Shoes are an absolute pain for me, literally as I have flat feet. I am a UK size 2 and this means I can sometimes get kids shoes, which usually are up to a size 7, which is good because a lot of styles are suitable for women these days, if anybody what’s to save money there. You can get the same shoes as the women’s version but at a fraction of the price thanks to the mini me trend.
Have you ever had insoles made for your shoes? It can be a game changer.
@ I will have to try them I think, that would be very helpful 😊. Do you have any recommendations of shoe brands which do comfortable but nice shoes? I can’t do heels but ankle boots, sneakers and Mary Jane’s I can do. I purchase designer brands usually because they do small sizes. Edited to add, are Stuart Weitzman true to size and are they comfortable?
I love how the colours in your closet behind you follows the colours you are wearing in this video. Lovely wardrobe colour palette!
Thanks Janita!
I know my colours ànd my style but I still bought a pair of trousers in burgundy as they were on sale and an on trend colour a few months ago! You were right when you said if we are having to try styling them just so we'll wear them they're not for us. I'm a neutral person but I like a touch of red, baby pink and baby blue so they will be donated 😂
Even when we know our style and what we like, we can still get caught up in trends or something being on sale.

Thank you Erica, always brilliant advice. I have recently introduced more subtle patterns into my monochrome/solid colour outfits, I have bought a couple of striped tops from Massimo Dutti and I always buy neckties and scarves when I see a small muted pattern I like, they don't have to be expensive, for example I have bandanas in brown, grey, blue, etc. and they're just 99p. In the UK I found some lovely winter scarves in Primark, which is probably one of our cheapest stores. I don't buy anything from them apart from these scarves, hair accessories, make-up and basic T shirts, they're surprisingly good and very reasonably priced. But other than that I don't buy rubbish quality cheap clothing anymore, for example apart from denim, I find H&M really rubbishy and I'm even cautious about the usually good quality Marks & Spencer's because they've brought out the odd poor quality item lately and now I'm very careful to check the composition of every sweater and if something is not up to scratch, I return it immediately. It's sad to see previously reputable brands go downhill or the fast fashion route.
Massimo Dutti is my go-to shop these days, it's owned by the company that owns Zara and is a more elevated version of Zara. Zara and Massimo Dutti made some great quality suede jackets this fall/winter 2024, compared to Cos or Arket or Veronica Beard they were very reasonably priced and I'm glad I invested in a couple of them, the cut is very classic and they'll last me forever.
I put on weight recently, about half a stone so I'm working on losing it in time for spring-summer, it's so frustrating. I'm very petite and I only have to sniff at food to put on weight immediately. I no longer fit into most of my tailored clothes and jeans apart from denim skirts and wide leg jeans, really annoyed with myself.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment! Try and be kind to yourself. For many of us, our weight fluctuates (especially right after the holidays). I know the feeling of not being able to fit into clothes that you once loved. Getting older definitely did that to me, and it took me a long time to let go of those pieces that I once loved.
Love all of these tips. #8 is what I'm focused on right now. I'm on a budget and saving for a couple really big life goals, so shopping Quince, etc. isn't an option at the moment. But I work FT in an office and really want to upgrade my basics and move into that QL closet mode. I do find the occasional fabulous QL basic at Marshalls/TJMx and it's always a thrill when that happens for $20-30!
Thank you for your comment!
Can you do a episode on styling what's on your closet
Thanks for your question Sharon!
I have several videos where I share how I "shop" and style my closet-

Let me know if this is what you're looking for or if you'd like to see something else? ❤
Thanks Erica!
Top notch! 🙂
Thanks Marianne!
Ugh just checked the dates! I will be out of the country that week. 😩 will you be giving the free course at another time?
Thanks for your question Debbie! I hope you are going somewhere fun. People will be joining from all over the world. So if you have internet access, you should still be able to join. But if you can't, everyone who signs up will receive the replay to watch for a limited time. However, if you aren't able to join live you won't get my Brand Guide by Personal Style. ❤
Sometimes I am looking for certain style or color and I con’t find.
I feel the same way. I wish I could design my own clothes 😉
Can't hear your common-sense advice often enough! It's just so easy to be tempted when shopping - before I go in a store, I tell myself, "Don't buy junk! Don't buy something that's not right for you! You don't have to buy something to justify the trip!" It helps - sometimes!
I think that's a smart tip to remind yourself before you shop Mary. Thanks for sharing!
