Hey Serena, you have a good outlook on what’s current and what’s making it over to the clearance rack. Some styles never were or will be a good look on your average woman and sometimes we just love it and don’t care. Other times we take a step back and say, you know what? She’s right! Wish everyone could listen with an open mind and not feel hurt or offended. If you don’t like these fashion ideas, just let ‘em roll right by. Why would you even tune in if it’s not something your open to? Adopt what agrees with your sense of who you are and let the other stuff go. I purged my purses and decided to go with just a few that are versatile in basic colors and leave the fun/funky designs for my beach carry all, or my shopping bags.

I’m tall so I don’t worry about capris making me look shorter. I am fussy about the style of capris but I don’t think they need to be completely removed from your wardrobe.

That is awesome! Thank you for watching 😊

I am 73 and still tease and use hairspray on my hair, not because I think this looks good but because my hair is very fine with no body at all and without it would look flat and a mess. Yes I would love a more natural bouncy up to date look but this is only achievable if you have a good head of hair and many of us don't which is something you don't seem to take into account.

😂I have waited a loooong time to be comfortable and have fun with fashion. It's not PC to say it, but I LOVE being an old broad! I'm retired military and I want to have fun with my appearance choices. I'm conservative and I don't think I draw attention to myself like a "clown." I waited to have the big hair I want, the bright, bold colors and chunky jewelry I've admired on other women. I also LOVE that people can assume I'm just an old crazy lady😂😂😂😂I've earned the right to enjoy myself and the creativity I couldn't enjoy earlier. These tips may help some other gals but I'M TOTALLY GOOD!!!🎉

Hi Margaret, how's your day going with you?

I dress myself with quality items from thrift stores, and cut my own hair. People tell me I look nice, and I appreciate the complements...I really don't care what people think of what I wear...most of it is comfortable and fit well. I am a country girl and spend a great deal of time in the outdoors...I like to look neat and clean when I am out, but LL Bean, Woolrich, and other brands are easy to find, and perfect for my outdoor lifestyle.

I love that you honored your mother in law. I have 2 daughters in law, both angels- and it means a lot when they honor me.

I enjoy these types of videos. I’m 68 and I will always love fashion. Getting older doesn’t have to mean getting frumpy. Kudos to the content creator.

This entire video was spot on. I’m 65 but people are always shocked when they hear how old I am. You don’t have to spend a lot of money either. There is no excuse for looking frumpy unless of course you want to look that way. One thing not mentioned though is to keep your weight down! It’s so much better for your health and you’ll look better too in all those cute clothes. Yes, yes, I know it’s hard. It takes discipline but you have to like how you look and feel better than the taste of eating a lot of unhealthy food and if you can’t work out at least try walking 30 minutes 5 days a week.

Frumpy shoes, bags with lots of pockets, flowers on clothes are especially what teens wear a lot. Nothing can make you look older than the age itself.

To reiterate what I wrote in my above post, I am currently wearing Belle Tress brand wigs. The styles I am wearing are Caliente, Stumptown and Amaretto. For my skin tone, which is cool to neutral, I have been wearing the colors British Milk Tea and Roca Margarita Blonde. People compliment me on "my" gorgeous hair constantly lol. I do not tell them it's a wig, only my family and best friends know. Some people who wear wigs want to tell everyone when they are complimented that they wear wigs for the main purpose of normalizing wearing them, which I think is great. I just do not want to get into the whole conversation with people who are strangers and/or casual acquaintances. It's merely a personal preference. In any event, please do check out those channels and you will see for yourself which ones will fit your face shape, sense of style, color choices, etc. Godiva Secret Wigs, owned by a mother and daughter and who have a YT channel as well, also do one-on-one consultations, which I believe can be done via Zoom or similar program.

So little by little I purged my closet of the Bermuda shorts and replaced them with mid -thigh shorts. The incident forced me to look at my capris too, and sure enough I decided that those just didn’t look as good as cropped pants or ankle pants. So ankle pants are what I decided to go with.
