Appreciate choosing outfits that fit our lifestyle-too often we concentrate on "fancy" outfits we wear rarely and don't focus on what makes us our best every day.

No truer words ever said, I’m trying not to focus on my casual lifestyle, and have to catch myself not to buy to much fancy

Finally! A channel that is age appropriate and actually helpful for the mature, fashion conscious woman. Thank you!

The last guideline is the one that hits home for me. I’ve bought so many things that I really don’t have any place to wear! I need to look at my life and shop for the reality! Thank you!

Thank you for the reminder “do not TRY to look young“ . Real wisdom in that reminder.

Thank you for mentioning a slip! 💃👗 It's appalling to see every detail of a woman's silhouette through a dress. I think the older we get, the worse it is to see. And I've heard women say they don't think they need to wear a slip because something isn't see-through, but the slip helps the fabric of a skirt drape nicely even if it isn't see-through, especially if you're wearing tights in the colder months.

Dear Kay, you are so sweet and confident! I just wanted you to know that your advice has obviously rubbed off on me when I dressed the other morning for surgery in matching cream bra-cami and golf joggers, with pink slides, flowy sweater, sunglasses and lip gloss. No makeup or jewelry allowed, yikes. I got compliments and when walking out my nurse said I didn’t look like a patient! It made me feel better (and I am feeling better) in less than the best circumstances, and I wanted to thank you for that.

I love that you don’t just show us outfits, but present them as concepts that I can apply when I am shopping in my local stores.

Hello! You always look wonderful and I love your sweet demeanor. 😊 Please continue to add alternative, lower cost options. $72 for a tank top , etc., is .... a lot. Thank you so much! ❤

This is a great roundup of your best tips, Kay! I laughed at your comment about wearing a slip. A few days ago, I went to Kohl's to look for a half slip to wear under a new maxi skirt that's a little sheer. I walked up to two saleswomen and said, "I'm looking for a half slip." The younger of the two - maybe in her 30s - looked at the older woman and said, "I don't know what that is." 😄

I had the exact same thing happen when I went to Kohl's and asked where I could find pantyhose. The girl really didn't even know what they were!!! And, for the record, Kohl's doesn't sell pantyhose at all...at least in the store. They had NONE.

Similar story: I went into Nordstrom’s on the hunt for a slip. The youngish sales lady didn’t really understand what I meant, and kept steering me towards shapewear. After searching in vain all over town (and I live in a large urban area), I finally bought some fabric and made my own. Two lengths: one for my shorter summer skirts and dresses, and one for my knee- or mid-knee length skirts and dresses.

This is so funny! I wonder what the young sales girls would say if you asked for a "full-slip"! (Not that *anyone* wears those anymore, although I remember my mom putting one on before every fancy party she went to! 🥰 Aren't those the great memories of girlhood, watching one's mom get dressed for a "fancy event"? 😍) These days, a salesperson would think "full-slip" meant either you'd slipped and were gonna sue the store, or you wanted to check out and get a "full receipt"! 😂🤩

Such terrific advice! Thank you for saying out loud: “don’t try to look younger - it makes you look FOOLISH! “ so very true…so many attractive mature women wearing clothing appropriate for a 20 or 30 year old draw the wrong kind of attention to themselves. Thank you for your helpful pointers!

Fine line between frumpy and modern

We are mature, graceful women…I love this description! Thank you for helping us as we transition through phases of aging. It is a blessing to grow older.

I echo so many of the positive comments others have said, but wanted to add something about creating a uniform. When I worked for a large corporation, my uniform was a suit - either skirt or pants - with a dressy blouse and sometimes a scarf. And always nice shoes. When I first retired, I found myself trending to very casual outfits for errands and informal activities- usually jeans and tees - but never feeling my best. When I found your blog and You tube Channel, I recognized that I needed to put together a new uniform that I felt good in and reflected my current lifestyle. Also, I’d filled my closet with fun pieces for nicer occasions but much of it didn’t work together. I also decided I needed to elevate my casual uniform so it reflected my best self. I’ve recently bought a few completer pieces, some nicer graphic tees and modern jeans. I tossed the tired and uncomfortable shoes. Last week, I put together some outfits and took photos of them so I don’t have to panic when I want to put together an outfit in limited time. I have more to do, but I’m laying the foundation, and want to thank you for your gracious and hopeful tips and messages. I agree with the others who said the outfit you’re wearing is lovely! ❤️

Don’t buy cheap clothes! It looks so much more appropriate at my age to spend a little more for quality items.

Love the last statement! I’m retired and really just watch my granddaughter and work in the garden. Want to look good, but need to remember I’m not in the working world anymore.

Totally agree with #3-I have lots of clothes, but very few whole outfits. Thank you for this video.

Thanks for the book's worth of advice, Kay! After decades of wearing blazers (including all of my years in corporate) I now stick to unlined and featherweight models. I still love the crisp details and the smart look, but I prefer to have the item that is under the blazer snug and the blazer less fitted, even when buttoned. It's so nice to have options for every body and taste! I feel like a dinosaur when I try to describe a half slip or when I am handed a striped dress when I ask for a lined one.

Great tips, Kay. I am working on dressing for my lifestyle. I am recently retired., yet I still want to stay true to my classic style. Now that I have a couple of days looking after my grandkids, I have a set of wardrobe pieces specifically for those special moments. I keep these pieces comfortable and durable. The T by Talbot's brand has helped me tremendously. Have a Happy Mother's Day.

First I have to say the outfit you are wearing looks so lovely on you! I am a huge fan of scarves but it’s often too warm in the summer to wear them. I’m excited to see your dressing for warmer weather video! These 12 tips are wonderful reminders especially the last one. As a retiree I do find it difficult to focus on my new wardrobe lifestyle. I’m off to watch your suggested video!😊

"Dress for the lifestyle that you really have" was a powerful statement for me. Now retired, life has changed. Time for my wardrobe to follow.

Thanks for showing the slip. I didn’t know they were still out there. I like your idea of finding your “outfit” and dressing for what your life looks like now.

Three things that helped me the most were: 1.) Determining my style influences. 2.) Understanding how design elements work w/ my body proportions. 3.) Selecting a limited color palette. Thanks for the tips!

I’m almost 63 and I work part time in a women’s clothing store in Australia. I like smart casual, that’s my style but at home I dress super laidback as I’m spending a lot of time training and engaging with my German Shepherd. I always wear make up if I leaving the house and I love dressing nicely for outings, such as lunches or dinners out with my husband

The concept of contrast intensity was new to me. I do have darker hair, fair skin, medium (hazel) eyes so contrast is all over however im often complimented when i wear dark pants and a light top. I guess it's good contrast. I've had several style uniforms for years, it took my daughter telling me years ago that I look great using my typical solid look with 1 thing that makes a statement. I didnt realize until then that it was one of my style uniforms. I use that knowledge now to quickly put together an outfit. Thanks for the great tips.

Thanks for thinking how to look good in warm places. When I travel to Mexico my country is hard to be chic and classy with the warm temperatures!!! I will be waiting for the video!!!!

Great video. I will be working on all of these but especially #12 with a new lifestyle of being recently retired. I have a closet full of work clothes and then super casual frumpy-ish options (work around the house/yard clothes) but need to pull together a new vibe.

Great tips, Kay! I was planning to wear a straight black and white skirt that I haven't worn since before Covid, and was thinking "Now I wonder where that slip is I used to wear with this?" When I pulled out the skirt on the hanger I realized that I had hung the black half slip INSIDE the skirt! Very practical! Didn't have to go searching through all my drawers.

#12 the tip that I have been considering more as I plan and purchase clothing items lately. I have a very physically active lifestyle and need to keep that in mind as think about buying and using an item.

Lovely scarf! I finally got my scarf collection organized and in one spot. I use the divided clear boxes from The Container Store and the covered woven boxes from Pottery Barn.

I'm going to be working on my own style & I like the sound of colours for my own colouring! Never thought of having a uniform signature look before! Thank you Kay 😍

Great video! Thank you! I’m really considering my lifestyle now and discovering how my wardrobe can benefit my lifestyle while still looking presentable (less sloppy in my case) ❤️❤️❤️

There is just something so elegant and timeless about wearing white and taupe outfits, I love this combination. Or any beige, I just prefer taupe because it’s a little cooler to coordinate with my cool coloring. A warmer, more camel-beige, like this year’s “Caramel” color might suit others better, both are so classic. I just got a taupe sweater trimmed with white from the White Company, which I love.

I love the tip to dress for the life that you have! Your tips are all so helpful Kay. I am so grateful to have discovered your channel.

Thank you!! This is so helpful! You are so right about the quality of your clothing and the way you style everything. I love having a “uniform” too. Nothing quite so good as a pair of good skinny jeans, a good quality black shirt and good sneakers! Love that uniform!!

Wonderful tips❤I’ll be trying to resonate my style more.Most of the time I’m all over the place trying to put outfits together! Thank you so much 🙏💙🌺🥰

Nicely done, Miss Kay! I am working to incorporate some new style aesthetics with my current mostly classic/gamine vibe. It's fun!

What a great video! I’m a jeans and jacket person, that’s my go too! I have tons of jackets/blazers. Have a great week❤️

This has to be my favorite video in your collection. Excellent advice and great, wearable outfits. My favorite tip was choosing an outfit based on your own skin tone, hair and eye color. My coloring is similar to yours, and I do look better in neutrals, especially whites and cream colors. Without a doubt, the white pant + blazer looked fabulous on you. Thanks again for a stellar video! ❤🙋‍♀️

You always look stylish. Love your videos. Very helpful. I think classic is what I want to achieve. I'll keep watching.

Very informative video! I have similar coloring to yours and I always gravitate toward a neutral, low contrast look. Now I know why!

Thanks again! I think the color/contrast is interesting and I want to try to do it more.

This was one of your best videos😊. Thank you, most helpful. Recognizing your lifestyle, climate and developing a uniform of looks you feel your best in provides clothing you want to wear on the repeat. Thank you.

Love your current hairstyle. Very flattering.

Thanks Kay this advice to dress to suit lifestyles so true ❤ I want to thank you for showing us this ..😊

I just bought a jean jacket and look forward to pairing it with blouses and jeans. Your suggestions are so inspiring.

Thank you, Miss Kay! Love your suggestions! Another person who really helped me understand how to dress is Tim Gunn, whose by-words are "Fit, Proportion, and Silhouette." Those words gave me the power to buy clothes that actually looked good on me!

Your hair looks great! The style is uplifting and flattering. Regarding proportions, I've always believed pants should come down to your ankle and shoes should match pants or be neutral. That makes for the longest, most elegant legs. While I have heard many times about wearing shorter hems to show some skin at the ankle, I disagree. To me, it always looks choppy. I'm happy to stay in the minority with my long legs!

As always great information Kay! Thank you ❤

Thank you Kay for your wonderful tips and for helping me feel less invisible❤Xx

You’re gorgeous. That info about contrast is so important. I went from the Snow White look with really dark hair and really light skin with blue eyes to white hair. I did t realize I was now low contrast so my high contrast clothes wouldn’t work anymore.

I am going to be working on putting together some outfits. Having something down pat that I can easily and quickly put on and feel put together would be great! I am not sure what my style uniform is so I guess I need to start with that. I actually like the look of blazers but as I have a few in my closet that don’t get worn, I have discovered I don’t reach for them. I am a cardigan and sweatshirt person. Although windbreakers and anorak coats are handy this time of year. I love all your inspirations. I think you look put together. Thanks for all your tips!
