Jodie's Touch of Style showcases how it's never too late to look great including other older women and myself talking about fashion, beauty, and Lifestyle issues.
As a retired dentist, Jodie takes her love of clothing and shopping and has come to find her superpowers in styling the same item in many ways. She is also a huge advocate for embracing our age and bodies. Getting old is a wonderful thing and learning to love ourselves while it happens is very freeing.
Looking great can happen no matter what age, shape or budget, as we show on Jodie's Touch of Style.

When it comes to creating a polished look, the question of tucked vs untucked is a decision we all face.
