Hi Awesome Ones, you know I'm always looking for different hacks and tips that
can really help you to style your fashions and also in many cases save you some money too.
Now in this video I'm pretty sure that I'm going to show you some tips that
maybe you've never seen before so let's check them out.
First of all are you noticing that a lot of purses and handbags these days have those chain
straps on them? Well if you're like me you've got a lot of different purses that don't have
those chain straps but they do have a clip on. So I decided to start searching for a solution for this
and I found some great looking chain straps at amazon and I want to show you what happens when
I'm wearing just a little black dress and I change the purse strap. Let's take a look.
Here I have a lovely dress and I wanted to add just a splash of color with a nice red
purse but this strap is way too casual for the look. But look as I sort of clip this on here.
What a difference it makes to just change it out to a more trending and elegant gold chain strap.
Now since we're on the subject of chains do you remember how I always talked about those dainty
two-tiered or three-tiered necklaces? Well I bought one of them but I found for the first
tier I guess that my neck was too large. So I found a solution. I found this great chain extender from
Amazon and simply attached it to the first strand and voila! I can now really wear this jewelry
and even use these chains on other necklaces. And by the way those chain extenders
they come in silver and gold styles in different lengths as well. And what I'm going to do is I'm
going to make sure that I have links for them underneath the description of the video and
also in the comments. And I'm going to have some of the other items that I'm showing you here
also there. So let's move on to tip number three. And you know how much I love having a smaller
purse and I've also showed you the trick before on how I'll put a smaller purse into a bigger one.
I do this a lot when I'm...you know changing up to a straw bag I just put the small one inside of it.
But what if I want to change you know the complete look of the small purse. Maybe I'm going from an
elegant little black purse to something else. Well I've got a tip for that. So did you know that there
are purse inserts that come in many sizes and even patterns? Now this is a fossil bag and I love to
wear it but sometimes I want to wear this designer graffiti one you know for one of those fun days.
All I have to do is fill up the purse insert you know with things like my wallet, my
lipstick, my Tide-to-go that sort of thing and drop it from one handbag into another. Easy peasy.
By the way I would love love love for you to subscribe to my channel.
And don't forget to join us in the comments as well we have a great community of women here.
And also don't forget at 8 pm eastern standard time every single Wednesday, I'm live at amazon.com/shop/awesomeover50.
I'm just chatting you know like with my girlfriends and
what we're going to be chatting about are such things such as fashion and self-care and skin care
and even recipes. So next I have a tip for the changing weather and also it's great for traveling.
Now I know some of you might have seen this before in one of my fashion videos but I really think it
deserves repeating. Inside this little pouch and there's tons of other colors by the way
I have a full raincoat for a man or a woman and it has a hood and it has a zipper.
Take a look. So could you imagine if you're at an event or an outdoor concert and there's
a downpour. Well this handy pouch has a full raincoat and while others are running for cover
you're enjoying the rest of the show especially if it's just a sun shower.
And by the way if you're a worrier stay until the end because I have a really awesome tip for you.
All right let's get on to the next item and as most of you know when I order boots I sometimes
order a full size larger if they're really high boots and a half a size larger if they're kind
of ankle boots. I just got in a new pair and I find even though I sized up they're a little bit
big in the heel but they're perfect for the toes and everything. So let's take a look
at my solution. Now since these boots they fit perfectly except for the back around the heel
I'm going to put a couple of band-aids that are this size right around the heel part.
Now there are also heel inserts that you could buy but they're a lot more expensive
and there are also commercial products for high heel shoes you know for cushioning the ball of the
foot like these ones and even corn cushions for those painful things that I just
inherited. And by the way if you're shopping online this little gizmo is your friend.
Most every outfit that I buy comes with a size chart and if you're a little bigger you know
around the girls a lot of times I really really suggest that you do all of your measurements.
Because sometimes in tops and dresses I'm a medium other times I'm an extra large. And you know what?
I'm willing to buy their version of an extra large so that I can enjoy the item and not have to send
it back. So one thing I do when I see a trend like those chain purse straps is I really try to
figure out you know what I can do to my existing purses to make them kind of fit into the style
and I also like to look at something like hey these boots are too big how can I fix
them without sending them back or this necklace is too small. I sound like Goldilocks here but anyway
and I really love putting my thinking cap on for you and I want to bring you lots more
of these videos. I also would like to know which one of the different items that I showed
you was your favorite. So let me know in the comments. Now for all the worriers out there
how many times have you turned your car around because you thought oh my gosh I forgot to turn
off the oven or did I turn off that curling iron especially when you're going traveling.
Well I have a solution for you and all you have to do is just take your cell phone and take
a few pictures maybe of the curling iron you know maybe of the front door to make sure that
you locked it and then when you're driving away you're going to feel really really comfortable.
For me in the winter time we have a space heater in our bedroom. The heat just doesn't seem
to rise there that well and it's a really good idea for me to take a picture of it so that I
could just be reminded that I don't have to worry. So when I think about these tips and these hacks
I think about the old days when somebody you know they invented the washing machine
or somebody else invented the automatic dishwasher. Did you know that that was invented by a woman.
Awesome right? What I'm trying to do here is I'm just trying to find ways you know to
maybe help you save time or maybe help you rework items that are already in your wardrobe
or maybe help to upgrade to another trending style and it's always my my thought process here
to help make your life a little bit easier and of course keep it awesome.
