Hey awesome ones. Its Heather here and oh my goodness our cocktail parties
Christmas parties maybe galas, get-togethers at friend's house are they
putting you in the kind of....Oh what am I gonna wear frenzy? Well this video is
gonna be for you. I have picked five looks and they're inexpensive and also
you might even have some of them in your wardrobe right now. So it all starts in just a few seconds.
So even as a former 80s model I'm just finding it so challenging these days to
find something classy and elegant because you know I'm a little more
curvier and also I'm over 50 well over 50. And that little black dress or that
little short mini dress just isn't going to cut it anymore. So I've got some looks
here. I picked some looks also that helped me look a little bit thinner and
therefore gives me a bit more confidence. So my number one look....this is really for
you know a more casual kind of look and as you can think this would also work if
you wanted to go to maybe an upscale kind of party because it's got a little
bit of sparklingness in it and as you can see this is a great choice if you
want to wear pants. Not everybody wants to wear a skirt or a dress and yeah you
know they....now one thing I'm going to mention here too is with this top I
really like a look if I'm wearing jeggings like maybe you wanted to go for
are leggings kind of look black leggings. Certainly with that, find a top that's a
little longer and I suggest that you find one that even covers your butt. So
as you can see here I have the red sparkly top and I also have...it's kind of
a faux black snakeskin jacket over top and straight leg pants. I prefer the
straight leg pants to the jeggings or the leggings in this particular one. I
also and maybe Bill can do a close up here....I have on a nice booty. I prefer the
high heel. This also has kind of that fake snakeskin kind of thing going on
with it as well and now if you're the kind of person that says: O.K Heather I can't
wear those high heels. You know maybe a ballet kind of slipper shoe would work
here or maybe a shoe with a kitten heel. So there's a lot going on here. So I'm
just going to keep the jewelry really really simple because I have all this
sparkleeeness....sparkly if this is the word. Oh going on with the...with the top. So there
you go and by the way in case you're wondering the makeup that I'm wearing
right now in this video and also I would definitely wear because this is the kind
of outfit that kind of works from a work day to maybe an evening party, that sort
of thing. So you know I think that what I would probably do is I would want a long
wearing foundation on that and by the way now depending on when you're seeing
this video, next week it will probably be a beauty video and it will be on the
Estee Lauder 24 hour long wearing foundation review .So again depending on
when you're seeing this...that videos coming up. For number two I thought I
would show you an all glammed up kind of dress. Something that you might want to
wear to a gala or something like that. Now yes I could have chosen a very long
dress a formal gown kind of thing, but I kind of like this hem length a little
bit. Now as I said I love this dress but guess what? I bought it actually months
before I wore it for the first time. What I decided to do was I knew I needed a
really nice gala kind of dress and so I shopped on a bargain days like Black
Friday or Cyber Monday which coincidentally is when this video is coming
out right at those bargain days and since Bill and I....Bill we do know that we love
to shop those bargain days. What we did was we worked really really hard and we
created a website called awesomeonlinestores.com and it's actually ..........here I'll
just kind of show you just for a second what it looks like. It's actually a
portal of 30-plus stores that you probably already know that you already
shop at and basically what it is it's just a place where you can really really
quickly at a glance go through the portal right to the actual stores and
get those sales. It's also up 365 days a year for you as well, but I really hope
you enjoy that and there you go. Hey by the way if you're not into online
shopping like Bill and I are....we actually did a video for you and I'm going to put
it up there. You'll want to watch it. It's the ten top tips for online shopping. It
includes duty and shipping and all kinds of stuff. So it's very very concise.
Take a look at that video if you want to do some online shopping. Whether you've
done it all your life or you're a newbie. I think it's going to help you out there.
Okay back to the dress. Yes I got like 70% off
or something on this dress. I love it. It's got some gorgeous beading on it. The
detail are just beautiful. I love the Sheerness. It's...I just love it and the
one thing about wearing a dress like this is a lot of times....yeah I wear it
more than once. And a lot of these get together you know they're really fancy
ones that you go to I'm not seeing necessarily the same people over and
over again so I could definitely wear that dress again. So remember that and in
this particular situation I thought I would pair it with some black hose and
these lovely....they're pumps they're kind of
shiny and black and they got that little gold tinge going on them as well and
this is a great idea you know to wear pumps sometimes especially if you're out
in the cold weather and especially if there's snow or something like that
and you had to park your car like a mile away.
Number three of course is the little black dress. And you know this is a
staple in everyone's wardrobe. And I did do a video on five different ways that
you can wear the same little black dress. I'm going to put the link up there
because it's not just for cocktail parties and formal get-togethers and
that sort of thing. I also want to sort of say here that I don't know, I
kind of don't see it for a wedding. You might want to go for a dress with a
little more color in it like what I'm showing here or or this one of course or
something along those lines, so that you know you up the colour and
definitely if you're going to a wedding don't wear white. Now if it's really
cold outside or maybe you're self-conscious about your arms you know,
sometimes I'm definitely like that, this beautiful lace sweater would really
really work for you. And I know they're kind of hard to find but we found some
at our amazon store front: amazon.com/shop/awesomeover50 for you.
So I really find that this little sweater and it fits in a purse sometimes.
It just rolls up into a little ball. It's really really handy to have. So strappy
sandals are always a nice look. It looks very nice there, but sometimes you know
what? Let's change it up a little bit. Maybe a red pump or maybe a wine colored
pump like what I'm showing here. And hey....do you like my red lipstick? I
got all glammed up for you for this particular video and certainly...oh you
know what? I'm gonna put the link up there for the glam makeup kind of thing
that I did on my face today. And I just...I love this. I've got the red lipstick
going on and even if you have a fairer complexion and you know...your...your pale
or porcelain skin like me. It's so nice to just put that finishing touch on with
the red lipstick baby. So number four is something I just kind of whipped up on
the fly. And as you can see in this particular look um it's really just a
top and a skirt. And of course the magic is in the top. It's...it's a beautiful lace
top. I got it for less than fifty dollars. Guess what? I found some of these
tops and I put them in the link below. And also there at the amazon.com/shop/awesomeover50
store front... that Amazon allowed us to have thanks to
you. All the subscribers. They look at your subscriber count and I just have to
say that we did choose these and they're very very similar to...well actually what
I'm wearing right now. I must say...okay I'm required by law to say this....
that every time that you buy something from our link or also from the Amazon
store or even the awesome online stores, we do get a little bit of a commission
and that support we we truly want to thank you. Even if you're on Amazon and
you're you know...I don't really like those and
you'll go and buy a book. It still helps us because you're probably wondering how
do these guys keep on making videos and that is our main revenue the main
way we can keep on going. So from the bottom of our hearts thank you so much
for helping us out because we've got a lot more videos in this that we want to
continue going with. So this top is just matched with a regular black skirt and
hey most of us all have a black skirt in our wardrobe. So it really does look like
a little black dress here and also sometimes if you just have...just this
going on, you may want to pair it with a kind of fancy purse. Check it out. Take a look at
this purse. It's New York City. NYC and I absolutely love it.
I've just put some simple strappy sandals on and I also have not a lot of
jewelry on as well and here is one of the main things to wear when you're
wearing these beautiful dresses and skirts and all that sort of thing. Don't
forget your shapewear. I'm wearing my shapewear in these videos and let me
just show you a couple of types that I like. I do like....I don't know what you
call these kind of undies and they move up the waist a little bit. I also if I'm
going to be doing a lot of dancing I do like the shapewear with the straps
because I've had the roll down effect happen with just the undies one and it's not a
pretty sight. It's not a pretty feel especially when you're dancing and you
just gained like two more inches around your waist, but those are some other
helpful hints to getting this look together. So are we at number five
already? Wow, hey and by the way if you have an idea maybe of something
you really want to share with our community, we have a great community here,
just put it below in the comments, because you know maybe there's something
that I've missed or there's....you know a little tip that you would like to
interject and certainly share it with all of us and if you are a subscriber of
course thank you so much, but if you're not....hey there's a button down there. Just
click it and don't forget to click the bell and come on down and join us. So the
fifth one here is kind of glamour and elegance by way of a fancy jacket. Now
this one definitely is one that would be very comfortable for a lot of you
especially if you're really really worried about your weight. And as you can
see I have the long skirt. I have a black camisole and really any kind of fancy
jacket would work with this. If I turn around here you'll also see that there's
a little slit up the back. So we've got the little sexy going on with this
particular look and I have just paired it with some very very nice sandals
there. So you know if you are invited to these events and you look at it you go:
"I'm feeling self-conscious about you know my weight or in feeling
self-conscious because I'm older now and that sort of thing'.....NO! Go...go to these events.
You know...really...you've just got to go out there and have some fun and
go. If you have the chance to sit it out or dance....then dance....
and you know what? At a lot of these galas and that sort of thing there is some
dancing. So get up on the floor and have a good time. So there you have it. You
know my old saying that we only have so many summers. Well when I think about it
we only have so many weddings to go to, galas to go to, Christmas parties to go
to, New Year's Parties to go to. Maybe even get-togethers with
some of those friends and with the limited amount, I really really suggest
that you get out there and you just participate and you know when you're
looking at it and it's like...'oh they want me to RSVP'......well I want you to R-E-S-P-E-C-T
So respect yourself. You know don't worry about your budget or the way that you
look or those extra pounds that you put on. Get out there.....
RSVP and have that confidence. So truth be told, I'm a little bit of a dancing fool....
I like to dance when I'm cooking things you know while things are in the oven. I'm
dancing around to some music in the kitchen. And somebody who is usually in
there watching me this crazy woman, he's watching me dance...is our little
Hurricane. Yes Hurricane and we call him the cuteness factor. And he's here just
to...well he's just here to be cute and also to thank all of you. This is our way
