Hey awesome ones. Well if you're like me
you've got lots of clothes, but well at
one time anyway I couldn't figure out
what the heck to do with them all. You
know, I still wake up in the mornings and
go.... oh how am I gonna sort out
something to wear and I figured out five
different ways and its working for me
now and I'm going to share it with you
in just a few seconds.
Now the first way that you can always
have clothes pretty well ready to go is
put a monochromatic kind of look
underneath. You can see here I've
just got the whole black on........black is
very slendering as well.
I'm going to pair that.....I'm going to
just do a few different looks here. I
have a blue jacket, you can see how that
looks and let's change it up, it's still
the same underneath and we can change
that up for a vest. I've got a gray vest
here and you can see that changes up and
don't forget about the jewelry too.....the
jewelry really makes it and then for the
last one I went more for really a jacket
kind of look with this particular look
now remember - with the black underneath
that you could change it up into you
know maybe capris or a skirt or
something like that. Nnow let's go for the
next look. Let's go to a completely white
underneath here and again I've got the
shorter pants on because the shorter
pants are kind of really in style right
now and we can work with this with, you
know maybe a little bit of a black
jacket over top. That really kind of
classy black-and-white look and again
I'm just going to do a very light
flowing kind of jacket or cardigan I
guess you can call it, to work in the
summer months. So there you go and don't
forget shoes and also jewelry really
help you. So if you've got those basics
underneath you need a few jackets maybe
some sweaters maybe a cardigan or two
you got it going on. So my number two tip
is to put stickies on some of your
hangers.
Now you don't need to do this for every
single outfit, but this is just um
actually two post-it notes put together
and then I tape them together and then I
put a hole punch on them. Sometimes I
buy clothing and I'm thinking well like
I want to buy that, but I'm definitely
gonna have to wear a camisole underneath
it. So for those kind of outfits, I've got
like here's one right now and I'll show
that to the side right now. I said here
wear a nude bra and you have to wear a
beige camisole because this is
see-through. I remember one time I ran
out and I forgot the camisole and thank
God I remember the bra, but yeah you
don't want to do that. And then for the
next outfit I have here royal blue short
sleeve top, white pants or white capris,
silver black and blue necklace, big
silver bangle, big silver earrings, black
sandals or blue and white pumps. Gzee I
really had this one going on, with this
one. So again I put the whole outfit
together on this, because I actually....you
know what, I actually don't wear that
outfit very much and I think I'm going
to start wearing it. Anyway I don't think
I've ever worn the the top in a video
yet. Alright and then I got this purple
top and I remember buying this and
thinking love this. I love this but
without a camisole underneath forget
about it, it kept sliding off my
shoulders, also without one of those
strapless bras it looked ridiculous. So
here I have thin black cami under black
thin stretch pants, no strap bra,
silver necklace, circle drop earrings, big
silver bangle, hair up in an elastic and
messy. Alright so there you go. So as
again I said these do not go on every
single one of my clothing pieces, but if
I really see
them, I know okay, this is cami time. Now
the mother of all organization has to be
these little photo books that I put
together and I actually did a video
about organizing your wardrobe. I'll put
the link up there somewhere for you, but
I find these fabulous. So all I do is....you
know, I'll play some music or something,
take an afternoon, maybe even into an
evening and I start trying on all these
clothes. Now if you look at the pictures,
all I've done is I've taken a selfie
here of myself in the mirror and then
it's on my phone. And then what I do is I
send it to me in an email and then I
take that photo and put it on a Word
document.
Sounds really complicated, but really
it's pretty easy. I do a lot of the
writing and everything myself, so I don't
even have to get involved in the word
document too much. It's just basically
spacing two pictures on a page and then
of course I put these into summer and
spring outfits. Let me just show you a
little bit here. So summer and spring
outfits I've got. You know a nice little
black and white kind of look here, some
color, some with capri you know, so I've
got it, I could just look at this.... some
are no sleeves, short sleeves and I just
take a look at this.....
I've even got my shoes in the
pictures and say.... oh you know what, I can
wear that one today and here's a little
glimpse at fall. I have to update this a
little bit, but you know jean jackets and
stretchy pants and vests and all types
of things that I can wear.....
Leopard look scarves, sweaters, jackets the
whole thing and I put them all together
there. So that really really helps. So I
really suggest to take a look at that
video too, because there's lots of things
on it about sorting the
clothes in....maybe in colors in your
wardrobe or finding maybe if something
that you just love like a certain kind
of v-neck sweater it fits you perfectly,
buy it in a few colours
so you can mix and match, but this idea I
love it, love it, love love. Oh and by the
way I do these beauty and fashion videos
every Friday and some lifestyle, food,
exercise those kind of ones on Tuesday.

everybody wants to jazz up their
wardrobe a little bit. So I kind of look
at what trends are going on and what I
generally do is I just go to the mall
look at the windows, maybe go to a few
boutique shops in my area and say oh wow
you know pink is really trending. So you
can see in this particular video or
video of a shot that I have right here,
that I'm wearing a pink jacket. So I
purchased that pink jacket and it really
helped to work with my wardrobe and jazz
a lot of things up. I could wear that
with pants or a skirt or jeans and it's
it's really fantastic.
Maybe you're just going to go and you
want a kind of a....Parisian look. Oh by
the way I did a video on the Parisian
kind of look. It's a very classic kind of
look and I'll put a link for that up
there as well. And hey maybe all you need
is a striped top and so I'm just showing
this kind of striped top with the black
jacket and the pants and of course the
ballet shoes. They really kind of made
that look put together as well, along
with a little purse there. So you might
want to go out and get something like a
jean jacket. Jean jackets are really
popular and you're kind of looking at
your little jean jacket on and hey you know
it's not looking all that great. So here
I am in a jean jacket and boy I get a
lot of mileage out of that jean jacket. I
wear with dresses and pants and skirts
all kinds of things. So yeah, just go to
the mall or
Boutique shop, pick yourself something up
that really kind of works with what
you're looking to do and jazz up the
wardrobe a little bit per season. It's
kind of exciting in it and just adds a
bit more variety. Oh and by the way I
will really try hard to find some of the
outfit that I'm showing in this
particular video. I can't always get the
exact one but I'll try um, also Amazon
accepted us to have a storefront. So
you'll see that in the description as
well and basically I've got the makeup I
love the hair care I love some of the
other fashions that I love even Bill's
fashions and the dog things. So you make
sure you check that out. it's amazon.com/shop/awesomeover50
So you'll
see it in the description and we'll also
have it in the blog and oh I've got to tell
you this.....we make a little bit of Commission,
you don't pay more for the item, but we
make a little bit of commission and you
guys are rocking this for us. Thank you
so much, you not only buy the the shirt
but you also buy your grocery things too and you
know what, it's really helping ,so thank
you so much for doing that we appreciate it.
So last but not least, have a few go-to
fun items or the authentic you type of
items and yes I did a video on being
your authentic self and clothing and I'm
gonna put that up there.... because
sometimes we lose that....you know like
let's just say that you're a realtor and
you wear your black jacket and you're
you know or whatever you just really
have to look professional when you go up
to those listings. So you wear that kind
of outfit and you kind of lost the fun part
in your life or let's say that you're a
nurse and you really do wear a uniform
and that's your kind of uniform that you
wear to work and maybe you've lost the
authentic self, maybe....maybe you like
jackets with fringes on them or
something like that or.....well you know
what, I'm going to show you just a few of
them.
So ya know I'm a crazy....oh if you don't know
it.... you know it now.
I found this top and I just said oh my
gosh, I have places I want to wear that
crazy yorky top. So I got it and in the
next outfit I'm.....yes I'm a child of the
60s you know, peace and harmony and love
and all that kind of thing. So when
fringe jackets came into trending, I
decided to buy one and you know what. I
still wear it now because I absolutely
love it. It's so me. It reminds me of a....I
don't know, a more peaceful kind of time
and that's why I love to wear it. Also I
just went to an Eagle's concert
and I picked up this hoodie and yes
women over 50 can wear hoodies and check
out the back of it. Life in the fast lane!
So I just saw it.....it spoke to me and
that's what happens these kind of
outfits speak to you. And here's
another one that I want to show you and
this is my sexy dress and as you
probably know I'm over 60. And I don't
call myself 60 anymore, I call myself
sexy and I think that we've got to get our
groove back and with this particular
dress you know what, I put these clothes
on whether they're fun or nostalgic or
sexy like this one and I say to myself
I'm gonna walk out the door I'm gonna
own this look I really am going to own
this look and with that mindset I not
only own it I rock it! So there you have
it. If you follow these five tips you're
probably going to rarely wake up in the
morning and say I have nothing to wear.
And a little guy here....just gonna give
him a little treat right now. He's been
sitting here patiently, but he never has
to worry about something to wear, do you.

Hurricane, you usually see him
our videos, we call him the cuteness
factor and he shows up in the beauty and
the lifestyles and the food and the
exercise, you show up in almost every
video don't you. So and the other thing I
wanted to mention to you and I rarely do
this ask, but once in a while I'm going to....
