I have only in the last few years discovered how much better a v-neck tee shirt or top looks on me. Such a simple change. 😊

At 65 my legs are still great, so I have begun to wear more dresses here in hot, humid Alabama summers. It’s also so much more comfortable. I love linen dresses and don’t mind looking “fashionably” rumpled as I call it. I’m petite, only 5 ft tall and formerly had an athletic inverted triangle shape, which I didn’t really mind. Age and a thicker midsection have transformed me into a rectangle. I’m always open to hearing new tips to look my best….not younger mind you…..just better at this age.

Thank you for your wonderful content. Wanted to share a posture story and yes, just how much good posture can achieve. A friend broke her back a year ago, a terrible, painful and frightening thing, but ironically she looks amazing now. She has to watch her posture to prevent pain and to strengthen her back. I watched her correct herself one day and suddenly she looks 6 inches taller and 20 lbs slimmer - which also made her look younger too. Now I watch my posture all the time.

So glad 2 find ur channel, as your body shape/size nearly identical, but mine is newly-acquired from 1 yr wt loss. The mass is same as 30 yrs ago, but age has shape-shifted a lot, so I need to learn how to take best advantage!- I dont even pull off dressing with the panache u bring, but its reassuring or confidence-building that a number of these tips have been in my do/dont repertoires for awhile- an aging silver lining is I’ve simply had more time to improve with experience. Thank u for creating such a helpful channel where I need it most!!

@Off_the_clock_astrophysicist11 ай бұрын
I wear a lot of skirts and I find that my legs look their longest with low cut pumps (pumps that do not rise high on the foot). This is a lengthening effect that is more important than the shape of the toe box. Round toe (or my favorite, almond) pumps are as elongating as pointy toe pumps and a lot more comfortable. I think a smaller toe box (as opposed to the elongated one of a pointy toe pump) contributes to the illusion of longer legs by giving the illusion of tiny feet. The legs look long in comparison. Our brain is amazing. Pointy toes become important when the top of the foot is hidden, either by a pant leg or a loafer type shoe.

Great tips Deirdre. I totally agree about having things tailored to fit. At barely 5ft most thing are too long for me. I can shorten hemlines myself but tops and blouses are often around my mid thigh. Going through my wardrobe recently i realised how many things I dont wear because of this so I took them to a local dressmaker for shortening. What a difference! Definitely worth the expense because I now have so much more to wear 👍

I live in a cold climate and higher necklines are a must in the winter time. I like scarves, but they are fussy and sometimes, I just want to be warm and forget about it. Pendants, as mentioned in the video, help. As does the color blocking. Anything that creates vertical lines near the neckline. I am petite, but luckily (I see it now) I have a small bust.

I just watched your bathing suit with cover-up options and adore those ideas, but what could I wear on a daily basis? Not to work, but just out and around without being so hot, but still looking great. You may already have a video on this particular topic, and I just haven't found it yet.❤❤❤.
