00:03 [Music] 00:09 good morning everyone 00:10 it's sharla i'm on my own today because 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
