Hey awesome ones who else gets really excited when
something that they've ordered online finally arrives? Well
I know that I do and for a lot of you you're probably ordering maybe
household goods or maybe electronics or even groceries from amazon but
ordering fashion and style well that's a whole
different thing. I've gotta tell you I've been really happy with the fashion
that I've ordered from amazon and i'm going to talk to you
about how i order, you know what i do with returns all that
sort of thing. I can't wait to show this video to you. It
all starts in just a few seconds.
So just before I get started I just want you to know that I paid for
all of these items with my own money and I thought I'd just say that buying
fashion, clothing it took me a while to decide
that you know really are they going to be nice are they going
to fit me? I was really pleasantly surprised.
I'm really happy with I'd say about 99 of all the fashion that I buy and if
there is something that just isn't me and I don't like it, all I
usually have to do is go into the ordering process
and they have a refund section for you and
usually just print up...a lot of times it's postage paid
and Ii guess it maybe depends on the company er on the country rather,
but you know you just kind of save your original packaging,
put it in the packaging, go off to the post office and
you get a credit on your credit card. All right so let's start with the first item
and the first item is this beautiful ...it's it's from Lark & Ro and i'm just
going to show you...me in a photo of this right now.....
and although the dress it kind of looks like it's maybe a
little black dress, it actually is navy and it's so elegant
and you'll notice also that the tag says Lark & Ro
and Lark & Ro is actually an amazon label and I'm very very happy with the
slinky kind of material also the way that it's a wrap around, so
you can make it as big or as small as you want. And the extra ruching around
the tummy you know kind of helps to hide the tummy a little bit.
It's available in all kinds of colors and it's forty
dollars and is also available in all kinds of
sizing. And an important thing to talk about
with the sizing is sometimes i've found that the sizing if
you just go with normal sizing it's a little bit small. So there's
usually a size chart....all you have to do is do a
little bit of measuring and make sure you get the right size. So
the next item i'm wearing it it's a striped top
and it comes in a variety of different colors of course
and it's really kind of a silky material. As you know i kind of like the look
where you tie at the bottom. This is more of a
casual look with the capris but for sure i could wear this stripe
top with a pencil skirt. Imagine a
beautiful navy pencil skirt. It would look
absolutely wonderful and i would just sort of tuck it in
maybe put a belt around it and it's available at $17 so that's a
great price. I do I do really like it. Let's go to the next item and the next
item is this kind of slinky...again
vest. What I love about this vest is well it's different. I mean a lot of
times we'll put on a jacket or maybe we'll put on a blazer but when
you put on a vest it's a really different kind of look.
I love the length of this as well. Can you imagine a really nice scarf as well?
And the thing about that vest is it's available
at $22. No sorry $18.99 I got the prices on the back here.....
and it comes in a variety of colors so it's a really great addition to your
wardrobe. Now let's do something a little bit
different and you've probably seen this before.
It's my boho shirt and here I am in a photo with the boho shirt
and it... you know...can it kind of a casual look
there but the other thing is if you wanted to
wear this with kind of the 70s vibe it
perfectly lends itself to that. And imagine maybe a
a pair of flared blue jeans and a boho hat and you got a really casual kind of
carefree look going. This is available at about 22
dollars. Now the one thing about a lot of these
items... they really have kind of low prices and
I kind of thought that hey low prices equals
not great quality, but I haven't really found that.
You have to remember that amazon doesn't have a big retail store and
retail rent all over the place. It's really just warehouses and of course
for delivery a lot of times you pay for delivery
but remember with prime they've got this one thing called prime...amazon
prime and you can get maybe a discount on your
delivery charges. So there's lots of good things going on with it and
they kind of make the whole shopping experience kind of easy peasy.
So I have to tell you if you're looking for cashmere
or real silk a lot of times they have those and they also have
a lot of designer products at the
higher end prices and I see them in purses and shoes and
all kinds of things. So you're covered there but
sometimes with fashion i just want something
to have fun with I don't want to necessarily dress to impress.
The next item that I have here is a perfect example of that
and that's the animal print skirt. It's very very lightweight and it's not
lined, okay so I will tell you that maybe with a lot of you you'd like to wear....
I don't know...you can't see through it at all
but maybe if it's in the fall you might want to wear a
pair of stockings or something like that. It has an elastic waistband
and it's just so much fun and you know you can't go wrong with animal
prints these days and this is available at $19.99
So let's go on to the next one and as you know
I love skorts and I was so happy to find this skort by Jack Smith
and it's available at $26.99 It has a whole bunch of different colors.
I don't know if you can see the little the little shorts underneath here but
it's got the little shorts. It's a longer length for me as well
which I absolutely love. It has pockets and I like this
and also a drawstring. So I mean even if you
aren't absolutely correct on your sizing you can kind of shape it around with the
drawstring and I absolutely love this and I'm going to get a few more of them
for sure. So the next item that I have is the fun straw
purse and i really really love this. I found this for....what was it...
$19.99 I'm just going to sort of take the
hanger away here and it's got a zipper as I said around the top
and I can fit my small purse...... hey did you see the video that I did on
my small purse? All the things that I can get into my
small purse. Well what I'll do is I'll put the link at the end of this
video for you. And I just popped that small purse
inside there and I've got a terrific kind of fun look.
The tassel actually comes with it and it's lots and
lots of fun, especially for those summer months. So
one of my next great finds is this hoodie and
it covers my butt. It's so terrific and of course
It starts raining when i'm doing my 10,000 steps. I've got a little hood here,
a great big zipper and also pockets you gotta have
pockets. This is available at $31.75 and yeah it's it's also got that
fleece line so it's really really comfy. And talking about 10,000 steps
let's talk about other things that you can get from
amazon including the fitbit that I love that
sort of tracks everything for me.
We have been given a page on Amazon and it's at amazon.com/shop/awesomeover50
and if you're thinking well i really kind of like heather's
makeup where do I get that or maybe you're looking for some of our
favorite housewares items or or maybe kitchen
gadgets and all you have to do is go there scroll
down the page you'll not only find a lot more
fashion that I love but you'll also even find some of my favorite movies. So
that's a great little place to do some shopping right there.
Let's get on to the next item and the next item
is this blanket scarf which actually kind of fits like a poncho.
And you can see here in the photo that
it looks great with a pair of skinny jeans, maybe cowboy boots
and it's a great it's a great addition to your wardrobe.
It's available at around $28 The other thing that I like about a
blanket scarf is I can just throw it in the back of my
car and kind of have it at the ready for any
time that it starts to get a little bit cooler. But if you don't like the Santa
Fe kind of aztec style there's also the very very popular kind
of plaid....... oh that's so soft too. It's
really really soft the plaid blanket scarf and you can see
here that you don't have to use it just on its own.
You can also wear it accessorized with a coat and this one
is about 15 dollars for this blanket scarf. And again
just throw it in the back seat of your car and it'll always be at the ready. So
I talked about movies and fitbits and all other kinds
of things that you can get from amazon, but let's talk about something
completely different in fashion. Oh by the way if you're kind of liking
these videos and you're not a subscriber don't forget to click on the button
below and also there's another button where you can just click on it
and it's a bell actually and you'll be notified when my videos are out. So
come on down join me on this kind of mature woman of a certain age
journey and we'd love to have you with us. What am I
talking about when I said something completely different?
Well how about...I don't know if you can see these,
but some fun socks and these are I love these socks I've got all kinds of
different ones and these are from I think they're
called Good Luck socks that's the brand
and they're they're only about ten dollars and you can get them in
all different kinds of designs. There's
Rosie the Riveter, there are like cute little dog designs and flowers
and all kinds of things. And you know what?
If you're feeling a little down just put on.....I mean how can you be sad when you're
looking at this face all day long....but put on a pair of fun
socks and really help to change up your mood. And
talking about changing up your mood here's another item that I just bought...
absolutely love.... it's a silky robe and it's available.......
it's only $18 but it's
yeah it's not pure silk but it's a kimono style....
it has a little belt here and especially in the warmer months you know when it's
humid I love wearing something that's this cool and it's also kind of cool it
it's kind of sexy and it just makes me feel
tre elegant. And someone else who really helps to boost my mood
is our little Yorkie Hurricane. When Hurricane comes on the.....yes
Hurricane. I know we really boost the mood of a lot of you too
and when Hurricane comes on the scene I'm reminded to talk about
upcoming videos. On this channel I am still trying to find new makeups for you
you know to help maybe make us look about 10 years younger. I'm working on
that and also I'm also working on more
fashion more designs and I've also got some
videos coming up on how to style something like like this
top here you know how I put a little knot at the bottom and I rolled up the
sleeves and you can have the same shirt but you
can get different kinds of styles. Over on our other channel which is
youtube.com/awesomeover50inspiration hey I'm not
doing any traveling right now but we did travel to Paris and we
traveled to London and Niagara Falls. And if you just
want to take a look at some of those videos they are over on that channel. So
head on over and enjoy. We also have some food and backyard fun and all kinds of
different things for you. Hey you know what? These are different
times and I think a lot of us are doing some
resetting. Maybe we're thinking you know I can't go to the mall or I don't feel
like going to the mall all the time and we're switching over to shopping online.
