A former coworker from Mississippi told me once that she would never leave the house without a full face of makeup and her hair done. Growing up in Mississippi, she said the only excuse for going out even to the gas station with your face bare was if your momma died. She said she was moving and ran to the grocery to pick up lunch for the movers. A church friend saw her and was immediately horrified. She said with tears in her eyes, “when did your momma fall ill?” Glynda laughed and explained that she hadn’t lost her mom, she was just surprised by the movers who showed up hours early. She hadn’t had time to fix her face. They both laughed and her friend said she understood. But Glynda never left home without makeup again.

[@StylewithSerena]

😂😂😂 My mother was like that. She put on a full face of makeup every day even if she didn't plan on leaving the house! It just made her feel better. My 88 yr old MIL and 82 yr old aunt still wear lipstick and mascara every day. I'm not quite so rigid. I will go makeup free if I'm having a "home" day or if I'm just running to the grocery, etc. But I have found that if I run to the store with no makeup, in my sweats, it's guaranteed that I will run into multiple people I know! 😂😂😂 So I try to put on some concealer, mascara, lipgloss, if nothing else

[@napamoonlight9997]

I’m of the era where you had to wear your Levi jeans enough to have naturally caused the rips and fades (hippie age). It became a badge of honor to have lived life in your Levi’s enough to have created bedraggled hems, fades and rips. Some people wore holes in their back pockets. THAT was a pair of jeans telling a long story. Often kids would covet their older siblings worn out jeans because the jeans had been imbued with their sibling’s adventures (misadventures??) and milestones in their lives. You know the saying - if walls could talk - the same went for a worn out pair of Levi jeans. For that reason, I never got on board with the short cut, cheapened version of pre faded or ripped jeans. No, just NO.

[@stephanywisecarver9673]

Hi Serena! It seemed to me that, from your point of view, a classic look is more attractive for us ladies of a certain age. And I agree. The fashion industry is so polluting to our planet. The dyes are toxic and making fabric uses huge amounts of water. So buying classic styles that can be worn for more seasons can be less expensive and better for Mother Earth. Also, when the garment is still not worn looking, sometimes you can have it restyled. I don’t know how much that costs as I upcycle my own clothes, but I would think some minor alterations such as hemming or replacing buttons or taking in the side seams for instance would be cheaper than buying a new garment. I hope you will mention this on your channel. Thanks.

I am 71 years old and I worked retail for 40 years with the last 20 in my own store and I can tell you I’ve seen and bought many types of flip flop and I can assure you that some flip flops are as nice as sandals especially if you have a nice pedicure to go along with them. Too bad we can’t add photos because you would probably change your mind if you saw some of the flip flops I wear with dresses.

[@luciannedemarco6296]

Hi Serena - I so relate to your style. I'm in my late 50's and looking to rebuild my work wardrobe. Would love to see you make a video demonstrating how to build one. Showing us how many pieces of each item one should have for a 5 day in office attire (bus casual). Many thanks! XO

[@StylewithSerena]

Sounds like a great idea!

[@elaineheim6477]

I would love to see this too

[@alli992]

Me, too. I'm always looking at people's shoes to see what they are wearing with their trousers. I'm old school and only stilettos seem to work.😆

[@angelabluebird609]

While you are asking Serena, I'll add I always chose classics for the office and dressy occasions. They always look polished, flattering and do not go out of style. There are videos about how to purchase pieces that mix, match and extend our work wardrobe. Neutrals are our friends. Monochromatic dressing can be very attractive, the same or different shades of one color. It also isn't something we see a lot, so it sets one apart from the crowd in a subtle way. We can add accessories to brighten or refresh over time. Hope you'll enjoy rebuilding your work wardrobe!

[@angelabluebird609]

@@alli992 As a petite, I often need to have trousers hemmed to wear with lower (non stiletto) heels. Different heel heights work better with a medium pant width, neither very tapered nor very wide. Hope this helps!

I wear what makes me look and feel amazing. Looking "cheap" and "frumpy" is a matter of one's opinion. I don't follow style "rules" and trends.

100% agree with everything you said (including the “if you like it, do it!” When, please, will the destroyed jeans “trend” be over???? Just so everyone knows, this started in the mid-80s-IT’s NOT FASHION/NEW/HIP/COOL!😮

[@StylewithSerena]

Exactly!

[@robinbrook5624]

Just stumbled across your channel, WOW! Agree with every one of those. There are simply some things that look cute or even great on a teen or even a twenty something that looks cheap on us. Fashion trends often run in 20 or 30 year cycles, and I was told many years ago, if you wore it the last time it was hot, you shouldn't wear it this time. Ripped jeans was a perfect example. When I was a teen we ripped out the hems and sewed on patches, and rocked the look. We wore big platform shoes and boots in the early 70s, this time around a much more conservative version at most is appropriate.

[@oklahomaisok]

Classic, comfortable and clean has been my choice for the past 20 years. Dark indigo higher waist straight-leg Lee jeans fit well and are slenderizing. So many colors and prints go with it. Pairs well with a navy long-sleeve wrinkle-free button up shirt for example. Too many colors in a print are loud so I like to wear monotones or a single color with a neutral or jewel tone. Also prefer 3/4 sleeves in the summer and long sleeves other months. If wearing a skirt the A-line ones in neutral colors with a nice weight fabric is good with print tops.

[@ElaAusDemTal]

Well said! In addition to that, I stopped wearing tank tops or spaghetti strap tops when I was in my mid 40s - while I still wear those during the day, I choose to cover my upper arms for formal occasions! 3/4 sleeves are my favorite as well.

[@melindahall5062]

I live in Arizona and flip flops are part of our uniform. I have a number of different pairs which are colorful and not cheap looking. I really can’t give them up.

[@joanbean9572]

I love a well made flip flop such as Fit Flops, Clark’s, etc. My feet are small with a bunion. The toe strap helps me keep them on as opposed to a slide that I can walk out of especially when stepping up stairs. Also they are easy to pack. Agreed they should not be worn everywhere but for home and a quick errand I love them. I do wear mostly other type of sandals out.

I’m not sure if it looks good with everything though.

I’ve had a very hard time with how to dress myself for the past 10 years. After going through menopause and gaining a lot of weight, I was not comfortable in anything. I was embarrassed to be seen and I used to be an attractive, well dressed woman. I have been slowly losing weight and I am beginning to get more comfortable in my clothing. I have found that solid color long sleeve pull over tops with a nice pair of jeans have been working well for me as I wear ankle boots or nice athletic shoes. I am begging to feel comfortable in my clothes which is a big plus for me. I couldn’t agree more with everything you said in your video. I also have learned less is more when it comes to jewelry. Thank you for sharing. I will be watching more of your videos.

[@lindal.8917]

I really enjoyed your tips and I agree. I would like to see a video with suggestions for appropriate attire for dining in fine restaurants in the evening, going to a play, etc. What is too dressy and what is too casual. People tend to be way too casually dressed these days and it sometimes borders on being disrespectful and rude. Plus, they are missing out on the fun of wearing something special. Thanks!

[@StylewithSerena]

I agree with you 100%!!! I am shocked at what I see in "nicer" restaurants & venues. I do feel like it's disrespectful sometimes. That being said, what is considered "dressed up" varies widely depending on your location. In larger cities, more metro areas, people tend to dress nicer in public. In Small towns & rural areas, it's much more casual. I live in a city of about 250k people, and it's the largest city surrounded by a lot of smaller towns and rural areas and those folks come here to shop, eat, go to movies, etc and they are usually easy to spot bc they're much more casual. But my city is much more casual than NYC or Chicago for example. One thing that absolutely makes my blood boil is seeing a man in a restaurant with a baseball cap on 😡. My grandfather often wore a cap when he was outside working in the yard or garden, but he took it off when he can inside the house for lunch! Same with my dad. It's sooo rude for a man to leave a hat on while eating. Unless he's outside, I suppose.
