00:03 [Music] 00:09 hey everyone it's so good to see you 00:11 again 00:12 i'm sharla for those of you that i 00:13 haven't met here to talk to women of a 00:15 certain age 00:16 about dressing from the inside out on 00:19 the right side of 50. 00:20 today we are talking about blouses and 00:23 i'm going to show you a few different 00:24 ways that you can wear blouses for 00:26 different occasions 00:27 i do love a blouse because a lot of 00:29 times i l sometimes when i'm grabbing in 00:31 my closet and we have the tank tops 00:33 we have the t-shirts a blouse just 00:35 elevates whatever you're wearing 00:37 just a little bit and you know me i like 00:39 to elevate things a little so let's 00:40 start off 00:41 with this great little blouse from 00:43 allison joy it's got a 00:44 fun little floral pattern to it a little 00:47 snap 00:47 front um i kept mine snapped all the way 00:50 up 00:50 um if you want to some people might you 00:53 know you can undo a couple snaps if 00:54 that's what you like depending upon 00:55 where you want it to fall on your 00:56 decollete 00:58 this has a nice little um strap so it's 01:00 bra friendly which i always love 01:02 and then i paired mine for a day of 01:04 running around 01:05 with these great parker a goldy shorts 01:08 let me talk about the parker eagle these 01:10 a little bit they come in a few 01:12 different 01:13 two different lengths there's the parker 01:14 and then there's the parker long 01:16 i love the parker long it's not a 01:18 bermuda but it's just a little bit 01:20 longer than the typical parker short 01:22 still has the same fun distressing on it 01:24 and the pockets and all that 01:27 sometimes at my age i feel like the cut 01:30 off shorts i don't want 01:31 it to look like daisy dookie on me so i 01:34 like it just 01:35 a little bit extra length which this 01:36 parker long gives you but again 01:38 it's not a bermuda length so if you want 01:40 that little in between 01:41 this is the way to go i did the level 99 01:44 utility 01:44 shacket on the top um we talked about 01:47 shackets before 01:48 it's a shirt plus a jacket a shacket 01:51 right so um you can wear it all snapped 01:53 up if you do want to wear it more like a 01:54 shirt or 01:55 unsnap it and i always roll the sleeves 01:57 a little for it's a it's a 01:59 kind of a linen fabrication so it's 02:01 something that you can use now on those 02:02 cooler summer nights 02:04 so during the day when it's 90 plus 02:06 you've got your 02:07 thin little blouse on that really keeps 02:08 you cool and then as the sun goes down 02:11 you can just throw this on the top and 02:12 then of course these fun little vince 02:14 camuto's 02:15 um little strappy sandals um with a 02:18 little just a little of the accent of 02:19 the silver on there and of course with 02:21 silver 02:22 then i lean towards the silver jewelry 02:24 stacking my little bracelets as i always 02:26 do 02:26 and then this fun little necklace which 02:28 i love it has a little tiny pendant on 02:31 it and it says mama 02:32 which i i think is so great my kids call 02:34 me mama so 02:35 anyways that is the first look for 02:37 blouses 02:38 i'll be right back with look number two 02:40 okay we're back with look number two 02:41 with blouses 02:43 and this time last time we were running 02:45 some errands this time we're going back 02:47 to work because i know a lot of you are 02:48 heading back into the office 02:50 and wanting to update your wardrobe so 02:52 that you're on trend with that 02:54 this again is a little allison joy um 02:57 it's a little bit of a v-neck to it 02:59 i love the sleeve on this i really do 03:01 it's it's 03:02 blouses right here and it has a little 03:04 bit of a gathered right here 03:05 again it hides this piece of your arm if 03:08 it's not your favorite piece 03:10 and then um i just love how it just 03:12 drapes down now sometimes 03:14 when i'm doing a lot of tops i'll do 03:16 like the front tuck to me that's a 03:17 little bit more casual look 03:19 so for work i'm just going to leave it 03:21 um just straight 03:22 down and kind of shows off your curve a 03:24 little bit but it's not 03:25 body clinging okay i paired it with 03:28 these great spanx pants they have a fun 03:32 little cargo pocket on the side 03:34 there's a lot of questions sometimes 03:35 when people are doing spanx because of 03:36 course we know that spanx started as 03:38 shapewear right then they then we moved 03:40 into like spanx pants 03:43 i love a spanx pant but a lot of times 03:44 people ask i don't know what size to get 03:46 do i get the same size that i do when 03:48 i'm wearing them a shapewear 03:49 do i go up what are all the things so i 03:52 don't like fighting my pants 03:54 when i get on in the morning i like to 03:56 just have them a nice easy on 03:57 so i actually size up i'm typically a 26 04:00 27 04:01 in denim and i do a medium in the spanx 04:03 pants they're just easy for me to get on 04:05 they do warm up to your body but they're 04:07 not going to stretch out like maybe a 04:09 denim would 04:10 so what you see is what you get when you 04:11 try them on so if you try them on and 04:13 they feel great 04:14 that's what you're taking home i'm going 04:16 to give you permission show off your 04:18 curves okay 04:19 the spanx is going to kind of hold you 04:21 in in the right places 04:22 so it's really going to accentuate the 04:24 parts that you love about your body and 04:26 it's going to hold in the parts that 04:28 maybe aren't your favorites 04:29 and then i paired it with these fun 04:30 little vince camuto slides which i've 04:32 shown you guys before but they are 04:33 really 04:34 a favorite of mine and again they have 04:36 that little gold 04:37 um detailing there so i stayed with a 04:39 heavier gold bracelet 04:41 and then this fun necklace i want you to 04:43 notice the detail on this 04:45 see how there's a little bit of a chain 04:46 that kind of mimics the chain in the 04:48 shoe 04:48 and then there's also like a little it 04:51 goes half and half and then it goes into 04:52 this 04:52 little thicker um gold on the side so 04:56 that's kind of a fun something different 04:57 to do 04:57 and because of the weight because i did 04:59 a heavier bracelet 05:01 have a heavier chain on the shoe and a 05:02 heavier necklace i skipped the earrings 05:04 for work i just thought that this was 05:06 enough to balance out your outfit 05:08 and you're ready to go to work okay so 05:10 that was look number two with blouses 05:12 i'll be right back with look number 05:14 three last but not least i have a habit 05:16 of saving my favorite outfit for 05:18 the last and i don't know why i do that 05:19 but this one is my favorite look 05:21 this is a little blouse by ronan ryan 05:25 that's one of our house brands i want to
