Oh Kristina the Mum in me just wanted to reach out and hug you when I saw your sad face and tell you how beautiful and loved you are 🥺🥰 you are the most amazing Momma and friend to us all, please take the time you need to rest! We will miss your content but we have lots of videos to rewatch. Thank you for inspiring this 50 something chubby Mum/Grandma to look at getting some dresses to bring me joy. You looked absolutely ADORABLE! I was shouting at the tv which ones I loved 😂❤
While we appreciate your openness, You are so right about it all. I do love your dresses. I just did the same project. I did not have the volume of clothes that you owned. I passed them to my daughter who kept what wanted. She donated the things that neither of us could not wear to a friend who provides clothing for ladies that are changing jobs or life circumstances. It made me so joyful. Now I will repeat when the seasons change. YOU ARE SO RIGHT! And I love your haircut!!❤❤
Being this vulnerable on camera is something else! Showing all the clothes, showing how it fits or doesn't fit on your body. Knowing that the world will be able to see it. I would not be able to do that. I think she's an amazing person.
I think you have a beautiful hour glass figure! And yea red looks great on you.. your clothe collection is amazing .. Your haircut looks so fresh and cute!! Don’t feel bad if needing to give yourself a rest.. we can all just have a With Love Kristina marathon while you are restoring your overall health! We will still be here..
Wow! 🎉 You’re doing it!! That was such a mammoth effort!! 💪🏽 Please take the time you need to heal and feel refreshed. Take your time and treat yourself kindly. When you are ready, we will be here to continue cheering anyone on in their goals!! ❤❤❤
I'm 51 and it's taken me this long to discover I don't have a style. My style is wearing random eclectic clothes from day to day depending on how I feel. You wear your clothes proudly as everything I saw today was size appropriate and beautiful. Have a great break and be well. You're beautiful!
I totally have to do a sit down test when trying on clothing. Things fit much more snug when I am sitting, and I cannot stand wearing clothing that feels tight or restrictive. Your wardrobe is so much fun! I really enjoy your content, and am bummed at the thought of not seeing you again until March. Take care, and get well.
I was sick from a week before Thanksgiving until mid-January. I've never been sick that long. I don't do content creation, but I entertained family, etc., and felt I had to keep a lot of traditions that I've done over the years. I cleaned like crazy, cooked like crazy, didn't rest properly, and made myself sick. Next year I'll be ordering food out and taking it a lot easier!. I'm glad you're going to take a break, and I look very forward to seeing another video in March. xoxo
Ggiirrll you are a breath of fresh air 🥹✨ thanks for bringing us along while you do these things, and modelling being kind to yourself at the same time 💖
I absolutely love all your videos, and your humor is amazing, and the fact that you're being truthful and honest to yourself and your style is beautiful 😊
5:24 yess i totally see it! i think you’re a Winter, specifically a Bright Winter - bc those bright cool tones look amazing on you, as does dark/black hair! 💛
Trying on clothes is exhausting. Kuddos to you for getting it done! I am so sorry you are struggling with burnout. Please take the time you need!! I, for one, will be here whenever you are ready to come back! HUGS!!
Long time follower here and I remember when you made this sort of fun fashion content! It’s light and inspiring and I hope you can make more of these without the need to emotionally burn yourself out ❤ this type of content is old school Kristina and really enjoyable. I can’t imagine the pressure of content creation. It seems very competitive and daunting to me. I’m impressed with your work ethic but I bet you are beyond tired. Best to you and hope you have some me time and much needed rest and family time. I’m glad you are keeping all the cardis…they are stunning! Your hair looks great, too❤
Your haircut looks absolutely gorgeous! I am so tempted to do the same after seeing you! I absolutely love your style and transparency. As a mom of 4, I often feel guilty for still loving clothing, style, fashion, and accessories but you remind me that I am still free to be myself and be a wife & mother ❤
Kristina you are beautiful and amazing! You inspire me! I’m a big girl with a 40L bust! It’s so hard to find anything to fit me! But I live through you! You look stunning! In most everything you try on! I love how you are true and honest to what you’re going through! Don’t ever let any negative comments come through! There will always be awful people who can’t help themselves bc there’s something they hate about themselves! Take some time off and enjoy You and your beautiful family! You rock!
Thank you for being open and honest about your feelings about your body and your wardrobe. You are incredibly brave being vulnerable and putting yourself out there on the Internet. But I think your video will help a lot of people be kinder to themselves regarding their body image. I think you looked amazing and gorgeous in so many of your outfits! You have great taste.
You've been a lifeline for me this past 2 years. Your beautiful voice and outlook makes your videos so enjoyable and inspiring. I believe each of us is created beautifully and individually. I am 5'2", have a larger rounded belly and love it because it's me. I'm so very glad you're part of my life!❤❤❤
You look amazing in red especially with red and black together. Watching your channel has helped me to purge my wardrobe and a lot of things in my house. I now have about 1/4 of the clothes and shoes I had.
I love that you shared this.Ive recently started thrifting most all of my clothes and I tend to over buy because of the lower cost.Listening to you is helping me refine my purchasing habits while thrifting
My best friend and I spent hours going thru my clothes. Her taste is different than me---it was a great start for me. You are so brave to share all that trauma of seeing ourselves physically and emotionally.. God bless your courage and gifts.
You did an amazing job of purging the clothes from your wardrobe. I’m motivated to finally get my clothes better organized and get rid of what I don’t wear/fit.
Amazing. I literally own five outfits. I have never found I need to have more than that. I wear a uniform at work that is provided by my work. Clothing that I have outside of work is just casual comfortable clothes that suit my style and I do laundry twice a week so I do not need tons of clothes to get me through to laundry day. It makes life so simple and it clears up so much closet space.
@WithLoveKristina it's me Ana I just am finishing up watchin this video U made an U look Sooo Dang Adorable. I love alot of ur Pretty Dresses an the 2nd pair of Jeans U put on wit that Red Tank Top U had on an the Red Lipstick wit Ur Kute an Sassy hairkut makes U look Really really pretty.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I am working on decluttering my wardrobe as well. Today I managed to rid myself of two turtlenecks that do not fit any longer. My body has changed tremendously as I have aged and many things just do not fit properly any more. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. I am a winter as well.
That was so fun to see your clothes. So many unique and stunning pieces. Especially your cardigans and dresses. You've inspired me to look out for cardigans. Take the time you need. We will still be here.
This was sooo helpful to me. I’ve put off tackling all the extra clothes in my closet. I don’t know that I will try everything on but your advice about does it bring you joy regardless of how it looks. I’m hoping to start this process tomorrow thanks to you. Oh your hair looks great☺️👍😘🥰
My 2 year old daughter saw part of the video and she spontaneously said to me "the lady is pretty" I wanted to share this with you because I found it so cute. Take care of yourself. Love from France 💖
You are literally one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen! I promise I am not a creep lol, it is just the truth! The really bold basic colors (bright red, blue and yellow) look soooo pretty on you, too. Your videos always inspire me, thank you for making them 🥰✨
Kristina! I am a 68 year young woman and I never miss a single one of your videos. I wonder if you have ANY idea how much you inspire me. I loved your vulnerability in this video. You put yourself out there in such a beautiful and REAL way. ♥️ I totally plan to use the busted can of biscuits line. You are simply precious and I’m so proud of you!
Hope your able to rest and recuperate, burn out is not a fun feeling but taking care of yourself and having a break when you feel the need is great. Love your videos and look forward to watching whatever you create when your feeling up to it!
My color palette is very similar to yours, skin-tone and hair-color-wise. I shine when I’m wearing primary colors and black. I feel like I look best in blues, bright sunshine yellows, and true reds. Unfortunately my favorite colors are pinks and greens and I gravitate towards them even though they don’t suit me. This video was very eye opening to me in helping me realize I would benefit from letting go of some things in my wardrobe that wash me out.
You looked so lovely in almost everything you tired on! I think you made really good decisions on what to donate and what to keep. You take care of yourself, and just put out content as you are ready to!
I love your style and how beautiful your wardrobe is. ❤ also I love your hair! I love how you make your look vintage and strawberries reminds me of my favorite Strawberry Shortcake 80’s toys ❤❤ PS. if you even uploaded once every other month, you make high quality and beautiful videos with the length of a tv series so take your time ❤❤❤
I am 57 years old from Charlotte NC. I started watching your videos about 2 months ago. I really like your wardrobe clean out video. First of all, I own 2 dresses, 2 dresses to your thousands 😊. I love that you are just putting yourself out there. It is so helpful to others. I am and have always been a pants girl and cannot stand tight or "grabbing at me" clothes. I send you prayers to gather your thoughts and health and look forward to more of your content. ❤❤
Used the recent snow days to purge my closet too, and I feel so much more excited about getting dressed now. Your wardrobe is beautiful and I am glad it brings you joy.
I am so glad I found your channel because you have kept me company as I have folded laundry and stayed up last night with my sick 5 year old, and inspired me to look at my wardrobe in a different way and purge it this month. My weight has been the same for nearly 10 years, but after 2 kids I have to acknowledge my body shape has changed and that is okay. Thank you for your honesty and the beauty you exude, and compassion and inspiration you give us.
That's actually wild the way those 2 yellows made you look. That brighter yellow really brightened all of you. I need to figure out how to add more color to my wardrobe. Especially in winter I mostly wear black, navy.
I love the idea that we can be whoever we want with our wardrobe. I've always thought I was too big chested for cardigans, but seeing you wear them makes me question my thoughts. You look great in them! I think for too long I've just accepted whatever I find on sale at yard sales vs picking something I want. As a lower income household, you've reminded me that it matters that the world see us for who we are. Thank you Kristina!
I'm a winter too! I ALWAYS go for for the mustard yellow but now that you showed the more vibrant yellow I think im going to try that one too ! Love your style ❤
I'm really enjoying your channel - I like your healthy attitude concerning loving and caring for ourselves regardless of size. I'm 65 and have been wearing size 18 for most of my adult life - I'm fine with it. I recently saw well known actress around my age who lost a lot of weight - unfortunately, she looks terrible now - pasty complexion, she looks much older, worn out, sickly, she needs to gain about 25 lbs! In my thirties I lost 50 lbs - I thought I was lookin' good until my grandpa expressed concern and told me the truth - I looked awful, hair thinning, dry skin, to thin for my body type...I finally saw myself and stopped dieting. I began to look healthier, my hair looked so much better, I felt like myself again. Thanks for sharing your stories!
I hope you feel better soon. I’m a mum of two and I have really complicated feelings about my body at the moment. You are a real inspiration for me. Thank you ❤
I love so many things about this video. You have some lovely clothing - I especially liked some of the glittery and slinky pieces that look more 1970’s - they really look good on you! I think you’re right about the “Winter” season colors- red is definitely your color. I love your haircut and your positive comments about fashion being for everyone, I have a slightly different issue in that feeling like I’m too old and my face is aging and neck is saggy and that means I don’t deserve to wear pretty clothes. You have inspired me to change those thoughts. I will miss seeing you but I think the break will be good for you and pray that your health and well being will benefit from the time off❤Take care!
❤ Kristina ❤ THANK YOU! Im new to the channel, but you have inspired me SO much, you truly have no idea. You have given me inspiration and courage and a dash of confidence. I have always struggled with my self confidence and worth from childhood assault/abuse =adult trauma to adult abuse, from wearing childrens size 10 at 18 yrs old, eating disorders to medical issues and cancer (SURVIVOR) currently a tumor on my adrenal gland = excessive cortisol= extra weight and overweight now, I have grown my hair to my butt, litterally, because it "Covers me" and hides me away. At least I do have pretty hair 😊. I am a wife and a Momma of 3 (13, 6 and 4) and I have prayed for help and someone beautiful but not shoving their beauty in my face, and lo amd behold, I found your channel. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT and a kindness in your heart that flows to us. So, I have binge watched your channel since Ive found your channel, I love the Era's I love your style, I love you innocence, your humbleness AND CONFIDENCE! You're honest without arrogance. Thank you, from my Momma Heart and from my Woman Heart! God bless you and elevate you heyond your wildest dreams. You deserve it. YOU take care of YOU, knowing you have given tools to us to help us take care of us. We will keep working on us you work on you until youre ready.
Dear Kristina, love you and your channel you are inspiring to me. Your "sniffiness" (hope this is the correct word - I am not a native english speaker) reminds me a lot of myself a few years ago. I did almost never get better until I went to the doctor after a while who told me that I am allergic to the cats I got a few months before. I don't know for sure but if I recall correctly you have adopted your cats not too long ago So maybe you might be allergic to them? If thats an option maybe have a test done or try an allergy pill and see if it magically improves. Don't get me wrong: I still have my cats :) I just take the allergy pills and take a bit more care with cleaning.
You have such a beautiful wardrobe. I did the exact same thing this morning. Went through my entire wardrobe. I was exhausted from trying everything on. Haha. I hope you feel better soon and enjoy your down time. Looking forward to seeing you again in March.
If I could hit the like button 50 times then I would. I hate pointing just one part of the video that I like because I enjoyed it thoroughly from start to finish. However, the 34:00 mark talk through was so inspirational for me. I have needed to embrace my aging motherly body. I am going to take some notes. Like literally. I am going to rewatch and make myself some encouraging journal entries based on your sharing. 💕 Enjoy your break. I really connected with your over sharing on the internet on my channel. 😂 Thank you one thousand times for this video. 💖🥰🙌🙌🙌💃By the way, you’re absolutely gorgeous and so is your curated wardrobe.
I just discovered you on YT these last couple of months. And have to say I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your videos and look forward to you posting. But I do understand having to protect your mental health and energy. Your family is first most as you may already know and a full time job. I also struggle with depression and understand. It’s scary being vulnerable but it’s also a very good trait. Please know you’re beautiful inside and out. Thanks for being you and all that you share. I look forward to seeing you in March.👠🌺🍓🙏
Wow! That was a rather daunting project, but you succeeded! Great job! I did that a couple of years ago, and purged a lot of clothes that didn’t fit, or were worn out. I also found clothes that I forgot I had, including some that didn’t fit before, but now do. I don’t know exactly how many garments I discarded, but it was enough to empty a five foot long clothing rack! It’s probably time for me to repeat the process. I’m so sorry you’ve been ill! I will miss you while you are recovering, but will gladly wait for a new video until you are feeling better. I’m glad you are taking good care of yourself! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
You have some beautiful gowns/ dresses in your wardrobe, absolutely stunning. Some of those fabrics were to die for. I think you always look lovely in whatever you wear and think you would do very well as a stylist because of the way you present yourself. ❤🌸
Girl I about fell on the floor when u said a busted can of biscuits... It's good to see someone with similar body issues with a sense of humor. Btw I love your fashion sense
I felt so seen when you said you have sensory issues with clothes and just won’t wear things that are tight and itchy. I’m exactly the same way, especially on my legs, and have never met someone who has said this. Thank you! ❤
Thank you for making this video! You do put your heart and mind out into the ethernet, and we are grateful for that. 💕 love from Tucson 💕 BTW when I see the word trend on any video, I usually hit the “not interested” button. I do not care what the trend is…I wear what I think looks good on me rather than what society thinks should look good. I am a strong proponent of ‘you do you, and let me do me’.
It's so funny that you said you're missing just a very basic pair of jeans, because sssooo many of your tops I think would look super cute with just a pair of jeans 😂💕
Oh my word! You have a beautiful wardrobe of dresses. You look absolutely gorgeous in them!! I love love love your channel and your content. Take care of you. I will miss your videos. I find joy in your videos!!❤
Kristina! I just want to say how inspiring you are and how much we love your videos and the way you show your world with us, that said, just take care of yourself and do whatever needs doing for your own good, we will miss you and be here for you when you find the energy to get back here! Love and appreciate you lots!
YOUR HAIRCUT 😍❤ So beautiful friend! Glad you’ll be taking some time for yourself 🫶Thanks for sharing your insights, helps me feel better about my ever changing wardrobe and body ✨
1000% take care of yourself…you have a family that depends on you. We will be here when you are feeling good and able to create for us again. You have such great style and it was fun seeing all the different pieces you have curated over the years.🥰🥰🥰
Your collection is so beautiful…. Like a fashion museum, and you are a beautiful model for them❤️ love your aesthetic, but also your sweet creative heart!❤️
Love your style in clothes, beauty, and home decor. Your dresses are so precious. ❤️ The strawberry dress was very cute. You're very talented. Be your unique self, loving yourself and your body as you grow in your life. ❤
i so appreciate your transparency ❤ you have brought so much joy to this momma who is a SAHM who doesn't have a lot of time out of the house...(my choice) i understand completely that you need to take care of your mental and physical health...❤ that is important...i hope you find healing and peace in your absence from content creating...i will miss seeing your videos nut know that you as a person is more important than content creation...love you so much ❤️ sending love from Co
Congratulations on tackling your clothes - a daunting task and you did it! I was yelling at you about the toooo cute dress at 44:28! If it no longer fits when you try it on again later, make an apron out of it! Maybe a pinafore if there's enough material. I just got a dress from Temu that wasn't going to fit me right, but I adored the material and decided to do that. Your dress would make a darling apron - a way to save and use the fabric. Again, thank you for sharing your life, your thoughts, your wardrobe etc. Take care of yourself and we'll see you in the spring.
You are perfect the way you are. You are a wonderful mom and wife, that's all that matters. No judgements, just love and support for you, and your channel.
i found your channel recently and fell in love with the sweet calm energy you have. i hope that youre break is relieving and exactly what you need. take all the time you need dont be pressured to come back before youre ready. specifically about this video: i have a similar body type to yours and i love the way you treat yours with love and understanding
Your channel is wonderful, you teach us to respect ourselves ,our bodies and our thoughts, You don't play a movie, you show us the reality of your life ❤ thank u❤
Kristina you’re beautiful inside and out. Your channel makes me happy and calm. Grow but never change 🥰 Also, mother and I love choice of era/clothing style 💜🕊️ We’ve had the crud your battling from November until a little over a week ago. We had to finally go to the Doctor as it was settling in our bronchial tubes BAD!!! We both had to take two rounds of antibiotics and OTC Mucinex to get rid of it. We also, drank electrolytes, ate many oranges and chicken in many forms … chicken noodle soup, just chicken, bone broth chicken broth and more! Definitely wears a person down:( Feel better soon Kristina 💜🕊️
I'll start by saying that this video is beautiful. The music you've chosen, the little intermissions you've put in and the body positive conversation are all beautiful. I always say that us women should be building each other up and speaking kindly to each other , no matter whether we personally know someone or are commenting on a platform. ❤ I loved so many of today's items . I think it's a brilliant idea to take a video of trying our clothing , seeing how it moves and fits from an overall view instead of trying to twist our body in front of a mirror which doesn't give us the full view. You must've been exhausted trying on so many items like this. Great video , enjoy your break lovely and thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤
I'm going to miss your videos during your break but I'm so freaking proud of you for putting your well being first and doing what you need to do. I hope that your time off is healing and wonderful.
The high waisted jeans 👖 looked really good on you . I also loved those orange trousers so pretty. I am also plus size and you inspire me to work on my look . I will be praying that the lord heals you keeps you from getting sick and takes away your anxiety and depression. 🙏🏻🙏🏻your the best
I love your hair and you’re right about the colours that suit you. As a knitter, I would have got rid of the bobbly sweaters but they bring you joy so that’s great 🧡
I loved the dark green velvet dress with the gold swirl type pattern, that looks good really good on you. Take your time and get better, no worries, you take care and I look forward to when you come back.
That was a gargantuan effort to try on everything you own! I am more of a minimalist when it comes to clothes, even though I love to shop thrifted items and am starting to add me-made clothing more, too. I just tend to cull my stuff every season and don’t keep what I don’t wear often. Also, your haircut with the red lip is adorable! You look like Snow White! 🥰
Well, I came here to say I saw your post on youtube and wasn't watching the video (I don't usually watch the ones about clothes and or makeup) but take the time you need to rest and we will be here. I still say that!! BUT I'm definitely going to watch the video after reading everyone's comments. You are a light for us! Take what you need to feel better and take care of yourself, but know you have inspired many!
I swear I inherited that rainbow stripe buttondown in the early 90s (original to the 70s/80s), or that one is a very similar design. How wild 😅 Oh the shorter haircut is very cute!
#39:36 & the gold fringe, black & silver date night dresses w/ hubby for sure 👍 ❤. That was alot to go through 😅. I know that was tiring as I'm tired from watching lol. You did it though good job. I hope you do get some rest & feel better. Give yourself some grace. When I want my closet more airy I'll put half my wardrobe in a suitcase & when I get tired of what I have I switch it out it usually takes 6 months. Then when I open my stored clothing it's like all new outfits again. I also rotate what I wear items to the left I wear when I have worn it to the far right & then I can see what I actually want to keep & get rid of. I think you are losing weight & that's why you don't like alot of how things are fitting. Our body goes through a change close to a few years before or after 30. Definitely wear your sun dress every day & all summer long. They & you are beautiful in them all. Thanks for sharing 💕 always have a great V-day & when will your book come out?
Oh Kristina the Mum in me just wanted to reach out and hug you when I saw your sad face and tell you how beautiful and loved you are 🥺🥰 you are the most amazing Momma and friend to us all, please take the time you need to rest! We will miss your content but we have lots of videos to rewatch. Thank you for inspiring this 50 something chubby Mum/Grandma to look at getting some dresses to bring me joy. You looked absolutely ADORABLE! I was shouting at the tv which ones I loved 😂❤
your comment is like someone cradling your face lovingly and giving you a warming cup of tea or hot chocolate 🥰 i hope she reads it and feels that
I so agree. That’s what I was just typing. She’s a sweetheart. We older mamas just want to help and ease her heart ❤
Same for me❤❤❤
While we appreciate your openness, You are so right about it all. I do love your dresses. I just did the same project. I did not have the volume of clothes that you owned. I passed them to my daughter who kept what wanted. She donated the things that neither of us could not wear to a friend who provides clothing for ladies that are changing jobs or life circumstances. It made me so joyful. Now I will repeat when the seasons change. YOU ARE SO RIGHT! And I love your haircut!!❤❤
We love you😊
Being this vulnerable on camera is something else! Showing all the clothes, showing how it fits or doesn't fit on your body. Knowing that the world will be able to see it. I would not be able to do that. I think she's an amazing person.
I’m not even a quarter of the way through the video and I keep saying out loud “ooh, that’s so cute!!” Everything looks so good on you!!
I was saying the same. I loved a lot of her clothes, especially the dresses.
Me too!
same here 🙂
Yes
I love all your clothes, give me retro any day of the week. Where do you find them all. I love your videos. Take some time and get better.
I think you have a beautiful hour glass figure! And yea red looks great on you.. your clothe collection is amazing ..
Your haircut looks so fresh and cute!!
Don’t feel bad if needing to give yourself a rest.. we can all just have a With Love Kristina marathon while you are restoring your overall health! We will still be here..
Wow! 🎉 You’re doing it!! That was such a mammoth effort!! 💪🏽 Please take the time you need to heal and feel refreshed. Take your time and treat yourself kindly. When you are ready, we will be here to continue cheering anyone on in their goals!! ❤❤❤
Hang in there sweetheart! Love you.❤
Take the time your mind and body needs to heal. Will miss you but take care of yourself see you in March.
I'm 51 and it's taken me this long to discover I don't have a style. My style is wearing random eclectic clothes from day to day depending on how I feel. You wear your clothes proudly as everything I saw today was size appropriate and beautiful. Have a great break and be well. You're beautiful!
I totally have to do a sit down test when trying on clothing. Things fit much more snug when I am sitting, and I cannot stand wearing clothing that feels tight or restrictive.

I was sick from a week before Thanksgiving until mid-January. I've never been sick that long. I don't do content creation, but I entertained family, etc., and felt I had to keep a lot of traditions that I've done over the years. I cleaned like crazy, cooked like crazy, didn't rest properly, and made myself sick. Next year I'll be ordering food out and taking it a lot easier!. I'm glad you're going to take a break, and I look very forward to seeing another video in March. xoxo
Mee too ! Next year I'm also using paper plates 😅 I'm just tired of washing and washing. I don't have a dishwasher 😅
Ggiirrll you are a breath of fresh air 🥹✨ thanks for bringing us along while you do these things, and modelling being kind to yourself at the same time 💖
I absolutely love all your videos, and your humor is amazing, and the fact that you're being truthful and honest to yourself and your style is beautiful 😊
I agree ✨
5:24 yess i totally see it! i think you’re a Winter, specifically a Bright Winter - bc those bright cool tones look amazing on you, as does dark/black hair! 💛
Trying on clothes is exhausting. Kuddos to you for getting it done! I am so sorry you are struggling with burnout. Please take the time you need!! I, for one, will be here whenever you are ready to come back! HUGS!!
Oh the new haircut! 🤩 I LOVE it! ❤🍓

soooo grateful to my body for carrying my four babies!! hope you feel better soon, pretty lady!
Thank you for being open and honest about your feelings about your body and your wardrobe. You are incredibly brave being vulnerable and putting yourself out there on the Internet. But I think your video will help a lot of people be kinder to themselves regarding their body image. I think you looked amazing and gorgeous in so many of your outfits! You have great taste.

You look amazing in red especially with red and black together. Watching your channel has helped me to purge my wardrobe and a lot of things in my house. I now have about 1/4 of the clothes and shoes I had.
You should make that pink strawberry sweater into a pillow! It’s so cute.

Clothing that I have outside of work is just casual comfortable clothes that suit my style and I do laundry twice a week so I do not need tons of clothes to get me through to laundry day. It makes life so simple and it clears up so much closet space.
I’m so glad you find joy in being minimal with your wardrobe! That is great!
Way less fun though.
@WithLoveKristina it's me Ana I just am finishing up watchin this video U made an U look Sooo Dang Adorable. I love alot of ur Pretty Dresses an the 2nd pair of Jeans U put on wit that Red Tank Top U had on an the Red Lipstick wit Ur Kute an Sassy hairkut makes U look Really really pretty.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I am working on decluttering my wardrobe as well. Today I managed to rid myself of two turtlenecks that do not fit any longer. My body has changed tremendously as I have aged and many things just do not fit properly any more. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. I am a winter as well.
That was so fun to see your clothes. So many unique and stunning pieces. Especially your cardigans and dresses. You've inspired me to look out for cardigans. Take the time you need. We will still be here.
This was sooo helpful to me. I’ve put off tackling all the extra clothes in my closet. I don’t know that I will try everything on but your advice about does it bring you joy regardless of how it looks. I’m hoping to start this process tomorrow thanks to you.
Oh your hair looks great☺️👍😘🥰
I have lost 135 pounds and I realize it doesn't matter what size we are it's how we feel and I love your videos because you put that across
This has inspired me to think more carefully about my own wardrobe. Also. your new haircut looks AMAZING!!!
My 2 year old daughter saw part of the video and she spontaneously said to me "the lady is pretty" I wanted to share this with you because I found it so cute. Take care of yourself.
Love from France 💖
You are literally one of the most beautiful people I have ever seen! I promise I am not a creep lol, it is just the truth! The really bold basic colors (bright red, blue and yellow) look soooo pretty on you, too. Your videos always inspire me, thank you for making them 🥰✨
Kristina! I am a 68 year young woman and I never miss a single one of your videos. I wonder if you have ANY idea how much you inspire me. I loved your vulnerability in this video. You put yourself out there in such a beautiful and REAL way. ♥️ I totally plan to use the busted can of biscuits line. You are simply precious and I’m so proud of you!
Commenting as I watch! I am OBSESSED with the red cardigan with the embroidered sunflowers!!! 🌻 😍😍😍
Hope your able to rest and recuperate, burn out is not a fun feeling but taking care of yourself and having a break when you feel the need is great. Love your videos and look forward to watching whatever you create when your feeling up to it!
I love your wardrobe, Kristina! I can truly say that you know how to dress your body and know what silhouettes flatter your figure. I'm jealous!
My color palette is very similar to yours, skin-tone and hair-color-wise. I shine when I’m wearing primary colors and black. I feel like I look best in blues, bright sunshine yellows, and true reds. Unfortunately my favorite colors are pinks and greens and I gravitate towards them even though they don’t suit me. This video was very eye opening to me in helping me realize I would benefit from letting go of some things in my wardrobe that wash me out.
Thanks!
You looked so lovely in almost everything you tired on! I think you made really good decisions on what to donate and what to keep. You take care of yourself, and just put out content as you are ready to!
I love your style and how beautiful your wardrobe is. ❤ also I love your hair! I love how you make your look vintage and strawberries reminds me of my favorite Strawberry Shortcake 80’s toys ❤❤
PS. if you even uploaded once every other month, you make high quality and beautiful videos with the length of a tv series so take your time ❤❤❤
I am 57 years old from Charlotte NC. I started watching your videos about 2 months ago. I really like your wardrobe clean out video. First of all, I own 2 dresses, 2 dresses to your thousands 😊. I love that you are just putting yourself out there. It is so helpful to others. I am and have always been a pants girl and cannot stand tight or "grabbing at me" clothes. I send you prayers to gather your thoughts and health and look forward to more of your content. ❤❤
Used the recent snow days to purge my closet too, and I feel so much more excited about getting dressed now. Your wardrobe is beautiful and I am glad it brings you joy.
I am so glad I found your channel because you have kept me company as I have folded laundry and stayed up last night with my sick 5 year old, and inspired me to look at my wardrobe in a different way and purge it this month. My weight has been the same for nearly 10 years, but after 2 kids I have to acknowledge my body shape has changed and that is okay. Thank you for your honesty and the beauty you exude, and compassion and inspiration you give us.
That's actually wild the way those 2 yellows made you look. That brighter yellow really brightened all of you. I need to figure out how to add more color to my wardrobe. Especially in winter I mostly wear black, navy.
I love the idea that we can be whoever we want with our wardrobe. I've always thought I was too big chested for cardigans, but seeing you wear them makes me question my thoughts. You look great in them! I think for too long I've just accepted whatever I find on sale at yard sales vs picking something I want. As a lower income household, you've reminded me that it matters that the world see us for who we are. Thank you Kristina!
I'm a winter too! I ALWAYS go for for the mustard yellow but now that you showed the more vibrant yellow I think im going to try that one too ! Love your style ❤
I'm really enjoying your channel - I like your healthy attitude concerning loving and caring for ourselves regardless of size. I'm 65 and have been wearing size 18 for most of my adult life - I'm fine with it. I recently saw well known actress around my age who lost a lot of weight - unfortunately, she looks terrible now - pasty complexion, she looks much older, worn out, sickly, she needs to gain about 25 lbs! In my thirties I lost 50 lbs - I thought I was lookin' good until my grandpa expressed concern and told me the truth - I looked awful, hair thinning, dry skin, to thin for my body type...I finally saw myself and stopped dieting. I began to look healthier, my hair looked so much better, I felt like myself again. Thanks for sharing your stories!
I hope you feel better soon. I’m a mum of two and I have really complicated feelings about my body at the moment. You are a real inspiration for me. Thank you ❤
I love so many things about this video. You have some lovely clothing - I especially liked some of the glittery and slinky pieces that look more 1970’s - they really look good on you! I think you’re right about the “Winter” season colors- red is definitely your color. I love your haircut and your positive comments about fashion being for everyone, I have a slightly different issue in that feeling like I’m too old and my face is aging and neck is saggy and that means I don’t deserve to wear pretty clothes. You have inspired me to change those thoughts. I will miss seeing you but I think the break will be good for you and pray that your health and well being will benefit from the time off❤Take care!
I think the mustard yellow shirt with the flowers looks really cute on you
❤ Kristina ❤ THANK YOU! Im new to the channel, but you have inspired me SO much, you truly have no idea. You have given me inspiration and courage and a dash of confidence. I have always struggled with my self confidence and worth from childhood assault/abuse =adult trauma to adult abuse, from wearing childrens size 10 at 18 yrs old, eating disorders to medical issues and cancer (SURVIVOR) currently a tumor on my adrenal gland = excessive cortisol= extra weight and overweight now, I have grown my hair to my butt, litterally, because it "Covers me" and hides me away. At least I do have pretty hair 😊. I am a wife and a Momma of 3 (13, 6 and 4) and I have prayed for help and someone beautiful but not shoving their beauty in my face, and lo amd behold, I found your channel. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT and a kindness in your heart that flows to us. So, I have binge watched your channel since Ive found your channel, I love the Era's I love your style, I love you innocence, your humbleness AND CONFIDENCE! You're honest without arrogance. Thank you, from my Momma Heart and from my Woman Heart! God bless you and elevate you heyond your wildest dreams. You deserve it.
YOU take care of YOU, knowing you have given tools to us to help us take care of us. We will keep working on us you work on you until youre ready.
Dear Kristina, love you and your channel you are inspiring to me. Your "sniffiness" (hope this is the correct word - I am not a native english speaker) reminds me a lot of myself a few years ago. I did almost never get better until I went to the doctor after a while who told me that I am allergic to the cats I got a few months before. I don't know for sure but if I recall correctly you have adopted your cats not too long ago So maybe you might be allergic to them? If thats an option maybe have a test done or try an allergy pill and see if it magically improves. Don't get me wrong: I still have my cats :) I just take the allergy pills and take a bit more care with cleaning.
You have such a beautiful wardrobe. I did the exact same thing this morning. Went through my entire wardrobe. I was exhausted from trying everything on. Haha. I hope you feel better soon and enjoy your down time. Looking forward to seeing you again in March.
If I could hit the like button 50 times then I would. I hate pointing just one part of the video that I like because I enjoyed it thoroughly from start to finish. However, the 34:00 mark talk through was so inspirational for me. I have needed to embrace my aging motherly body. I am going to take some notes. Like literally. I am going to rewatch and make myself some encouraging journal entries based on your sharing. 💕 Enjoy your break. I really connected with your over sharing on the internet on my channel. 😂 Thank you one thousand times for this video. 💖🥰🙌🙌🙌💃By the way, you’re absolutely gorgeous and so is your curated wardrobe.
I love cardigans, too, and am a winter. I call one little closet my Mr. Roger’s closet, where I keep most of my cardigans. 😄
I just discovered you on YT these last couple of months. And have to say I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your videos and look forward to you posting. But I do understand having to protect your mental health and energy. Your family is first most as you may already know and a full time job. I also struggle with depression and understand. It’s scary being vulnerable but it’s also a very good trait. Please know you’re beautiful inside and out. Thanks for being you and all that you share. I look forward to seeing you in March.👠🌺🍓🙏
Wow! That was a rather daunting project, but you succeeded! Great job! I did that a couple of years ago, and purged a lot of clothes that didn’t fit, or were worn out. I also found clothes that I forgot I had, including some that didn’t fit before, but now do. I don’t know exactly how many garments I discarded, but it was enough to empty a five foot long clothing rack! It’s probably time for me to repeat the process.
I’m so sorry you’ve been ill! I will miss you while you are recovering, but will gladly wait for a new video until you are feeling better. I’m glad you are taking good care of yourself! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
I need to do that. I have a lot of clothes, too. I’m older (post menopause) and have gained some weight. Your clothes look so pretty on you!
You have some beautiful gowns/ dresses in your wardrobe, absolutely stunning. Some of those fabrics were to die for. I think you always look lovely in whatever you wear and think you would do very well as a stylist because of the way you present yourself. ❤🌸
Girl I about fell on the floor when u said a busted can of biscuits... It's good to see someone with similar body issues with a sense of humor. Btw I love your fashion sense
I felt so seen when you said you have sensory issues with clothes and just won’t wear things that are tight and itchy. I’m exactly the same way, especially on my legs, and have never met someone who has said this. Thank you! ❤
Thank you for making this video! You do put your heart and mind out into the ethernet, and we are grateful for that. 💕 love from Tucson 💕
BTW when I see the word trend on any video, I usually hit the “not interested” button. I do not care what the trend is…I wear what I think looks good on me rather than what society thinks should look good. I am a strong proponent of ‘you do you, and let me do me’.
You have become a true inspiration to me!
It's so funny that you said you're missing just a very basic pair of jeans, because sssooo many of your tops I think would look super cute with just a pair of jeans 😂💕
Oh my word! You have a beautiful wardrobe of dresses. You look absolutely gorgeous in them!! I love love love your channel and your content. Take care of you. I will miss your videos. I find joy in your videos!!❤
So glad your keeping the orange pants! The style looks great on you!!
Kristina! I just want to say how inspiring you are and how much we love your videos and the way you show your world with us, that said, just take care of yourself and do whatever needs doing for your own good, we will miss you and be here for you when you find the energy to get back here! Love and appreciate you lots!
YOUR HAIRCUT 😍❤ So beautiful friend! Glad you’ll be taking some time for yourself 🫶Thanks for sharing your insights, helps me feel better about my ever changing wardrobe and body ✨
What immediately draws my eye is how extra you glow in bright jewel tones.
1000% take care of yourself…you have a family that depends on you. We will be here when you are feeling good and able to create for us again. You have such great style and it was fun seeing all the different pieces you have curated over the years.🥰🥰🥰
Your collection is so beautiful…. Like a fashion museum, and you are a beautiful model for them❤️ love your aesthetic, but also your sweet creative heart!❤️
Love your style in clothes, beauty, and home decor.
Your dresses are so precious. ❤️ The strawberry dress was very cute.
You're very talented.
Be your unique self, loving yourself and your body as you grow in your life. ❤
I’ve needed this video for the entirety of 2024. Thank you for a boost in motivation!
i so appreciate your transparency ❤ you have brought so much joy to this momma who is a SAHM who doesn't have a lot of time out of the house...(my choice) i understand completely that you need to take care of your mental and physical health...❤ that is important...i hope you find healing and peace in your absence from content creating...i will miss seeing your videos nut know that you as a person is more important than content creation...love you so much ❤️ sending love from Co
Congratulations on tackling your clothes - a daunting task and you did it! I was yelling at you about the toooo cute dress at 44:28! If it no longer fits when you try it on again later, make an apron out of it! Maybe a pinafore if there's enough material. I just got a dress from Temu that wasn't going to fit me right, but I adored the material and decided to do that. Your dress would make a darling apron - a way to save and use the fabric. Again, thank you for sharing your life, your thoughts, your wardrobe etc. Take care of yourself and we'll see you in the spring.
You are perfect the way you are. You are a wonderful mom and wife, that's all that matters. No judgements, just love and support for you, and your channel.
i found your channel recently and fell in love with the sweet calm energy you have. i hope that youre break is relieving and exactly what you need. take all the time you need dont be pressured to come back before youre ready.
specifically about this video: i have a similar body type to yours and i love the way you treat yours with love and understanding
Your channel is wonderful, you teach us to respect ourselves ,our bodies and our thoughts, You don't play a movie, you show us the reality of your life ❤ thank u❤
Kristina you’re beautiful inside and out. Your channel makes me happy and calm.
Grow but never change 🥰
Also, mother and I love choice of era/clothing style 💜🕊️
We’ve had the crud your battling from November until a little over a week ago. We had to finally go to the Doctor as it was settling in our bronchial tubes BAD!!! We both had to take two rounds of antibiotics and OTC Mucinex to get rid of it. We also, drank electrolytes, ate many oranges and chicken in many forms … chicken noodle soup, just chicken, bone broth chicken broth and more! Definitely wears a person down:( Feel better soon Kristina 💜🕊️
I'll start by saying that this video is beautiful. The music you've chosen, the little intermissions you've put in and the body positive conversation are all beautiful. I always say that us women should be building each other up and speaking kindly to each other , no matter whether we personally know someone or are commenting on a platform. ❤
I loved so many of today's items . I think it's a brilliant idea to take a video of trying our clothing , seeing how it moves and fits from an overall view instead of trying to twist our body in front of a mirror which doesn't give us the full view. You must've been exhausted trying on so many items like this. Great video , enjoy your break lovely and thanks for sharing ❤❤❤❤
Hope you feel better soon.🌻💜🌻
Always love your videos! ❤
Thank you!
I'm going to miss your videos during your break but I'm so freaking proud of you for putting your well being first and doing what you need to do. I hope that your time off is healing and wonderful.
I love all your casual videos, but then again I love all your videos! Take as much time as you need. You come first. ❤️
The high waisted jeans 👖 looked really good on you . I also loved those orange trousers so pretty. I am also plus size and you inspire me to work on my look . I will be praying that the lord heals you keeps you from getting sick and takes away your anxiety and depression. 🙏🏻🙏🏻your the best
39:19 oh my goodness this is my favourite item from your wardrobe, it's absolutely dreamy! So many pretty things, I loved watching this video ❤
I'm with you on the sensory issues but opposite - not a sweater or cardigan in sight here, no way!
I love your hair and you’re right about the colours that suit you. As a knitter, I would have got rid of the bobbly sweaters but they bring you joy so that’s great 🧡
Oh my heart. At 40 min in, is that a green velvet dress?? LOVE 😍😍😍
38:30 omg 😍 I hope you take that dress out for a spin this year !! 🎉
I loved the dark green velvet dress with the gold swirl type pattern, that looks good really good on you. Take your time and get better, no worries, you take care and I look forward to when you come back.
That was a gargantuan effort to try on everything you own! I am more of a minimalist when it comes to clothes, even though I love to shop thrifted items and am starting to add me-made clothing more, too. I just tend to cull my stuff every season and don’t keep what I don’t wear often. Also, your haircut with the red lip is adorable! You look like Snow White! 🥰
Your b-roll is getting more and more beautiful 💜
Well, I came here to say I saw your post on youtube and wasn't watching the video (I don't usually watch the ones about clothes and or makeup) but take the time you need to rest and we will be here. I still say that!! BUT I'm definitely going to watch the video after reading everyone's comments. You are a light for us! Take what you need to feel better and take care of yourself, but know you have inspired many!
I absolutely LOVED the LEAF dress you made! Beautiful!
I swear I inherited that rainbow stripe buttondown in the early 90s (original to the 70s/80s), or that one is a very similar design. How wild 😅
Oh the shorter haircut is very cute!
Gosh, what beautiful dresses and cardigans! You look so fantastic in red! I hope you get a good rest, and love all that you do ❤
#39:36 & the gold fringe, black & silver date night dresses w/ hubby for sure 👍 ❤. That was alot to go through 😅. I know that was tiring as I'm tired from watching lol. You did it though good job. I hope you do get some rest & feel better. Give yourself some grace. When I want my closet more airy I'll put half my wardrobe in a suitcase & when I get tired of what I have I switch it out it usually takes 6 months. Then when I open my stored clothing it's like all new outfits again. I also rotate what I wear items to the left I wear when I have worn it to the far right & then I can see what I actually want to keep & get rid of. I think you are losing weight & that's why you don't like alot of how things are fitting. Our body goes through a change close to a few years before or after 30. Definitely wear your sun dress every day & all summer long. They & you are beautiful in them all. Thanks for sharing 💕 always have a great V-day & when will your book come out?
I **loved** this video so much. This is my coziest of content; thank you for bringing us along!
