10 Common Habits I had to STOP to Improve My Style

[@victoriakelly8989]

I am a woman in her sixties, and for a long time I thought I was pretty stylish. I shopped at the stores women my age were supposed to shop in, and wore the comfortable shoes I was supposed to be wearing. One day I was walking by one of those dark shaded windows and caught my reflection. I stopped and stared and nearly had a melt down then and there. This person was not me. This style was not mine. When did I think a batwing anything was a good look? I bought into the narrative that women of a certain age need to look a certain way and had purchased way too many things that supported that narrative. I have always been a classic dresser with quality over quantity. The return to that style has saved me money, taken at least 10 years off of my look, and made me feel like I am once again home in my own body.

I love this, Victoria, thank you for sharing! I am pretty positive a lot of us buy into the “what I’m supposed to wear now that I’m __ age” I’m so glad you were able to see that and turn it around ❤️

[@astriddeslandes2373]

@@victoriakelly8989 I'm turning 62 and for the past 20 years there have been people who have commented that I don't dress "my age". Not quite sure what that even means. I show no skin (not my style) and I'm not super trendy. But I do view clothing as "play". I always have. I have LOTS of clothes and shoes, but some of them are over 30 years old. I love shopping in my own closet and just trying new things. Clothes are just that... Play. Life is too short to concern ourselves with pleasing other people's expectations of what *we* should look like.

[@veronicacarmody115]

I’m in my mid 60’s too and I just couldn’t dress like a woman “my age”. I think it’s awful what merchandisers do to women our age. I think their main idea is to make us look as irrelevant, and frumpy as possible. It’s almost satirical. I’m sorry this happened to you. I’m glad you made your way back to a style that you love.

[@sheilakosoff5806]

As a teacher, l always planned my outfit the night before. I included everything ( underwear, accessories, perfume, makeup, shoes and even body lotion) I could not think in the morning , and this planning was a lifesaver! I was always complimented on what I was wearing every day for 20 years. I was even voted best dressed by my students.

I went to private school all my life thank goodness for UNIFORMS!!! I went to a luxury--private schools if it weren't for uniforms I would never have been able to keep up with the Jones’s....LOL ....Wish I could wear work uniforms life and style would be so much better!!!

[@bethanyk6525]

Finding casual clothes is the hardest. It’s so easy to buy for the “fantasy self”…date night outfits, weddings, graduations, parties, the sudden black tie event! 😂 I have always wondered “who goes on that many date nights and to that many weddings and parties and graduations and girls nights out…?” Definitely not me. Trying to match a somewhat stylish outfit to my casual lifestyle is my struggle! I have a closet full of going out clothes that just sit there. 🙄😬🤨 Great video! Thank you!

[@denisedorsey2889]

One of the ways to look more modern these days is to pair a “fancy” item with a casual piece. You could try that with your clothes and see if you like it. It might take a bit to get used to the look on you, but what do you have to lose? So pop on that fancy blouse with the jeans, throw on a blazer, add sneakers and accessories and then look in the mirror. You might be surprised. Have fun with it!

[@33Jenesis]

I can relate 😂. It’s basically fantasy purchases. I am retired so I foresee funerals would be dominating my special occasion lol. Being at home most of the time, looking casual but fab is a tall order. I try my best to put on different jeans, non tee shirt looking tops, and various jewelry daily and don’t wear them to bed. The struggle is real. However I sort of treat getting dressed as a defense against falling thru the crack of not caring about my looks. I hope to always be mindful of my looks, at home or not, to fight against not caring about everything…..

[@tennilledebysingh5819]

I struggle with this problem too. I stopped buying for my fantasy self long ago when I realized it was a fantasy via videos like this. Lol. I had to figure out what style of casual I am & What type of "home clothes" I like that I still feel good in, NOT sweatpants, leggings and basic tees.

[@ResonantSun17]

Hi Bethany, wear your going out stuff to lunch with a friend or by yourself, who cares. I love clothes and accessories, and try and get (casual) dressed up every day, just to go grocery shopping, and have a sit down coffee, and once a week, a sit down lunch, it makes me really happy. I am 64 and have been getting my clothes & accessories ready the night before, since I was a teenager. Take care. Debra xxx

I no longer go into an office for work & it’s been difficult for me to get out of that needing to dress up every day mode & find a casual style where I still feel good about myself. Investing in some good casual basics has made my life so much easier & because I love how organized my small closet is now, I am less tempted to impulse buy clothes that I know will just add clutter. Edit- I love your ramble at the end of the video! Positive energy is so much better than negative energy!! ❤

Amazon’s target pricing got me to buy several pairs of crystal studded flats ($15 a pair average). I wear them with jeans a lot. My friends are amazed at such combo because they thought these flats are for special occasions. But they look fab with jeans and sparkle like crazy under sunlights. I also wear bling jewelry with casual outfits, too. The plainer the outfit, the more mismatch I want my shoes, bag, and accessories to be 😂

[@dr.andriamiller3964]

Love that! Just went to Amazon looking for the shoes you described and can’t find any below $30 (still not a paid price) and most were over $50. Do you have a link? :)

[@33Jenesis]

@dr.andriamiller3964 I am not under Vine therefore I don’t get free products to test. However I am pretty diligent in writing reviews since 1998 when I first joined Amazon. All I did was looking for shoes for my choir stage dress and Amazon started to recommend these glitter flats with half off price under my shoe size. After a month I no longer had the special pricing. But I did buy 7 pairs of flats. I do recommend Cestfini ballet flats. They are not glittering but they do have pale hold and silver version. They are leather and pretty comfortable.

[@cathylehman7538]

Anna, I want to commend you on your statement about the woman who is fit in your gym. Women CAN have it all but not all at one time. You have it over a lifetime. Women do not understand this concept and become self loathing. When you accept this fact and give yourself the “grace” to be where you are at the time and the best self you can be, life becomes attainable and enjoyable❤

[@ANNAREID29]

This is such an accurate point, Cathy! I'm so glad you said it. It's a myth that we can have it all, and all at once. It's ok to prioritize and actually necessary to be successful in some areas. Right now I'm choosing time with my kids over extra time in the gym and I'm totally ok with that 😃❤️❤️❤️

[@ChristineCline-y8z]

Having it all is vanity, enjoy where you're at, grow, & make the very best of it. When I raised my kids we didn't have vacations, but we knew this going into parenthood. Clothes, fashion last thing on my mind, although I always wore makeup and looked good, always had a clean house, & who doesn't good in their 20s & 30s😅. Don't stress, nobody has it all. Life is about sacrifices, (especially when children are desired), lovely relationships & family. I enjoy your channel.

Or choose to reject some or any of it! If men can have it all, and we can’t, something is wrong.

I finally stopped looking at size. I am basically a S size but the cut from different brands and styles make size a lot less trustworthy. I now but M or L on certain styles to get the desired look. Jeans except skinny I now buy them a size larger (waist size). The slightly relaxed waist makes certain Jean styles so much better and good for weight fluctuation.

Anna I never ever compare myself (or my style) to other women. Doing so on any level is a breading ground for discontentment. I r4ealize that this can be easier said then done, but the pay off is huge.

Your 11th tip is the best tip. When I started KZbin (I have a tiny urban flower farm that I share my yearly exeperiences on) I was so nervous about my age (61 then, 63 now). However, that's just who I am, if you want someone younger, watch someone younger. The other thing I decided was that I would not try to look younger by wearing makeup or colouring my hair - I"m proud of how healthy I look and feel in my own skin - so I decided to be proud of my natural look. Releasing those anxieties has made youtube, and frankly all aspects of my life fun.

Excellent video, by far my favourite of yours! My bad habit is that I started shopping at the outlets and that, in my hunt for the next bargain, I lost my personal style. The other bad habit really stared out of necessity, l put on weight excessively and lost the sense of who I am. I would look at big girls and think they looked fab (i am talking about the ones who own it and thrive), “I could be just like them”, I would think, and -you guessed it- would shop accordingly! But of course we are who we are and for my part, I just never accepted graduating from a single digit to a double digit size (from a 6 to a 16) and so how can I ever be a woman I am rejecting for myself… clothes aren’t just clothes, they are an expression of our tqste, our socio economic world and our artistic individuality and by the same token, weight is t just weight: it’s a reflection of our relationship to ourselves, a sounding board of our past traumas and a billboard of our self esteem…be gentle people and chose kindness every time

Hi! I’m 59 yrs old and, yet, I relate so much to you. I also live in Florida so I stay away from the northern clothes.

Now that I know that I’m a minimalist, I understand why. I prefer solid colors. I don’t feel comfortable wearing chunky jewelry. Just because my best friend does, I don’t have to. It’s liberating. I still have to get the right pieces in my wardrobe but I’m not in a hurry as now I’m also keeping my body type as well as style in mind. In the meantime, I’m getting ready rid of items in my closet that don’t look fabulous on me little by little. Thanks for all your tips.

Totally agree with you on color coordinating your wardrobe. I do dark colors to light colors and it makes it so much easier to find what you want.

I really enjoy your channel. I love your style and your content is really thoughtful.

Excellent points! I’ve had to stop doing many/most of these things, too! I especially liked your tips about self care. (Former mental health professional here.) You come across as genuine. I subscribed. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

Great video, thank you! I really liked the part about not comparing yourself to other people and the wasted energy aspect. I have never thought about it that way. ❤

Your makeup looks great in this video.

retail therapy... the struggle is real. Ive been trying to get me a blazer, but living in florida and WFH, cant justify it.

Don’t buy dresses for a special occasion anymore. I wear what I already have in my closet and try to wear them different ways, accessorizing different ways. I just wear what I feel comfortable in, like a classic style, and accessorize to make it my style.

I honestly buy more basics than anything else, and i feel so good in them. Its all about the accessories. I have the smaller "it" thing/item as well, but it's discrete. I love your videos. They are truly inspiring. Thank you so much for doing this. I look forward to everyone. I wait for them every weekend.

I watch Diane in Denmark. She also chooses her full outfit before bed. Today is my seasonal wardrobe swap day. Big job but I will reap the benefits for weeks. Great video. So relatable. You are lovely!

I am in my 30's but still take so much of your advice!! #2 in this video really hit home! I've been through some really stressful things these past couple months and have found I'm really discontent with almost everything right now, especially clothes. I found I've spent more on clothes than ever, but it's really just ME that needs worked on!
