Noone wants to wear rolled up jeans in the heat of summer! Capris are fine! People know your age anyway, believe me we arent fooling anyone. I by no means look frumpy, but looking my age is fine by me! My hair is silver now, Im loving it! I don't get this trying to fake your age stuff! I am so loving my age! I dress way better than some younger people but Im not wearing stuff to try to look 20! Lol.

I am puzzled why so many people comment something like "Wear what you want." That is an obvious choice.

Love the cat filing his nails! I agree with your frumpy items. Even my 94 year old mom doesn’t wear Velcro shoes.

@tinalettieri Год назад

Well, goody for her. Walking bent over and almost limping because of bad feet isn't exactly a youthful look. I do the rest of me as stylishly as possible and I don't worry about my velcro shoes when I have to walk a couple of kilometers just to get where I'm going because I don't drive. One way to minimize the look is never wear trousers. I always wear skirts/dresses in a variety of lengths. Trousers will draw the eye to your feet, that's just how it is and the last part of me I want anyone to notice. I have some very cute red sandals that close with velcro. It's barely noticable and the style of the sandal itself flatters my miserable feet.

I think it is fabulous that you are getting back to really taking care of yourself and finding styles that make you feel good. I am not trying to look younger. I am trying to look good whatever my age. It makes me feel better and gives me more energy and enthusiasm to embrace my life. I stopped doing this for a while and I just wasn’t as happy. I didn’t want to go anywhere because I didn’t have anything fashionable or fun to wear. Getting dressed was a chore. Nothing fit. Awh! Then I decided that 1/4 of my life is being spent as an older woman, and I want to embrace it and enjoy it. And that means looking and feeling great. So I invested in some new items, sold and donated my former wardrobe, and now it is fun to get dressed again.

My daughter is 42 and I am 64. She dresses in grays and blacks and very ugly clothes just frumpy and not stylish at all and it makes me so sad because she is a beautiful beautiful person. She resembles Katy Perry. She has beautiful eyes. She is overweight very badly, but I don’t care about that. I dress in very stylish clothes. Cute Jean jackets cute jackets cute tops, cute pants very expensive shoes For me. I mean we’re not talking over $100 but we’re talking between 60 and $100. I always want to look nice and she always comments on how I look. It’s just unfortunate that at such a young age she can’t dress nicer. We have both struggled with our way, but I tend to keep mine down and she tends to keepers up. She has lost weight before and knows how to do it.

When your overweight it’s hard to dress the way you want. You tend to try to fade away that’s probably why your daughter dresses like that. You say you don’t care but your words say otherwise. Glad you manage to keep it down down as you say but not everyone is the same.

@cyndimanka .. If she wore bright clothing and your very expensive shoes would you still be " so sad"? Would you be happier with her appearance? From what I'm reading that's not at all what it is! You mention her weight and then mention what you wear. You're so sad she's so frumpy.. yet, you end your comment again, speaking of her weight! She has lost weight before and knows how to do it. That has nothing to do with style (you just basically said she wears grays / blacks/ ugly clothes (in your opinion). Could that be that darker clothing is "slimming?" Did you ever think that maybe she's depressed? She comments on you bc (I'm sure) she's polite and knows how important looks are to you. Possibly, to lean The conversation towards you or away from her. I don't mean to come across as a rude, It's just so crucial to understand that there is probably most certainly a deeper bigger issue here. Maybe you don't understand that, that could be the problem or I'm not sure if you've experienced depression or possibly you have and either lost weight or it didn't affect your outer appearance. Everyone is different. Maybe she needs help! Please address her mental health before being so concerned about her outer appearance...

Thank you for the great tips. When we are over 50, we start to become invisible...especially if we don't keep our clothes, hair (and teeth) and makeup current and timeless. One should not disguise their age but be the very best they can be. One thing I hope you would consider is changing your selection of photo examples. Photo examples of models in their 20s are rather out of place. Even in peak form, body shapes of us over 50 are very different than theirs and often more challenging. I hope in the future you will choose examples that reflect our beautiful age group. Thanks

You won't be able to get a tailored look, so if you're aiming for tailored style the only real tip would be to lose weight. But if you prefer not to, then good hair, make up, and quality fabrics will always look beautiful and classy on a big body. So will a belt.

@sheelfjohnson Год назад

I wear long, sleeveless, column-style maxi dresses with NO waist. I find that a waist seam always hits me in the wrong place, so I avoid them. Then you can wear a nice tailored button-up shirt over it (I wear them open) or whatever else suits your style. For me, this style helps elongate rather than emphasize my width. ☺ I also look for sleeves that fit well bc I think baggy sleeves make me look frumpy.

I don't have the "Cinch It" gadget you mentioned, but I still change the look of my tops and dresses to get an asymmetrical hemline or shirred look across the midriff. I use either a quarter or a large split ring with a tiny rubber band to achieve the look.

Hi Angela! I am thrilled to have stumbled upon your video. I found myself relating to everything you talked about. I am going through a divorce after years of narcissistic abuse. I was discarded and abandoned and left with nothing. With no support system, I am trying to rebuild some kind of life. Everything you mentioned at the start of the video certainly applies to me. Because my divorce is not final, and my trial is fast approaching, I am trying to figure out how to dress, how to do my makeup and what to do with my neglected hair. I would like to look decent for the trial. So far I've picked up some wonderful tips from you so thank you very much! I will continue to watch and learn as I need all the help I can get. I lost 25 years with this person and I became a 'frump' over those years. Abuse tends to change us even when we don't see it. I certainly didn't.

I think Capri pants can be frumpy but I also think they can be flattering. It depends completely on where they fall on your body. The ones you showed that cut off right below the knee rarely look good on anyone but the there are a variety of lengths in between the knee and the ankle that can look nice.

@guerralg63 Год назад

I've purchased capri pants that have a 'slacks' look and feel to them. They are more fitted. Its the loose boxy ones that tend to look frumpy.

@solangelauthier2381 5 месяцев назад

If they reach the ankle they are not capri pants. It is something else, called « cropped », which is far more flattering.

Interesting video. One thing I'd like to mention is eyeglasses. For those of us who wear prescription lenses every day you have to choose what is comfortable and works best for you. For example I have a small face and many of the bold, colorful plastic frames overwhelm my features, plus it's much more expensive to change prescription glasses. I think most of us do what we like but you had some good tips.

@KimberlyB0611 Год назад

Yes! I have a petite face and plastic frames are usually too over powering. Glasses shopping is such a pain.

I understand what you’re saying because I also have a small face and small features and I can’t handle anything heavy on my nose. But I did find a pair of glasses that have a thin tortoiseshell frame around the eye but with metal along the arms and they are light enough to be comfortable.
