00:13

speaking to you a woman of a certain age



00:15

who want to be styled from the inside



00:17

out so today



00:19

we're talking all things skinny jeans



00:22

yes they are still relevant yes you can



00:25

rock them i am giving you permission we



00:28

are going to talk about wearing them in



00:30

different aspects of your life at work



00:31

at going out with friends and then your



00:34

everyday errands we're going to talk



00:36

top to bottom styling with these things



00:39

okay are you ready here we go okay so



00:41

the first look we're going to talk about



00:43

is something that you can wear to work a



00:44

lot of you are kind of maybe moving from



00:47

your zoom calls to going back into the



00:49

office and what does that look like okay



00:52

so with your skinny jeans the ones that



00:54

i'm wearing today are cut from the cloth



00:56

they're the mia high rise i want to show



00:58

you something really cool about these



01:00

they have a little bit of a button



01:01

detailing right here so that's your



01:03

button fly and it goes up nice and high



01:06

again you know me at my age i like to



01:08

keep in high a high rise to keep



01:10

everything in and then true to a skinny



01:13

they should fit like a glove



01:15

from the top all the way down now these



01:18

i'm a tall gal i'm 5'9



01:20

and these are quite long and i love that



01:23

i love that because it really gives that



01:24

clean look all the way down to the ankle



01:26

okay they have some stretch in them



01:29

which if you're sitting down at your



01:30

desk or having whatever it is that you



01:32

need to do and move these are going to



01:34

move right along with you



01:35

cut from the cloth



01:37

sometimes i like to size down and cut



01:39

from the cloth just so that it really



01:41

holds you in the places that you want it



01:43

to hold okay has a little bit of



01:45

distressing not too much nothing where



01:47

you're going to see skin it's just a



01:48

little bit of distressing here and then



01:50

right here so it's going to keep you on



01:52

trend but still work appropriate all



01:54

right i paired it with this fun little



01:56

lara blouse from alice and joy that's



01:58

our house brand so you're only going to



02:00

find it at every i'm going to come close



02:02

and show you some detailing on this



02:03

blouse the pattern is phenomenal it's



02:06

kind of like a little bit of a jeweled



02:07

green with a navy and a black accent so



02:11

leading you into fall with those colors



02:13

for sure



02:14

i paired it with the fun vince camuto



02:16

you guys know i like these i've worn



02:17

these before because they're a favorite



02:19

of mine easy on easy off slides it does



02:22

again have that heavier gold chain



02:24

detailing so i paired then my jewelry to



02:27

meet it there and i put a little um



02:29

heavier jewelry sorry a little heavier



02:32

gold bracelet on here now for work you



02:34

know some of you don't want to be too



02:36

jeweled heavy and i completely



02:37

understand that so whatever's



02:39

appropriate for your workplace i did



02:40

pair it with a little bit thicker



02:42

earring here and then just kept it



02:43

simple with without doing a necklace on



02:45

so that's my top to bottom with skinny



02:48

jeans for work i'll be right back with



02:50

look number two okay i'm back with look



02:53

number two for the skinnies are you



02:55

ready okay this time i am wearing these



02:58

amazing legging ankle by a g i'm going



03:02

to talk to you about a little bit about



03:03

it here okay ready first of all let's



03:05

start with the color it's a deeper blue



03:07

than what we've been wearing for the



03:08

summer so those of you that are kind of



03:10

like moving up moving forward from that



03:13

light blue we're into a deeper blue this



03:15

is going to be your girl you ready next



03:17

thing stretchy look at this like it is



03:19

like it true to true to its name it is a



03:23

almost feels like a legging like a



03:24

legging ankle and then you always got to



03:26

do the squat test right make sure that



03:28

everything is going to move as you move



03:30

um these are great love also having the



03:33

skinny in my closet at all times because



03:36

guess what the tall boots are back and



03:38

those legging jeans are what you need to



03:40

get those on and off the boots i'm



03:42

wearing right now are by vince camuto



03:44

i've got a simple zipper up the side a



03:46

little square toe brown suede awesome



03:49

another thing i like about these is it's



03:51

not quite as high of a rise um as the



03:53

last pair that i had on but it's still



03:55

for my age it still keeps all the things



03:57

in um which i always appreciate right



04:01

okay so i paired this off with a little



04:04

waffle top by ever eve um you can see by



04:07

the fabrication a little bit of the



04:08

waffle there and then it has almost like



04:10

a little cuff here a fabric cuff that



04:13

runs tight around your wrist and then it



04:15

kind of crisscrosses in the front a



04:17

little bit



04:18

it is held together with a little hook



04:20

and eye so it keeps everything in place



04:22

okay now you noticed when i told you



04:24

it's an every top because for those of



04:26

you who weren't aware we have our own



04:28

brand yep we do so this is at every top



04:31

by ever eve um obviously and then we



04:35

finish this this little top off it



04:37

almost has appears like it's tucked in a



04:39

little bit that's because they've had a



04:41

really nice finish here and it kind of



04:42

runs lower in the back



04:44

which as someone my age i kind of like



04:46

it to run a little bit lower



04:48

so it appears like it's tucked in when



04:50

it's not kind of get blouses out a



04:52

little bit which i like because then i'm



04:53

not tucking so much fabric into my waist



04:56

okay



04:57

um and then some of you you can wear it



04:59

just as is but some of you like myself



05:01

might want to have a little more



05:03

coverage so i layered it on top of this



05:05

little alice and joy cami it's a little



05:07

cream cami it has some lace here just so



05:09

you know that the cami um has adjustable



05:12

straps so if you're feeling like you



05:14

want the lace a little bit higher in



05:15

your decollete or you want it just to



05:16

run across the v here um on the little



05:19

waffle top you can adjust that whatever



05:21

you feel comfortable with now i'm going



05:23

to wear this outfit when it's maybe



05:25

either a date night or a girls wine



05:28

night going out with friends since we're



05:29

all kind of going out a little more i



05:31

feel super comfortable in this and then



05:32

i always top it off with a little bit of



05:34

jewelry okay this one was this fun



05:36

little necklace i want to show you guys



05:38

this so it's like a chain and then it



05:40

has a little circle and then you put the



05:41

little loop through the circle and then



05:44

you can adjust how long you want this



05:45

little tail to be on your neck so i



05:47

thought that was kind of fun one of my



05:48

favorites okay so that was look two with



05:51

05:54
