cheap that I wear, as I lost a ton of hair due to a major illness last year. And everywhere I go, I get compliments on both the outfits AND the wigs.) ❤️
Additionally, if you can't walk in those dumb spike heels everyone seems to love these days, but like the added height, Dolls Kill has an amazing selection of chunky platform heels that are to die for. I personally love my 5 inch Mary Janes. 🙂
Love this specific video! You always strive to bring out the best and provide encouragement sprinkled with tips to look for and incorporate with fashion! I recently broke my shoulder and I have felt awful about dressing because of a sling! I'm 63and this has really set me back. I listened to your encouragement and Wow! I feel better all ready! Love EVEREVE! Thx, Erin! Love your work! ♥️😎
I am so sorry to hear of your injury, Cindi. That surely does make dressing tougher... I guess that means it's time to get creative, right? I'm SO glad this helped give you some encouragement and inspiration! Thanks so much for being a part of this amazing community! xo
oh I LOVED that first dress😍😍😍 Moving to Texas has been an eye opener I look around and see bigger woman dressed form fitted they look so cute I also struggle with getting caught up on the tiny parts of my body that I hate I’m 45 and mom of 6 , the body just isn’t what it was anyways thanks for touching on body positivity ❤
You ever look at past photos of your younger self? And you think about all the things you were self conscious about while you were younger...while you realize just how great you looked in the past and just how silly you were to be self conscious? That's how your older self will see your now self, so rock what you got like your 75 year old self is whispering in your ear how great you really look.
Thank you again for this positive message. Dress for the body you have now and know what styles flatter you the most. I think most women look better than they think they do. 👍🏼
I love this and the last video. I’m 67 and have maintained a 60 pound loss for 6 months. The eating well is the easy part. I’m learning to appreciate this physical form and all it is for me. I do see my saggy skin and flattened butt…and smile. I think there are so many beautiful women who miss their own beauty. So I cut off my T-shirt sleeves and cropped them to wear at home so when I pass the mirror I will stop and smile. I love that black dress and the peplum top, and all the rest. I live in a small rural ranch town so… high rise flared jeans, leather belts and boots and little lace will work for me here. Loved seeing you today.
Thank you so much. I was feeling pretty defeated today and you gave me some great ideas for some pieces to make me feel better where my body is right now!
I am so glad this was inspiring for YOU! You and your body deserve to feel that love right now. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing that with me. SO glad you are here! xo
Aren't they great?? Here's the link, everything featured is also linked in the description box! Thanks so much for watching! xo Dolce Vita Booties | rstyle.me/+haAckWt5KumiGIZhwwtAEg
Hey Erin. I am loving the complete package you have been giving us. It’s about the whole person and your are bringing it to the forefront. I really appreciate it!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
loved the message you conveyed here...all women deserve to feel sexy, no matter the size or age. BTW, you looked great in all the outfits, I feel like moving into your closet forever
Awesome video! The best line: it doesn’t matter what size you are. This is the truth! I have seen plenty of larger framed women that were totally rocking something that I couldn’t imagine myself doing. Let’s all wear fun stuff! Life is too short.
Thank you. I love what you say about wearing what you want and not denying yourself the pleasure of the piece because you have a tummy. At my age I’m always asking others if I’ll look like foolish in this or that. I tend to pick unusual pieces and especially shoes. So I’m concerned I’m too “out there “. Anyway I really enjoy your videos. Thanks again.
I want to say a huge thank you for all of the tips. I recently got an amazing compliment from a close friend who says I always look expensive even though I definitely am not dressing expensive. Thank you for helping me step up my style game
Erin, you are great! I have always asked myself what is perfect? I think it is a society generated ideal that not everyone can really find the true definition of. I loved how you put it to us the other day, ''if you feel good, you look good'' . I have suffered with graves disease for many years and my weight has gone on a roller-coaster ride, so I have had to deal with a lot of different emotions and style changes to try and find myself. I am over it all already! I think if I am going to love myself then I just have to find clothes that make me feel good and must say if you wear something that really fits then you look better than trying to dress oversized and then you appear oversized (oh & I am also petite 1.62m) Wishing you well from Sunny SA! You rock Erin!
Yes 👏 I’m 9 months postpartum with my 2nd baby and this go round, I decided to buy things that fit and make me feel good rather than living in leggings until I lose the weight. It has made all the difference in how I feel. Love all these tips!
Thank you for this video. I needed to watch this. I just gave birth 3mos ago and haven't felt like myself since. I look at myself in the mirror and i feel ugly. I don't even want my partner to hug me in bed at night 'cos i feel so self conscious. None of my old clothes fit the same and i constantly think that i need to lose all my pregnancy weight straight away. I keep comparing myself to other Mums who seem to have just bounced back like nothing's happened. I haven't had any photos taken as well as i can't stand looking at myself. In order to feel better, i bought some clothes to dress the body i have now. I feel prettier when i put them on. My partner doesn't understand what im going through. I just want to feel pretty and sexy again and day by day, i know i will get there.
I am so sorry to hear of your struggles. You are not alone in these very real feelings that you are experiencing. Grant yourself grace in this time, and reach out for help when you need it. Take this journey one day at a time. Thank you so much for being here and for openly sharing your story with me. I am honored. xo
I know what you are feeling. My fourth baby boy is 7.5 months old and I started to work for one month ago only been able to fit in one pair of trousers and a couple of shirt dresses. I do healthy keto (thanx Dr. Berg) and I've just tried one of my skater above the knee dresses. And it fits me! A bit tight in chest. 16 more pounds to go. So happy about that! Step by step you will be there! But I don't wish to invest in new clothes as I know I can go back to my S size and be there for the rest of my life! Hugs!
Love your videos, and this one was such a heartfelt message that really came through. I am in good shape, but do find myself being critical of myself even if it’s just a few pounds over my ideal weight. The pressure we put on ourselves is sometimes overwhelming. Thank you for that reality slap! Oxoxoxox Even in Florida here today, on my errands I’m rocking my 70’s flare jeans, a cami and my favorite suede jacket. Head high, shoulders back and confident stride!
I love Evereve! I own so many Evereve or Nordstrom items . My new favorite jeans are a flare pair from American Eagle, because they have some Extra Shorts.
Hi Erin! I’ve been wanting to send you a message regarding your amazing video last week where you really opened up about body images and I was just so touched by your bravery and openness to share these things. Thank you for that. I’m someone that used to be very pretty but my love of cooking and eating junk like McDonald’s always won out. Those were my emotional eating days. I’m not even sure they’ve stopped, I’ve just been dealing with type 2 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis so I’m not as excited to just go buy a meal out not that I know what it’s all been doing to my body. Anyway I’m 5’9 and weigh 177 lbs. I need to lose 37 lbs. To look like my normal self. The thing is I really love fashion but I’m going through a bit of a fashion identity crisis because I’m 55 now and while everyone says I look younger I don’t really know and at this point it doesn’t matter. I’m just finding myself thinking I can’t wear a lot of things that I would have worn before. Do you have any advice for me? I am also in the middle of watching your manifestation video from last year and wonder if it’s too late for me to come up with a board for that? I know you have a ton of followers so I’ll understand if you can’t answer me. By the way I had just been noticing how pretty your arms are in this video and then saw from your manifestation video that someone insulted your arms. They are clearly jealous and mean spirited. I have gained weight in my arms which is very noticeable when certain sleeves don’t fit my arms. You truly look awesome just as you are. I was shocked that you’ve ever thought negatively about your body at first but then all I had to do was think of how when I was young I was told very often that I should be a model but I was super insecure on the inside. So anyway, I love your videos and take care, you’re a very special person!! 😊❤😊
Thank you SO much for your sweet and thoughtful message, Valarie. I'm so glad you are here and finding that my videos resonate with YOU.

Best choice of words ever; wear something sexy, beautiful, flattering.....NOW. Sick of waiting...then just wear it. I agree! Thanks for this! Awesome! :))
love this ! im totally body confident now, its really how you feel and carry yourself! I think that all the platforms and seeing size inclusivity with retailers is really hitting the mark as well.!
I don’t see the little “poof” that you speak of! Just had this conversation with my boss at the clothing store I work in. We each talk about our perceived flaws and body changes but we don’t see them on each other. While it’s good to accept the changes, more often than not, they are really only noticeable to ourselves. ♥️

You are so correct.
So true, we are our own worst critics!
You're exactly right. It's still a process to shift our mindsets. Thanks so much for watching and for this thoughtful comment! SO glad you are here, Jamie! xo
Yes, exactly, where the heck is that poof supposed to be? ; )
Erin, thank you for guiding us to finding a way to be comfortable where we are right now in life. You exude so much positivity and empathy. We need to encourage each other and build one another up.
You are amazing, Elizabeth! Truly appreciate your comment more than you know! xo
Erin, Please don’t call yourself dumb. You are light years away from being dumb. We are all here because of how brilliant you are!! We are all rooting for you!!! P.S. You ROCKED that body skimming dress!! ❤️
You are so sweet! Truly appreciate YOU and your support. xo
Erin,
You were inspiring and so warm-hearted. Your humility humbled me. I loved how you carried yourself and how you embraced yourself, setting a loving example for those of us going through bodily changes ❤
Thank you SO much for your thoughtful message. Truly appreciate YOU. We're on this tough journey together. xo
Hi Erin! Don't forget elevating you hair style a little sexy can also make a huge difference. Love!
Definitely so! Thanks for watching, Maria!! xo
Erin...keep pushing yourself thru this tummy issue...you have got this...many women would love to have your shape!! MUCH LOVE!!
Your videos are always a treat. Thank you for being so prolific and being YOU! Your personality shines through and it’s what we love about you- honest, vulnerable and relatable. And that you still reply to all the comments!❤️
Ps I also love that you read your notes off paper instead of mobile phones like so many people these days!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment and support, Anna!! Truly appreciate YOU! xo
It’s nice to see your confidence coming back Erin I understand you’ve had a difficult time. Thank you for encouraging all of us today.

I have subscribed because there's a really kind, generous and realistic tone trending in your recent videos that is very appealing.
SO glad you are here, Maggie! Truly appreciate your support! xo
Agree
Best capsule video I’ve seen in ages - thank god there are none of those boring basics in shades and shapes that don’t really flatter - love the selection and options, even though not my style it’s very inspiring - I’m feeling more confident I can achieve my own beautiful capsule

I love coated jeans for the same reason!!
Accepting your flaws is the first step to be happy 😃. I’m 20 pounds over my weight (menopause) so glad to hear your advice. Keep us happy 😆
Thank you for reminding us that we don't have to look like we did before. So many of us are working to get through a history of disordered eating and self acceptance is key.
Thank you Erin! Your videos are such confidence boosters, you just really get how women in their 40s and 50s relate to their bodies!

I'll be wearing these booties SO much. Hope you love them just as much, Amy! xo

Giiiiiiirrrrrl... you rock it all you are beautiful inside and out. Love your inspiration.
You're the best, Alma! Thanks so much for your sweet comment. xo
appreciating how you approached this with subtlety and sensitivity. Smiling at the cut-out trend: have talked about this with my sister, we both grew up in 80s and 90s, been there/done that, hard NO. I do love the body-skimming knit, though, just without the chunks missing!
Totally fine! Only wear the things that you love and feel great in...Skip the cut-outs if it doesn't spark that joy for you! xo
Finding subtle ways to dress sexy is an excellent idea. I find that focusing on well tailored and more sophisticated clothing in general is a very sexy look as we get older. The opposite of ripped jeans, Vans and rocker tees.

Thank you so much! Here's my tips on helping your hair thicken up... my best tip is to implement collagen into your diet. Made the biggest difference for me. th-cam.com/video/Ul0lIoWzqJY/w-d-xo.html xo
Your content is my favorite for so many reasons, including your great fashion advice but also your awesome "psyche" advice. I feel so much better after watching your videos. You are making such a difference in so many ways, which definitely makes you a very special person.
Hugs❣
Hi, Erin love your video. Nice reminder you can wear anything with the right posture, confidence, and attitude even when you are heavier than you like. No one notices you just have to smile and own it.
SO true!
Exactly right! Thanks for watching, Loane! xo
@@BusbeeStyle Thanks, Erin I have watched your videos for the last few years and love the content and context you share. Many thanks from Queensland Australia xx
I think you have such a positive message for women, Erin. God-bless you. You are truly a gift to us. Love your channel!
Thank you for your kind WORDS for women experiencing menopause Body’s!!
I litteraly love all your outfits !
I feel so cool--I bought the Evereve sweater that you are wearing a few weeks back.
LOVE that! You ARE cool - and stylish! xo
Erin, I had to pause the video just to post this reply to you. You look absolutely STUNNING in that black dress!! Our perceptions of ourselves are tweaked. I get what you mean about the menopause weight because I'm right there myself. But trust me you look fabulous and I'm so excited to hear you encouraging women to accept their bodies where they are right now. Thank you so much!
You are too sweet, Cynthia! Thanks so much for your kind and thoughtful comment! xo
Thank you thank you thank you for addressing the body image and body love issues we have. You are such an encouragement
I'm watching you from Poland and I love your style, combination of the American and European styles. I'm waiting for the next one because it is a real pleasure to watch you and be inspired.
SO glad you are here and that my messages speak to you! xo
Hi Erin, love the video, I’m in my late 60’s and l still look really good and I love to add a bit of Sexy to my outfits for ME and my husband. 🌷🌷🌷
Cathy Hanson~ Me too! 70, and weight train and workout 6 days a week. Don't think or dress 'old lady'. Love classy timeless with subtle sexy!
Love to hear that, Cathy! Thanks so much for sharing! xo
I’m with ya girl!👏🏽🥰
This I think was one of your best videos. I think the content with practicality was spot on! Nice Job!
That was a really great talk you gave about feeling confident about your body even if it isn't perfect or as good as it used to be. I have been struggling with that concept for the past several years and I think you have just inspired me to stop hiding myself.
Loved the video. Would you share your eye make up products/look? I love it! It really makes the light in your eyes shine.
Love love your channel! One other change I have made as I get older, 49 here, is that I am incorporating color in any outfit I wear. I get alot of compliments on my unique style. I even changed up my hairstyle that was hard to do but now I feel more free! Appreciate all your videos at being classy and trendy at our age!
LOVE that! Thanks for sharing! xo
Thank you for reminding us to stop comparing ourselves to ourselves!!
Hey Erin, thanks for another great video. Love your content, but mostly your honest talk and inspiration.
SO glad you are here and enjoying my content, Jen. I'm honored to have women like YOU here in this amazing community! xo
You’re my new fashion hero. I’ve been stuck in the “athleisure” trend for way too long. I miss the cool clothes I used to wear when I traveled for work. Now that I’m post menopausal, I’m always trying to hide the belly. I’m petite, too (5 feet even), so choices seem much more limited. Thanks for being so open and for these types of videos!
Thanks so much Erin I feel I deffinately need to feel good about myself
Loved this video. You're the best.
Aw, thank you SO much! I'm so glad you enjoyed this one! xo
Love this woman style. She’s pure class.
You are too sweet! Thank you SO much for that. So glad you are here! xo
I loved every outfit! I can definitely see myself wearing that black fitted dress with some white sneakers! ❤
Love that idea. Perfect casual yet chic style! xo
I think that fashion choices, regardless of age, should really reflect who you are as a person as well. I just turned 53 last week, and I absolutely love shopping at places like Hot Topic and Dolls Kill, which are definitely geared towards women much younger than me. But I really like my "eccentric" side to show, and many outlets that are for women my age just seem so...dull. You just don't go for the stuff that shows too much skin, and it's really pretty easy to put together an outfit that shows your creativity while also being flattering. (I also have a great collection of colorful wigs from Amazon that are super cheap that I wear, as I lost a ton of hair due to a major illness last year. And everywhere I go, I get compliments on both the outfits AND the wigs.) ❤️
Additionally, if you can't walk in those dumb spike heels everyone seems to love these days, but like the added height, Dolls Kill has an amazing selection of chunky platform heels that are to die for. I personally love my 5 inch Mary Janes. 🙂
Thank you! Going to order the blazer and white blouse! I always come back to your channel!
I hope you love them, Sharon! Thanks for watching! xo
Love this specific video! You always strive to bring out the best and provide encouragement sprinkled with tips to look for and incorporate with fashion! I recently broke my shoulder and I have felt awful about dressing because of a sling! I'm 63and this has really set me back. I listened to your encouragement and Wow! I feel better all ready! Love EVEREVE! Thx, Erin! Love your work! ♥️😎
I am so sorry to hear of your injury, Cindi. That surely does make dressing tougher... I guess that means it's time to get creative, right? I'm SO glad this helped give you some encouragement and inspiration! Thanks so much for being a part of this amazing community! xo
Great video! Loved the examples showing your suggestions and the closing words were dynamite.
Thank you for the encouragement! I have hit menopause, have gained weight, and don't feel so hot. I needed the pep talk.
oh I LOVED that first dress😍😍😍
Moving to Texas has been an eye opener
I look around and see bigger woman dressed form fitted they look so cute
I also struggle with getting caught up on the tiny parts of my body that I hate
I’m 45 and mom of 6 , the body just isn’t what it was
anyways thanks for touching on body
positivity ❤
It's a constant and ongoing (and TOUGH) process. Thanks so much for watching and sharing a bit of your own story here, Bambi! xo
You ever look at past photos of your younger self? And you think about all the things you were self conscious about while you were younger...while you realize just how great you looked in the past and just how silly you were to be self conscious? That's how your older self will see your now self, so rock what you got like your 75 year old self is whispering in your ear how great you really look.
I just bought dark blue and black 70’s vintage high rise flare jeans from Gap. I love the revival! Thx, Erin! You look awesome!
Love it! Thanks so much for watching, Cathy! So glad you enjoyed this one. xo
Thank you again for this positive message. Dress for the body you have now and know what styles flatter you the most. I think most women look better than they think they do. 👍🏼
This video was much needed for me. Fantastically inspiring.
I love the jeans, white shirt and belt!!! That looks amazing on you
I love this and the last video. I’m 67 and have maintained a 60 pound loss for 6 months. The eating well is the easy part. I’m learning to appreciate this physical form and all it is for me. I do see my saggy skin and flattened butt…and smile. I think there are so many beautiful women who miss their own beauty. So I cut off my T-shirt sleeves and cropped them to wear at home so when I pass the mirror I will stop and smile. I love that black dress and the peplum top, and all the rest. I live in a small rural ranch town so… high rise flared jeans, leather belts and boots and little lace will work for me here. Loved seeing you today.
It's a process, and not an easy one. We're working through this together, Sabrina. Thanks so much for sharing this! xo
Thank you so much. I was feeling pretty defeated today and you gave me some great ideas for some pieces to make me feel better where my body is right now!
I am so glad this was inspiring for YOU! You and your body deserve to feel that love right now. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing that with me. SO glad you are here! xo
Those boots are THE cutest I’ve seen so far! Hope they’re linked! 🤩 Loved the white top also!
Aren't they great?? Here's the link, everything featured is also linked in the description box! Thanks so much for watching! xo

Thanks for all your help and suggestions to look good at any age 🥰
Your so sweet thank you for showing up, your encouraging.
Hey Erin. I am loving the complete package you have been giving us. It’s about the whole person and your are bringing it to the forefront. I really appreciate it!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Truly appreciate your thoughtful message, Janice! I'm so glad to have amazing women like YOU here with me! xo
@@BusbeeStyle Boulder and Telluride, like minds😉💖💖💖
loved the message you conveyed here...all women deserve to feel sexy, no matter the size or age. BTW, you looked great in all the outfits, I feel like moving into your closet forever
Awesome video! The best line: it doesn’t matter what size you are. This is the truth! I have seen plenty of larger framed women that were totally rocking something that I couldn’t imagine myself doing. Let’s all wear fun stuff! Life is too short.
Thank you. I love what you say about wearing what you want and not denying yourself the pleasure of the piece because you have a tummy. At my age I’m always asking others if I’ll look like foolish in this or that. I tend to pick unusual pieces and especially shoes. So I’m concerned I’m too “out there “. Anyway I really enjoy your videos. Thanks again.
Great tips! Love where you are in the moment!
I want to say a huge thank you for all of the tips. I recently got an amazing compliment from a close friend who says I always look expensive even though I definitely am not dressing expensive. Thank you for helping me step up my style game
I'm honored to be a small part of your style journey, Bianca! Thank you SO much for being a part of this amazing community! xo
thanks for this. I am struggling. one thing that is timeless and fun is the fitted slip and the sheer dress. It's incredibly forgiving and versatile.
Loved everything on you! You look 🔥 Never liked the cropped jeans because I’m 5’10, hope that goes out soon.
Great video Erin!!!!! I am rocking the poof!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Erin, you are great! I have always asked myself what is perfect? I think it is a society generated ideal that not everyone can really find the true definition of. I loved how you put it to us the other day, ''if you feel good, you look good'' . I have suffered with graves disease for many years and my weight has gone on a roller-coaster ride, so I have had to deal with a lot of different emotions and style changes to try and find myself. I am over it all already! I think if I am going to love myself then I just have to find clothes that make me feel good and must say if you wear something that really fits then you look better than trying to dress oversized and then you appear oversized (oh & I am also petite 1.62m) Wishing you well from Sunny SA! You rock Erin!
Hi erin…so glad u finally came out strong n empowering not only to yourself but to all of us. You exude true beauty🌹 thank u so much for the video
Truly appreciate YOU and your genuine support. Thanks so much for being here, Aida! xo
Thanks Erin for this. You always look amazing and give me inspiration to be confident again.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this video and are feeling more confident with these tips! Thanks SO much for watching, Tanya! xo
Erin - Thanks for being you and bringing us along. ❤️
I'm honored to have amazing women like you here with me! Thanks so much for your sweet comment, Treva! xo
Yes 👏 I’m 9 months postpartum with my 2nd baby and this go round, I decided to buy things that fit and make me feel good rather than living in leggings until I lose the weight. It has made all the difference in how I feel. Love all these tips!
Makes such a difference. SO glad you are dressing for you right now, Danielle! xo
Thank you for this video. I needed to watch this. I just gave birth 3mos ago and haven't felt like myself since. I look at myself in the mirror and i feel ugly. I don't even want my partner to hug me in bed at night 'cos i feel so self conscious. None of my old clothes fit the same and i constantly think that i need to lose all my pregnancy weight straight away. I keep comparing myself to other Mums who seem to have just bounced back like nothing's happened. I haven't had any photos taken as well as i can't stand looking at myself. In order to feel better, i bought some clothes to dress the body i have now. I feel prettier when i put them on. My partner doesn't understand what im going through. I just want to feel pretty and sexy again and day by day, i know i will get there.
I am so sorry to hear of your struggles. You are not alone in these very real feelings that you are experiencing. Grant yourself grace in this time, and reach out for help when you need it. Take this journey one day at a time. Thank you so much for being here and for openly sharing your story with me. I am honored. xo
Congratulations! Welcome new baby.
I know what you are feeling. My fourth baby boy is 7.5 months old and I started to work for one month ago only been able to fit in one pair of trousers and a couple of shirt dresses. I do healthy keto (thanx Dr. Berg) and I've just tried one of my skater above the knee dresses. And it fits me! A bit tight in chest. 16 more pounds to go. So happy about that! Step by step you will be there! But I don't wish to invest in new clothes as I know I can go back to my S size and be there for the rest of my life! Hugs!
Thank you Erin for such inspiring videos. I really love your style! I also wear headbands though I am 38 years old!
So happy that you bought clothes for your body shape right.now! You are beautiful and your body is AMAZING! It made a human! :)
You are always fabulous! That black dress is amazing. You are truly an inspiration🌹🌹🌹
Love your videos, and this one was such a heartfelt message that really came through. I am in good shape, but do find myself being critical of myself even if it’s just a few pounds over my ideal weight. The pressure we put on ourselves is sometimes overwhelming. Thank you for that reality slap! Oxoxoxox Even in Florida here today, on my errands I’m rocking my 70’s flare jeans, a cami and my favorite suede jacket. Head high, shoulders back and confident stride!
It's so hard, Sally! You are not alone in these feelings and struggles. SO glad you are here and finding my tips helpful. xo
I love Evereve! I own so many Evereve or Nordstrom items . My new favorite jeans are a flare pair from American Eagle, because they have some Extra Shorts.
LOVE to hear that, Lorraine! Thanks so much for watching. xo
You look utterly amazing in this dress!
Aw, thank you SO much for that sweet comment, Michelle! xo
Good job!!! A lot has to do with being secure with yourself! You have awesome taste!
Hi Erin! I’ve been wanting to send you a message regarding your amazing video last week where you really opened up about body images and I was just so touched by your bravery and openness to share these things. Thank you for that. I’m someone that used to be very pretty but my love of cooking and eating junk like McDonald’s always won out. Those were my emotional eating days. I’m not even sure they’ve stopped, I’ve just been dealing with type 2 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis so I’m not as excited to just go buy a meal out not that I know what it’s all been doing to my body. Anyway I’m 5’9 and weigh 177 lbs. I need to lose 37 lbs. To look like my normal self. The thing is I really love fashion but I’m going through a bit of a fashion identity crisis because I’m 55 now and while everyone says I look younger I don’t really know and at this point it doesn’t matter. I’m just finding myself thinking I can’t wear a lot of things that I would have worn before. Do you have any advice for me? I am also in the middle of watching your manifestation video from last year and wonder if it’s too late for me to come up with a board for that? I know you have a ton of followers so I’ll understand if you can’t answer me. By the way I had just been noticing how pretty your arms are in this video and then saw from your manifestation video that someone insulted your arms. They are clearly jealous and mean spirited. I have gained weight in my arms which is very noticeable when certain sleeves don’t fit my arms. You truly look awesome just as you are. I was shocked that you’ve ever thought negatively about your body at first but then all I had to do was think of how when I was young I was told very often that I should be a model but I was super insecure on the inside. So anyway, I love your videos and take care, you’re a very special person!! 😊❤😊

I just walked into an Evereve store in Michigan for the first time and WOW the really do have nice things!!
LOVE everything from Evereve. So glad to hear you do too, Mary! xo
Thank you!!! You ARE beautiful inside and out!!!
Best choice of words ever; wear something sexy, beautiful, flattering.....NOW. Sick of waiting...then just wear it. I agree! Thanks for this! Awesome! :))
You always nail it with style details and how to look age appropriate but on trend ! You need to write a book ❤
Erin, you look absolutely fantastic! Love Evereve- thx much for sharing!!
You're so sweet, Linda! Thanks so much. Love hearing that Evereve is on your favorites list too!! xo
Thank you for being “real” about our body, during and after menopause, it’s really a challenge what to wear to hide some of the “poof”
love this ! im totally body confident now, its really how you feel and carry yourself! I think that all the platforms and seeing size inclusivity with retailers is really hitting the mark as well.!
Thank you Erin! I needed to hear this. You are spot on. It’s easy to hide our body when we feel it’s not perfect. I do that all the time.
You always make me smile with your funny modeling poses!!🤣🤣 Thanks for the chuckle and the great advice!
SO glad I'm making you laugh, Penelope! Fashion should be fun! xo
You look fabulous!
Great video, as always, Erin. It's because of you that I shop at Evereve. Loved all your suggestions and all the outfits. 💖🌻🍁🍂
LOVE that, Josette! They've got some of the best styles! xo
You look fabulous
