A very deep purple sweater, it was gorgeous, but now it wears me, so I gave it away. Softer colors really suit me now like that beautiful baby blue jacket you wore with the ankle grazing jeans and the t-shirt, which is a great idea. : o)
I follow the motto "just because I can, it doesn't mean I should ". I stopped wearing things like super high heals, mini skirts, tight dresses and revealing tops. They don't feel elegant.
I am in my late 50’s and I wear anything I want including crop tops. I work out everyday and in better shape than some 20 year-olds. I think it’s important to dress for your own liking instead of everybody else’s.
Once while speaking to my professor, he told me my blouse was unbuttoned. It was that third one, right in the middle, so you know what he saw. I instantly died and wanted to drop the class. From that point on, l couldn't look at him. You know l probably had been going to class to class to class.... Could of used some of that double sided tape that day.😮
I lost 60 pounds and need new clothes that fit. At 78, with newly Grey hair, I am baffled at what to purchase. I live a very casual life west of Chicago and need varying weather clothes. Your videos help.
Wow! I’ve just discovered your site, thank you so much I am 54 and I didn’t even realise that I have NEVER changed my style! Now I think a bit more about accessories as I am only 5ft I’ve made small changes that have made a big difference 😊. Thank you I will continue to keep watching.
Capri pants should not be made😏they really flatter no-one and there are so many great options now for shorts and trousers! I got rid of the ones I had a few years ago and never looked back!Thanks Deidre🙂
While watching this, I removed all my short cardigans from my closet that I haven’t worn in years anyway. They were classy pieces so felt I needed to keep them! 😬Thanks for helping me continue to pare down my wardrobe!
I keep things that fit well but aren't modern because they come back in style sooner or later. I just "store" them for a while. I only do this with some items I really love, not with everything.
Great tips! At 66, I’ve stopped wearing really short skirts, even though I have good gams. Wrinkles above the knees is just not a great look, I’m afraid. Otherwise, I still wear just about everything I wore in the past, but more color and more statement jewelry. I found I was falling into the trap of wearing mostly black or grey as I got older, which many older women do, but then I realized that it was making me look older! I still wear black and grey, but i always add a pop of red or other color with my jewelry, shoes or bag.
I am dedicating 2023 to self care. Part of it is to completely revamp my look & wardrobe so I am loving all your advice & tips. The shakes sound interesting too xx
I just discovered you and love this video! I am in my early 50's and stopped wearing distressed denim. It definitely didn't help with the elegant look I strive for.
Thank you, Deidre! I love the blue tailored shirt you styled today, and I feel good in that style. I’m definitely looking for longer pants and long shorts this season, rather than capris. Blessings!🌹
I love your suggestions. I'm 67. I don't mind oversized clothes, but I don't like to wear them because I barely weigh 100 lbs. I do like a bright red. I'll probably keep wearing a pop of pretty red! Thank you!
These are exactly the videos I need to watch. My fashion sense never was great and as I got older it just got harder. I agreed with all the outfits you put together! 👍
I live in hot and very humid North Carolina and I wear capris. I can’t wear shorts. Also wear cute T-shirt dresses. You definitely can’t wear denim pants here in spring and summer or until October unless you like to burn up! It’s the humidity!
I love the outfits you put together 💖. I’m over wearing rips in my jeans.I’d love to see more spring/summer outfit inspired videos as I have trouble putting pieces together.
Deidre I would think most of your subscribers are on the same page as you and can’t wait to tune in for all your good ideas and suggestions. I myself always watch out for your video posts. Thank you 🌸
You are right Deirdre , I too used to wear Lime Green and also Vivid Orange when I was younger with my Debbie Harry blonde hair . Now Im 65 and my hair is a silvery ash grey colour and my skin paler , ive swapped out for Soft Mint and Soft Peach instead . Funnily I never wore pink when I was a little girl , but now with my new older colouring I really suit it! But I go for a Nude Pink or Raspberry . Im gutted I no longer suit Bright Scarlet , but ive swapped that out for Wines and Claret which strangely being darker I do suit . Thanks for your Inspiration Deirdre❤
Another perfect and timely video, Deirdre! With us being on the cusp of spring it's a good time to rethink our wardrobes! It's truly amazing the difference adding a 3rd piece can make!! Have a fantastic week!!
I don't really know how all of this works but I'll give it a try... I'm so excited about becoming a Nona which isItalian & Elisi which is Cherokee for (grandmother)...we are taking a trip to NY to see him & I realize that I'm now in my 50's & have been out of what's in style or fashion game for some time and needed a great deal of help. That's when I found your video. I think that you have great fashion sense the cuts of clothing that helps or hurts women's figures our age...I'm thrilled that you talked to us about the clothing & the shakes because I've been talking with my doctors for years asking for anything to help me & they haven't so now I have hope that I can get well and feel better to spend more quality time with my children & now grandchildren. Thank you very much 😊
Hi Deirdre…I recently lost 20lbs and I’ve ruthlessly purged my closet. Felt so good! Also reintroduced some items from retirement including a Gucci belt that I can now do up! I love your videos and suggestions. They’ve really helped me in choosing looks that flatter my Apple shaped body! 😘 from 🇨🇦
I lost weight too, and man, did I get rid of those clothes fast. I really hated getting rid of my London Fog trench until I realized I could just buy a new one. Duh!
I am 48 and having lots of troubles!!! From hair thinning and turning grey to a 30lb weight gain:( I think you are beautiful and a great youthful looking example of what I’d love to try and emulate👏
You are such a pleasure to watch! Your tasteful and stylish eye guides us from the pitfalls of not dressing appropriately for our maturing stages. Thank you! Also, that blue shirt! ❤
Another great video, Deirdre! I know how hard it is to bck away from wearing baggy clothes to hide what we don't like. I did find when I bit the bullet and wore more form fitting clothes, I did look slimmer!
I think we tend to tell ourselves that baggier clothes will hide our bigger parts, when in fact they tend to also hide our smaller parts making us just look big all over. I am an hourglass with a waist and also a butt. I love to front tuck my shirt and blouse it out a bit in front. That makes my tummy recede and falls down over my bum. A fully tucked shirt with a belt and a jacket or cardigan also shows that I do, in fact, have a waist and gives a longer line in front. One of my favorite looks is to tuck a longer sweater or t-shirt in a bit just over one hip bone. It hides tummy and rear, shows that my legs do actually go up past the bottom of the shirt, and adds structural interest.
Great tips! Neutrals with a pop of color is my go-to. Love adding a bright handbag and/or shoes. The colorful pieces get compliments and I can change up the look easily to match the season.
This is the first time I have seen your video, and I was pleased to see that you cater for the older woman. Thank you, I shall look forward to watching again.
This new product looks interesting. Also, in my opinion, you look younger today in the blue shirt than in the green from a few years ago. I love how you are constantly looking for ways to improve how we can look and feel!
Today is Mother’s Day and ‘wow’ ……you have given me the idea for the perfect outfit to wear to the family get together today. Love this video and all of them I have been watching, Happy Mother’s Day to you also.
I'm 35, just recently found your channel and I really like your videos! Great advice, qualified and well done content, you are so positive, active, beautiful, the background that changes in every video is wonderful. I subscribe to some vloggers my age, but your taste and wardrobe suits mine better. Thanks for your videos! I'll definitely apply your advices, at least realized that I need to rip off the lapel of my capri and end them in trousers.
I’ve always thought loose fitting capris are not flattering at all! I do wear a shorter just below the knee pedal pusher tho that are closer fit. I’m 72!❤❤❤
Dear Deirdre, at our age we all have knowledge, more or less style, etc but I love your videos all the same. I'm too busy to follow trends all the time, for one thing. But more importantly, your positive vibe helps me move out of my concern zone; I feel rested as well as informed. Please keep making these videos on various items. ❤
I SO agree with all. Especially the capri pants, I am 5.4 too, with long legs and a shorter waist, well in capris I look like a short-legged stump, I am all of 100lbs!!! 👍
This was great! I live in Arizona where life is beyond casual and have fallen into the yoga pants or shorts every day. At 67 and quite small,I have trouble finding clothes that fit well and are cool. Since menopause the feel of the fabric is priority #1 as anything stiff or scratchy is a hard no. Looking forward to learning more from you!
I’m 75 and after watching several videos like this one completely updated and refreshed my wardrobe. It is fun and exciting to have a new look. This video and others like it changes lives💖
Those shakes sound interesting.. I agree with many of your points-I fall victim to some of these at times and def need reminders like these to STOP wearing them if I want to look and feel more youthful-don't we all!! xoxoKathy
I agree with you and your selections. I favor classical clothing. One brand that you may want to look into for yourself and your audience is the "Wit and Wisdom" jeans from Nordstrom, which are also marketed as "Democracy" jeans. As with NJDJ, they have a slimming panel and elasticized band in the back of the jeans, which really works for me because often times regular jeans will have a gap in the waist for me. So, I really find their jeans very comfortable and stylish.
Hi Deidre, such a blessing that I came across your videos today and have just subscribed too. I live in sunny South Africa and your fashion advice is like a breath of fresh air!! My almost 20-year old daughter, who has great fashion sense, recently told me I dress the same now as I did in my 20's ... a shocking realisation after looking at old photos!!! I'm loving your videos and practical advice, thank you so much!! So looking forward to spring-cleaning my cupboard and putting your advice to good use! Look forward to many more helpful videos from you. Have a great day!!
You validated what I have been wearing. I agree with the bagging look and never liked. I often wear a scarf and I wear colours that compliment by colouring ( I had my colours done)
Hi Deirdre, I only found your channel fairly recently. You're a joy to watch. Thanks so much for all the wonderful tips and advice. I've always loved fashion; styling myself and friends - when they've asked. As I've got older and as my body has changed a bit (weight gain) I've found it harder to know what works for me. Your channel is so helpful and is giving me such great ideas that are age appropriate and budget friendly. Thank you!
I stopped wearing Black all the time... and have tried lighter and brighter colours...getting a few compliments and more importantly I feel better for it.
I am 56 I just like too look smart I think is important to carry yourself well at my age I don’t feel my age so I’m always happy trying new trends I must be doing something right as my 27 year old daughter gets me giving her style tips 😂 xx
I love your videos the tips really help. I agree about capri trousers they always make someone look older. I take a well known multivitamin to help with post menopause, but would love to try the Bomimo product.
Hello There.. I am new here. Thanks for your fashion tips. I was told after 40 do not wear stripes or multi colors tops and to wear more solid color tops. At 60 . I love to look younger by dressing with right colors and styles.. . Really appreciate you. Have a Bless week.
Lovely video! I loved your examples. Please enter me in the giveaway and thank you for the information on a great way to stay healthy in this season. BLESSINGS ALWAYS 🙏
Ankle- grazer pants are what we used to call "high water pants" in a derogatory way, so I am not yet able to get enthusiastic about the look. I definitely do agree on the longer capris, tho, and much prefer skimmers (or what used to be called "pedal pushers")
Appreciate the advice about wearing baggy things...I found I have a tendency to wear these items trying to hide a bulging belly, yet I have realized it doesn't give me that put together look that I like...thank you.
I’ve been going through menopause for 20 years now and there seems to be no end in sight. Hormone therapy is out since I’ve had breast cancer. Thank you for this suggestion, I’m open to just about anything. I just hope it’s available in Canada.
The last outfit with your blue shirt and light pants looks so BEAUTIFUL on you!!!! All of them are nice, but the last one is just gorgeous and suits you perfectly.
A shirt with trousers so much nicer than a t shirt. Love the white T and jeans with that jacket too. Would love to try the chocolate milk, an easier way to get all those supplements I forget to take. Thanks Deirdre x
Thank you for the tips on looking fabulous! If the capri pants make the legs look wider- does that apply to the arms? Does a three quarter length sleeve make arms appear unflattering? Great video to watch and learn!
Thank you for your useful tips. I'm not great at accessorising and styling even though I pick nice one off pieces so they tend to get lost without the right styling or material matches. I look forward to watching more of these.😊
I sure do wish I had your figure!!!! I'm 5'0" and every pound shows!!! I am 73 and have decided to "tone down" my wardrobe, but only a little. I like unique/different clothes....not garish or anything, just not what you will see on everybody else. But some of the items I have probably really need to go. I don't want anybody thinking I've lost my mind in old age:) Glad I found your channel.
I'm 64 and got into a bad slump in my life and fashion. I decided to try a Keto diet because i hate my overweight body. My body loves keto. It simply burns off fat cells = dropped from size 20 to 16. I feel great and I need your posts because my fashion style needs to get in shape with me. Love,love the approach you take, you're a gem. I'm all for the Bomimo shakes because they are healthy and I could easily convert it to keto but, I had breast cancer a couple years ago. HERS2+ which means that my cancer type feeds of my estrogen. I take an estrogen suppressor so adding to my levels is out. I respectfully decline to enter this sweepsstake. Now if your raffling off shakes for hot flashes sign me up LOL
Now I feel like cleaning out my closet. It's a shame, a lot of my things I've never worn. I have a cardigan that's the shade of the center of an avocado. It's one of my favorite colors. I'm a dark brunette with olive skin and that color looks amazing on me. Oddly enough, I've never worn it because I'm waiting for a 'special occasion" to shine in it. The "special occasion" has never come up! Please sign me into the drawing for that age defying drink! I need it, I haven't found Prince Charming yet!
Enjoyed this very much. I've given up skinny jeans. I prefer a straight leg now. I agree with lose the cardigans. Not flattering. Longer one looks much better. Thanks.
I agree with every one of your suggestions but the one that struck me was the beautiful blue striped shirt with darts! I think darts are what is missing from my life and my wardrobe. I have a sewing machine and will be adding darts to many of my button downs....thanks for the suggestion!
Oh, the all over flower pattern blouse…I had 3 - 4, and on a small occasion for my son at school, I wore one which didn’t look matronly and when I saw what it looked like in a picture I threw them out. I asked my son if he noticed what I looked like in them, to which he said he thought I knew what they looked like but he didn’t want to make me feel bad. You, have legs you can show…some of us don’t (I always had a bit larger knees) and the heat in Tx doesn’t permit the wear of longer pants (linen or other fabrics). I have my cargo pants that are not quite cropped (I know the length). I have a daughter with special needs and take her everywhere with me, so simplicity is a must. I also can’t wear jewelry (not even 10kt gold) due to allergies so for me it’s a gold chain with a pendant. Loved your video!
So glad that I found you, I’m going on 61 and found myself shopping and realized I did not know what to wear to fit my age. Thank you so much I enjoy your channel and all of your advice. The shakes sound like just what I need also❤❤❤
I spend most of my time gardening in a garden full of fire eating ants!😊 In winter mud and summer sun,or rain. Hopefully I will have reasons to wear something stylish.
I always believe in dressing in what you find comfortable. I integrate items from my old tops along with new pants. Or new tops with old pants. It doubles my wardrobe. then do a quick mirror check to see if it gives you the look you feel great in.
I loved what u have sown me & would like to try the milk shake . I'm 63 & fill 43 with ur help I can look 53 .And would be nice . Thank you for all ur helpful tips. Linda Rodriguez
I really enjoy your program. Thank you for all the great advice. I am 63 and live in the Los Angeles area, USA. I would also like to try the Bomimo shake.
Hey just found your channel I'm based in Cardiff since relocating from Kenya in September 2022. I've really been struggling with trying to dress fashionably as I've also gained weight around my tummy and thighs I'm so happy to learn about the long line cardigan plus how to wear non sticky clothes. Fir bigger ladies the shops are filled with shapeless clothes or sticky materials but I prefer to try clothes on before I wear them. I find online shopping really stressful especially for clothes cause I don't like sending things back. Now I know what to look for in future when I go shopping thank you.
Hi there. Thank you so much for commenting and finding my channel! I do agree with you to keep away from shapeless clothes and, as you say, "sticky" materials. I'm so pleased I could help in a small way. Take care. XX
I recently heard Brits have finally started wearing white sneakers. They used to make fun of Americans who wore them. And that Americans who said, “Okay.”all the time. We’re growing closer!👍❤️🌹 And linen is for people who love to iron!
Shrugs have been very popular in recent years, all kinds of toppers. The little shruggies for children are boleros. These for women are usually longer, more around waist length. They emphasize the waist, look shapelier and more youthful. Of course they don't lengthen a look. What I call capris are what you were calling long shorts...lol. I don't like the longer length capris and crop pants as much, or actual shorts either. Ankle pants are what we used to call high-water pants, pants you've outgrown or shrunk too much.
What items of clothing have you stopped wearing recently? I'd love to hear your views. Lots of love to you all. Deirdre. XX
I enjoy lower heels and prefer to avoid 👠 high heels as I turn 60 in August
@@mimismegalife4976 Yes, I know what you mean! I love heels but I can't wear them like I used to! XX
I didn't wear my capri pants at all this last summer. Going to store them in a suitcase for now.
Red jeans 😂
A very deep purple sweater, it was gorgeous, but now it wears me, so I gave it away. Softer colors really suit me now like that beautiful baby blue jacket you wore with the ankle grazing jeans and the t-shirt, which is a great idea. : o)
I follow the motto "just because I can, it doesn't mean I should ". I stopped wearing things like super high heals, mini skirts, tight dresses and revealing tops. They don't feel elegant.

I am in my late 50’s and I wear anything I want including crop tops. I work out everyday and in better shape than some 20 year-olds. I think it’s important to dress for your own liking instead of everybody else’s.
I agree, Terri. The most important person to dress for is YOU!! XX

❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
I agree. I exercise every day as well and iam 60
Du…
💪🏼❤️❤️AGREE !
I’ve recently discovered double sided fabric tape. Now I can wear button up shirts and not have that gap at the bust. It was a game changer for me 💜
Great plan. XX
Thank you! I keep buying blouses too big because of that.
I sew my own because of that!
Once while speaking to my professor, he told me my blouse was unbuttoned. It was that third one, right in the middle, so you know what he saw. I instantly died and wanted to drop the class.

I used to love to wear black and white. Now I find that that black is too harsh. So instead I wear gray and white for a softer look.
I totally agree that we must periodically update our looks to stay fresh and appear younger! Thanks for sharing your tips!❤

I love silk neck scarves.
I agree about the length of the sweaters. 2nd one adds a bit of sophistication to the outfit. I had a pair of Capri's - once, never again.

But more importantly, your positive vibe helps me move out of my concern zone; I feel rested as well as informed. Please keep making these videos on various items. ❤
I'm so happy that I can give positive vibes. We ladies all deserve to feel good. Take care. XX
I SO agree with all. Especially the capri pants, I am 5.4 too, with long legs and a shorter waist, well in capris I look like a short-legged stump, I am all of 100lbs!!! 👍
This was great! I live in Arizona where life is beyond casual and have fallen into the yoga pants or shorts every day. At 67 and quite small,I have trouble finding clothes that fit well and are cool. Since menopause the feel of the fabric is priority #1 as anything stiff or scratchy is a hard no. Looking forward to learning more from you!
I’m 75 and after watching several videos like this one completely updated and refreshed my wardrobe. It is fun and exciting to have a new look. This video and others like it changes lives💖
You are fabulous! Can't think of anyone who would look good in Capri pants!
Those shakes sound interesting..
I agree with many of your points-I fall victim to some of these at times and def need reminders like these to STOP wearing them if I want to look and feel more youthful-don't we all!!
xoxoKathy
Absolutely. XX
💯
I agree with you and your selections. I favor classical clothing. One brand that you may want to look into for yourself and your audience is the "Wit and Wisdom" jeans from Nordstrom, which are also marketed as "Democracy" jeans. As with NJDJ, they have a slimming panel and elasticized band in the back of the jeans, which really works for me because often times regular jeans will have a gap in the waist for me. So, I really find their jeans very comfortable and stylish.
Hi Deidre, such a blessing that I came across your videos today and have just subscribed too. I live in sunny South Africa and your fashion advice is like a breath of fresh air!! My almost 20-year old daughter, who has great fashion sense, recently told me I dress the same now as I did in my 20's ... a shocking realisation after looking at old photos!!! I'm loving your videos and practical advice, thank you so much!! So looking forward to spring-cleaning my cupboard and putting your advice to good use! Look forward to many more helpful videos from you. Have a great day!!
Welcome, Heather and thank you for subscribing. How lucky to live in sunny South Africa! XX
You validated what I have been wearing. I agree with the bagging look and never liked. I often wear a scarf and I wear colours that compliment by colouring ( I had my colours done)
Hi Deirdre, I only found your channel fairly recently. You're a joy to watch. Thanks so much for all the wonderful tips and advice.
I've always loved fashion; styling myself and friends - when they've asked.
As I've got older and as my body has changed a bit (weight gain) I've found it harder to know what works for me.
Your channel is so helpful and is giving me such great ideas that are age appropriate and budget friendly.
Thank you!
I'm so happy you like my videos and a big welcome to my channel, Connie. XX
Good Videow, Love all the classy/comfortable outfits she's sporting!!
I stopped wearing Black all the time... and have tried lighter and brighter colours...getting a few compliments and more importantly I feel better for it.
That's brilliant. XX
I am 56 I just like too look smart I think is important to carry yourself well at my age I don’t feel my age so I’m always happy trying new trends I must be doing something right as my 27 year old daughter gets me giving her style tips 😂 xx
Love that! XX
yep, love the longer cardigan
I love your videos the tips really help. I agree about capri trousers they always make someone look older. I take a well known multivitamin to help with post menopause, but would love to try the Bomimo product.
Xxx
Claudia ,Darling you're wonderful, all you ❤ is going through THANK-YOU for you,what about that'd shake
I don't wear cropped cardigans but I do wear cropped jackets quite a bit and am hard pressed to give them up!! Lol
Hello There.. I am new here. Thanks for your fashion tips. I was told after 40 do not wear stripes or multi colors tops and to wear more solid color tops. At 60 . I love to look younger by dressing with right colors and styles.. . Really appreciate you. Have a Bless week.
Lovely video! I loved your examples.
Please enter me in the giveaway and thank you for the information on a great way to stay healthy in this season. BLESSINGS ALWAYS 🙏
Aww, thank you, Mimi. Of course, you are entered into the giveaway! Take care xx
Ankle- grazer pants are what we used to call "high water pants" in a derogatory way, so I am not yet able to get enthusiastic about the look. I definitely do agree on the longer capris, tho, and much prefer skimmers (or what used to be called "pedal pushers")
I returned to natural fabrics bc of quality and look. And to dresses at midlength (knees). It is so gorgeous feminine and you make the difference.
Wonderful! XX
Thank you for the informative video. Is Bomimo available in South Africa?
I always wear classic clothes, it's like a uniform. It does no harm to change thing's up a bit , a wardrobe refresh.
True. XX
Appreciate the advice about wearing baggy things...I found I have a tendency to wear these items trying to hide a bulging belly, yet I have realized it doesn't give me that put together look that I like...thank you.
You're so welcome, Janice. XX
I love your outfits especially the blue and white striped shirt and white jean
I’ve been going through menopause for 20 years now and there seems to be no end in sight. Hormone therapy is out since I’ve had breast cancer. Thank you for this suggestion, I’m open to just about anything. I just hope it’s available in Canada.
The last outfit with your blue shirt and light pants looks so BEAUTIFUL on you!!!! All of them are nice, but the last one is just gorgeous and suits you perfectly.
Very good rendition of what to wear and what not to wear .
A shirt with trousers so much nicer than a t shirt. Love the white T and jeans with that jacket too. Would love to try the chocolate milk, an easier way to get all those supplements I forget to take. Thanks Deirdre x
Thank you for the tips on looking fabulous! If the capri pants make the legs look wider- does that apply to the arms? Does a three quarter length sleeve make arms appear unflattering? Great video to watch and learn!
Thank you for your useful tips. I'm not great at accessorising and styling even though I pick nice one off pieces so they tend to get lost without the right styling or material matches. I look forward to watching more of these.😊
Glad it was helpful! XX
I sure do wish I had your figure!!!! I'm 5'0" and every pound shows!!! I am 73 and have decided to "tone down" my wardrobe, but only a little. I like unique/different clothes....not garish or anything, just not what you will see on everybody else. But some of the items I have probably really need to go. I don't want anybody thinking I've lost my mind in old age:) Glad I found your channel.
I'm 64 and got into a bad slump in my life and fashion. I decided to try a Keto diet because i hate my overweight body. My body loves keto. It simply burns off fat cells = dropped from size 20 to 16. I feel great and I need your posts because my fashion style needs to get in shape with me. Love,love the approach you take, you're a gem. I'm all for the Bomimo shakes because they are healthy and I could easily convert it to keto but, I had breast cancer a couple years ago. HERS2+ which means that my cancer type feeds of my estrogen. I take an estrogen suppressor so adding to my levels is out. I respectfully decline to enter this sweepsstake. Now if your raffling off shakes for hot flashes sign me up LOL
Thank you so much for commenting, Some Sensibility. XX
Now I feel like cleaning out my closet. It's a shame, a lot of my things I've never worn.
I have a cardigan that's the shade of the center of an avocado. It's one of my favorite colors. I'm a dark brunette with olive skin and that color looks amazing on me. Oddly enough, I've never worn it because I'm waiting for a 'special occasion" to shine in it. The "special occasion" has never come up!
Please sign me into the drawing for that age defying drink! I need it, I haven't found Prince Charming yet!
7:30pm thanks for sharing great ideas! I'm currently staring at my closet and wondering...."why do I have that?!"😂thanks for the encouragement
I wear what makes me feel comfortable ...
Your suggestions are good though .
Enjoyed this very much. I've given up skinny jeans. I prefer a straight leg now. I agree with lose the cardigans. Not flattering. Longer one looks much better. Thanks.
I agree with every one of your suggestions but the one that struck me was the beautiful blue striped shirt with darts! I think darts are what is missing from my life and my wardrobe. I have a sewing machine and will be adding darts to many of my button downs....thanks for the suggestion!
You’re so welcome. Xx
Oh, the all over flower pattern blouse…I had 3 - 4, and on a small occasion for my son at school, I wore one which didn’t look matronly and when I saw what it looked like in a picture I threw them out. I asked my son if he noticed what I looked like in them, to which he said he thought I knew what they looked like but he didn’t want to make me feel bad.
You, have legs you can show…some of us don’t (I always had a bit larger knees) and the heat in Tx doesn’t permit the wear of longer pants (linen or other fabrics). I have my cargo pants that are not quite cropped (I know the length). I have a daughter with special needs and take her everywhere with me, so simplicity is a must. I also can’t wear jewelry (not even 10kt gold) due to allergies so for me it’s a gold chain with a pendant.
Loved your video!
Hi Deirdre such a helpful video brilliant idea every thing you mentioned is spot on enjoy the rest of your week

You are now my new best friend. I have just pulled apart 3 pants and taken them in to look smarter slimmer and more flattering.
That’s wonderful, Sue. I’m delighted to be your best friend xx
So glad that I found you, I’m going on 61 and found myself shopping and realized I did not know what to wear to fit my age. Thank you so much I enjoy your channel and all of your advice.
The shakes sound like just what I need also❤❤❤
Thank you so much, and welcome, Marci. XX
I spend most of my time gardening in a garden full of fire eating ants!😊 In winter mud and summer sun,or rain. Hopefully I will have reasons to wear something stylish.
Wow such great tips
I love the new longer sweaters/open Cardigans
I always believe in dressing in what you find comfortable. I integrate items from my old tops along with new pants. Or new tops with old pants. It doubles my wardrobe. then do a quick mirror check to see if it gives you the look you feel great in.
I loved what u have sown me & would like to try the milk shake . I'm 63 & fill 43 with ur help I can look 53 .And would be nice . Thank you for all ur helpful tips. Linda Rodriguez
I really enjoy your program. Thank you for all the great advice. I am 63 and live in the Los Angeles area, USA. I would also like to try the Bomimo shake.
I love the periwinkle shirt you are wearing. Very pretty on you
Thank you, I think your suggestions are very helpful especially about the baggy clothes.
Love you in blue, my favorite color. Thanks for the helpful hints to keep us from looking frumpy.
You are so welcome! XX
I would love to try the shakes and you have great taste in styles
I’ve only seen a couple of your videos but you’ve got a lovely positive and energetic vibe, so I’ll be watching more of you.💕
Thank you so much. XX
@ 5’4”, I’ve learned to love the half tuck and found that petite tops often work better than regular longer tops with jeans or pants.
Hey just found your channel I'm based in Cardiff since relocating from Kenya in September 2022. I've really been struggling with trying to dress fashionably as I've also gained weight around my tummy and thighs I'm so happy to learn about the long line cardigan plus how to wear non sticky clothes. Fir bigger ladies the shops are filled with shapeless clothes or sticky materials but I prefer to try clothes on before I wear them. I find online shopping really stressful especially for clothes cause I don't like sending things back. Now I know what to look for in future when I go shopping thank you.
Hi there. Thank you so much for commenting and finding my channel! I do agree with you to keep away from shapeless clothes and, as you say, "sticky" materials. I'm so pleased I could help in a small way. Take care. XX
I recently heard Brits have finally started wearing white sneakers. They used to make fun of Americans who wore them. And that Americans who said, “Okay.”all the time. We’re growing closer!👍❤️🌹
And linen is for people who love to iron!
I love your comments thank you Marie. XX
Thank you for these wonderful videos! The blue top looks beautiful on you (now to see about purchasing 😉)
You could wear black t-shirt black jeans and some flats with the light blue jacket
Shrugs have been very popular in recent years, all kinds of toppers. The little shruggies for children are boleros. These for women are usually longer, more around waist length. They emphasize the waist, look shapelier and more youthful. Of course they don't lengthen a look.
What I call capris are what you were calling long shorts...lol. I don't like the longer length capris and crop pants as much, or actual shorts either. Ankle pants are what we used to call high-water pants, pants you've outgrown or shrunk too much.
Thank you for your channel, I think its great. I have recently stopped wearing those capris!
Very interesting tips for not looking frumpy but an elegant styles to follow! Excellent !!! Luv it..
Glad you enjoyed it! XX
I like the hip length cardigan on you, buttoned up or open.
