The ONLY 5 Style Rules I Follow Over 45 (You’ll Love These!)

[@60lollie]

One of my rules when buying bargains is the 3 outfit rule. Whatever I buy has to work in at least 3 outfits. Actually I use the 3 outfit rule for all my clothing purchases. 😄

YES. Same here. I am 69, do not feel 69, and wear what I like as long as I am comfortable and like the way I look. Forget what is supposed to be "appropriate" for your age.

[@jeannine520]

"Wear what you want" has been like an epiphany to me lately. I always bought clothes that I wanted to wear but never actually wore them. I was saving them for the "right" occasion, and what I mean by that is I was taking in to account what everyone else would be wearing around me so that I fit into whatever group I was going to be with. It dawned on me a couple of months ago that by letting the crowd dictate what I was wearing I was allowing strangers/coworkers/family members, etc., to dress me to the point that I was spending my life not feeling like myself. Kind of like getting dressed in someone else's closet and then feeling uncomfortable and resentful about it. I don't know why I didn't make those connections before but once I realized what I was doing it was easy to stop and dress only for myself. I can't overstate how much better I feel.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Love that, Jeannine! Maybe when your friends see how nice you are dressed they will be inspired too! xo

Great set of rules to follow and I agree with every one! Some years ago I lost 30 lbs, gained back almost 15, but managed to lose 5. I've been struggling to get rid of the last 10 and get back to where I was but I'm so tired of being hung up on numbers! I exercise and eat healthy most of the time, so I constantly have to remind myself that I'm fit and strong and to just accept my body for where its at. Watching your videos helps give me that confidence! Thank you!

[@BusbeeStyle]

I'm SO glad! Grant yourself some grace. You will get there. xo

[@Mexicobeanpole]

What if you don’t “get there”. What if you decide that right here, right now, this is EXACTLY where your weight and body should be? I’ve been 25 lbs over what my favorite weight is since hitting menopause. I’ve lost 15. I’ve become obsessed over those last 10 lbs. To the point of working on it a full year!! I finally decided to take a 3 month diet “eat at maintenance” break, and then try again. If it doesn’t come off this time, I’m going to just listen to my body, that since menopause maybe it does not want to be that thin. Will I be happy about that?. No. Will I be ok with it? Yes. Sometimes, it just is what it is.

[@autumnzellers3855]

This was really great Erin. I loved 3 and 5 especially. I’ve been trying to sit on potential purchases a little bit longer to see if it’s something I need or an impulse buy. I think this is something critical especially with the bargain bin. You think, “Oh if I don’t get it now it’ll sell out and then I’ll miss it!” Just giving myself an hour or so to think about it can help me determine whether I need it or not. And it’s not even limited to clothes. It’s been saving me $$. And I thought 5 was so important. Going outside of your comfort zone just a little and wearing what you want can definitely make life more enjoyable. I bought a tulle skirt and have already worn it once. I thought it was only for something special, but it’s really fun. Even to the grocery store, makes life a little more lighthearted. Thanks again for your inspiration. BTW I loved the photos you shared, so beautiful!

[@sonyavs455]

I so appreciate your channel, Erin! I am 63 and I have found with added years comes more attitude that I’m going to wear what pleases me. As America continues its decent into more casual, aka slouchy, I have maintained my classic style and appreciate it more than ever. It’s my form of ‘rebellion’ - ha! I like dressing up and will continue to do so. It makes me feel good. As for the numbers, with vanity sizing that started so many years ago to feed our egos, it’s clear that numbers haven’t really meant anything in a long time anyway. It’s good to know your inch measurements for an accurate fit if you buy things on line, but no, the numbers in my closet go from 2 to 10 and they all fit!

[@kellybonanno]

I completely agree, Erin! Wear what makes you feel comfortable and beautiful regardless of age. I never liked that no white after Labor Day rule, especially here in southern California when it's often 85 in November!

[@clairewillow6475]

You’re so right about not focusing on the number but focus on the fit. I changed sizes and I look better when I wear what fits and it’s not like anyone asks me what size I am. I need to accept it and rock it.

Thank you for this, Erin! My favorite idea of yours is to wear whatever I want, even if it's just cozy lounge clothes. As long as it supports the mood I want to achieve; either feeling relaxed or lovely in a pretty sweater.

[@iggybiggy821]

Awesome video! Best place to get to as a woman is embracing and dressing for the body you have and feeling wonderful in your clothes because they actually fit properly....because you bought the correct size, fit and style for YOU! That alone will make you feel better about yourself. Not to be misconstrued with giving up fitness and nutrition goals. I've been less fit, more fit or really fit (but not completely unfit) and I full on recommend learning to accept and love all of those versions of yourself younger than I did and dressing for them as required. You'll waste less time disliking your body and no money can ever buy that feeling! Add to this the classy strategic showing of skin, bargain beware and wear what you love, this video nails it Erin!

I love this! I recently lost a LOT of weight and have been using your advice to rebuild my wardrobe. I have literally had to replace everything in my closet (including shoes). Talk about a good excuse for a style reboot! (But also very overwhelming trying to start from nothing and build a closet without going broke😖) Some advice I would like to share-if someone is struggling with weight and feeling terrible like I was, finding a doctor that will listen is critical. I finally found a doctor willing to test me for an autoimmune disease, and getting the right diagnosis and treatment has changed my life. On the style rules: I can’t emphasize enough how important fit really is. In the process of rebuilding my closet, I have found brand sizes varying wildly. I am anything from an x-small petite/4P to a medium petite/10P depending on the brand all in the same day of trying on clothes. Bra sizes too-brands really vary a LOT, so really assessing how they fit regardless of what size the tag says is critical. If it doesn’t fit right, I don’t buy it. And on the bargain front, it is so true! I love a clearance sale, but if I wouldn’t pay full price for it, I don’t buy it. I look at the sales to find bargains on things I want but can’t stretch the budget to buy at full price. 1 style “rule” I live by: the right undergarments for the outfit are critical. Bad undergarments can ruin the nicest clothes, and the right ones can make a t-start and jeans look perfect.

First of all, YEA for #5!! As a woman of a certain age, I have finally embraced not caring/paying attention to sizes. Size is just a number! I go for comfortable, flattering fit now - no matter what the size is. When I first started to embrace this idea, I actually cut off the size tags of some of my clothes - a mind game, I know, but it helped!! Thanks for the inspiration and joy, Erin!

That's a great tip, Peggy! I tell people to do that all the time...totally works! xo

[@stephaniekaufman1830]

Great tip Peggy. And I love what you wrote!

[@fabienneclavier5984]

Yes and no. Yes, size is just a number, and even varies from brand to brand, but our state of mind still depends on said number. I am a short woman already wearing a size 18, took me years to accept the 18 as “just a number” - and I have never been skinny or a size 4 or anything. But because of perimenopause changes, and despite being careful and mindful, my body is currently changing big time and I feel it shouldn’t be long before I have to buy a size 20. And that’s a whole new psychological step here, going from “1” to “2”... very hard

[@pixie3760]

When I worked in television I was assigned to help a few of our ladies, I agree about fit 💯% also clothes that can be mixed and matched some of our guests had to travel by plane and they didnt want to bring suitcases full of clothes for 2 days. Just a simple trick of separates helped them so much. And if all else failed, I kept around half a dozen pretty shawls and I'd throw one of those over the whole thing, lol

At 67 I've learned to be confident in what I wear or I don't wear it, whatever "it" is. I've discovered recently how much I adore style/details reminiscent of the 1940's. The key is to keep the clothing updated, clean lines, chic, and classy. Also, I'm wearing lots of neutrals and mixing up the pairings. I'm even wearing neutrals that aren't in my color palette. I can make them work by using accessories or keeping my not best color on the bottom half. Confidence is truly everything!!

When you described how the dresses inspired the opera trip, the hotel stay, the photo shoots...I remembered that when my first daughter was born we threw a big party and that it was originally inspired by a beautiful dress I wanted to put the new baby in! I felt silly admitting that at the time, but I had since forgotten that the dress inspired the event, while the event itself is a fabulous memory.

They are a dark wash, have just the right whiskering, and are durable. Who cares what the numbered size is when it's sewn inside the jeans? Nobody but me knows what it says anyway.

My favorite rule is: wear whatever you want. In a way, I'm kinda lucky because I'm a performer, so I feel it's almost my duty to wear "risky" outfits.

I appreciate you telling your viewers you've gained a little, because most of us probably didn't notice a few extra pounds - that's how good you look RIGHT NOW!

I got a pair of bootcut which I would consider to be flares, but they are calling them bootcut now. I also got a pair of straight legs. Hopefully, those will get me through until I lose the weight. Of course, I've had to buy new tops and blouses. Mostly staple items like I said, just to get me through.

My biggest obstacle now is that I work remote….I exercise/yoga pre-work, mid-day, pre-bed….so, wearing much other than leggings/sports bra/jacket on weekdays is a true challenge….I just cannot justify the effort to change back/forth….and by the evening, I just resign myself to the comfy look. However, I do feel sexy, fashionable, young and fit! But, I very much miss the rest of my closet. Love your videos and insight 💕

[@BusbeeStyle]

I know you are not alone! Some days that makes the most sense! Glad you enjoyed this one, Christy! xo

The blush tulle & and then Elizabeth in the red! Stunning ladies

[@BusbeeStyle]

It was SO fun! xo

[@beautyforumbyangela]

I so agree with you. Do not get caught up in the size number. I am buying 2-3 pairs of jeans in different sizes to accommodate my menopausal ebbs and flows. This really helps my confidence. Thank you for your great style tips. Cheers 😉 🌷

[@mobe494]

How wonderful to see you and Elizabeth going to the opera! 🤗 She looked pumped!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 So happy you and your husband stepped out of your comfort zone and gave your children this priceless experience! Growing up abroad (as a military brat) shaped my ideals about culture and my place as an American in the world! Invaluable!!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you! I just love watching her face in that video! xo

[@viviennepayne7966]

I love the way you do recaps after telling us the points of style. Such a great teaching technique and what I used to do as a trainer for the airlines and as a teacher. This really reinforces the information. Well done.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you, Vivienne! I appreciate that feedback! xo

❣️amen❣️ “I will wear what ever I want at any age” love this rule!

[@debrawarrick2911]

Love these tips! ❤️ I'm 5'2" and I swear by my boot cut and flare jeans for adding elegance and height...with 2 or 3 inch heels 👠 of course.

[@EweTube4]

I wear what flatters me, what fits, what I feel comfortable in, what matches the occasion. I wore tea length dresses to my daughter's and my son's weddings. Weddings were outdoors. I wanted to dance and party! I work at home now, but I dress in nice blouses or tops (no one sees my jeans or leggings on video). Travelling to Ireland in Fall. Ireland is casual. Jeans, layers, and one pair of nice dressier slacks. Nice new Boots and walking shoes, that's it. I am 68 and all my life loved fashion! I am often told I look late 50's, that is so nice! I stay out of sun and have good genes. Also, life is joy! Put a smile on, it is your BEST accessorie!

These tips are soooo on point, erin. You really got down to the core of styling above 45. I ll be 55 years old this year. You have helped me rock every outfits with all your tips. Fashion has been my passion since young. You literally saved my menopause years. Warmest regards from Singapore🌸God bless u and your family🌷

[@BusbeeStyle]

You are SO sweet, Aida! So glad my content is so helpful for you! xo

[@alisonsneed3707]

Your best video to date. All the concepts! Especially the At Any Age philosophy, thank you for going there. And the activities being inspired by the garments - yes, totally yes. Clothing can make you live your best life.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you SO much, Alison! xo

[@debbiecs1964]

Oh my goodness. All these things apply to me right now. Just yesterday I was wearing a top that is now loose and I had to keep pulling it up. I didn’t want to let it go because it was one of my favorites, but now makes it feel a size too large. There are also days when I just feel like wearing workout clothes and times I want to wear jeans or whatever. When I follow that feeling is when I feel comfortable and confident that day.

[@nikicolka6195]

Thank you for this video, i'll be 35 this year and i feel it's time upgrade my closet more feminine, more clear in neutral colours, more organized. I love your chanel ❤ greetings from heart of Europe

[@cynthiacollins1378]

Love these, I have fallen for the bargain trap many times, thanks for talking about the fix to that

[@debra2415db]

Wow! When you said you wear something a couple days in a row. Because you feel confident in it, that made me happy!!! I've literally did just that recently. Wonderful to step out of the house and feel awesome, knowing you look and feel great! Then you said you can wear whatever you want at any age. Love, Love, Love!!!🤯🥳🤩😍❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@BusbeeStyle]

I'm so glad this video resonated with you! I truly appreciate your comment. xo

[@lindsayemigh4283]

Thank you for being real about weight cycling and still wanting to look and feel good. I’m petite too and get a bit freaked when I gain a little bit. But it’s nice to know I’m not the only one!

[@BusbeeStyle]

You got this! You are most certainly not alone, Lindsay! xo

[@sharonmeredith7106]

I love these! Great job Erin. I’ve been following quite awhile. I now get carded for not looking “old” enough! Thank you Erin!,, I’m now technically a Senior at 60 and Ive been turned away from Senior only shopping hours and I’ve had to show my ID! My rule to share…It’s none of my business what other people think of me… I try to be a conduit and not a container. I consider respectfully and then let things go and only hold what feels good to me. Great Video.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Love that, Sharon!! xo

[@2twentysix]

I do most of what you discuss and learnt some more but what I loved most is the special memory you created with your daughter ❤️

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you so much, Silv! xo

[@teriheilman717]

Thanks Erin! I’m an old chick but I love that you speak to us with fashionable choices and still look fashion appropriate! ❤️

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you SO much, Teri! xo

[@heatherwhittaker6169]

I love your channel Erin...I too want to move to Europe. Fingers crossed...I'm happy there..thank you for another great onexx

[@isabelbarragan5314]

I agree with push ourselves for that dream outfit you may think is not for you, genius Erin! You and your daughter looked as two princesses at the Opera night! Congratulations to you 👏

[@BusbeeStyle]

You are SO sweet, Isabel! Thank you! We felt like princesses! xo

[@mariemcgrath8681]

Love your Style ! Love your ideas ! and as someone (76) I like my 'style' comfortable/classic & always a wee splash of colour, usually my lippy. I'm way past Tulle, but you & your daughter look amazing...

[@kimm1169]

I love this video! I’m so guilty of the bargain trap! Lord help me! I have bought so many things just because then get them home and don’t even like them! Uugg! Also I love how you said to push yourself in things that you love but don’t normally wear! I’m going to do that!! By the way I love your Hair! It’s looks amazing!!

[@karathomas5746]

I LOVE the tulle skirt with the blazer and booties! Oohhh, that is an outfit I would aspire to wear! Just love your energy and words of inspiration!

[@BusbeeStyle]

You are SO kind, Kara! Thank you! xo

[@joywhitley3141]

Yes girl! I wear what I like and feel good in. ❤️

[@cheryljaquez7556]

That blush dress is absolutely gorgeous

[@melaniemulhall2277]

Great guidelines, Erin! And as a Coloradan, I'm looking forward to your return to Colorado. That said, your time in Madrid has been inspiring.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you, Melanie! We are back! This is the last video filmed in Spain. I tried to get ahead a little bit to make the transition home a bit easier! xo

[@anasaldate4402]

Thank you Erin! I’ve never been a stickler for following style rules but have had a hard time dismissing that little voice in the back of my head that I’m breaking a rule. These guidelines make so much more sense and will be my new rules to style by. My favorite rule is wearing what fits. I just received a style box this week and there was a coat that I absolutely loved, but it was too small for my broad shoulders. I grudgingly sent it back because I knew that, if I had kept it, every time I wore it, the I’ll-fitting shoulders would nag at me and I wouldn’t feel completely confident. Thanks for challenging me to shift my thinking to open myself up to so many more fashion possibilities.

[@BusbeeStyle]

You’re SO welcome, Ana! xo

[@rigleiaknapp3227]

It makes total sense! Thank Erin! I love you and all your content. You are genuine, kind, funny and smart.

[@BusbeeStyle]

You are SO sweet, Rigeia! xo

[@sharijensen1130]

I loved this video!!! I’m 60 and I do want to wear whatever I want!!! I loved all your advise! Thank you!!!

[@BusbeeStyle]

So glad, Shari! xo

[@creature57]

You're amazing Erin. Love this list and the video. Thank you! My favorite is Wear Whatever You Want. I've always done that but now I'm older, I'm even more selective than I used to be.

[@worthigirl2946]

I don't have rules for anything usually, but you are right on the money with your guidelines!! Agree with all!!💕💕

[@cindihunter9119]

Erin, you look so beautiful! Spain is totally agreeing with you! Love your style, and advice! Wished I looked better, and I'm working on my "self talk!" Confidence comes from within! Be the You-est, You can be! 🇪🇸♥️👠♥️🌱♥️🐓♥️

[@BusbeeStyle]

You are so sweet! Thank you! It really does! You got this!! xo

[@ivanahanus5101]

Hi Erin. Thank you for a great video. I am glad that I am not the only one wearing what I like at any age. I am 63 years old and I dress classy and elegant every day and I wear pastels and light colors in my basic trousers or skirts and get a lot of compliments. My shoes are from Europa art, and all are heels, I don't wear flat shoes as they are not comfortable for my feet. I don't feel like I am in my sixties, I have a young mind set, and live for each day.

[@BusbeeStyle]

You are so welcome! Thanks so much for sharing! xo

[@katerinahuskova4596]

Good point. I'd say less is more, I always try not to look like a Christmas tree or an advertisement poster. And my second rule may not be popular, but I think blue denim is not office appropriate, no matter what the dress code is (but just like I said, it's just my oppinion 🤷🏻‍♀️ )

[@ylcalif3681]

Another rule to add to the list: 1) Think about which clothing style best illustrates YOU (today) at a glance . . . you don't want your outward clothing messages to conflict with your inner self, intentions/mood/personality. Your clothing messages will change daily according to your mood and/or the event. That's why each woman wears an ever-changing range of styles (her signals to the world at that particular moment) I'm mostly classic + Boho + with a respectable bit of edgy

[@isolinaaustin1108]

Yes I wear what ever I want. I’m the same way if I fill good in it I’m going to wear it. Sometimes these stye rules can age us. You have nothing to worry about Erin you look great.😊

[@hopefully2224]

Your advice & personality is the best!

[@kathyellis2506]

Thanks for sharing your weight struggles and you still look great. I too am about 10lbs overweight and it is a constant struggle. But I still think I look pretty good for my age.
