#4 and #1
@@SiRourch thank you so much! Glad you found them helpful
#14 and #15 are sooooo important. I'd love to see a video where you take clothes you've had at least 2 years and style them for this season.
CLOSET!!
I really liked your first point about how you can style an outdated item and still make it look cool and modern. I'd love to see several examples and get more ideas about this. 😊
Spend more on the bra than the shirt is brilliant!
As a 61 year old woman, I find I have a challenge with mixing styles and dressing the outfit up or down to make pieces more versatile. I think it's because of being raised with the mindset of having dress up clothes / play clothes / school clothes all for different purposes.
@@jane63 I totally get that Jane! Most of us were raised this way. My encouragement would be to display with your clothes and have fun looking for combinations that you like. Sometimes it’s just taking that time and then giving yourself permission to combine things in ways that you wouldn’t normally try
I'm a little older than you (64) & I know what you mean. Girls weren't even allowed to wear pants to school whenI was in grade school. And I definitely had school clothes, play clothes & church clothes. But that all changed in the 70s with Designer Jeans iirc. My mom would argue with me about wearing jeans to school when I was a teen. In her mind jeans were functionl not fashionable & something you wore to do ranch work (my family had a ranch)or to play in. I kind of love the freedom to mix & match that we have now. A tee shirt, denim jacket & sneakers with trousers or a dressy blouse with jeans. It's fun - embrace it.
Do a quick search for “levels of refinement,” by Imogen Lamport of InsideOutStyle in Australia. She’s the only fashionista I’ve seen discussing this, and it was a real 💡 moment for me.
Level 1 = formal
Level 2 = Nice Casual
Level 3 = Leisure
1 and 3 do not mix well unless you are a fashion master.
I've just bought my first pair of wide leg jeans after resisting for a couple of years because to be honest I prefer straight leg or bootcut. But because I have a bit of a tummy I find them surprisingly flattering as they skim my tummy. For the same reason A-life denim skirts look better on me than pencil skirts.
My elegant Italian grandma had a wardrobe 1/6 of the size of my wardrobe, we don't need so many clothes!
I love going into my closet to play and create new outfits after a great TH-cam inspirational video.
I don’t think there is a wiser or more insightful stylist on the internet.
Right?? She's fantastic! I'm so glad I found her. 😊❤
Agree!!! ❤
Truth
"You need fewer clothes than you think you do" and "change the jacket and the shoes". Both ideas really hit home for me!
As I purge and clean out my closet I find #9 to be true. As a retired person, I like this. I want to WEAR what I own.
Ok- the bra/shirt cost tip was a "omg" moment for me. I just remeasured myself for a bra (YT video helped!) And yep, I've been in the wrong bra size FOR YEARS! I'm 69. So, I ordered a bra that fits and yep, it cost more than any shirt I've bought in years! Thank you.
Recently I went in to a local boutique and was fitted by an expert. Wow…what a difference!! My shirts looked so much better! Worth every penny!
Thank you dear Nada!! Great video - I love all the tips. Insightful and provoking!! I am shopping my wardrobe this season as I have what I love and its in my colouring (Winter Deep) and fits. Stuff that doesn't is either under review or will be out!
Great rules to follow for keeping our style modern & flattering, especially clothes that skim the body & avoid sparkles👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thinking of you and everyone in Florida and praying for your safety.
I realized I have done some of this subconsciously. I've purchased boots pretty much every year, in part because I am a boot freak 😂 But I have done the same with jackets and lady jacket types of things. Great tips!
I so agree with #14 and I’d go further. Invest in finding a fitter that you can trust and that carries a good range of makes and styles. Ditto other foundation wear, should you need it. I must be a warm shopper😂 I make a list and often take a friend for a second opinion on style and fit plus. And who likes having coffee and cake alone, right? 😂
Thank you for a great video! I agree with all of your tips, maybe with the exception that the personality pieces will never date; most pieces will date. It also seems contradictory to me that, on the one hand, you can style dated clothes to look modern, and on the other hand, the basics need to look modern to make the outfit look modern as a whole.
I'd love you to expand on this and show examples of how to style dated clothes to look modern!
All fabulous tips, every one. I especially love
Permission to just changing my jacket and shoes to make it outfit current.
@@Heavenwalk55 thank you so much! I so appreciate the comment! Glad you found it helpful
Hi Nada, another brilliant video!🤗 We here in UK are very lucky regarding underwear, we have a little secret😉 🤫we have Marks and Spencer's (M&S) ! Virtually every British woman buys M&S bra's, underwear and sleepwear from them ☺It's a no brainer as the quality is excellent and it lasts years! I always end up there 😊In store they also do fittings, so we know what size to get and it's easy to book a fitting online with your local store, and they remind you every 6 months so you can get measured regularly.
You're so lucky! I wish we had a M&S here. 😢
I lived in London for a while and I hung on to those M&S undies waaaaaay longer than I should have. Still haven’t found any as good as those. RIP
@@psyche8187 M&S Do ship to the USA hope this helps!😊
@@rosej9686 M&S Do ship to the USA, hope this helps!
@@carolinesaunders8603 Thanks! Unfortunately, the selection available to us here is very limited, though. 😥
Working on "skimming."
Larger hoops kind of camouflage or deflect away my chin and neck area that I don't always like.
Good bra yes!!!
I but a lot less if I shop with my cold shopper husband!
Thank you for tops, love you! Stay safe this week!
I loved your tip about making an outfit better by just changing the shows and jacket. Seems so simple but makes sense.
These tips are brilliant! I wish you had listed and numbered them in the description box so I could go back and pick my favorites (and which ones I'd like you to elaborate on), but I thought all of them were great! ❤
Hi Nada! Lightbulb moment - some images for ideas on Pinterest could be 15 years old!! Yikes!! Off topic...I know you've said you're in Florida and with Hurricane Milton barreling towards you, I hope you're not in harms way! Stay safe! Thinking of you all down there!! Warm thoughts from Canada.
Please stay safe! 🙏
Thank you, I enjoyed all your inspirational advice, and still have a big smile. Now, every time I think of what I could do with my clothes I will think of „what can I do with chicken and broccoli?“ Love it.
The bras, so important. I'm no longer young, and that's okay, but I certainly don't want to look dowdy
Closet. Able to wear out of fashion pieces with proper styling love that. Watch out for Milton remember Ashville. Keep safe
I believe I lack style Ideas. I have always been creative when it comes to styling my home, but I do have t look for style inspirations when it comes to clothes. Minimalists are good with this. I watch Alyssa Beltmo and she comes up with some great ideas with just her basic pieces. I admire people who can step out of their comfort zone and try different things.
I can’t do either! I’m not creative and struggle with both, but do a decent job with clothes. Home decorating evades me, though. 😔
I Loved this video! Q. Which retailers would show current clothes styles in the following outfit: casual jeans ( flared or straight), tops with plaid cropped jackets, and leather or suede footwear?
My style is boho ethnic eclectic (my terms!) so even though I have short-ish hair, I have many pairs of long statement costume earrings that I’ve bought on overseas trips. It’s my style so they coordinate with my outfits.
I have long, thick hair & stick to studs & hoops because anything else gets tangled in my hair or you can't see them anyway. The way you described your style is very accurate to mine. I love dangly earrings but save them for when I wear my hair up. What's nice about style currently is that it is eclectic. You don't have to dress head to toe in any one aesthetic (usually if you do you look like you're wearing a costume )
Yes, to personal style!!! No to unflattering trends.!
With the exception of nabbing some tops in burgindy, brown and army green -- MY COLOURS! -- which are supposedly on trend but still hard to find, I too am sitting out this season. Blacks and beiges, all the boring neutrals are all over town, suck the life out of my face, unless I pile on the make-up. No thanks.
That said, I don't think spending a fortune on shoes unless they're classic and/or especially flattering on you, is a great idea. Heel heights, heel shapes, toe shape, etc. change all the time. I prefer to stick in the midrange: $200 +/- $50. Comfort is paramaount but not to the point of frunpy. It's a fine line.
Bags too. Stick to simple, classic shapes, with a bit of elegant hardware, not too structured and not too slouchy. They will serve you forever. (Crossbody for the win!)
Thanks as always,
The Hottest Shopper that follows you.
Focus on metallics instead of sparkle. 👍
great tips!
I am very much looking forward to fashion rules I have never heard of, what can that be? Wondering already.
I hope you enjoy the video Christiane! Thanks so much for the comment!
Hahaha, I've always had to spend more on a bra than a shirt since I had to go to Nordstroms or special order it. I'm an H cup now & was a D at 14. What I need right now is a good minimizer so I can wear the button up blouses & tops I just bought without having to add a snap & size up so much (then they don't fit thru the shoulders) If you're on a budget, Old Navy has a lot to offer. I have basic white tees & tanks I got there 20 yrs ago & they are still going strong. (Just wash them in Oxiclean if they look dingey or get yellow around the neck & arm holes) Their denim is thick with a high cotton content. They are size inclusive - up to sz 20 - altho you may have to order online since not all stores carry all sizes. Old Navy is a sister company to The Gap & Banana Republic but at more affordable prices. And they always have a sale going on. For me, spending more on underwear/foundational garments, coats, belts,bags & shoes (real leather only unless it's canvas or cloth) works for me. Your underwear gets washed everytime you wear it, you want it to hold up & not be uncomfortable. Faux leather cracks, peels & isn't repairable if scuffed so I usually avoid it now unless it's a very "trendy" or occassion specific piece that I won't use much or I know has a short shelf life because it's trendy.
I am only a Ddd, and I went to a fitter at a boutique. Told her I wanted a minimizer and wanted this squishy mass to go away lol. Game changer! I can wear so many more things…and they look better! So maybe try a boutique instead of Nordys?
Nada. I am interested in the Natori bra you list but can you answer this question… I do not like the ones that have foam or obvious cups. I am a small framed 34 D person and do not want more out front. You like this bra, so who do you think it is best for?
@@janedelaney4327 it is not heavily padded, which I love. I am also a small framed person with a big bust and do not want to add a lot. I feel like it gives coverage without adding size.
@@NadaManley thank you. I am going to give it a go.

Here’s a hack I’ve figured out. You can buy an unlined bra, and then when necessary you can just put in one of those thin liner pads that come with sports bras and swim suits.
Unfortunately my friends are not shoppers either. I haven't been in a clothing store in years. I just finally bought 3 Qunice dresses this summer. I love your videos and am trying to find the enjoyment (vs frustration) in shopping
This entire video was meant for me. HOW to style things
Your closet workshop says it’s live. Can’t find a time
@@lindapetersen9859 it will be at 11 AM eastern time every day. However, there is a private Facebook group and replace available for everybody if you can’t make it live.
I wonder if hot shoppers should maybe shop with cold shoppers? The cold shopper will discourage the hot shopper from buying everything they see, and the hot shopper will encourage the cold shopper to buy something that works for them. :)
Hot shopper! 😆🙋🏻♀️

Of course you dont have to update wardrobes every season! 🤣🤣 That would be such a waste of money and horrible for the environment! Plus it's just a way for the industry to get you to blow more money!
Im a warm shopper, I've learned to create a list of what my wardrobe is missing & maintain a minimal wardrobe, which allows me to wear most of my pieces every season.
Got to be careful with the bling and sparkle

Lots of good tips here, thanks. I disagree about earrings. For someone with very short hair, which can read masculine, a long earring with movement mimics longer hair and can be very sexy. By the same token, very long, full hair should be moved off the neck, at least on one side, for the most becoming look. Masses of hair can overwhelm the face and upper body and detract from a woman's beauty.
