00:03 [Music] 00:08 [Applause] 00:09 hey everyone great 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 00:14 who wants to dress fabulous for the 00:16 holidays i've got you girl i'm going to 00:19 meet you right where you're at and we're 00:20 going to get you through those fun days 00:22 ahead that are just screaming holiday 00:24 okay here we go 00:26 look number one first of all this is so 00:30 holiday this is this complete set this 00:33 complete little outfit here that we have 00:34 going on i would wear to a christmas 00:37 concert i would wear to a candlelight 00:39 service something that's maybe a little 00:42 more elevated um that you're going to 00:43 want to just look fantastic for okay 00:46 especially starting off with this blouse 00:49 this blouse is by ronan ryan which is 00:50 one of our house brands um she's got a 00:52 little shimmer she's got a little shine 00:54 she's ready for the holidays 00:56 now some of you might be looking at this 00:58 thinking that's a little glitzy for me i 01:00 don't know if i could wear that at my 01:02 age you know i'm well over 50 i don't 01:05 know that's a little little daring for 01:07 me i'm gonna tell you why you can wear 01:09 that um okay 01:11 she has a liner in here so even though 01:14 it looks like it's got some sheer fabric 01:15 here you still have the coverage 01:18 underneath on the places that you want 01:19 to have it okay so that will keep it 01:22 just where you want it to be um and then 01:24 it also has a little collar here that 01:26 has some ruching on the top now i like 01:29 to wear it just open with a little 01:30 button undone but for those of you that 01:32 feel like you're a little more 01:34 conservative or at your age like i don't 01:36 know if i want that deep v on my 01:38 decollete you can use the button right 01:41 here and it still has a very elevated 01:43 holiday look or even if you just the 01:45 event that you're going to is more a 01:47 little more conservative you could do 01:48 that too and then um it's got a little 01:51 bit of a 01:52 blouse obviously like a little blouse um 01:55 movement here too with the arm because 01:57 of this little banding here around your 01:59 wrist it really gives you some movement 02:02 um as you're moving and talking and all 02:03 the things it also gives you 02:05 some of us at a certain age we don't 02:08 love our arms or the the shape of our 02:10 arms so this gives you coverage here and 02:13 the blouse isn't so tight around that um 02:16 upper arm of yours and it really gives 02:18 it a thinner look okay 02:20 um i front tucked mine with these um 02:23 amazing ever eve pants these are a wide 02:25 leg pant we're gonna get to the pant in 02:27 just a second but i did a little front 02:29 tuck on mine when i styled it that just 02:31 feels right to me it's comfortable for 02:33 me again if you're a little bit 02:35 more conservative or this feels too 02:37 fussy for you in the front you can wear 02:40 the blouse out and it has a little bit 02:42 of a kick right here i like to style it 02:45 um in because for me i feel like it 02:47 creates a little bit of a shape it 02:48 accentuates my waist a little more 02:51 rather than just having it go straight 02:53 down okay 02:54 all right onto the pants i promised you 02:56 um these are so fun these are an every 02:59 again by ever eve that's our house brand 03:01 um and it has a wider leg on it okay now 03:04 i'm five nine so you can see where it 03:06 kind of hits above my ankle 03:08 um 03:09 the little the little kick flare i think 03:11 sometimes people get nervous about we're 03:12 used to wearing our skinny jeans all the 03:14 time um or our straight leg um denim 03:18 this pant has again that little wider 03:20 leg why do i like that um i like it 03:23 because it shows my my ankle and my 03:25 ankles are the smallest part of my leg 03:28 and again creating some shape so i have 03:30 a smaller waist here comes out and then 03:33 it flares a little bit here and then it 03:35 shows off my shoulder or excuse me my 03:36 thinner ankle so it gives you again a 03:39 little bit of a shape and is quite 03:40 forgiving for those of us that at our 03:42 age aren't really crazy about our legs 03:45 but i think that it just really elevates 03:46 the whole thing then um i topped it off 03:49 with these great shoes from vince camuto 03:52 they are a beautiful brown suede and it 03:54 has a black heel now 03:57 again at our age some of us are get a 03:59 little bit nervous especially if you 04:00 live somewhere where the sidewalks get a 04:02 little bit slippery or we're nervous 04:04 about wearing those stiletto heels out 04:07 and about this little block heel um 04:09 gives you some more um 04:11 substance on the bottom and more 04:13 stability is like i guess what i should 04:14 say more stability um for as you're 04:16 walking in and out to and from your car 04:18 to your events okay 04:20 um because there's the the attraction 04:23 here is really the blouse which i love 04:25 um i just kept it very simple with a 04:27 hoop earring um and i'm just ready to go 04:29 off to my holiday thing okay i'm back 04:32 with look number two and this one is 04:34 going to meet you and your friends as 04:36 you go out for holiday cocktails on a 04:39 girls night okay how great is this this 04:42 long duster by baby dakota it's got your 04:44 fun sequins it's catching the light it 04:47 says holiday from top to bottom right i 04:50 layered this just with a little cami 04:52 that's got some lace on it you guys have 04:53 seen me wear these camis before to me i 04:55 love them because they have an 04:56 adjustable strap so depending upon at my 04:58 age how i want to wear it if i went a 05:00 little higher on my decollete 05:02 you can adjust that to that and then i 05:04 paired it with these great skinny jeans 05:08 they have some distressing on the bottom 05:09 with cute which keeps you really on 05:11 trend i think sometimes at our age we 05:13 feel like we need to have a finished 05:14 bottom um and in reality you don't just 05:18 wear it with confidence these fun little 05:19 it adds some detail and it also draws 05:22 the eye down from top to bottom with 05:24 your entire outfit and then look at 05:26 these little kicks i got on how cute are 05:28 they a little red suede heel little 05:30 stiletto heel again perfect for a girls 05:33 night out these are actually very 05:35 comfortable i think sometimes stilettos 05:37 i feel unstable in or sometimes at my 05:40 age too i feel like oh is it looking a 05:41 little youthful this actually 05:43 meets me right where i'm at i love them 05:45 and they're very comfortable okay 05:47 um and then i topped it off with a fun 05:50 little necklace here just add a little 05:52 shimmer a little shimmer in my earring 05:54 as well and i am good to go feeling 05:56 really confident for a fun girls night 05:58 out one more detail that i wanted to 06:00 share with this little beauty dakota 06:02 duster there's a drawstring inside so if 06:05 you want to make it a little bit tighter 06:07 it'll really create a shape for you 06:09 um and really accentuate your waist 06:11 which is the smallest part of your body 06:13 or if you feel more comfortable and you 06:15 want it just to hang straight you can 06:16 loosen the little ties on the inside but 06:19 this fun little shimmer is really going 06:21 to be the highlight of your holiday with 06:23 your girls 06:24 okay back with look number three 06:27 this is the perfect outfit for family 06:29 families coming over and you are baking 06:31
