      Ouch. The layered shapeless look. We’ve all been there
      I have a simple rule - only one loose or shapeless piece allowed at a time. If the top or sweater is oversized or chunky, wear leggings or slim pants to balance.
      If the pants are loose and flowey, the blouse or sweater should be more close fitting. Easy peasy, as they say🌼🌸🌺💐Happy Easter

    All great tips, except wearing pointy toed shoes… At my age, 68, I have destroyed my feet by shoving them into shoes that are inappropriate for healthy feet. We continue to tell women that spiky heels and pointy toes are sexy. Sexy is not what’s on your feet, sexy is an attitude. ❤

    • @princesslehaha
      @princesslehaha Месяц назад +14

      Oh I just did a rant about that up there. If anything, pointy toes will kill your feet, and yeah I did that thing in the 70's and 80's. Now I wear shoes that are shaped like my feet. My feet love me.
      Pointy toed shoes also age people. Because they belong in the 80's.

      @candygirl7586 Месяц назад +8

      There's no looking pretty in pain. There's no fun to be had when in pain. I look hard for shoes that look and feel good then buy them in every color. These gems are very hard to find. Flats do not work for me or anything binding through the toes. High arches are and issue and flats provide no support for arches that desperately need support. Shoes... this is a good topic but can be a difficult one regardless of age.

    • @cheryleaston6820
      @cheryleaston6820 15 дней назад +2

      Totally agree. Pointed shoes do not go well with bunions at all. After wearing 4 inch heels to work for many years they have ruined my feet. I do agree that the large floral prints are awlful on older women. I think woman have to wear the clothes not the other way around. All good suggestions.

    I really enjoyed your video. What you say is 100% spot-on. One thing you really need to add is: STOP wearing trainers with everything. I am so sick of the sight of nice outfits spoiled by grotty trainers at the end of the legs. Sure, trainers fulfill a need sometimes, depending what you're doing but please, not with every outfit. Shoe shops here seem to stock 70% trainers and only 30% smarter shoes and it has become quite hard to find something comfortable and smart and isn't a trainer. I'm 5' 7" and I don't need high heels, just a smart casual shoe. Oh, and I'm 71. A youthful 71, though.

      I've always used the rule that only one loose/baggy item at a time. So maxi skirt or palazzo pants with a fitted top., Flowing blouse with skinny jeans. Pick one loose thing and everything else is neat and fitted, otherwise you look like you are wearing a tent and we start trying to figure out what you are trying to hide :)

      Unfortunately, I cannot agree...🙈 Although the orange really does freshen up the look, scarves like this are not something that younger women would wear. This is actually an older lady look. So if I want color close to the face, you just shouldn't choose a plain white shirt. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    I 100% tuck in all my tops, or wear “cropped”, waist-length ones. I turned 64 today, so, yes, my tummy is a bit rounder than in my youth, but the advantage of improved visual proprietor far outweighs that. I also still wear “mini skirts”, but as a petite, they are longer on me, a few inches above the knee. I have thickened a bit around the middle, but am still slim and I like to show my shape and my legs. But, I also love midi skirts. Those long maxis are cute, but not very practical, I’ve found. I don’t want any more of them, especially the fuller styles, they can be a nuisance, if not downright dangerous, to wear. Thanks, Deirdre❤

    I agree with you about the jewelry, although I do love it! The late, great style icon Iris Apfel truly had the ability to wear tons of chunky jewelry and make it look so striking. All of your tips are great, and I love your video formatting.

      I, too, thought of Iris Apfel when she talked about large chunky jewelry. Apfel had her own unique style and was able to rock that look for decades. I've stopped wearing my large clunky jewelry, but I believe it will come back in style at some point. Most things do.

      Your "Style Expression" determines what size Jewelry, Prints, etc. look best on you...just as wearing the correct colors do. I NEED larger, bolder jewelry and people have even mentioned larger pieces don't look large on me. When I try to "get current" by wearing smaller, it isn't good!

      She's mistaken, anyway. According to Who What Wear, " Low-Key Over: Delicate Stacking Necklaces
      Buying Into: Bold Collars"
      so dainty is passe and bold is in.

    This is the first of your videos that I have seen. I saw most of my clothing, and have done most of my life. I am an extreme hourglass, petite woman. I have battled weight issues all my life. But I have stabilized for several years at a good weight. I have always known that the Luz trophy stuff doesn’t look good on me. I never color block And I do look for simple. Well fitted designs. But you will not catch me in a sweet little floral print they make me sick. An independent strong woman doesn’t wear sweet little florals. I do on occasion make bold florals, and I know it’s going to be a one season dress, but I made it. I can then later, cut it up into something else, I always roll up the sleeves on my shirts and I always unbutton them a couple buttons and it does make such a sophisticated, sexy understated look. So I appreciate almost everything you said, and I do have more “comfortable“ shoes, when especially when people are wearing dresses, if you’re attending an occasion where you’re wearing a dress bite the bullet, and put a more delicate shoe on your foot! Thank you I look forward to more videos.

    SO many great points! The late Jean Muir stood by wearing Navy instead of black for women of a certain age - and I totally agree! I still wear some black, but whenever I can, choose Navy! It’s so much softer near the face, and at least for me, extremely flattering. 🙋‍♀️🇺🇸🥰‼️

      I say forget what’s trending. I subscribe to the Kibbe body type model as a starting point. Some people absolutely rock statement necklaces while others are drowned in it. Dress for your body, not for what fashion says is trending. Just keep it event appropriate. Don’t glam up to go to the grocery store.

    I agree with you on all of these tips. I've never worn large floral prints. I see young girls wearing them and I just cringe. I guess if you are in your 20's, you can wear what you want to wear. 😂 I will be 60 in July ( oh my goodness, did I just said that?) and I am very particular on what comes into my closet. Good bras are very important. Sagging bosoms show your age.

I have avoided the oversized look as i look swamped in fabric and if i tuck an oversized shirt in trousers I end up with a bulky middle. My trousers are all slim or straight as wide leg just do not suit me. I have a bust so good, supportive bras are a must. I have learned over the years what suits my height and shape and am in heaven with the variety of kitten heeled slingbacks available at the moment. Hope you feel better soon.
