Bravo! I agree with this sentiment. Also, these women were wearing confidence. That's always important. Exactly! A woman's best accessory!

I Iris Apfael. There is a documentary about her on either Amazon Prime or Netflix. I forget which one. She is a very facinating woman.

YES! I know there is a time and place for everything, however I hate when people ask me, "Am I too old to wear this?" Wear whatever you feel good in!
I would like to think I stay up with the trends, but I also love my "ugly" shoes like Dansko's and Clogs.

I love it!!!!! I especially love that Iris Apfel ended up being Number 1. She is such an icon for being authentic and individual no matter what your age. And I really love the text at the end of it: "Women in today’s world are hit from all sides. Do this. Wear that. Don’t do this. Don’t do that. Speak softly. Smile. Agree, agree, agree. Assimilate. Shut up. Stay down. The last thing we need is other women telling us what we should and shouldn’t do. Stand up, ladies, and stand together. Don’t be like Kallie Provencher. (Especially don’t be like her.) Wear what you want, do what you want, and support one another! And like all of these fabulous ladies, don’t give a fuck."

myshelly: I'll check that one out; thanks!! I also really liked the movie Dior and I. The process of making a collection of clothes out of the designer's vision was really cool and it was very interesting to see the work behind the scenes and the women who work in the atelier. (plus, Rafe Simons is pretty hot!)

Honestly, I can look in the mirror and tell if I should not wear something. And then there are the jeans and sweatshirts that I wear because I love them and don't care. I refuse to wear jammies and slippers out of the house. I will wear a bra if I am out of the house. I change my underwear once a day. Anything else is fair game.

While I liked the premise I wish it had been less staged actresses/personalities and more real people. Let's face it well known personalities can pull off some of these looks. If I was to dress like some of them and go shopping in Walmart I would be on the "look what walmart shoppers are wearing" website and some of the same folks loving that blog post would be laughing at me and joining in on the shaming walmart customers people like to do.
Some gorgeous woman there though and some days I wish I had the personality to carry off some of the looks.

As for the other women, I saw it more as they're (probably) wearing what they feel good in, which is what everyone should do at any age. ETA: and as for whether you end up on the People of Walmart website-- if you're dressed appropriately for the occasion, you like what you're wearing, and you feel good about the way you look, then I say screw them!

So don't read the 'look what walmart shoppers are wearing' website. Really who cares what some internet shamers think about your clothes?
