Hi awesome ones, all right so I have to admit that summertime...
putting outfits together that are a little bit more classy a little bit more Chic it's a little
harder to do. So I thought I would do this video on 12 tips for you showing kind of befores and of
course the afters for you and of course this is just my opinion you can wear whatever you
want. But if you want a kind of polished and Chic look this video is for you. Now for my first tip
let's talk about kind of an unmentionable thing and that's when you wear sleeveless dresses and
you've got a bra on and you get that kind of underarm bulge. Do you know what I mean? And a
little bit in the back. Well let's take a look at what I mean and how we can kind of smooth this out.
So here I found an older dress of mine and notice how unattractive my underarms and back look with
a regular bra. But I found a new bra from Warner's that is specially created to smooth out the look of
the side and back bulges that hey many of us have. And as usual I'll have most of the fashion pieces
that I'm showing including those bras underneath the video description and also in the comments. And
if you want to see all my faves for summer just go to amazon.com/shop/awesomeover50 and
scroll down to all the various fashion sections. And you always pay the same as Amazon usually
charges. And just a reminder use the size chart to figure out your bra size for that for those bras
that I just showed you. Alright so let's go on to the next item and did you know that they now say that
wearing white sneakers with a dress especially a summer dress is classy and Chic? I'm so
happy to hear that. So there you go. But the question is which sneakers? Now I would suggest
that you get yourself a pair of leather sneakers. These are my Keds. I absolutely love them because
when they get dirty I just wipe them off. Try to avoid the canvas ones. Look at the difference
between these two. Also now that they...like these are white canvas so at least they used to be
white canvas and also stay away from the white mesh as well. My daughter just bought a pair of
those and they didn't last long at all. They got pretty dirty so for me this is the choice. Next
for tip number three let's stay on the Footwear selections. You know those old cheap flip-flops
that you buy sometimes even at the dollar store they are just not classy and also they're really
not if you know if you're a more mature woman they're really not great for arch support either.
So let me show you my two favorite flip-flops. Here I have my two favorites and they're by Crocs. They
are stylish and look at the tread the inside Sole and the cushioned heel. They also have a great arch
support for you. I got the beige pair and also the animal print to add the wow factor to an outfit.
Now many of you are probably wondering are animal prints still classy and I say yes as long as you
wear them right. I would really suggest that you wear them in moderation certainly not every
day and also I would probably just put the animal print top and then white pants and and those Crocs
leopard shoes on but not a lot more let me just show you what I mean. Here I have two examples. The
first look is really over the top with an animal print jacket the skirt and the shoes. Well we look
much classier when the prints are more subtle and a lot less of them as in the next outfit.
Okay so let's talk about those fanny packs. They're back and a lot of women younger women are wearing
them. But I'm going to suggest you know unless you're super thin wearing a fanny pack is going
to look it's going to make you look older and it's just not classy. It's better to wear one of
these go belts you know or a belt like this that hides underneath your clothes and I'll show you
what I mean with tip number five. So here I have the old fanny pack you know it never really was
attractive to wear and it's definitely not classy. Better to wear a money belt or a Go Belt under
your top like this one. And if you're traveling you know it's really a great thing to have.
Maybe even for every day a crossbody purse is much classier like this great one by Michael Kors.
And if you like videos like this one I would love love love for use to subscribe there's a button down there
somewhere and don't forget to click on the bell. And also are you following me on Instagram? Well
all you have to do is look up instagram.com/awesomeover50 and I post there almost every
day. Okay so what's next? Oh yeah, now I know I've already talked about this before but
it's so important so for tip number six it's the kind of undies that you wear under white
or light colored pants or skirts. Let's take a look. Stay away from those hip hugging panties
and the low-rise panties or ones that are not your skin tone especially if you're wearing white pants.
And also make sure that the white pants are not see-through that's certainly not classy.
Here's a reminder of the kind that I like to wear and they're by Jockey. Super stretchy high
rise and they come in three different colors and they're about eighteen dollars. Now this is my skin
tone so this is what I would wear with white pants but I certainly wouldn't wear the white ones with
white pants. With these ones and the ones behind them I usually wear those with blue jeans or anything
with a thicker material. Okay for tip number seven get yourself a steamer like this one. This one
is only about thirty dollars and hey we don't want to be dragging out the ironing board all
summer long and the thing about this steamer is you can take it traveling it's small enough to
take it traveling. It's ready in seconds and let's face it in the summertime we are wearing a lot of
cotton and if you're doing that steaming them will help you to look a little more classier. Next let's
talk about a few accessories for tip number eight. I've gotta talk about sunglasses because when you
wear sunglasses it really kind of steps up your look and helps you to look a little bit more
Chic. So let's take a look at my two favorites this year. The large Gucci style sunglasses are
really trending this summer and if you want that look at a bargain price these are available for
around sixteen dollars. And if you want the classic real Wayfarer look from Ray-Ban these clever fold
up ones are available for around 213 dollars and they're polarized too. For tips nine and ten let's
talk about jewelry and I will let you know that really the simpler look of jewelry is still really
a classic look. So in the next clip I'm going to show you close-ups of my favorite jewelry. So the
classic chain necklace is still trending and you can wear it with a casual Chic look or a fancy
dress. This necklace is 14 karat gold plated and available for about 18 dollars. Now these dainty
gold hoop earrings also add a touch of class and as I mentioned before they have the handy back
clasp so you can really take them on and off easily. These earrings are also around $16 and they're also
14 karat gold plated. For tip number 11 let's talk about frizzy hair. Today it is so muggy and
of course I'm underneath all these hot lights and I really think it's important especially in the
summer unless you want to hide under a hat all day to kind of de-frizz your hair. I've got some
really great products for that by John Frieda. Now what I'm going to do for you at the end of
this video after I give my kind of inspirational message I will have a link to one of the videos
that I did on How to de-frizz your hair and here I have a before photo of my frizzy hair and then an
after photo after I've really put on some products and stopped the frizz and all the flyaways.
I also love to use the Davines products. It's like a natural product for you and that's what
I use for my shampoo and my conditioner. All right my next tip Stand Tall! Stand Proud! You
know I see a lot of women out there in their 80s in their 90s they're not slinking away. They're not
becoming invisible and I think it's so important. And somehow you know when you put on a little bit
of earrings and necklace and even maybe a little bit of makeup you just feel so good
and and you do look classy and Chic. And if you're wondering to yourself okay so where do I get these
outfits and how do I put together outfits? I've got a lot of videos and just make sure that you
check them out and maybe even take screenshots or shots with your camera so that you have references.
Hey we're all on this aging journey together and instead of just aging let's put on a great
outfit. Let's instead of slinking away and becoming invisible let's really stand proud of ourselves
and age with a little bit of attitude and for me that's just one more way to keep it awesome.
