Thank you about the hair. I spent 30 plus years as a police officer and kept it short. Now I am retired and have long hair. It looks great. So many people have said, "oh I thought you would have kept it short now that you are over 50." Good thing I am not armed anymore. Lol.
Wearing your hair short helps its strength. I see many people who had long hair growing up.Now their hair is fine and receding. I had short hair for years. Now its long,blonde and healthy.
And not only. It is sooo deliberating. As long as we chase youth we'll be very dissapointed and unhappy. As we can't reverse the clock no matter what we do or how hard we try. As soon we embrace ourselves and our age life feels good again.
I agree with you Beth about age and the way we dress. I never think about my age when I am buying clothes. If I like it and think I look good in it, I buy it.
Me as well. I have a lot of health conditions but I never let it stop me from putting myself together before I leave the house and making sure that everything I wear makes me feel good
I am so happy you mentioned the fact that we don't need to try to look 10 years younger. Nothing wrong with looking our own age while being chic and stylish. I feel most comfortable just being myself. Thank you for your lovely videos that are such an inspiration to be polished and joyful with style!
I told you is just a number or number of your house. You feel young! so wear young style, & it will reflect in your personality. We’re already old,& yet we wear old style/fashion?? Then the more we look ooolldd.Whe. You feel young, you wear young, you look young.. period. Life is too short, whatever we make happy! Go for it, Sweetie😊😀😘
@@Hans6789-j9t hi, i am watching from the Philippines & i am 68 but still wearing dress with high slit at the side, skirt above the knee & shorts. i even use crob blouses...
Thank you!. In just 6 days I'll be 56. I stopped coloring my hair when the pandemic started. I never hid my age, but I've neglected my appearance at this time. I was motivated by your video. A hug from Honduras
Beth, thank you for this message I'm 66 and I agree with just about every word you said. I'm not hiding my age and I'm often offended by favorite bloggers whose platform seems to always be, how to look younger! I don't want to look younger, I just want to be the best Me, I can be. The one thing I question is hair. My hair like yours has always been short, now it's shorter! But I do know a couple of ladies where the long hair really does drag their faces down and they look much older to me. For them shoulder length would probably work better. I love long silver locks, but I think you have to study your face in a mirror and decide if the long hair is still attractive or not. Thanks again for this video. So many women are so insecure as they get older, and they need to hear, It's ok! We don't need to be 20 again!
I think you have to study your features and see what hair length suit you better and that goes for any age!!! long hair did not suit me very well after my teens!!!!
I agree with you. I'm 57 and I am proud of my age! I don't want to "look good for my age," I want to just, look good. I've always had my hair on the short side too, only because I have so many issues with my hair. I've found a bob which suits me and I've kind of stuck to it. I do let it grow out and sometimes I do different versions of bobs but that's definitely my preference.
Dear Beth, thank you again for the great message you sent today. Grace, kind, selfconfidence and to be supportative is what actually make us bright at a certain age! Let's enjoy it. ❤️
Thank you for this! I've been feeling sad,because I am older. But you opened up my eyes too alot of things. I am going to embrace my age and be happy. Blessings!
Totally agree. Our health is the most important. With health and positivity we’ll achieve a great life for ourselves, family and friends. I appreciate you and your channels / content.
Hi .Beth I'm agree but when someone tell you .you look younger .I feel great yes but I like when I feel comfortable .love too see your video because your style elegant and conservative.thanks again blessings🍁🍂👜💃💃
My sister passed on at the age of 36 after a courageous battle from cancer. So every year we live is a gift! we should be blessed & proud to say our age! However, women will avoid telling their age ( & weight) because this country encourage them to do so after 39! Yet older men are supported when they brag about their age and weight. Such shallow double standard! You dress like my amazing sister Angela which is a HUGE compliment! Angela look like Susan Luccie from All My Children. She was such a class act lady and humble genius as well. Angela was the best daughter, mother, wife, registered nurse, and friend and neighbor! Truly enjoy your station.Thank you and blessed new year.
Variety is the spice of life... you said it correctly. To be you and wear what makes you feel good. Thank you for this video Beth, you are the best at motivating us and supporting other women♥️
Hi Beth, totally agree with you that we are not trying to look younger we are looking to be the best version of ourselves inside and out. Loved your video and tips!
Your points made clear how skewed perceptions on aging for women can be. As someone whom is rediscovering my own style at a certain age, I enjoyin my long silver hair and how I dress which includes midi shirts which has always been my favorite. You shorter skirts suit you to a tee. Thank you once again for keeping up the good work!!!
It’s great to see that you are still wearing shorter length skirts and not feeling you have to cover your surgery scar. I’ve had a big hunk taken out of my leg due to cancer. For a while I felt I should cover my legs by wearing longer skirts and dresses or even long trousers for summer. Just was too hot. So if folk have a problem seeing a scar, well it’s their problem not mine! I enjoy your blogs thank you Beth.
I think my style was always classic. I couldn’t afford to get every new trend off the runway. I still have beautiful classic pieces I purchased 20 years ago. I love adding trendy pieces that don’t break the bank. One thing I think keeps me feeling young is always changing my hair with a fresh new color or an extreme cut from long to short. God Bless, love your channel.
I’m 62 and I love your style and your positive advice. I just want to look and feel my best for who I am right now. I love to look stylish and not frumpy.
Thanks for your positive and encouraging attitude to look and feel our best. I wish more ladies had a chance to see you regularly. Why do we judge ourselves so harshly and compare ourselves to others? Let's celebrate being ourselves and enjoy these amazing years so many never have a chance to experience. Blessings to you Beth! Keep up the good work!
So happy to have found your channel. We are the same age and I am happy to be 62. I am still working and have enough free time, now that the children have moved on, to go on daily walks and to learn a new language. I also enjoy the company of my 4 grandsons regularly. Thanks for your comforting words and for confirming what I already knew.
I'm only 5'2" tall. Almost any skirt is below my knees and a lot of them have hems that can't be shortened. I just go with whatever it is. If it's long, it's long. In that case, I try to go with a boho feel for daytime. I'd like to wear short because I also live in a warm place but I don't find enough things that can be shortened. I try to pair a longer skirt with a barer top. Not revealing but sleeveless, or with straps or even off the shoulder.
I'm with you on embracing how I look with just being me at 66 y/o. I love wearing makeup and my hair being silver. I keep current with my hair and how I look overall. And I get a lot of compliments!
I'm 40 and I watch all your videos and follow you exactly because I believe that age is of no importance when it comes to beauty and elegance! Keep up with the good work!
My active mother is in her 80's and delighted summer will soon arrive so she can wear stylish shorts again! Also, I loved your comment regarding positive attitudes! Thank you!
Beth I do enjoy your videos very much. At 52, amd pretty young and fit appearing I don’t listen to all the rules. By the way the colors you are wearing look absolutely amazing on you! Your eyes are just sparkling!
I love that you rock your natural gray hair with a cute short haircut. I am 65 and have just lost 55 lbs.I can finally tuck in my shirts and where belts. I wear what I like without looking like a child. A person can look classy and modern, and also look modest. I have a short asymetrical gray haircut.
Great video! Kindness is an important aspect of being elegant. Kindness to ourselves and others is also to understand and support those who are different and do not follow the same “rules”.
Beth, again you are bang on!!! Age is all about feeling good about your self not what others think about you. You always look glam and confident your self Beth. This is why I love your style and tips on aging with swag!!
I loved this video and thank you so much! I love aging, I am 51, and I wear my skirts, and shorts above the knee. I feel as you do, if you feel comfortable in what you wear then wear it!
Love it. Thanks for challenging the usual script. Simply, you look good, avoid looking frumpy, have a haircut that suits you, long or short. I'd like to add, if I see one more style tip video that favours a "heel" as "better" than a flat, I'll scream. In my 50's and haven't worn heels for decades, nor can I. I refuse to be uncomfortable. Wearing shoes bad for your feet (high, pointy, hard, poor fit) will usually have consequences later in life. You can have the most expensive, most beautiful shoes in the world, but if you aren't comfortable in them there's no point.
I totally agree with you, but what’s more important,,, wear what suits you. This goes for young and old. We all have different body shapes. Knowing what suits you is KEY imo! x
I've watched a few of your videos today and they are so positive. I have osteoporosis and kyphosis so looking good is so important to me so I look like the best me at almost 70. You are giving me the confidence to continue with the style I still feel is me.
Thank you for your inspiring comments on aging.. and I love that you said we dont need to look younger to look good. getting older is a privilege denied many and we should embrace the years .
I am so glad Beth that you addressed #3 and #4 and #5. #5 ... I love to wear skirts above the and add a pretty, feminine and Victorian vibe lace skirt extender. Thank you Beth, for the supportive and positive attitude towards each other. ❤ from North Carolina.
Hello Beth, great video, I am 54 & I agree with everything you say. I too, have had very short hair since forever! I love your hair cut & colour, & the colour of your eyes is beautiful by the way. In the media there is too much negativity towards older women, what we "should" not do or not wear once we hit 50, I think that being the best version of ourselves is a great philosophy. I have a t-shirt that says "I may be old, but at least I got to see all the great bands" which is actually true!
I wish I could give you two thumbs up for this video. While my own personal style is different from yours, I subscribe precisely because of this healthy attitude that you espouse. Thank you for this breath of fresh air.
Hi Beth...I’m 76 and appreciate all your videos and positive comments for us who are over 50+. We’re healthy, vibrant and don’t want to sit home in rocking chairs! I go to the gym for Silver Sneaker classes three days per week and enjoy going out with friends as well as playing Mahjongg to challenge my mind. We can do what we enjoy at this age and “be the best we can be”.
When I go through my clothes, (about every 3 years) I always keep the classic pieces so now I only replace (the overly loved and worn pieces) what I need this is a money saver. Styles come and go, it's your personal touches, color matching, and accessorizing that complements everyone's personality. Love your tips, and guidance Beth.
Great advice all the way through!! We never seem to give ourselves enough credit, instead of finding our confidence and being our best on our own. You are very helpful being an encouraging friend from afar. Have a great week ahead!💕
Thank you!! Spot on about the typical age related beauty topics that are always talked about for us over 40, 50, 60! What we should do, should not do and why frumpy is a word attached to older women! I love it when women such as yourself promote aging as positive and beautiful!! I have learned to dress the way I feel comfortable abs wear my hair and makeup according to what works best for me. I am 63! The only issues I struggle with are wearing styles that are geared more for much younger body types. The reason is because I am petite at 5’2 and I weigh 120. So to find clothes that fit I have to shop in the junior department which styles are for teens! Anyway, admire your attitude and classy attire!
I think less is more now at 70.......quality pieces I love, even if I have to make them myself. I can be the me I have always wanted, the artist I never had time for, and the bohemian tree hugger:)
Absolutely - couldn't agree more. I'm catching up with your older videos so sorry to be late to the party. The well known UK TV cook Nigella Lawson said how lucky she felt when she turned 50 because she had lost her sister to cancer in her 30s. You are absolutely right that growing older is a privilege and something to celebrate and be positive about. We are lucky to have made it this far. I'm 4 years on from a cancer diagnosis myself and luckily I seem to have got over it but boy am I happy to be here and will be celebrating reaching 63 next birthday.
I was excercising and finally got my weight down to where I was on the thinner side. I was riding my home exercise bike last spring and I was on the last ten minutes of my work out. I suddenly felt something down there if you know what I mean. I got off of my bike and went to the bathroom and got a mirror and my uterus prolapsed to second stage! I agree with the legnth of a skirt. I had lots of frumpy long dresses. I have gotten rid of all of my frumpy dresses this year and revamped my entire wardrobe. I know wear that little black dress. I have gained 40 pounds because of menopause and my prolapsed uterus but I actually feel better about myself like this. I got a cute long layered bob and started to henna my hair black again. I have gone back to my goth style vibe with a short black cute stylish dress fish nets and Doc Martins. I used to have black hair and dress for rock n roll shows when I was younger. My little sister said I looked the best like that. I couldn't see it then like that but now I do. I am a strict vegan now going on 4 years and I feel so much better. My cholesterol is back to normal and my mind is clearer. So rock that skirt above the knee ladies if that's what makes you feel happy and not down in the frumps. Lol
I lived in Paris, France for ten years and not once did any French person say I "looked good for my age". In France, your age does not matter at all. French women embrace aging so much that I don't they even think aging at all!! When I got back stateside is when I was told "you look good for your age". I finally got disgusted with the ageism is our society that the last time a woman at work who loves to tell me remind me about my age and she is 20 years younger than me and overweight. I am fit and I dress very well. I responded, "I look good for any age including your age". She stopped giving her "back handed compliments" after that!
I spend a lot of time with people much younger than me. I'm one of the oldest people doing my sport. I usually think that it helps keep me young. But lately have been feeling old, and feeling the age difference. But THIS is what 54 looks like for me. And my sport does keep me young and fit!
So agree with all you have said! Nice to hear it said as I have a lot of friends who could use your advice. Eating healthy and exercise is so important but so many do not put in the effort! Use it or lose it applies here! I am 60 and grateful that my Mom was always exercising and passed that down to me! I like to hike outdoors, ski both downhill and cross - country and bike. Try new activities and keep on learning!
I’ve been given many complements over the years about how I dress & look. I try to wear stylish modern clothes appropriate for a “Mature Woman” of a certain age & don’t follow trends. I dress up everyday, do my make-up & hair even if I don’t have plans to go anywhere. It just makes me feel good about myself to do so. You’re a great role model & I love yr positive attitude about aging gracefully, staying strong & beautiful.
You are an inspiration and very elegant. It’s like listening to a smart and caring friend. We need more positivity on getting older and staying relevant.
I am so happy to FINALLY hear someone counter the age myths that so many style bloggers are putting out there and most are quite younger than 60 having absolutely no concept as to how it feels to be 60 and older. I am turning 68 this year and feel quite vibrant and alive in my skin. I wear the skinny jeans, above the knee skirts/dresses, shorts, off shoulder tops, and I sport long hair. In the summer, I love to wear sandals and open toe shoes so I will hit those nails with florescent orange or coral polish! Since being in lockdown for the past year, my hair has grown quite a bit longer and I have no intentions on cutting it. My fashion style is quite eclectic and, oftentimes, fun! I have my classic look days; however, some days I choose a more cheeky look. I am not going to choose outfits that are inappropriate and would not choose clothing items that are going to make me appear “trashy”. Clothes should be fun and playful, yet appropriate for the occasion. How we dress should embrace our inner beauty and project confidence and self-awareness. I am certainly not one who can be put in a box...heck...I couldn’t even get in the box as that seems to be my cat’s favorite place to hang! Personal style seems to evolve over the years, so it is going to be interesting to see where this journey takes me over the upcoming years!! Thanks for a great video!!
Recently, I have reconnected with friends from 30 years ago. We cannot tell each other's age anymore from our appearance. Some look like how I remember them from long ago while others have significantly looked older. Most have changed their disposition for the better. A few have become more interesting.
Thank you Beth, for very good advice! A better version of ourselves, is a more realistic approach to age, than trying to look younger. I appreciate your message!
You best vlog yet! Every word was worth gold. Thanks Beth. And I often see your instagram photos on the "younger" fashion vloggers videos. Be fresh, be new and be bold.
Dear Beth, congrats excellent video. What you say is true, we have to be posivite and understanding to each other. Style is a way to express about how we are feeling about ourselves. We all differ in fellings and how to express those through our outfits. Love your style, classy and elegant. Take care and be safe. Many thanks
I absolutely love your perspective! I agree with it wholeheartedly, and am always so surprised at how prevalent ageism for women is, still in 2020. I look forward to seeing this change and improve exponentially. It's time.
I’m 63 and have nicely shaped legs. I love wearing short skirts. And as you suggested in another video, I wear them with a discreet top. Thanks for affirming that it’s ok to rock this style!
Wow. That color makes your beautiful eyes pop!! You are beautiful!! I so enjoy your Chanel and content. I’m a curvy-licious 54 year old. A few years ago I started dressing to please my style preferences and interesting that at that time I started getting more compliments. Being true to yourself and loving yourself brings a beauty and confidence all of its own. Thanks for your Chanel and please keep the great inspiration coming.
OMG! I love you more now! You are telling what it is! I hope people be more positive and stop trying pushing people down. Fashion is so much fun and life is sooo good not matter the age! Let's enjoy it. Thanks gorgeous lady! My respect! 💚🙏
I was told the other day by another women that she thought I was 53 and I'm actually 63 :) but I think its because I don't follow rules and I feel youthful !!! I don't dress like a young women but I do still keep it fresh and know the classics. I enjoy watching trends but don't feel I need to follow ...At my age I know my body and what works and what doesn't work and I'm mindful of that :) There is one color that is beautiful on ladies of all ages and that's a beautiful soft pink/peach nice in a blouse or jacket !!! Iv also paired down my jewelry to a bit more delicate instead of the huge statement jewelry around my neck...Pearls are a girls best friend but not like grandma wore !!! I save my large pieces for my rings and bracelets ....Beth has wonderful tips !!! Be you :) Thank you Beth regarding at a certain age we don't have to cut our hair short :)
Thank you Beth! Thank you for the reminder that we are special and that of we have reached our age! It’s just because the Great God wants us here some time longer ! And we have to be thankful and live the best we can! With grace and dignity! Love your videos!
Thank you about the hair. I spent 30 plus years as a police officer and kept it short. Now I am retired and have long hair. It looks great. So many people have said, "oh I thought you would have kept it short now that you are over 50." Good thing I am not armed anymore. Lol.
Wearing your hair short helps its strength. I see many people who had long hair growing up.Now their hair is fine and receding. I had short hair for years. Now its long,blonde and healthy.
I love, “we are variety pack not a cookie cutter,” and so true of all of humanity.
Hello Sheila
Thank you Beth! You speak the truth. Embrace getting older. It is a gift that many are not granted.
U are great lady love your style
And not only. It is sooo deliberating. As long as we chase youth we'll be very dissapointed and unhappy. As we can't reverse the clock no matter what we do or how hard we try. As soon we embrace ourselves and our age life feels good again.

Great video Beth and very timely. Thank you! I am 75 and love being alive. Now that is ageless to me.
Hello Janet
When I was about 30, a relative told me that I was too old to wear above-knee skirts and ponytails! Oh, yeah? I’m still wearing them, 30 years later.
I love ponytails .... I’ll bet you look great because as we get older our faces become more sculpted and your ponytail probably makes you look great
I told you is just a number or number of your house. You feel young! so wear young style, & it will reflect in your personality. We’re already old,& yet we wear old style/fashion??

I love that you rock your natural gray hair with a cute short haircut. I am 65 and have just lost 55 lbs.I can finally tuck in my shirts and where belts. I wear what I like without looking like a child. A person can look classy and modern, and also look modest. I have a short asymetrical gray haircut.
Hello 👋
I agree with you 100%!! I'm 61 and rocking it. I had this exact conversation with a younger woman today. Here's to fierce fearless ageing.
Great video! Kindness is an important aspect of being elegant. Kindness to ourselves and others is also to understand and support those who are different and do not follow the same “rules”.
Well said!
Over fifty ??. You have earned the right to wear WHATEVER makes YOU feel good..and not care what anyone thinks .
I totally agree..I've taken very good care of myself and love wearing simple modern clothes..love it..
Very well done and said thank you I'm 72 but look 40s always told how I should dress
I think everyone does that anyway, no matter what their age
@@carolpowell2255 No, they don't.
Really???
Yeah, the police won't come, that doesn't mean you will look your best in whatever you decide to wear
Loved this video! Embracing our age and being comfortable with who we are inside are what count the most. I love being 59 and approaching 60 ❤️
Love that!
Beth, again you are bang on!!! Age is all about feeling good about your self not what others think about you. You always look glam and confident your self Beth. This is why I love your style and tips on aging with swag!!
Loved the style tip that I dont need to cut my hair shorter. Im approaching 50 and was starting to feel the pressure.
Thanks this is empowering
I loved this video and thank you so much! I love aging, I am 51, and I wear my skirts, and shorts above the knee. I feel as you do, if you feel comfortable in what you wear then wear it!
Love it. Thanks for challenging the usual script. Simply, you look good, avoid looking frumpy, have a haircut that suits you, long or short. I'd like to add, if I see one more style tip video that favours a "heel" as "better" than a flat, I'll scream. In my 50's and haven't worn heels for decades, nor can I. I refuse to be uncomfortable. Wearing shoes bad for your feet (high, pointy, hard, poor fit) will usually have consequences later in life. You can have the most expensive, most beautiful shoes in the world, but if you aren't comfortable in them there's no point.
I totally agree with you, but what’s more important,,, wear what suits you.
This goes for young and old.
We all have different body shapes.
Knowing what suits you is KEY imo! x
Hello Jackie
I've watched a few of your videos today and they are so positive. I have osteoporosis and kyphosis so looking good is so important to me so I look like the best me at almost 70. You are giving me the confidence to continue with the style I still feel is me.
You got this!
Well said, Beth. We want to look current and be our best, whatever that is.
Thank you for your inspiring comments on aging.. and I love that you said we dont need to look younger to look good. getting older is a privilege denied many and we should embrace the years .
Hello Shelley
I am so glad Beth that you addressed #3 and #4 and #5. #5 ... I love to wear skirts above the and add a pretty, feminine and Victorian vibe lace skirt extender. Thank you Beth, for the supportive and positive attitude towards each other. ❤ from North Carolina.
You are so welcome! A positive attitude is everything - towards ourselves and others.
Hello Beth, great video, I am 54 & I agree with everything you say. I too, have had very short hair since forever! I love your hair cut & colour, & the colour of your eyes is beautiful by the way. In the media there is too much negativity towards older women, what we "should" not do or not wear once we hit 50, I think that being the best version of ourselves is a great philosophy. I have a t-shirt that says "I may be old, but at least I got to see all the great bands" which is actually true!
Thanks for sharing!!
I wish I could give you two thumbs up for this video. While my own personal style is different from yours, I subscribe precisely because of this healthy attitude that you espouse. Thank you for this breath of fresh air.
aww, you made my day!
The painting behind you is lovely
Hello Lisa
Hi Beth...I’m 76 and appreciate all your videos and positive comments for us who are over 50+. We’re healthy, vibrant and don’t want to sit home in rocking chairs! I go to the gym for Silver Sneaker classes three days per week and enjoy going out with friends as well as playing Mahjongg to challenge my mind. We can do what we enjoy at this age and “be the best we can be”.
Hello Kathy
When I go through my clothes, (about every 3 years) I always keep the classic pieces so now I only replace (the overly loved and worn pieces) what I need this is a money saver. Styles come and go, it's your personal touches, color matching, and accessorizing that complements everyone's personality. Love your tips, and guidance Beth.
Thanks for sharing!!
Great advice all the way through!! We never seem to give ourselves enough credit, instead of finding our confidence and being our best on our own. You are very helpful being an encouraging friend from afar. Have a great week ahead!💕
Hello Patricia
Thank you!! Spot on about the typical age related beauty topics that are always talked about for us over 40, 50, 60! What we should do, should not do and why frumpy is a word attached to older women! I love it when women such as yourself promote aging as positive and beautiful!! I have learned to dress the way I feel comfortable abs wear my hair and makeup according to what works best for me. I am 63! The only issues I struggle with are wearing styles that are geared more for much younger body types. The reason is because I am petite at 5’2 and I weigh 120. So to find clothes that fit I have to shop in the junior department which styles are for teens! Anyway, admire your attitude and classy attire!
I was so frumpy in my 20s. I wish had had the style wisdom I I have now. I dress fabulously now in my 50s. I look at old pictures and wince.
I think less is more now at 70.......quality pieces I love, even if I have to make them myself. I can be the me I have always wanted, the artist I never had time for, and the bohemian tree hugger:)
I agree. I was so busy. Now I wish I had paid more attention to style, makeup and played with it!
Absolutely - couldn't agree more. I'm catching up with your older videos so sorry to be late to the party.
The well known UK TV cook Nigella Lawson said how lucky she felt when she turned 50 because she had lost her sister to cancer in her 30s. You are absolutely right that growing older is a privilege and something to celebrate and be positive about. We are lucky to have made it this far. I'm 4 years on from a cancer diagnosis myself and luckily I seem to have got over it but boy am I happy to be here and will be celebrating reaching 63 next birthday.
I was excercising and finally got my weight down to where I was on the thinner side. I was riding my home exercise bike last spring and I was on the last ten minutes of my work out. I suddenly felt something down there if you know what I mean. I got off of my bike and went to the bathroom and got a mirror and my uterus prolapsed to second stage! I agree with the legnth of a skirt. I had lots of frumpy long dresses. I have gotten rid of all of my frumpy dresses this year and revamped my entire wardrobe. I know wear that little black dress. I have gained 40 pounds because of menopause and my prolapsed uterus but I actually feel better about myself like this. I got a cute long layered bob and started to henna my hair black again. I have gone back to my goth style vibe with a short black cute stylish dress fish nets and Doc Martins. I used to have black hair and dress for rock n roll shows when I was younger. My little sister said I looked the best like that. I couldn't see it then like that but now I do. I am a strict vegan now going on 4 years and I feel so much better. My cholesterol is back to normal and my mind is clearer. So rock that skirt above the knee ladies if that's what makes you feel happy and not down in the frumps. Lol
Great message today. I agree with everything you said. Let's be kind and wear beautiful things, whatever they may be.
Exactly!
I lived in Paris, France for ten years and not once did any French person say I "looked good for my age". In France, your age does not matter at all. French women embrace aging so much that I don't they even think aging at all!! When I got back stateside is when I was told "you look good for your age". I finally got disgusted with the ageism is our society that the last time a woman at work who loves to tell me remind me about my age and she is 20 years younger than me and overweight. I am fit and I dress very well. I responded, "I look good for any age including your age". She stopped giving her "back handed compliments" after that!
I spend a lot of time with people much younger than me. I'm one of the oldest people doing my sport. I usually think that it helps keep me young. But lately have been feeling old, and feeling the age difference. But THIS is what 54 looks like for me. And my sport does keep me young and fit!
good for you!
Thank you Beth for breaking the old rules! You look fantastic always and you are an inspiration for all us! 💕💕
This just made my whole day! So empowering!
thanks so much for watching, jean!
Yes I agree with you, love the conversation
Hello Mona
So agree with all you have said! Nice to hear it said as I have a lot of friends who could use your advice. Eating healthy and exercise is so important but so many do not put in the effort! Use it or lose it applies here! I am 60 and grateful that my Mom was always exercising and passed that down to me! I like to hike outdoors, ski both downhill and cross - country and bike. Try new activities and keep on learning!
How awesome!! Preach it, Beth!!! Thx for your positivity!!!
Hello Tammy
I’ve been given many complements over the years about how I dress & look. I try to wear stylish modern clothes appropriate for a “Mature Woman” of a certain age & don’t follow trends.
I dress up everyday, do my make-up & hair even if I don’t have plans to go anywhere. It just makes me feel good about myself to do so.
You’re a great role model & I love yr positive attitude about aging gracefully, staying strong & beautiful.
You are an inspiration and very elegant. It’s like listening to a smart and caring friend. We need more positivity on getting older and staying relevant.
I am so happy to FINALLY hear someone counter the age myths that so many style bloggers are putting out there and most are quite younger than 60 having absolutely no concept as to how it feels to be 60 and older. I am turning 68 this year and feel quite vibrant and alive in my skin. I wear the skinny jeans, above the knee skirts/dresses, shorts, off shoulder tops, and I sport long hair. In the summer, I love to wear sandals and open toe shoes so I will hit those nails with florescent orange or coral polish! Since being in lockdown for the past year, my hair has grown quite a bit longer and I have no intentions on cutting it. My fashion style is quite eclectic and, oftentimes, fun! I have my classic look days; however, some days I choose a more cheeky look. I am not going to choose outfits that are inappropriate and would not choose clothing items that are going to make me appear “trashy”. Clothes should be fun and playful, yet appropriate for the occasion. How we dress should embrace our inner beauty and project confidence and self-awareness. I am certainly not one who can be put in a box...heck...I couldn’t even get in the box as that seems to be my cat’s favorite place to hang! Personal style seems to evolve over the years, so it is going to be interesting to see where this journey takes me over the upcoming years!! Thanks for a great video!!
Recently, I have reconnected with friends from 30 years ago. We cannot tell each other's age anymore from our appearance. Some look like how I remember them from long ago while others have significantly looked older. Most have changed their disposition for the better. A few have become more interesting.
Thank you Beth, for very good advice! A better version of ourselves, is a more realistic approach to age, than trying to look younger. I appreciate your message!
You best vlog yet! Every word was worth gold. Thanks Beth. And I often see your instagram photos on the "younger" fashion vloggers videos. Be fresh, be new and be bold.
You're the best!
I love the message soooo much. I feel like I've earned the right to do what I want. It's my time!
It is! It's your time now, our time, a great time.
@@nordlys3432 💯💯👏🏿👏🏿❤❤
Dear Beth, congrats excellent video.
What you say is true, we have to be posivite and understanding to each other. Style is a way to express about how we are feeling about ourselves. We all differ in fellings and how to express those through our outfits.
Love your style, classy and elegant.
Take care and be safe.
Many thanks
thanks for watching, tatiana!
I absolutely love your perspective! I agree with it wholeheartedly, and am always so surprised at how prevalent ageism for women is, still in 2020. I look forward to seeing this change and improve exponentially. It's time.
Hello Ann
I appreciate you so much
Keep promoting positivity
Thank you, I will
I’m 63 and have nicely shaped legs. I love wearing short skirts.
And as you suggested in another video, I wear them with a discreet top. Thanks for affirming that it’s ok to rock this style!
Hello Pinnacle
Thank you for such an inspiring video! As you said, we don't want to look younger, we want to look good, smarter & wiser in our own style...
A great video Beth, you brought up some great points.
I don't care about looking younger, only about looking as good as I can at the age I am now.
Hello Faith
I love your attitude, although honestly I'm going to follow all your advice with this one.
Hello Angela
So nicely said! I myself fall in this trap 'what I should or shouldn't wear at my age and it feels good to have some encouragement and support.
Hello Svetlena
I agree 💯 ! My favorite information reinforcement was the hair length. Healthy hair is a beautiful gift.
Thank you for carrying the banner against ageism that unfortunately permeates our society. Well done, Beth; this piece was a great confidence booster!
Yes! Thank you!
Loved this. A women can wear anything no matter her age as long as its done with class & elegance .
Like you Beth..
Hello Dee
Such a positive and uplifting video. Good advice for all ages. Thank you Beth. 😀
Thank you Beth! 💝💝💝
You are so welcome!
I'm just turning 62 in February and just started watching you.. I think I need a new hairstyle and I am loving yours..🤩
Yay! Thank you!
Hi Beth! Great to hear your amazing powerful message. I have always focused on being vibrant and alive which keeps me feeling the youthful me!
Thanks for sharing!!
Age is just number, just be YOU. Feel comfortable in your own skin, that is what is important overall.💞
Hello Elza
Love your sweater
Iam so glad that you debunked all those over 50 myths. We make our own choices, rules and we are all beautiful 😍
Love that!
Wow. That color makes your beautiful eyes pop!! You are beautiful!! I so enjoy your Chanel and content. I’m a curvy-licious 54 year old. A few years ago I started dressing to please my style preferences and interesting that at that time I started getting more compliments. Being true to yourself and loving yourself brings a beauty and confidence all of its own. Thanks for your Chanel and please keep the great inspiration coming.
Thank you! Will do!
So enjoyed these tips. I so love to embrace my 65 with Grace and confidence
aging is a privilege. thanks for sharing your positive attitude.
OMG! I love you more now! You are telling what it is! I hope people be more positive and stop trying pushing people down. Fashion is so much fun and life is sooo good not matter the age! Let's enjoy it. Thanks gorgeous lady! My respect! 💚🙏
You are so welcome
Great tips! And, yes(!), skirts above the knee look great, and they are a personal choice regardless of a woman’s age.
Absolutely!
I was told the other day by another women that she thought I was 53 and I'm actually 63 :) but I think its because I don't follow rules and I feel youthful !!! I don't dress like a young women but I do still keep it fresh and know the classics. I enjoy watching trends but don't feel I need to follow ...At my age I know my body and what works and what doesn't work and I'm mindful of that :) There is one color that is beautiful on ladies of all ages and that's a beautiful soft pink/peach nice in a blouse or jacket !!! Iv also paired down my jewelry to a bit more delicate instead of the huge statement jewelry around my neck...Pearls are a girls best friend but not like grandma wore !!! I save my large pieces for my rings and bracelets ....Beth has wonderful tips !!! Be you :) Thank you Beth regarding at a certain age we don't have to cut our hair short :)
Thank you Beth! Thank you for the reminder that we are special and that of we have reached our age! It’s just because the Great God wants us here some time longer ! And we have to be thankful and live the best we can! With grace and dignity!
Love your videos!
I totally agree with you!
