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 so fun so
