Hey guys! Thanks for joining me today. I'm going to talk about five super common mistakes that we all make that can make us look older. Before we dive into that, I want to launch this poll: Do you feel like you look old for your age? I’ve activated the poll and I'm waiting for your responses. Sometimes I feel like I've dressed all wrong and look older than I should, and I've been working on that constantly. So if you feel that way, let me know with a yes or no. I’m not sure if it matters, but I'm really curious to hear your thoughts!
"Hey, do you remember me from Project Runway Season 13? It's your favorite fashion reality show hosted by Tim Gunn, Heidi Klum, Michael Kors, and Zac Posen. If you haven’t checked out my season yet, you should! Season 13 was one of the good ones, definitely worth a watch. We had some crazy challenges, tons of fashion, a lot of drama, and just all-around good stuff. So go watch my season! And if you know someone who loves Project Runway and is missing it, tag them in the comments below. Just mention their name, and the algorithm will show them this video!"

"TV Like Me Shop Shop on sandhyagarg.com has delicious clothing for stunning people like you. So let’s dive into five common mistakes that women over 35, and you know, over 30, make that are making us look older than we actually are. Number one: it’s super common to hide our problem areas with loose clothes. Tell me, who hasn’t done this? If you have, raise your hand below with an emoji. And if you’re feeling sad about it, just let me know! Seriously, I think we’re all guilty of this."
One fashion mistake I used to make was hiding my problem areas. You know those days when I'm not feeling great and I’d wear loose, dowdy, ugly dresses or tops? Later on, I realized that it wasn’t helping me look or feel good. So I decided, instead of hiding those bits, I’d show off my pretty features. I’ve got so many things I love about myself, but I often feel like there's something wrong with me. I think we’re harder on ourselves than we need to be, so I made a change.
"Instead of hiding, I’m embracing who I am and how I feel about my body. I want to show off what I think is pretty about myself. So, I decided this is my body shape, and if you’re not sure what your body shape is, I’m going to link a video where you can measure yourself and find out. Go watch that video, and you’ll know exactly what your body shape is. If you have any questions, just let me know. First, I learned what my body shape was, and then I..."
I understood which parts of my body made me feel confident and look pretty, so I decided what kind of clothing to wear that complements my body shape and the features I feel good about. It was as simple as that. I know it sounds complicated, but once you know your body shape, it’s a done deal. No matter if you gain or lose weight, your body shape stays the same. A straight or rectangular body will gain or lose weight accordingly, so it doesn't change.
"It's all about the shape, style, and the way you dress. I have an hourglass figure, and I love my neck and shoulders, so I like to show off that area. I wear dresses that fit me at the waist and then flow out. It makes me feel super confident; I don't feel like I need to hide anything, and I don't look older than I am. I hope you can guess my age—I’m a mom of two, so I’m not a young 20-something. Tell me, how old do you think I am? Instead of hiding anything, I like to show off what I've got."
"Hey, I hope you like my gifts! I feel fabulous and super happy with my styling. If you share your body shape with me, I’ll let you know what styles look good on you. I’ll also share a video link where I talk about this, and maybe I’ll do a new video about knowing your body shape and styling accordingly. By the way, let me show you what I’m wearing right now—I’m in my green velvet dress, and I absolutely love it! It’s so in fashion, and I know you can see my whole outfit."
"Hey guys, I want you to check out this link right here. Go ahead and shop or drop your thoughts in the comments below. Take a look at how this dress looks from head to toe and let me know if you like it or not! Now, let's talk about a common fashion mistake—wearing the wrong colors for your skin tone. I'm going to link a video I made about skin tones and the colors that complement them. I have a warmer skin tone, more on the golden side."
I have steel gray eyes, and I feel like I look like Morticia Addams from the Addams Family. I look so dull sometimes, but I know I have a warmer skin tone, so warmer colored clothing always complements my skin. I look fabulous in yellows, oranges, and reds; all these warm tones really suit me. Right now, I’m wearing this beautiful velvet dress with a warm print, but it’s also muted for fall, so I brightened it up with some bold red lipstick. If you ever feel like you're wearing something dull, you can always spice it up!
"Always highlight it with a little bit of bright makeup and some vibrant accessories. You could go for a nice bright bag or shoes; it's going to make a fashion statement and instantly elevate your look, making you appear younger than you actually are. Those dull, boring colors don't do your skin any favors. One way to fix that problem is to wear colors that complement your skin tone. I'm talking about creating a capsule wardrobe that suits your skin color. I'll also link that video below, so be sure to check it out!"
