I'd like to challenge you to walk into a Walmart or Target or Marshalls or TJ Maxx and show us how to put together 2-3 cute, non-frumpy outfits that are affordable and age appropriate because, let's face it, a large portion of Americans shop for clothing at those stores. If anyone can do this it's YOU!

It would be awesome if you could show some longer (bermuda length) shorts & how you would style them. Not all of us can wear shorter shorts. I'm almost 65 and don't feel like the shorter lengths are appropriate, and I also have spider veins I want to hide. That being said, I still want to look current. I'm sure I'm not alone. Thanks! 👍😃

The difference between the diagonal striped top and the horizontal one is amazing

So I’m a mental health therapist who works w teens and they comment positively on my white tennis shoes. TY.

With my foot problems, the shoes ruin my outfits daily but my health is more important.😔

I’ve had bunions since my 20s and have been self conscious my entire life! Finding shoes that are comfortable, cute and that hide those ugly protrusions are a nightmare!

The fact that your are so tiny and petite makes you look 20 years younger than most of us👍🏽 Great tips ❣️

Omg! You are cracking me up. Lol. “ you look like you took a dump in your jeans. “ 😂😂. Have a great week!

Crotch framing tunic!! Omg hilarious!

I am learning so much from you Erin, learning and evolving in 40's ... Wish I knew all this earlier, so simply and beautifully explained... You are a genius ❤️❤️

You put in a lot of work, but it appeared effortless, good work as always!

I almost spit my coffee out.....crotch framing tunic...bam! LOVED IT!

I can identify all the women that shop at Chico's. They all look the same...Boxy not Foxy! 😄 JOKE DISCLAIMER 😳

Wow amazing how even a pair of upgraded shoes makes a difference👍💗

Tell us about that gorgeous emerald green blouse you're wearing!

I think the horizontal stripes look better on you. I think it would look great on me. The diagonal ones would draw attention where I don't want it.

I found your channel a few weeks ago and I absolutely love watching them. You inspired me to purge my wardrobe and I have slowly begun to fill it with your recommended basics. When talking petite I have a issue, Im barely 1.59 cm but weighing a hefty 80 kilos. Im not really round, but quite curvy and have a compact body. Been watching and trying to find if you had tips for my shape specific but no luck. Still grateful for this amazing channel ! love your energy and personal approach

Hi Erin, I agreed with your choices but ‘frumpy Erin’ looked so happy. She was dancing and posing, I hope she didn’t cry when you took away her stripey coat? Lol. Loved it!

Super ideas and suggestions! I agree that horizonal stripes flatter no one....but the capri length comparisons were an eye opener for me. I never thought about the most flattering "length" .... Thank you for your wonderful talent and guidance!!!

In my day we referred to poopie butt as Diaper butt. I love your videos. I started a 2nd career at age 65 working as a photographer in the NM Film industry and I enjoy my life 100%. After 8 surveys and including fractures from L1 to L5, covid and being home so long I was looking homeless, and at 71 that is not a pretty picture, I am still going strong You reminded me of who I am and what I can do when I feel good about myself. Thanks! NOTE to ladies If I can do this at 71 YOU can do this at whatever age you are and all it takes is finding yourself and follow your passion.

Frumptown is just one outfit away for me . I've got a flattering outfit on today but might slide into frump tomorrow . I kinda like that second outfit with the blue striped coat but it is the colour that is appealing to me . Sharkbite tops look especially bad on me - they emphasize the hips too much on a small frame . Amusing and relevant presentation !

I just LOVE your little dances when you're wearing the "before/don't" outfits!! 😁

Oh I so agree with everything you've said. Love "crotch framing tunic," lmao! At least I know I'm doing something right. Thank you! ❤️

Super helpful. And relatable ! Life saver in a sea of confusion. I feel like I’m coming back from the dead and have no idea where to start! The shoes are so helpful. I’m a comfort seeker with a flat foot and weak ankle. So cute shoes are hard to find. Thanks so much

I’m 35 & love your channel and tips, but this 1 specifically I had to share with my mom. She’s turning 60 this year & know she’ll benefit for this one 👏

Hi Erin love your videos I’m currently on a weight loss journey due to menopause blah anyhow could you maybe do a video that has shape wear just maybe what is good to use to smooth you out not trying to look skinny

I love it when you do these videos!! They are the best because you reinforce style, shape and beauty.

I love capris. They look great on me because I have long legs and short torso and they balance my frame really nice!

I loved that horizontally striped 3/4 length blue jacket! I would wear it with a popped collar, slim dark jeans and platform dark shoes (+hat, always!). A waist-length jacket makes me look stumpy and fatter...I have no waist to emphasize! Different strokes🤪!

One of your best episodes this year. Every tip was spot on and made me chuckle because many of us “older” women make these kinds of choices on a regular basis. Thank you for giving us appealing options and ideas to change our look from frumpy to fabulous. My favorite tips are the shoe ideas. I will be giving away a few pairs of shoes!!!!!!

Kudos to you, Erin, and thank you! This is one of the most helpful videos regarding style I've ever seen. I loved every "after" look except the dress that stopped mid-calf and the sneakers (sorry). It appears to shorten the leg and I'm old enough to remember women wearing dresses and sneakers on the subways, buses or El trains (before changing into heels at the office) and it conjures up bad memories...Lol. I won't be sad if this trend goes away. I loved your clothing picks..you looked amazing! Thanks again for the tips! XO❤

Omg good compilation with good examples. I wish there was KZfaq back in the day so I would have known how to shop smarter. Oh well, live and learn

Great video. I feel like I watched the shoe part from a previous video and it helped me to buy a pair of more modern sandals. The biggest middle aged lady mistake I see is a look with white pants, colored shoes and colored top that matches. I don't wear that look any more and have green, red and blue shoes that never get worn now. I think other people said this but that emerald top is gorgeous on you! Thanks for the great content.

I am a victim of what I call "diaper butt", as you call it the "load in the pants" look hahaha... I have such a hard time finding jeans that fit 😭

One of the most helpful videos you have done so far. Thank you.

Erin, this is one of your best videos..👍

I love this Erin, it can be challenging to style your look. The tips on capris and tops. Like you I am 5’1 but also large busted the combination makes it a challenge.

Vionics shoes are cute, and made for those of us with plantar fasciitis or arch problems. They run from $120-250, and as a retired teacher who stood all day ever day, I highly recommend.

Erin, you crack me up! What a wonderful helpful video! Now I know why the resale shop I frequent doesn’t take any of my Chico’s items, even basic white shirts. Thanks for your energy and your dedication to helping us feel and look good!

I recently discovered your channel from a Facebook video and I think you are terrific. I'm 58 and your style tips are spot-on. Your recommendations, especially in the area of accessories have raised my style game. Many thanks!

Your sense of humor is getting better and better everyday..enjoying your new videos a lot 🥰. Thanks

You have given me so many great ideas and tips. I will be getting at least three of the items. Just what I needed thank you. FYI flip-flops cause bunions.

Hi from UK! I love your videos! When you showed the jeans that "looked like you took a dump in your pants" I nearly fell off my chair!!! I love how you keep your videos fun and lighthearted 🤣

Fabulous tips, Lots I didn’t think of.....thank you! Your hair looks amazing in the green blouse. Love the colour and curl style. Thank you for all you share and do for this channel. Ciao.

As an older woman, you tips are great. They really help those of us who want to stay on trend, do so without looking ridiculous, or as if we’re trying too hard. I will admit at 5’1”, I could just never do ankle pants, being as short as I am, I just feel, they cut my leg & make me look shorter. As a mature woman, stilettos are no longer in my shoe collection, it’s 3” heels & under for me, but I still rock a reasonable platform. Thank you for showing comfortable, yet fashionable shoes. For was too many years, I would shy away from these, as, to be honest, they were frumpy looking. So, it’s nice to see, that these companies woke up, & realized, yes, comfort can also be fashionable. Thank you again, for your tips, they truly are helpful.

I love the Donald Pliner Fiji platform sandals. I have them in three colors, and an older pair in leopard. They are like grown up, more elegant Birks.

Super helpful tips!!! Thank you!

You made me crack up with some of your comments. Thank you!! :)

The tips are perfect for us who may not have it all together every day...lol...it’s a good reminder, we need that from time to time. Your like that girl friend that don’t want us to go out without looking our best version of ourselves.....😊 thank you Erin. Why ,oh why , do the people who make these ‘before ‘ clothes think in what World would that style of clothes make a woman feel good about herself.? Not this one, even with all that’s going on in the world today, we still like to feel good about what we wear, even if we are just in our houses and or going to get groceries. Stay safe people, take care of yourselves....❤️🇨🇦.

I can’t skip the horizontal stripes. I hear this all the time and it’s the one fashion don’t I always choose to break bc I love them so much lol. I love the tips on here. I just have to keep my stripes.

The crotch framing tunic makes me laugh out loud every time. Hahahaha!

Always great advice. Thank you!

Statement jewelry. I have such a variety of jewelry from vintage to chunky modern to dainty. Over 60% I don’t wear. I really need to weed out my jewelry box. I already got rid of half of my vintage brooch collection.

Hi Erin, Can you do a video on sunglasses to suit faces and flattering frames to help proportion faces.

The striped after photo looked a lot like me and my friends in the late 70’s. The hair and the pants, oh my!

Oh my goodness! What a difference all of the looks made!

Hi Erin...i hope you could do video or some tips on what to wear for a tall and skinny woman at 40s. Thanks and God bless😘

I love them all. Thanks

Erin loving that mint/ blue pastel color. Girl you are glowing beautiful 🥰❤️☀️☀️☀️👏

Hi Erin , I love your videos , your accent and your cheerfulness, you take us into your life and we learn so much and you improve my English vocabulary !!!

Love your videos! Video suggestions: dresses, rompers and jumpsuits for summer (easy and quick). Thanks Erin!

I love your styling tips videos.

“Crotch- framing tunic”. I laughed so loud! 😆🤣

Love your style videos and how you present the tips!

Love the boxy jacket!

Love love love your videos! ❤ Lots of great, useful ideas.

LOVE the beige and white on you. Not so much me, but the shoes and everything ❤️❤️❤️

So the first time I watched your frumpy video where you showed that great contrast between the "jailhouse" stripe top and the super-flattering diagonally placed thin stripe top I thought "wow that's amazing, look at the difference!!" For some strange reason, though, it did not cause me to toss immediately from my closet an old, unflattering, horizontal striped tee, that I regrettably wore just this past weekend. Apparently I needed to watch this second video before finally pulling it out and giving it the boot. Thank you, Erin!!!

Love the dress with blouse underneath with sneakers.

I love the jewelry tips . I got rid of all my big chunky beaded necklaces a few months ago . For one thing , they were heavy !! Currently Replacing with nice , lighter pieces I can wear every day .

Ohhh I’m so excited!!! I know I’m a little bit late to the game but I’m totally lost with my style I’m turning 50 this year and I’m freaking out I don’t even have a style I don’t think so I just subscribed to your weekly and daily newsletter I hope this will help thank you so much for your KZfaq channel and for all day tips and tricks you bring us! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Watch twice and take notes! A wonderful video.

Loved all of the tips.

Good morning Erin, I absolutely enjoyed your video! Thank you so much for your wonderful tips! Have a Beautiful day!!! ❤

Love your advice. I am over 70 and simple and elegant has always been my style so I am told. Ann from Va.

Aetrex-super cute sandles and wedges, boots....! , abeo- amazing arch support and cute sandles and wedges and boots and (vionic-heels for elegant) are for arch support and planter fasciitis 💕

Thank you Erin for the clear cut instructions. It’s hard to look pulled together in retirement in a coastal southern community. I would love to see every day summer retirement outfits for a tall apple shape!

Love these types of videos! thank you

Erin, Those cute black and white print pants would look better with black strappy sandals to lighten the look. The sandals featured were too heavy looking for the pants. Also, that striped black and white top looked nice on you. You could wear anything and look great.

I like the green top

I love horizontal stripes but they don’t love me. I have one horizontal striped top with small stripes, but I layer a sweater over it.

Thx. Love this advice.

Thank you 😊 One of your best video jet Kip then coming please .....god knows some of us need your advice

Thank you great help

I love this! I’m 66, and I don’t do frumpy. I see all of the boxy tunics, and wonder why women want to look like a square. I know many women want coverage for their tummies, but don’t go super oversize! You’re just adding weight and bulk at that point. And yes, the shoes are critically important. Good luck everyone! Have fun with your wardrobe!

My favorite was the sandals suggestions....great options for sure. thank you!

Thanks Lots of great ideas. I’m on the brink of 70 and fashion has always been important to me. You don’t have to pay a fortune to look good. You just need to know how to put it together.

I used to wear a popular brand on a shopping channel...until I realized all those ruffles, lace details were right on the widest part of my body...I donated those tops! Another great video....thank you!

I loved this highlighted underscored compilation of all my favorite videos!

Awesome! Even for under 40 👌🏻

Your lower body in those dark pants/jeans accented with the gold buttons looks phenomenal - example 3 (?). I'm tempted to get a pair.

I'm pretty sure I have seen that video before,months ago... still fun to watch

Learned a lot! Couldn’t take my eyes off that emerald green top which looks gorgeous on you! Thanks for the help with the Capri pants and shorts since summer is coming and we want to rock that.

Excellent tips and video ! 😊👍

Thank you for sharing your tips ... u are so nice

Erin you always make such cleaver references to some clothing choices. I struggle with looking " polished" because I'm 4'9 and have a very short torso. My athletic body causes different problems so try to keep my outfits very simple. Stay safe and have a great day!

I'm over 50 and a hippie /gypsy .., we wear what the vibes gives 🤷☮️✌️

So good! Thank you for the tips. Since I started following you, I stop and think twice! Doing these suggestions and seeing for myself, it changes everything. I’ve got a bag to give away. Thank you!

Always keeping it real....you are fabulous!
