Hi awesome ones, well as most of you know my goal here is really to help you feel and look great at
any age. But it's no secret that over the last few years a lot of us got into a styling rut. So you
might be asking yourself a question and that's what kind of styling mistakes am I going to
make this summer? Well I got the answers for you and I have this video on 10 styling mistakes
for you and I'll show a before a picture and then I'll show an after picture where you're going to
look a little more modern, a little bit more fresh and a little more fabulous. So let's get right into
this video starting with tip number one, two, three and four. Now I actually wore an outfit like this
about five years ago for a video and I could have kept wearing it but I started to notice that today
it has a few fashion mistakes in it. It's actually making me look a little more frumpy, a little bit
more older. And starting with the Capri style leggings that I chose to wear under a long
tunic. Now capris might be a summer choice where you live but I want to point out how these cut me
off at the heaviest part of my calves and therefore they kind of throw the look off.
The oversized tunic that I would wear to hide my weight gain also is making me look at least
two sizes larger than I actually am. I also put on my new Adidas Stan Smith sneakers and even though
they're trending they give my feet a heavier look. Also these leggings they're tight and they're also
see-through. Let's fix this. So here I've changed up the look. Let's start with those two tight
Capri style see-through pants. Tip number one is I change them for my newest white jeans that I
just roiled up. They are in a breathable 98 cotton and two percent spandex. The rolled up bottoms are
great to wear with my comfy new Crocs instead of the clunkier sneakers as tip number two.
For tip number three I ditched the oversized top and gave myself some shape by wearing a
lightweight Cami with a stretchy belt over top. For tip number four I do want to hide
my arms a bit and I need something light and flowy and this lightweight 100 cotton
denim look shirt adds just the covering I need without me looking two sizes larger.
And don't forget to add a great accessory like these aviator sunglasses.
I'll have most of the after-fashions that I modeled underneath the video description and
also in the comments and that's also going to include those Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. And they're
available for like only 48 dollars. All right so let's take a look at another look with styling
mistakes and the tips to make the look better. This will have tips number five, six and seven. Let's
take a look. So here I have one of my favorite summer dresses with my black pumps and like many
of us we often think that our black pumps they go with anything. But mistake number five is wearing
them in the summer with a dress like this and also the old match the big black purse with the
shoes is another summer No-No at mistake number six. Another thing we can change is how a lot of
us will be buttoning up every button on a dress and also putting those self belts out in front
with a big bow would be mistake number seven. Let's see how I can make this plain dress more fabulous.
So here we have the same dress but for summer let's change out those clunky shoes for a pair
of strappy sandals, a straw bag doesn't weigh down the look like that big black bag did and
to give my look a bit of shape I tied the belt at the back. And since this is summer let's show
a little skin by unbuttoning a top button or two and if you're nervous about that just put a cami
underneath. And also let's button maybe two or three of the buttons at the bottom and even if
you don't like your legs this gives a very subtle glimpse. And for the accessories a Panama Hat and
these fun retro sunglasses they really round out this outfit. This look is perfect for a day when
the temperature is like 105 degrees but you want to look cool. If you enjoy videos like this
made by a woman who's not in her 20s, I would love love love for you to subscribe and join
our community here. I think there's a button down there somewhere and also don't forget to click
on the bell. Also did you know that at the end of every one of my videos I usually have a little bit
of an inspirational message because hey we're all on this aging journey together right and I really
want you to embrace this chapter of your life. All right so where were we...we were oh yes for the next
before-outfit I put together something you know with a little jacket or a Blazer where you've
been invited to an event and it might be a little chilly so you know that air conditioning right.
So anyway let's take a look at the before picture. Here I have created a summer pantsuit look but
mistake number eight is the all white look with Blazer and pants. This is so say a very sterile
look. Mistake number nine are the pants. This blazer with oversized pants on the bottom really makes me
look much bigger than I actually am. now how about all those summer scarves that we have. My vote is
unless it's cold outside summer is not the time to wear a scarf. Something that you'll actually really
sweat in and it also adds way too much bulk to your look and it even makes your head look bigger.
And if you're wearing this to hide wrinkles on your neck just let that go. People are not
focused on your neck like you are. Let's take a look at something less covered up and oversized.
Let's swap out those black shoes and the black bag. So here we have the same white
Blazer but check out how fresh, stylish and modern I look right now. I'm still wearing the lightweight
white Blazer with the sleeves rolled up but I've opened it up to show a lovely shapely camisole
with a little bit of skin showing and a pair of NYDJ jeans which are a great length and not too
long. The strappy sandals say summer and my newest stretchy belt that goes with the jeans and my new
summer Michael Kors purse finishes off a look that says I'm aging with attitude. And talk about
aging with Attitude, how are you doing these days? You know I know that aging is not for the week
and even me I wake up in the morning and it's like where'd that wrinkle come from where did
that dark spot come from. And of course my tummy. I really try to get the weight off the tummy but hmm.
Thing is that we don't hide ourselves and we certainly don't say no to those invites you
know because we're kind of worried about our body image. It's so so important that you Embrace this
chapter of your life. It's time to remember that all of us including me are on this aging journey
together and you know what? We have a choice we can decide to kind of slink away and become invisible
or we can just step out and age with attitude and for me that's just one more way to keep it awesome.
