00:03

[Music]



00:09

hey everyone good to see you again it's



00:11

sharla with the right side of 50



00:13

speaking to you a woman of a certain age



00:15

who wants to dress from the inside out



00:17

and today my friends we're talking



00:20

blazers



00:21

okay so you know i'm a jean jacket girl



00:23

typically in my closet when i put



00:25

together an outfit i grab that jean



00:27

jacket to top everything off we're going



00:30

to take it to the next level and i'm



00:31

here to tell you that the blazers are



00:33

the new jean jackets for fall you ready



00:36

okay so starting with this little outfit



00:39

now as you see the outfit that i have on



00:41

i easily could have thrown a jean jacket



00:43

over it kept it a little more casual i



00:45

like to be a little more elevated okay



00:47

so



00:48

here we go topping it off with the



00:50

blazer i'm going to start with talking



00:51

about the blazer the blazer is by lemon



00:53

tart okay



00:55

it the nice thing i like about this is



00:57

there's no buttons



00:59

typically sometimes if there's a button



01:00

on people have a tendency to want to do



01:02

this it looks a little businessy so i



01:04

like the fact that it still has the



01:05

shape of it wood but there's no buttons



01:07

or anything fussy it's a very very soft



01:11

fabric almost like a t-shirt fabric so



01:13

there's there's no stiffness to it at



01:15

all so it's so comfortable if you are



01:18

back in the boardroom or if you are



01:20

sitting on a zoom call or things like



01:21

that for work super comfortable as



01:23

comfortable as a t-shirt honestly um



01:26

another thing i love about this you know



01:27

that i'm a girl who always kind of like



01:29

like puckers up my sleeves a little bit



01:31

especially when i'm showing an ankle in



01:34

this case these sleeves this is as long



01:36

as it goes because there's a little bit



01:38

of a ruching a little bit gathering here



01:40

that naturally puckers so you not you



01:42

don't have to deal with pushing up and



01:44

it falls down pushing up and it falls



01:45

down as you put it on it stays you're



01:48

ready to go so underneath this blazer i



01:51

put a little allison joy cami you've



01:53

seen me wear this before i kind of love



01:55

these camis because they're just a go-to



01:57

in the closet



01:59

i'm going to tell you with this little



02:00

cami the one i have on is cream again



02:02

it's adjustable straps so if you need it



02:06

higher or lower on your decollete you



02:08

have that option it also comes in two



02:10

other colors that we have right now this



02:12

one um online it's listed as gold i



02:15

would describe it maybe more of like a



02:17

pumpkin color and then it also comes in



02:19

a basic black and then can we talk about



02:22

the pants okay



02:24

so for fall one of the things on your



02:26

hit list that you need to have is a



02:28

vegan leather okay so these are by spanx



02:31

they're the leather like jogger okay



02:33

what makes it a jogger okay what makes



02:35

it a jogger is because it is gathered at



02:38

the ankle here okay again like a spank



02:40

you just pull her on i will tell you



02:42

with these joggers they're not as



02:45

constricting i would say as your as the



02:47

first spanx that ever came out we all



02:49

have that spank in our closet we gotta



02:51

lay on the bed and pull them on but in



02:52

the end we look great these you can go



02:55

with your true size like i'm wearing a



02:56

small right now and i'm typically a 26



02:58

27 and a jean they pull on very easily



03:01

but not like a compression pant if



03:04

that's uh the best way that i could



03:06

describe it so again it gathers on the



03:08

bottom now again i'm five nine look how



03:10

nice and long these are love it



03:12

another thing that i love about these



03:14

banks they have pockets so rarely in a



03:16

spank do you find a pocket and these i



03:18

just love sometimes you find a heel that



03:21

is so comfortable and these are the ones



03:23

these are by kenneth cole um it's kind



03:26

of like i would say a nude color and it



03:28

has a little bit of a suede to it so



03:30

these can take you all through fall even



03:32

into winter also if you do a shoe that



03:35

is nude um it actually elongates your



03:38

leg because every time you



03:40

adjust color your eye compartmentalizes



03:42

and it breaks it up a little bit so



03:43

keeping a new nude shoe just keeps that



03:46

long lean look that you're gonna want in



03:48

your legs okay



03:50

um and then you know me always got to



03:51

top it off with a little bit of jewelry



03:54

so um i i topped it off with this little



03:56

tiered necklace here again it's one



03:58

necklace but two layers because it's a



04:01

little bit um



04:02

more going on here with the lace and the



04:04

double layers i kept the earrings super



04:06

simple so it's a very simple stud now



04:09

this stud comes in a little pack i'm



04:12

going to show you quickly this little



04:13

pack so these are the studs i have on



04:15

but then there's also like a little



04:17

dangle and a tiny hoop so that's always



04:20

a great value to get three three for one



04:22

i guess and then um bracelets because i



04:24

always gotta have bracelets um this is a



04:26

little coiled bracelet just goes right



04:28

on so no matter if you have a real tiny



04:29

wrist or a thicker wrist it's easy on



04:31

easy off and i just have three of them



04:33

stacked right there let's talk about



04:35

this al uh ever eve



04:37

everly



04:38

pullover i love it it's a very very soft



04:42

sweater it's got a little bit of a



04:44

v-neck here um it's got look at the



04:46

little ribbing that starts at your



04:48

shoulder and comes all the way down



04:49

which i love because it gives a real



04:51

slim arm here



04:53

it's got this cute little cut on the



04:54

side it runs a little bit longer so if



04:57

you remember the jogger those spanx



04:59

joggers that i had on in the outfit



05:01

previous



05:02

if you still are a little unsure about



05:05

you love the jogger but you're unsure



05:06

about wearing something shorter with a



05:07

spank this is a great alternative you



05:09

could wear this with those same joggers



05:12

get the same look okay so i'm also going



05:14

to let you know that this sweater comes



05:16

in two other colors i'll show you



05:19

this one which is a basic black which



05:22

again you know us girls we like to have



05:23

that basic black sweater because it goes



05:25

with everything and then there's this



05:27

little i'm gonna call it like a plum



05:29

color a light plum cover i just love it



05:31

which is a hot color this fall really on



05:34

trend with that color so those are two



05:35

other colors that that comes in



05:38

i'm wearing them with skinny jeans we've



05:40

talked about skinny jeans my friend you



05:42

can wear them and rock them with



05:43

confidence skinny jeans these are the



05:45

good legs by good american and they're a



05:49

step hem



05:50

if that's a new term to you a step hem



05:53

what it is is the hem of the pant in the



05:55

back is one length and then the front is



05:58

a little bit shorter creating a step so



06:01

that's where the step hem comes in all



06:03

right and then um got these great little



06:06

sam edelman slides on how cute are they



06:08

so preppy with the cute little buckle



06:11

right here which i absolutely love and



06:13

then to top the whole thing off



06:16

comes the blazer are you ready from



06:18

sanctuary you're going to love this



06:23

great plaid it's an oversized blazer



06:27

right look at this thing



06:29

06:33
