DON'T LOOK EXPENSIVE LOOK CLASSY INSTEAD ~ WOMEN OVER 50

[@mercedes523]

My Mother bought me a down filled puffer jacket in the 80’s and I still have it! (25.00) That’s been over 40 years! I still wear it because it looks perfect. Now that’s quality!

[@kathycook1815]

Many GREAT tips - thanks a million. It's hard when you get older and clothes do not work like they used to!

I always carry a bag holder/hook that fits onto the table, it keeps yr bag germ free & very easy to access

[@angelaharvey2034]

I received a Mulberry bag from work colleagues when I passed my degree almost 37 years ago. I have used it non stop since that time. The quality is outstanding and the piece is timeless. Love it, love it, love it. Quality pays. Best time to buy timeless quality pieces is just after Christmas. I always invest in classic pieces that don't date but look elegant. You can then incorporate different pieces according to fashion and taste. I am petite so make sure the pieces are tailored to fit me and that it the key - fit, quality and classic.

I would also like to suggest strength training...the more muscle...the better the posture...that will make you look younger ( and FEEL younger)...I didn't start til I was 65...now at 74...better than ever! And everything will look better on a healthy body...

[@Myover50fashionlife]

funnily enough i had a session myself today. very hard despite that i do cardio and weights. Good suggestion for the community, thank you.

[@dniki2152]

Is there a program you recommend or follow?

[@gaillind8249]

@@dniki2152 as I am a personal trainer, I recommend getting one...best money I ever spent, and as many of my clients have been with me for 4+ years, they would agree with that. You need to learn how to be safe and effective. Good luck and keep me/us posted!

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Mine is with a uk medical group. We do balance, weights, boxercise, strength and yoga. I can’t really recommend anyone as I was referrred to this programme to get fit before an operation and for recovery.

I've got several fab designer belts picked up for a few pounds from thrift shops...some brand new never worn. I love a bargain

[@gemmagreene362]

Posture!! It’s the thing that ages me most. I have kyphosis and it very much ages me. I never wear heels, because I would be completely doubled over.

[@sherryhudson9075]

I completely agree!

[@rosemarycooper1572]

I think you overstate things, and a lot of repetition, but you are right about the simple jewellery, pearl studs and a simple gold necklace always look classy.

[@mercedes523]

I love belts to finish an outfit.

Unless your waist is bigger than your hips. ..

[@cherylatkinson6060]

Good tips on how to look expensive and classy.

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

I think there's a big difference between classy and expensive...look at Meghan Markle, she wears very 'expensive' clothes, but rarely looks 'classy', whereas Princess Catherine can buy cheaper items from the High Street, and will always look Classy! It's what I tried to instill in my daughters.😊

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I don’t have a very defined waist, so I don’t want to emphadize that, but I do wear belts a lot. I mostly wear the same color belt as my dress or trousers, that gives polish, or adds shape to something looser, without bringing too much attention to my thicker waist. I think belts are very underrated, they’re great for an “expensive” look, if good-quality.

[@melaniebonner2370]

Love this, just need somewhere posh to go now please! A weekend at the Dorchester please Daarrrling! 🤣 I should be so lucky! Afternoon tea is about my budget!

[@saraG100]

Wish we could all get together for tea and review our outfit choices.

[@Cristina.Antoniuc]

Keep going girl. It was aesthetically pleasing to watch. We absolutely need more content from you ❤

[@melaniebonner2370]

Going to see the new Bond film tonight though, should be plenty of glam and glitz there!

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Enjoy that Melanie. Its outout 😄

[@momofschnauzers]

It's actually kind of amusing when you think of these designer items and so many dupes for them. Who knows what is real or not? Relying on classic belts (such as your examples) gives a classic look with no guessing about the authenticity of the accessory...it just looks good. JMHO.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Thank you.

[@joannanangle4876]

Love that bag classic

I watched until the end - but love the chapters also!

How great is this and how are you! I can see from my viewing sheet I have been MIA here for about 7 weeks! So glad to be back and seeing how you are - FV and I love that mike you have on! I have heard about them! So many great ideas here! Love it!

[@sandrawright8109]

I used to have that bag. It got a hole in it and I had to throw it away. I also had two beautiful Christian Dior bags...I wore them until they fell apart

[@littletez85]

I've been wanting a trench coat for years! but I have been living in a hot place for 20 years. Although I do have 4 real leather jackets that I do wear when I travel or indoors (the places here have super cold a/c running)

[@alcogito8287]

There are "trench-style" coats available that are light weight and unlined. Watch for one.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Quality is so important, but logos are just tacky. I’m with you, high-quality high-street is the way to go. Maybe a better theme would be “how to avoid looking cheaply-dressed”? I have my own rules on this one, mostly no polyester, but it mostly a comfort issue. I don’t understand how my fellow American women can wear those sticky poly tops all the time, even in tropical Florida. I would be one giant walking heat rash on my way to Emergency for a cool-down. I live in warm, but dry, California. Or, acrylic sweaters, OMG, don’t get me started!

[@sherryedwards695]

Great tips. I love your videos. There is an old superstition that says not to put your purse on the floor or you won't have money. I don't know if that's true but just something that I heard. And it gave me a chuckle when you were commenting about the purse on the floor.

[@luciannedemarco6296]

Hello! I'm new to your channel and find you so fun! Love your content and many thanks for always linking items for us gals in the USA XOXO

[@yvonneannibale5980]

Great video! Yesterday Someone at work just told me I looked so put together. Designer is out of my price range for the most part. I do have that 1 designer bag. I buy faux often and work with the idea less is more. I loved the animal print bracelet that you showed us. Also how you explained using balance when selecting jewelry. Great suggestions. Very helpful.

[@joannanangle4876]

Evonne your right less is more

[@raiseyourworld5324]

Our world is in the process of change, having to have 'designer brands' is so 80's when they started to push consumerism, and when you consider most are made in 3rd world countries with low wages and poor working conditions, who would want to wear something made by people suffering. Is far classier to wear something, well made, of natural materials where the middle men are not making a fortune off it and the people producing the item. The only exception to this would be the courtier houses and only then, items that are made to order, not 'off the peg'. When you are buying a Gucci bag or belt from a high street shop, you are buying sorrow, imagine the negative energy attached to that item. When you buy from a craftsman, imagine the love of his/her craft. the care and attention to detail......and the energy transfer into that item. A fair price for materials, craftsmanship and hours, sees both producer and buyer in a win situation.

[@littletez85]

Love your outfit! I need to find me some duster cardigans! I will really try to find some on my visit to the USA. I just need to find the perfect one that doesn't add bulk to my petite frame.

Are you in the USA? If so i can link it for you as its from the States?

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I don’t want to look expensive, I do want to look classy and elegant. This trope somehow infected the fashion world, but it’s strange, isn’t it? Classy is easy, it’s about modesty, proper fit and appropriateness. Elegant isn’t difficult, either, it’s basically simplicity and a limited color palette. I would be embarrassed if someone told me that I look expensive.

[@saraG100]

Excellent video. And now don't you have a beautiful camel coat? Such great reminders here. Getting shoes right is critical and takes some hard work. But hard shopping pays off, sometimes for decades. Must have those belts as a reward for when I reach my goal this year. And so agree about the bags that can stand up. Happy New Year from Washington state.

[@Myover50fashionlife]

Yes I do. Well remembered 😀. 🐫🐫

@@Myover50fashionlife I remember because it's just perfect for you. Had a little coat envy when I saw it. But I have a navy quilted jacket coming from Boden tomorrow with a floral lining so I'll feel better...and a bit British for spring.

Thin belts are fine if your tiny only. I do not like crossbody bags on heavy gals. A good shoulder bag is smart just don't over fille.

My rule was always: short, bodycon-tight, OR low-cut, not AND. It’s far sexier, and classier, to be subtle, not obvious. No one wants to be mistaken for a street-walker. I’m 61 and love my sexy secret, thigh-high boots with my modest knee-length skirts and tights, but never with mini skirts or bare legs, and it’s not just a matter of age, sometimes it would be too sexy for any age.

Vintage

[@swsunsetseeker7285]

How about using the words tasteful, elegant, chic, fashionable, instead of the C word, which is actually un-C.... A good manicure is a requirement too. People will look at your watch and jewelry and unkempt raggedy nails and cuticles detract

[@Myover50fashionlife]

That is a good point. Its what I'm getting across in the video but i could alter the title.

Know the event you are attending - some very "classy" events require a 30 year old was jacket and wellies to "fit in"!
