I agree. Great saying, that the clothes must work for me. Wish I had always followed that rule!! The cream blazer does work well with a skirt💯 Enjoyed this....thanks Marleen🥰
I love your plan! I wait weeks for something to be restocked then it arrives and I look at it and realize I might have something extremely similar and back to the store it goes. I am glad to hear. I’m not the only one.
Brilliant way of analysing possible purchases Marleen! That cream blazer is to die for on you!!! I have been looking for one and I can already see how, assuming it fits me, it would be an asset to my wardrobe. It should look amazing with that brown satin skirt you ordered! The only time I'm willing to "work for my clothes" is if : 1- it's a one time fix (hem, a change of buttons, etc) and 2- it's a bargain (for me that usually means secondhand). Anything else is a no. So annoying those pinstripe pants are so short! I hate to think how they would look on my 1m78 frame! 😱 I agree with you on the burgundy dress; the cream one makes you glow, the burgundy just drags you down.
Good advice! I have something I grabbed on sale over the holidays that I should have returned. It would not have passed your test. Fortunately it was very inexpensive. But I wasn’t looking for another top to wear only in the house.
Hi Marleen, the cream blazer looks absolutely amazing on you.....I will definitely see if I can find it on H&M's website......Give Lucy a cuddle for me!!! ❤ TFS
You are looking really well Marleen and i love your process for bringing new pieces into your wardrobe. Im going to try using them them on the items i wear around the house because i realise that some of them are well past decency and i should get back to having 3-4 outfits in rotation that i wont be embarrassed by if someone calls in. Thanks for the video. You rdally suit the colour burgandy 😊😊
I love that cream blazer too and it really looked good on you. Thank you for this video. What I need to do now is go through my clothes and declutter what I don't like or doesn't fit. And put those same criteria in keeping what is perfect. I wish HM would get that beautiful cream dress back in, I would love to try it on to see if it would fit me.
Agree with you, the cream h/m dress looks much better, than it does in the wine /burgundy color. I was debating to buy the burgundy one, but I won’t (I knew it deep down, doesn’t have same appeal. Love how you styled the cream one.
I agree with everything bar the trousers at the minute I can’t find wide leg/bootcut without altering. Or sorting shoes. I have got some jeans that luckily will look ok not hemmed so I’ve just cut the bottom off. I adore that burgundy jumper and the front pocket jeans
Altering is always an option and if we love a piece enough I’m always in favour of altering. I personally rarely actually get things altered hence why I’d rather return than having things hanging in my wardrobe x
Marlene the cream blazer looked fabu!ous on you. I've just checked H&M website and only have very small or 20/22's will check back again in a while and hope they restock. Great video with some great tips ❤❤
If In doubt , leave it out , mum in laws words never let me down ! Love the cream jacket , would look good with the chocolate brown slinky skirt you are buying xxx
Potentially but that defeats the whole purpose of what I’m talking about in the video, I don’t want to work to get clothes to fit me. Clothes work for me.
You make some really interesting points. Love the striped trousers. I’m not fond of the cream jacket as it looks like the tunic my dentist wears unfortunately.

Thank you Rose x
This is exactly what you have taught me by watching your videos
I agree 100 %
Thank you Marleen your advice has been invaluable ❤
It’s my pleasure and so happy to help x
Thank-you thank-you thank-you! I needed this SO BAD. I have so much stuff to get rid of.
Happy to help x
Cream Blaser fantastic ❤
Thank you
That cream blazer is just gorgeous, Marleen! You look lovely in it, and I think the skirt looked so nice with it as well!👍❤️
Uh I just wasn’t sure about the skirt but I will try the other ones I have too. Thank you x
Agreed, it was fab with the skirt!
Do love and agree the clothes need to work for you
It’s it not your body that’s the problem it’s the clothes!!
There are so many options for us out there that we shouldn’t have to work to get the clothes fitting for us x
@@ImjustmeMarleen absolutely though it is about learning what works for us. I appreciate your knowledge sharing.
Absolutely and sharing what I know is my favourite thing to do. It’s getting it in to a cohesive video that’s the hard part lol
The blazer looks great on you. Love the tie waist detail.
Yes me too. That’s why I love it so much x
What a brilliant idea Marlene. Definitely going to try this tomorrow. Love the cream Blazer on you. Xx
Thank you very much x
I love your plan! I wait weeks for something to be restocked then it arrives and I look at it and realize I might have something extremely similar and back to the store it goes. I am glad to hear. I’m not the only one.
Nope we all do it Lissy, just glad you return as many of us simply shove it in the wardrobe and forget all about it

Ah I was so sad about the dress, had so looked forward to it but I’ve tried it and it’s out of my system now lol x

Well if too late to return maybe it can be used for something else xx

Where are trousers from please
Which ones? But do check out my ltk shop on the ltk app. I link pieces over there.

I love your rule about clothes needing to be perfect. I have taken your advice and will no longer buy clothes that are not perfect for me!!!!!
That’s my girl 👏👏
Thanks, I been wanting to go through my closet. There are things I have not worn in months maybe years.
Always a good idea to have a clear out x
I have the pinstriped trousers, they are great in cold weather! Great pockets also! Of course I am 5'4".
They are amazing. So bummed the navy are so much shorter than my black ones
Love the cream jacket with the beige bootcut pants AND you are looking so good, it really defines your waist❤
Thank you Miranda x

Another great video. I really like the pinstripe trousers on you, could you take the hem down perhaps? ❤
