Hi awesome ones. All right so let's face it sometimes we get into a fashion rut and we wear
the same clothes month after month even sometimes year after year. So what I'm here to show you is
how to take clothing from outdated to outstanding. So let's start with those old jogger pants you
know the pants that we wore like for the last three years. Well I really want to bring it up a
notch and actually in the after shot of this which I'm going to model for you, I have three updating
tips. So let's take a look. So here I have a pair of comfy joggers that are really really kind of tight
at the ankles and I also added my big athletic sneakers that many of us thought were great for
the everyday in the past few years right? The t-shirt is loosely fit and it's also big and
bulky. Well it's time to ditch that outdated look and go for this great look that'll look much more
slimming on me with these Skechers Go Walk pants. And they're available for around $47. It's got more
of a boot cut than a cuff and these breathe easy black sneakers with the elastic laces are around
sixty one dollars they are the newest style and a lot lighter to walk in than those old clunky
leather athletic shoes. I also just styled the T-shirt a little bit to look less like I'm still
in a rut. And as usual I have many of the fashion styles for you underneath the video description
and also in the comments. Alright let's get to the next outfit and it's not only outdated it's
also kind of matronly and with it I'm going to show three more tips for you. Let's take a look. I
have this lovely white jacket and the polka dotted skirt which are great alone but with this outfit
the pairing of the two it just kind of looks outdated and as I said before matronly. The other
outdated thing that I did was to match a big hobo bag that again is just adding to this oversized
look and the whole idea of the matchy-matchy look with the handbag and the shoes well that's
just not a thing anymore. So let's see how I went from this outfit and brought it from drab to fab.
I've changed out the long skirt with a pair of ankle pants that are super stretchy by Rekucci and
they're available for around fifty dollars and instead of the flats these loafers are trendy,
modern and just as comfortable and they are round fifty dollars as well. Now instead of a
big purse I've opted for this smaller one and it's in red just to add a little something something to
the outfit and it's around thirty dollars. Instead of leaving the black top out I gave it a front
tuck and added a comfy stretchy skinny belt and you can get three of these in three different
colors for around fourteen dollars. And by the way this fabulous white blazer is from The Drop
and around 75 dollars. Now you might be thinking to yourself hey she's really showing a lot of
black tops, black pants that sort of thing. Well there's a good reason for that and that's because
a lot of times when we're in a rut we tend to go and you know grab those colored items and what
I'm saying here is let's take something that's outdated and change it up and that's what I'm
going to show you in the next outfit and with it I've got two more tips for you. I bought this top
as designer piece and therefore of course I wanted to get a lot of use out of it. Do you do that too?
Well every time I wore it I knew that it looked outdated and frumpy. I tucked it into an elastic
waist and if you're still doing this chances are you've just added a touch of frumpiness.
I thought I would change out this top with this trendy and lovely lacy top and it's only
around $18. Now instead of tucking the top in I'm letting it go over the skirt and by the way
this lacy skirt with an elastic waistband is only 32 dollars. I topped off the look with a pair of
ankle boots that I've had in my closet for a while and I've got a much more updated look and vibe.

know a lot of you don't want to get rid of and that is the jeggings. Well let's get you into a
pair of jeans that are so comfortable updated and really they're just not tight and I don't know you
can't even sit in those jeggings sometimes. So let's take a look and see what I mean. So here
they are and I know even when they had stretch in them a lot of times I just didn't want to sit down.
All right I paired this look with an outdated heavy leather jacket which is another one of
those items where you paid a lot of money for it so you want to keep wearing it. But instead
I finally changed my jeans for these amazing NYDJ jeans that stand for, Not Your Daughter's Jeans.
They are stretchy and they're made for a mature woman. The waist design holds in the tummy and
this is called the Sheri Slim style. I also took it in the darker wash which is slimming as well
and the color is Habana and they're available for around a hundred dollars. I swapped out the heavy
jacket for this awesome lightweight faux leather one and it really truly looks and feels like real
leather. It's available in 12 different colors and sells for around $57. I even added some color yay
with this great striped shirt for around thirty dollars. Now let's talk sandals for a minute.
You know what? I get it. A lot of women have, you know, arch support problems and foot problems
but if you're one of those women who are kind of like in a buying rut where you just
keep buying every summer you know you wear out one style and you wear the same style over and
over again year after year the foot manufacture the Footwear manufacturers I should say they've
really come a long way in some of the Styles. I mean they don't look outdated they don't look
frumpy, they look absolutely fabulous. So let me show you what I mean. Here I have those older
looking design sandals with my lovely long blue summer dress but somehow the look changes when
you look at the feet and and to something maybe more outdated and frumpy. In the next look though
I've styled the dress with a pair of leopard printed Crocs and they're available for around
$19 and the look now seems more updated and it's got more of an easy breezy summer vibe. And by the
way the straw hat that I'm wearing is available for around $28 and that dress is only 43 dollars.
Now here's a closer look at those Crocs that I was talking about and you can see that they are
made with a little bit of arch support. Now I do understand that maybe this isn't going to solve
your problem. You need a much better shoe but I really encourage you to go online or maybe go
to a neighborhood store that specializes in in shoes that really really help the foot ailments
and I'm sure you're going to be just delighted to find some new styles. Now as I mentioned at the
beginning of this video you know I'm not trying to criticize all I'm trying to do is show you
some updated ideas for some outdated looks and hey I was wearing those looks a lot myself and being
in a rut is one thing but if what you're doing is you're just saying you know what, I'm passed
by Prime, I don't care what I wear anymore, then I just gotta tell you that there's something that
happens there's something that happens when you put on a lacy top or maybe a moto jacket or
maybe some made for you kind of jeans. You know you get your groove back and I don't know about
you but I was watching Michelle yo when she got her Oscar. I mean her speech what she said in
her speech it actually brought tears to my eyes because what she said was, "don't let anybody tell
you that you're past your prime." It just kind of got to me and and more and more I'm seeing
women you know in their 60s 70s 80s even in their 90s as celebrities and they're really they're kind
showing us the way. And you know a long time ago well maybe not that long ago men who got older
they were distinguished right and we just kind of got old and now we can tap into this energy.
You know this energy that mature women are really happening and why not, why not go ahead
and step out on the carpet and it doesn't have to be red. Let's show the world that
you know we can still rock this world and it's just one more way that we can keep it awesome.
