"Hi! I'm Terri Turco with Expert Village and this is "Wardrobe for Women Over 30". Basically I'm showing you how to really put some classic pieces together that will work day in, day out and for years to come. Now we've talked about you need to have a suit. You need to have a good pair of pant, if not two pairs, you know the same length so that you got to wear them with heels, wear them with flats. You need a skirt. Then you need something to wear on top besides the white blouse. Stuff for mix and match. So these are things that are really going to elongate all those looks. Now, number one stapes of tops is the t-shirt. I know, truth be told. Now here's a white t-shirt. Every women needs to have a white t-shirt. You can wear this underneath sweaters, underneath jackets, it's a great staple. But a couple of notes. First of all, a v-neck t-shirt is the most flattering style on every single woman. You can have boat neck. You can have a round neck, as you see here. But the v-neck, nothing is better. Then you want a sleeve you can have a smaller sleeve, but what you want with your sleeves is to make sure that they don't pucker. They should never pucker. They should just lie straight and flat against your arm. And of course the best length to have for a white t-shirt is about three inches below your waist. If you have a really long waist, well then hike it up a little. Okay, you just want it to cover the waist mid-hip length. You don't want it over your derriere, because that?s going to add width. And if you're going to add width, add it to your shoe size, not to your backside. But you want to start with your white t-shirt. I know that there's more to life than just the plain white t-shirt and white blouse. So, you do have a number of other items. You can always have a good camisole that's good for evening, put it under a business suit, or any kind of item of jeans. It's a great little dress up item. You can have little velour tops. You can have printed. Leopard print is always great, never goes out of style. And a really nice classic silk blouse is great to have. Cotton, once again, this blouse as you see, this has that princess line again. So you know it's going to form to the body and really fit you well. That's always good to look for. And like I said, an assortment of silks, colors, prints. This is really the place where your wardrobe has great mileage. So, go buy yourself a couple tops if you've got that suit and the perfect pair of pants and skirt."
