00:14

i'm going to speak to you a woman of



00:15

certain age because i am a woman of a



00:17

certain age



00:18

and just talk about dressing for our age



00:22

i think sometimes what happens is we get



00:25

in our mindset



00:26

that we're in our 50s so we have to



00:28

dress



00:29

old um we can't wear what our kids are



00:32

wearing or we see a really fashionable



00:34

woman on the street and we're like oh my



00:35

gosh



00:36

she looks so great i wish that was me



00:40

i'm here to tell you it can be you



00:43

we have so many times customers that



00:45

come in beautiful beautiful women



00:47

and we share clothes with them or they



00:50

walk up to outfitting and just love it



00:52

and i say oh my gosh she should try that



00:54

on and she'll say



00:55

i'd love this but i could never wear



00:58

that



00:58

here's the deal i'm here to tell you you



01:01

can



01:03

the confidence that you're going to feel



01:05

when you are dressing



01:06

the way you feel inside is going to



01:09

change



01:10

how you go about your day it's going to



01:12

change how you feel about yourself



01:14

and it's going to change how you look at



01:16

things in life



01:18

we are here to walk you through that we



01:19

are here to come alongside you



01:22

show you fun outfitting that's going to



01:23

keep you on trend



01:26

and match who you feel like you are on



01:29

the inside



01:29

i'm going to talk you through a few



01:31

things that i'm wearing today



01:33

that might encourage you to come in and



01:34

try something new



01:36

so shorts i shared with you a little bit



01:39

how i don't always love to put shorts on



01:41

because i don't love my legs



01:43

so on the days that i'm not courageous



01:45

to wear shorts



01:47

i'm going to grab a skirt these are



01:49

really on trend right now these little



01:50

tiered skirts



01:51

grabbed one at every light fabrication



01:54

it's got some gauze to it so or the



01:56

god's fabrication keeps it



01:58

so summer ready um it's very



02:01

trendy right but i'm still feeling



02:04

confident in it because



02:06

like i said on a day i don't want to



02:07

show my legs



02:09

i can just have this one threw on a pair



02:11

of really cute



02:12

lester sandals they're comfortable i



02:15

can't



02:15

honestly at this age i've done the high



02:17

heels i've done the



02:19

super super high sandals that maybe



02:22

weren't always great for my feet so i



02:25

can wear a



02:26

cute little shoe like this that feels



02:28

good i can walk all day



02:30

yet i still am on trend and then i



02:32

topped it off with just a little



02:33

basic tank i can't always wear these



02:36

cute girls wear all these cute little



02:37

bralettes



02:38

girl i gotta wear bra okay so when i'm



02:40

putting on my bra



02:42

sometimes these little tops don't cover



02:44

like my brows sticking out i want to



02:46

have a straw bra strap sticking out



02:47

so this is a real bra friendly it's got



02:50

a wider strap



02:51

a higher neck and then i just tuck it in



02:53

the front a little bit here to create a



02:55

little bit of a shape a little bit of a



02:56

waist



02:57

those of you that aren't always



02:58

comfortable wearing a tucked in shirt



03:01

this this tank is a little bit longer



03:03

and it's still



03:04

real got a cute finish here that runs



03:06

down the front so if you do feel more



03:07

comfortable



03:08

just having it out you can you can



03:10

always knot it on the side too for



03:12

another fun little look



03:13

but i just do a front tuck here you can



03:15

tuck it all the way around



03:16

if you really want to accentuate your



03:18

waist and then just do a little pucker



03:20

this is our little um painted heart tank



03:22

from chaser which is exclusive to every



03:24

which i just love



03:25

and then i always top it off with a



03:26

little jewelry i like to this is a



03:28

double pack i put two packs on because i



03:30

love my bracelets all the time um just



03:32

some basic jewelry some simple earrings



03:34

and i feel great i feel like on trend



03:38

i feel actually i feel younger than i



03:40

really



03:41

think i am or that i know i am i should



03:43

say i'm really feeling like



03:45

i'm coming across as the age i feel



03:47

inside



03:48

not the age that the calendar says



03:50

that's look one



03:51

i'll be right back with look too okay



03:53

i'm back



03:54

look number two the outfit that i chose



03:56

next is



03:58

for a day when i am feeling a little



04:00

more confident in wearing shorts



04:02

my legs don't look the same as they did



04:04

15 years ago



04:06

so i honestly feel a little better



04:09

in a bermuda short a little bit of



04:11

length to cover up some of the



04:13

cellulite that's happening and all the



04:15

things i love doing that i also



04:18

the my midsection of course is not as



04:21

flat as it was



04:22

pre-children um and with age that has



04:24

changed



04:25

so i like a higher rise at my age i just



04:28

feel like it keeps all the things in



04:30

it also defines my waist more rather



04:33

than sitting lower



04:35

and then giving me like the muffin top



04:37

look i have a tendency to go a little



04:39

bit



04:39

higher in my rise and keep everything in



04:42

and then i think they those these higher



04:44

rise also pair really nicely with a lot



04:46

of the blouses and tops that are out



04:47

right now that are running a little bit



04:49

shorter



04:50

so for someone not just my age but also



04:52

my height



04:53

i like the fact that my jeans kind of



04:57

rise up i guess to meet the base of the



05:00

blouse



05:01

i also like a blouse that has a banding



05:04

banded waist



05:05

which this one does just a little bit



05:07

here to me



05:08

it helps create a little bit of a shape



05:11

and more of a shape than maybe i



05:13

have now it's a little more the way i



05:16

shape i used to have



05:18

um where my waist was a little more



05:19

defined but if you put on something that



05:22

is abandoned waist



05:23

it really accentuates that small the



05:26

smallest part of your body



05:28

um and then the blouse out here really



05:30

makes sure as it blouses out here makes



05:32

your way seem a little bit smaller



05:34

another reason why i picked this blouse



05:36

because i love it so much it's an



05:38

alternative to a tank top



05:39

because in reality there's some problem



05:42

issues that i shouldn't even say problem



05:44

but it's something that i have a



05:45

tendency to focus on



05:46

and it's the gapping between like my



05:49

armpit and my bra line



05:50

where it's a little bit like spongy for



05:54

the lack of a better term



05:56

that's what i always call it so if you



05:58

have a blouse



05:59
