Rhinestone belt buckles are classy? Add a ruffled shirt and an ill fitting blazer and you are dressed for success?

I rather just carry around the tea cup and saucer to elevate my outfit.

I wear jeans a LOT because they are so versatile, LOVE the addition of elastic to denim so they don't look baggy anymore.

I can't wear the jackets they show in the vid because they are too unshaped and long, I'd look 30 lbs heavier, my choice is a waist length jacket like a jeans jacket, I have many colors of that jacket, black, white, cranberry and of course denim blue.
That's a better look for me.

Belts are nice if your stomach can handle a tucked in shirt. Not me, not yet, maybe in 6 months, am dieting right now.
Interestingly, in another of her videos she says, that wearing shapeless items isn't flattering to women and can make them look heavier. She recommends tailored jackets that at least give the appearance of a waist. I think that was in her anti-frumpy video.

I guess you can say anything to the loyal and faithful, even when it makes ZERO sense.
It is all about the clicks and the views...

The easiest way to look younger and not frumpy is to lose the extra fat most women over 50 are carrying around. Clothing can only do so much.

I can’t get past her voice and presentation to evaluate her style. I find myself Xing out, as her schtick is rather mincing,and overbearing which isn’t stylish or whatever she’s trying to claim. Tone it down. Yeah I got as far as the big blazer tent, hair helmet, and those ruffly blouses are dated. Yeah I have a hard time too with marrying jeans to more formal wear. The video titles are admonishy too. School marm? Her videos are 8 minutes but way hard to get through.

Most women over 50 look younger and not frumpy by losing the extra fat most of them carry?
Why do we always have to look younger?

I really do not care. This fat phobia in the US not only interesting but concerning.
Would anyone care to take over an 86 year old who thinks she is too fat at 138 US pounds and 6 feet? Scrawny is an understatement.
