SPRING Outfit Ideas for Women Over 40 #over40 #over50 #2023trends #cargopants

Hey everyone, it's me Serena. Welcome or welcome back to my channel. Today I'm going to be styling one of this year's hottest trends and that is cargo pants. You know, I'm not one to jump on the bandwagon of every trend. I don't do that. But cargo pants, cargo skirts, cargo shorts, they are a style that I've always been fond of. So I'm going to enjoy them being on trend right now. So that's what we're going to do today. I've got a lot of looks and of course everything that I show you in the video will be linked down in the description. And don't forget to hit that red subscribe button if you haven't and give this video a thumbs up if you like it. So now let's get with the try on. So I have a couple of different cargo pants that I'm going to be styling today. And this first pair is this tan kind of gold cargo pant in a camo pattern. These are from Blank Noir. But I'm wearing it here just with a simple white tank and I topped it off with this green faux leather moto jacket from Scoop at Walmart that you guys have seen a ton on my channel. And just sneakers and then a blingy cross body bag. And I just love the way this looks together. And you could use a black jacket or a jean jacket or whatever kind of topper you wanted to. But I thought the green was a little bit unexpected. And it goes really nicely with the tone of these pants. So this is just a great everyday casual look featuring these tan camouflage cargo pants. Next up is something a little more dressy. And it's the other pair of cargo pants that I'm going to be styling in today's video. These are the tensile jogger or tensile cargo jogger pants from Banana Republic Factory. And I dressed it up by adding a cream colored cami, a black blazer, and some black strappy shoes. So this it just shows you the versatility of these pants. They're that tensile fabric so it's very soft and drapey. And I think it lends itself very very nicely to be dressed up. So this is something you could wear out on a day, out to dinner, whatever. And I love this look. In this next look I'm doing something kind of similar but with those tan joggers. I'm wearing the same cami. I added this cream colored blazer and some nude strappy sandals. I thought the cream color of this blazer and the gold buttons on it went so nicely with the tone of these pants. And these pants have some gold detail on them as well. Then with just a cream cami and these nude shoes from Dream Pairs and topped it off with my little quilted Lola Mae bag. But this is another dressy way to wear these cargo joggers. I love mixing dressy and casual together. It just adds a lot of interest to your outfit. Can you wear cargo pants to work? I think you can. Of course it depends on your workplace or your dress code. But here's a workwear look I put together with those green joggers. Added a black tank. That same black blazer that you saw earlier. And then I'm wearing it with my black Vivalia flats. I think this is a very work appropriate outfit. Again depending on your workplace and what the dress code is. And then all you had to do was take that jacket off and swap out the flats for some sandals. And then you'd have a very casual look. And you'll see that coming up a little bit later in the video. This next look may be one of my favorites out of the whole video. And it features those same green joggers. And I added this navy waffle knit top. Just did a little front tuck and let the back kind of hang out freely. I added these sandals. These are the clog style sandals that are very much on trend right now. These are also by Dream Pairs. And then I brought in a little pop of color with my circle bag from Portland Leather Goods. I love this bright pop of yellow. I think it looks great with the navy and the olive green. And it kind of matches back to the shoes nicely as well. So this is just a really cute casual outfit for every day. You could wear this to anything. You know appointments, meetings, casual workplace, or just out running your errands. You could really wear this anytime, anywhere. If I'm looking a little bit tan today, there's a reason for that. And I'm going to get into that and share some makeup items that I'm using. I know you guys always like to know what I'm wearing and what shades. I'm going to go over that. And I'll have that link down in the description as well. But I also wanted to take a moment to remind you to follow me on Instagram and LTK. I post daily over there. You often get to see things first over there before I have a chance to crank out a YouTube video. So be sure you're following me over there for daily outfit inspiration. And if you want to go straight to my LTK shop, get out your phone and scan this QR code and you can go straight to my LTK shop. And there I have all my outfits from Instagram, Facebook, everywhere in one place with shoppable links for everything. So be sure you're following me over there. So the tan you see on my face is not real. And speaking of tanning or not tanning, I have very sensitive skin and I have had a terrible time finding facial sunscreen that didn't break me out, didn't give me a rash, didn't sting, didn't burn when I started to sweat it off. So I got an email from this company called Ginger Armor asking me if I would try out their sunscreen or it's a sunscreen and moisturizer combined. This was created by a ginger, a redhead, who is a landscape designer out in Southern California. So he's fair complected. He burns. He's tried all these different sunscreens and like myself, everything bothered him. It either broke him out, inflamed his skin, did something irritable to his skin. So he knew that he had to have something for protection with the line of work that he does. So he took it upon himself to develop this sunscreen. And I was skeptical, but I said sure. They were going to send it to me. I said yes, I'll try it. It's a daily, it's a mineral SPF 50 plus and daily moisturizer for your face and any other sensitive skin. So your neck, chest, anywhere that's kind of sensitive. That's what this is formulated for. So I put it to the test. First, I tried it under my makeup and you shake it up and then you spray it out into your hand and rub it all over your face. And at first I was like, oh no, this feels greasy. This is not gonna work. But I let it just sit there for a few minutes. I didn't apply makeup immediately after and after a few minutes it soaked in and it wasn't greasy anymore. So then I applied my makeup and everything went on just fine. And I wore it throughout the day and I didn't have any breakdown of my makeup or anything. And this has no white cast either. A lot of the sunscreens, you know, you do get that white look from them. This has no white cast to it. So that's great. Then I put it to the test out in the sun and exercising. So I put it on when I went out for one of my daily walks and this was a warm day. So I was sweating and usually the problem I have with facial sunscreens is when I start to sweat around my forehead and everything and the sweat mixes with the SPF it starts to sting or burn my skin. And this did not do that. So I have to say I was skeptical but I gave it a try and it passed the test for me. So I'm very excited to have this SPF and moisturizer now in my skincare arsenal. So I will have this linked down in the description box below if you want to check it out. It's Ginger Armor but you don't have to be a ginger to wear it. As for the rest of my tan, I went a little overboard with one thing today. I'm looking kind of like an Oompa Loompa. That's why. I just didn't have time to redo my makeup. The facial tanner that I'm using and it works great. It's fragrance free. It doesn't have anything in it that irritates my skin. It's the Bondi Sands Pure Self Tanning Face Mist. And it is a spray. It says to spray it all over your face and then blend in with a tanner mitt. And for some reason they wanted to get cute with the sprayer nozzle. And this thing just does not work worth a darn. So the product is good. The sprayer is awful. So I've got me a little clear spray bottle that I'm just going to pour this into and use because this sprayer stinks. But the product is great. And the foundation that I'm using today, it's the right color. Just don't look at the excessive tanner. I'm really liking this. It's a drugstore foundation. It's the L'Oreal True Match Lumi Healthy Luminous Makeup. And this also has an SPF of 20 in it. I'm wearing the color N5 which is true beige. And this has nice medium coverage. You can build it up more but it's a really nice shade. I find that the biggest problem I have with drugstore foundations is the color range. They typically just don't have good colors. But this L'Oreal True Match line has a ton of colors and they have them separated out between cool, neutral, and warm. I'm a neutral so this works great for me. And it has just a very slight luminous effect. It's not anything overly glowy or it's not going to put a shine on your face. It's just a nice subtle glow and it finishes up with a really nice satin finish. I'm really enjoying this foundation and it's you know $12 or $15 at Walmart. Now the thing that I use that I've probably used too much of today was this bronzer. And I recently discovered this bronzer. It's by Physician's Formula. It's the Butter Glow Liquid Bronzer. It just comes in the one shade. And it's just a liquid. You squeeze it out. What you do, I mean you could blend it with your fingers but I have been squeezing it out onto the back of my hand and then using a blush brush to dab it in there and then just blend it. It blends really nicely but a little bit goes a long, long way. So I'm still playing with it and experimenting to get down you know exactly how much to use. Today I used maybe a little bit too much but it has a nice glow to it too. But being a liquid it's very easy to blend in and it just gives you such an awesome glow and just like you have been to the beach. It is wonderful. I mean you could just use it all over your face if you wanted to just to add some color. I'm really enjoying this. This stuff is great. And to keep with kind of a warm neutral theme for today's makeup, I used this eyeshadow palette. It's the Colourpop Feeling Toasty. That is the eyeshadow palette that I used. And on my lips I did something a little bit different today. A little bit more subtle. I used my favorite lip liner. This is the Maybelline Color Sensational lip liners. They are the best. Who cares about you know high-end lip liners? These by Maybelline, I've tried a ton. They are the best. They don't bleed. They stay on your lips but they glide really easily. They're not dry or anything. I love these. And I'm using the color Purely Nude and then I filled my lip in a little bit with that. And then for the gloss, I'm using the Maybelline Lifter Gloss. This is the color Stone. So just a very nice neutral look today because I was trying on a lot of neutral colors so I wanted to go really neutral with makeup. So that is what I'm wearing. Okay back to the outfits. Here I've got the tan camo pants back on and this cute graphic tee. This is another one of those graphic tees from Walmart. And I love that it says Paris and it's got the Eiffel Tower and then some pretty blooms on there. It's just a real springy looking shirt. And I'm just wearing some white sneakers with this look. And then my pale denim jacket. This is also from Walmart, time and true. And the denim jacket just pulls out that blue that's in the graphic tee. And I just love this outfit. I think it goes together so nicely. I love the tones and the shades of everything. And then for some fun, I added this bling crossbody from Madden NYC from last fall. And I think this just makes a great casual everyday outfit. It's so comfortable but you're pulled together and I just love how all these colors came together. And now I'm back with the green cargo pants and I've got on that black tank. That tank is from Target. I love these tank tops because they have wide straps so you can wear a regular bra. And here I'm wearing it with the green pants and these black sandals from Steve Madden. These are not from Walmart. These are from Nordstrom actually. They are the Steve Madden line. Top this off with the black blingy crossbody. And I think this is just a great sporty look with these joggers. This is definitely a summertime look. It's going to be cool and you got on some comfortable sandals and it's just a great everyday look. Here's a close-up of these sandals. They are styled like a sports sandal and yes, despite what I said in my previous video about velcro sandals, these are velcro. However, they don't look like velcro sandals. You've got this little thing right here. It looks like that it closes with that little buckle but it really doesn't. That's just for decoration. Beautiful thing about that is, you know, I have bunions so I can adjust this front part to be comfortable to the width of my foot. And the shoe itself is just surprisingly comfortable. It's very supportive. It's got good arch support there and a really flexible rubbery sole and they're not terribly heavy. So this is just a great summertime sandal and they come in like a nude color as well. So I really like these sandals. And here is the same outfit just with different accessories. Changed out the sandals for these little raffia slides. These are by Scoop from Walmart and I added this cute little crossbody that I'll show in a minute. This is from Walmart also and then I added this little fedora hat. This is from Amazon and it's got the black band on it. And I thought this was just a really cute look. This is another great look for vacationing, for sightseeing, for anything really. And I like the details of the woven raffia or straw together throughout the outfit. And I think it just really pops against this black and dark olive outfit. So here's a close-up of the sandal. It's just a little slide and it is made out of this raffia stuff. It's got the cute little tortoise shell buckle there. Here's a close-up of that little purse. This is the same exact design as a purse I got last year from Walmart in red. So it's got this open middle section here, two zipper pockets, and this part actually opens up on the front. And this may look small but it holds a surprising amount. I'm able to get my little slim wallet into one of these zipper sections and then in the other one I put my car key, my lipstick, lip gloss, whatever. And then that leaves this middle section open and it's the perfect size for my phone and my glasses case. So it holds everything that I need it to and it's just got such neat little details on it. This is going to be a great bag for summer with this straw look crammed in the black. I just love it. Cargo pants aren't the only things trending for this year. It's cargo skirts, cargo shorts, cargo everything. And this little cargo skirt, I found this from Democracy and I love it so much. It is a great length. I'm wearing it in a size 6 and it is that absolution fabric that Democracy is known for. So it's got tummy control and it's got that stretchy waistband so you don't have to worry about gapping or anything. And it's just a really comfortable skirt and I'm wearing it here with this striped button-down from Walmart. You guys have seen this before. I think this is such a cute look and I'm wearing the footbed sandals from Walmart in the cognac color and then I added in this toaster bag from Portland Leather Goods in the color honey. It's a great match back to these cognac sandals and I wear skirts like this just like I would shorts. So I would wear this skirt with a t-shirt, with a tank top, with any kind of sandal, with cute sneakers. Really just however you would wear shorts, just wear it with this skirt. I love a skirt in the summertime. They keep you cool and they look just a little bit more dressed up than a pair of shorts. And I love this skirt so much I have ordered it in a green as well. Be sure to comment down below and let me know what your favorite look was and if you are going to be joining in on the cargo trend this year. Thanks so much for stopping by and spending part of your day with me. And until I see you in my next video, have a stylish day. Bye-bye.
