One time I was wearing heels so high I couldn't cross the street in time. My then boyfriend stood in the intersection like a traffic cop and held his hand out yelling "Stop in the name of fashion!"
@NB: 😊
🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂
The best story!!!
Omg…can’t stop laughing
I’ve never heard of “cost per wear.” I like how that works out. That is a great piece of advice. TY
I wore my classic linen blazer at least twice a week for ten years. Cost per wear was penny s
Been doing that for a long time; my husband; then boyfriend taught me this theory! M in my 70 s now
Love this video, love her humor, Love the picture of the DOG example!!!! She has a lot of good tips, that make sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with the ‘overdress’ theory. When offices went business casual, I still dressed up. Not every day, but still wore skirts, jackets and dresses. If someone commented, I would say “ now no one knows when I’m interviewing”
Do we really live in a world where skirts, jackets, and dresses are considered “overdressed” in a professional environment? 😐
Coco Chanel said it was better to be exceptionally underdressed than inappropriately overdressed 🤷♀️ I always overdress, though 😊
If I could actually find no show socks that didn’t end up slipping down my heel that would be great. Last time I wore some they slipped and I ended up with blisters ….pass
Same. It's really annoying.
Do you have Muji in your country? Maybe you can try their socks. The best I’ve found so far.
I found some either at Walmart or Target but they have 2 little squiggles of silicone in the back and they work great.
@@drauglynn thanks. I’ll have to try them!
@@User-vz4xm I’ve never heard of them. I’m sure amazon has them
Love how completely human and thoroughly humorous you are …all while being uber practical and helpful. Appreciate all your fashion insights, tips, and tricks.
❤️❤️❤️ glad you liked it, Eilisa!
The cost per wear point has definitely given me food for thought! That is definitely something I need to consider going forward
Many years ago, I was working as a costumed character at a renaissance festival. Another performer had appointed herself as "fashion police" and was pointing out the faux pas of various patrons. She indicated with scorn a rather large woman who had chosen a halter and shorts in response to the Texas heat, displaying all her glorious love handles and rolls for the world to see. Instead of agreeing as my colleague expected, I responded, "Actually, I'm a little envious of anyone who is either that contemptuous of or oblivious to public opinion. My hat's off to her!" Bottom line, why do we even care what someone else looks like? As for the visible bra straps, panty lines, or (horrors!) socks, it's hardly a state secret that I'm wearing said garments. If someone is offended by the visual evidence, it's not my problem or concern.
Such a great response! I can resonate with dressing for the humid heat ❤️ I don't think anyone gets offended by your bra strap as that would be ridiculous, but it's more so a distraction from you, what you have to say, your personality, or even the outfit you put together.
@@ANNAREID29 I'm a cantankerous old lady. Perhaps the more distraction from my personality, the better! 😉🤣 Jokes aside, you seem like a lovely young lady. Best wishes to you.
@@j.s.matlock1456 lol you sound like a hoot ❤️❤️❤️
As long as they keep the clothes PG13, I won't mind. I don't want my young kids to see things that loose wiener complete with a pair of wrinkled nuts in public and be traumatized for life. Or maybe you would categorize them as flasher? Or exhibitionist?
I guess it comes down to good taste,either you care or you dont
I have never worn shoes that I couldn’t walk in. Growing up the advice my grandmother gave me was to never buy a pair of shoes you can’t run in!
I love wearing a sock pop with a sneaker 🙃 intentional socks can be so fun.
I am guilty of all of these, but trying to improve. The other things you've mentioned on previous videos are not wearing things that are stained, missing buttons, faded or pilling, stretched out or that have yellow underarm stains. People notice. Fix them or get rid of them! Great tips!
Yes those too!! ❤️❤️
Yellow under arms … yup !!!!!
😄 I didn't need a video for the things you mentioned! But the things covered here are helpful, especially the panty line tip!
I have a messed up foot (17 operations and total reconstruction) and cannot wear any kind of dress shoes. I was in tears trying to find shoes for my wedding, until my husband both had a moment and said ‘Chuck Taylor high tops’ at the same time. We both wore them (him black and me white) and had a blast - people in Las Vegas thought we were an art exhibit. Now my son is getting married on the beach in Cancun and nobody needs to see my deformed foot, so I bought bright pink Chuck Taylors to match my dress. My husband is wearing his Chucks in support of me! Is not fashionable, but it’s fun and gets people talking.
That’s a beautiful story. Your husband sounds very supportive, thank you for sharing🙏🏽
Love this! Thanks Anna!
Other fashion mistakes?
Throwing most clothes, bras especially, in the OMG the dryer. I hand wash a lot, and my bras get a quick soak in the bathroom sink every night.
Wire hangers. Hangers that wreck the shoulders of your tops, jackets, knits, coats...
Not considering your proportions. I'm 5'2" and I am super careful about the length of tops, jackets, and dresses. I tuck in, a lot. And, as you point out in another video, cropped and capris, especially those that are baggy, just nooooooooooooooooo.
Buying things that are too small because one day you will fit into them. While you might be able to diet and exercise your way into it, you might find that it doesn't flatter your new shape or is not your (new) style, or is out of style. I lost 130 pounds during Lockdownia (which was long here in Canada) and I am constantly giving away stuff I bought (mostly on sale) a year ago because it really doesn't do a thing for me. (I was bored. I watched a lot of influencers and shopped online and on eBay wayyyyyyyyy too much.)
Not getting a cobbler to put rubber soles/heels on shoes and boots. So many shoes have plastic soles and/or heels which are slippery and dangerous. Also, footwear lasts longer.
Not taking advantage of belts to finish an outfit or cinch in your waist to give you shape or to make your legs look longer.
Too many colours. Stick to three.
Too much. Too many accessories and add-ons. Back when I was a girl -- I'm 71 -- my Mom and aunts followed the rule of 7. They'd add up "points" for their outfits: one for the dress, one if it had a print or was bright, one for a hat, one more if it was a major hat (we had milliners in the day), one for shoes, one more if they were a bright colour, one for a bag, one for discreet jewelry, one for more than two pieces of jewelry.... etc. When you hit 7, you had to take stuff off.
And I totally agree with dressing for the occasion. You will have more confidence. People respect people who seem to respect themselves. We have become such a sloppy society and I think it's affected how we function as a society. Call me old-fashioned but ...
What great advice 👏. Thank you
This is so great! I hope every person reads this! ❤️❤️❤️
Buying something smaller just because you think it will fit one day - OMG I'm so guilty of that hahaha!
@@sandrakayzie4279 We all are. It's in the female DNA.
Congrats on losing 130lbs! Your advice is great and I agree that us Canadians generally dress sloppily (much to my disappointment).
Things in life that make me super happy: dogs, good food with good company, making memories, seeing middle aged-older folks dress themselves like they are still trying to follow good fashion! The example of the older woman wearing the colorful pink button up, bootleg trousers, and clutch… omg. You go girl! So cute and inspiring.
I looove the idea of your clothes making the statement of who you are, the outside representing and showing who you are on the inside. I have worked hard these last couple of years to create a sophisticated, kind, intelligent and effortless wardrobe, but it does not express my creativity. Going to work on adding a dash of creativity from now on to express that part of me. Thank you so much for that tip. Extremely helpful.
Anna - I totally love your show & love you. You have such honesty & humor. I appreciate how much you share. I am almost 74 & YES, even at my age, I glean so much from your program. Thank you.
Oh yes to the 24/7 athleisure look! I have 5 kids and the youngest is 2 months old so I naturally gravitate to clothing that is comfortable and forgiving. But I definitely feel more put together if I don't wear it everyday. Maybe you could put together a video for postpartum moms on how to hide a mom pooch and look stylish and put together while we are working on getting our body back? I know I would appreciate it!
That might be a future video! I’m so there with you! ❤️❤️❤️
Athleisure is so expensive these days I dont really wear it around the house. I wear my jeans around the house, and athleisure if Im going to run around in town....or even going out. I wear my Lulu lemon groove high rise pants as going out wear.
I’m in total agreement with you except the socks. I wear lots of high tops and higher socks are important for me. Plus, I get blisters with no-show socks. Blisters aren’t cute.
Love from the spooky Pine Barrens in NJ
No and they hurt! 😄 The high top / ankle socks are also a specific look! Love the style ❤️❤️
It is challenging to find no-show socks for standard sneakers that don't end up getting dragged down the back of your heels when you walk...😵💫 🙄, which is both annoying and will hasten blister development. I finally found some, but, like you, I often wear higher shoegear, like my Doc Martin dupes and some Madden Chelsea boots I got a few months ago - for those, I generally wear socks that I expect and want to be seen.
Love love this video! So true.. putting effort into how we dress can be a reflection of how we feel about ourselves. No need to break the bank to do it.. but make sure it it fits comfortably and we feel good in it
Thanks, Anna. Your manner is so fun. The only one that didn't resonate with me was impulse shopping. All my favourite clothes and shoes were impulse-bought - when I deliberately look for items I end up getting dowdy ones.
Something that has revolutionised my style (I don't care for what's in fashion) and the variety I can squeeze from my closet is using a closet app. I've used 3, but they all have the same benefit. I have all my clothes photographed so when shopping I can think about what a potential item might go with. And all my good outfit ideas are saved for easy reference when getting dressed. When I get a new item, I spend an hour or so trying it with various combinations and saving the winning ideas on my app.
I always iron or steam (as appropriate) my clean clothes before I put them back in my closet. I let them air out after, too, they re-wrinkle if worn or stored when damp. I got so frustrated having nothing ready to wear, decades ago, that I adopted this habit. I’m lucky to have a little laundry room where I can hang clothes until I have time to iron or steam a batch. This really helps me get ready faster, with much less frustration. Wrinkled clothes just don’t get worn.
Excellent observations! As a hobby sewer, one that I might add is 'ensure your garments fit properly'. If not; take them to a seamstress or kiosk and have them altered. i.e.: It's amazing just a shortening of a half inch will do. Too deeply cut armholes in a sleeveless top can be easily altered. Etc. Etc.
I love how you always get to the point and show pics while talking! So enjoy your tips.👍
Thank you Anna for the fashion mistakes. I gave up on strap bras since over 3 years and since that I also have less shoulder pain. Seamless bras are the best. My favorite brand is Sloggi.
So many good points here! My two favorites are: 1) Don't hang clothes you don't love wearing in your closet; 2) Try new styles. I recently tried on jogger pants for the first time (I know, like what rock do I live under??) because I'm old enough I thought I'd look ridiculous in them, but turns out with the right fabric choice, I LOVE those pants!!! Why didn't I try them sooner? LOL.
Great video Anna! Thank you! I highly recommend Third Love bras, especially their under-wire t-shirt bra. It's important to get professionally fitted regularly too to make sure you're wearing the right size. Your size can and will change over time.
So nice! These are great, and honestly, I needed someone to TELL me about the thread thing. I've always wondered if I should be cutting those off or if it's part of the blazer! Thanks, Anna :)
Thanks for this amazing video! You are so authentic and funny! Hahaha! I can relate to some of these mistakes.
Loved the video!!! Will rewatch again!
Since I am home a lot right now with my recovering husband I am binge watching your channel..so far the best ever…all the bad things we do.
Love "cost per wear" since this is the rule I follow for years but people seem to not understand. "It costs only 3 euros" - well yes and it looks like that.
Usually I use the saying: "I'm not so rich that I can afford to buy cheap things."
When you said ’25 fashion mistakes’ I didn’t believe you but was intrigued. And, yes, there are a number-too embarrassed to disclose number-I am guilty of committing. Thank you for making this fun.
Stylish at any age, stylish at any size. Love it
Yes! ❤️🙌
Good Morning Ana! Thanks for the fashion reminders! I really do need to invest in a steamer. I also need to get out of my neutral rut ( cuz it’s easy) and experiment with more color .
Good morning! ❤️❤️ I also love neutrals! I feel like bringing in color keeps me from getting bored tho 😄 Maybe find a color you’re loving and go for it! 💕 Happy Sunday!
I'M GUILTY...
I love cotton but I hate ironing. Thought I was getting away with it just ordered a steamer thanks for the heads up!!!! love your advice lol
I went from being very casual to dressing nicer.... We went to see an older movie with live music (it was a silent movie) and I thought that would be an appropriate occasion to dress up. Almost everyone there was dressed casually but the musicians... I felt it was respectful to look nice in appreciation of their efforts.. People definitely do a double take when they see me (its not formal wear) and seem to like it. My goal is to dress like a rich rancher woman from the late 1800s (long skirt, blouse -we watch a lot of westerns). I'm on a music, movies, books, clothes and car styles at least or around 100 years old kick, but thats a different story. We need class and kindness again!
Your family is lovely and im having fun with your videos!
I love all your videos as always. Thank you for your advices!❤
Very amusing & so true. I am learning to throw away more as I'm getting older & more selective
re purchasing. Thanks, I like your style, from Australia.
Great tips. Ty for being gentle with it too. Subscribed!
Thank you - great video. It’s my first time watching you - love your philosophy on fashion and just trying to keep up on life. I’ll be watching more
That photo of Conan O'Brien!🤣🤣🤣🤣 I agree with dressing for the occasion; I would rather be overdressed than underdressed. I went to a Swiss wedding where the groom's family were appropriately dressed but the bride's family, including the mother of the bride, turned up in really casual clothes and what seemed to be hiking\climbing sneakers. It gave the impression they couldn't be bothered. The groom's mother eventually got tipsy, sat next to me and threw so much shade at the bride's family. Awks!🤣🤣🤣
Heeey Anna, I got better at ironing when I took up sewing because you have to iron the seams. I have gotten rid of all clothes that are to small or oversized, Hallelujah, Won't God do It!!🙌🏾 I have been buying new bras and I hate a hanging strap too. Thank's for breaking down cost per wear, I hear that alot but now it is defined 💃🏾😁 I own no heels or other shoes that don't work no matter the love I had for them🙄 I am a style experimenter, but onl6 keep.what works of the new looks. I am focusing on what my style is more, trendy is cute but not to kept as classic items.. Anna, THANK YOU for saying that, CUT those pocket holder threads and back panel one too. YEEES!!!! This was a great vlog!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💕
Loved this video so much! Especially the last tip! 🙌
Accepting ourselves as we are now~
Extremely helpful, Anna. Bravo 👏 👏
I had no idea that socks were an issue! Have had a look at the no show socks and will get some for summer but I have to say, here in Canada in spring, fall and the dreaded winter, sneaker socks provide warmth as well as shoe lining so we don't get blisters. And also, bug and tick protection as those little buggers are sneaky. I did agree with virtually everything you've pointed out for the mistakes.
I felt pretty good until you talked about having a closet full of clothes that you don't/can't wear anymore. I retired seven years ago and over time I have gained weight, but would not get rid of my work clothes. So, I finally gave in and bought a size bigger of everything! I feel so much better in things that fit and don't have I to constantly twitch and pull at the garment. Thank you for making me feel better those additional ten pounds! I am 69, but I still love feeling like I okay!😊
Love this video, lots of helpful reminders!!!
So glad you liked it, Elouise! ❤️
Really liked this! I am a tall plus-size woman, and have found out many years ago, that fashion does not agree with me. 😁
So I started to find MY style, and it came out as classic, all dark bottom-wear (in cotton or linen) and tops in different colours (cotton, linen, silk and some mixed fabrics). Did try different shoes, none with high heels (to tall), and the shoe-style that match everything... ballerina!
And the tip about getting rid of clothes... everytime I move, salvation army gets lots of clothes, shoes and thing that has not been used in a year (or more!).
Have a nice summer! 🌻
Omg. I made many of these mistakes. Thanks for the heads up 🙏❤️🌺🌺🌺🌺
So have I (like all of them 🤣) ❤️❤️❤️
I saw a dress on Fair Indigo that I bought on impulse, but it was the type of dress I'd already been wanting as a basic in my closet.
Most no-show socks slip down under my arch. I did find some that had rubber grips inside the heal that works pretty well.
Can you link the socks please?
I have to say that I really didn’t make many of these mistakes…until Covid hit!!! Then Athleisure was my constant outfit of choice!!! I really don’t think I wore ANYTHING else (except my even more leisurely robe) for about a year! Thankfully I’m slowly getting back into the fashion life, but I’ve really learned how to style those yoga pants🤣
I’m 5’10”, never needed real high heels, sure never spent money for them
A tip I got from an underwear specialist : red underwear is the only underwear you don't see under garments. Not white, not nude underwear but red underwear. Test it under a white blouse. You will be amazed.
that sounds ridiculous. maybe if you have a very specific medium skin tone with a red undertone.
@@mmmmmmmmaria You don't need to take our word for it. Just go in a lingerie shop wearing a white blouse and try it for yourself. 😊
@@mleys3248 nude underwear that somewhat matches my skintone works for me. red would be several shades too dark and bright of a color to work
@@mmmmmmmmaria As you wish 👍
Love this!! How about expanding on the dressing for the occasion? Thanks again!!!
Ooooo ok! Let me think on that thanks for the suggestion! ❤️
Always love your videos! Actually a big trend right now is to show off your socks in sneakers etc. - especially sports socks. I'm going to try it out.
So glad you and others have said this. I nearly went off to buy no show socks but I’ve now changed my mind :)
I found some stretchy cargo pants from Walmart that feel fabulous and they look like pants but feel like leisure wear. I found them in black and I am going back to look for more colors.🥰
Excellent video. Thank you xx
Guilty of most of these, thanks for the motivation to change that 💖💖💖
I’m guilty of these as well! We all need some reminders 😄❤️
You never fail to brighten my day, brilliant content and great ideas, I watch TH-cam and as you mentioned, I do nothing or little about it. This will change 😉
Aw yay glad you feel inspired! Get it, girl! 💗💗💗
I don’t remove the thread from pockets in dress pants, blazers, etc. if it’s not visible. Keeps me from stuffing things in them or putting my hands in them. That eventually ruins the line of the clothing. For me the clothing looks good longer. Of course, I remove it from a jacket vent or if it’s obviously sewn shut.
I have just subscribed. I love your advice, it is relevant for all ages. 🇿🇦
Thanks for the video. Love ur videos !
I totally thought you were wearing a bathing suit under your dress bcs your beautiful pictures were at the beach! All your points are excellent and you suit my sense of humor! I need that smile on stressful days!
Lots of good information thank you.
Your videos seriously make my day ! They are the best 💕 always make me laugh.
I’m so happy to hear that! ❤️❤️❤️ Love that you’re here 💗
This is the first time I've watched a video of yours and I just wanted to say thank you for the great video and the advice, I'm excited to see more. You have such a lovely manner about you and I really appreciate that! 🥰
Thank you! Very thorough. I wanted to bring up not dressing for your body type. I think it could be inferred from the video but have you done a video specifically about this topic?
Your channel just keeps getting better and better.
Could not agree more about the cross stitch on the back flap of a jacket. I saw someone on Family Feud with the cross stitch. And I cannot tell you how many people I have stopped and told them they can remove this thread, men included. I’m guilty of sometimes keeping the stitching on a jacket pocket if there’s a flap to cover it. Jacket pockets have a tendency to sag once the stitching is removed. Cheap jacket? Maybe. Love your channel, plus my maiden name is Reid.
Refreshing content. Great job.
Thank you for this video!!
That impulse shopping is a bad habit I just haven't broken away from... Pray for me im making the efforts to stray away
Agreed. The sock showing reminds me of my mom. Can’t see the sock. Sure sign you are old. I’m old too now. Never show the socks
You are such a fun you tuber. Thank you for all your advise.
If I can carry a steamer in my handbag for sure I’ll do 😂
I like to mix trendy items with classic ones. It is not easy to do, but with knowledge and practice, you get to come up with polished and chic outfits.
Great tips.
Excellent! Thank you.
Great video! Thank you.
Love your styles at end of video!
Socks not showing? I've always thought that just the fact that I was wearing socks was an A++. Learned something new.
A little while ago, I saw a gorgeous pair of glitzy, glamorous shoes. The heels were way too high for me, plus I never go anywhere to wear shoes like that, but I really liked them. I got my size, set them down in front of the mirror and carefully stepped into them while holding onto a nearby shelf. Walk? I could barely stand up, but wow did they make me feel tall! Of course, I didn't buy them but it was fun to try them on.
I love that you tried them on for fun that sounds like something I would do! 🥰❤️
You are so funny! I love you so much! You left no rock unturned, Girl! Ha! Everything you mentioned, I too, hate, hate, hate! We can do better. Thanks for the challenge. You will make our world more visibly appealing and less gross! :)
Love it! 😍
I learn a lot from you mam, this is soo helpful for me.☺️
I got a steamer very recently and it's a life saviour! Thanks for this video - there's so many mistakes I've done myself 😆
Your voice is so calming
Really?!?! thank you! ❤️❤️
Over the years I've learned that in most brands, I'm a small in tops but in the brand Free People, a small is too big. I also learned that if jeans are low or mid rise, I can comfortably fit into a 6 but if they're high rise, I have to size down to a 4. In Free People, no matter what I buy from them I have to size down because the items are intentionally oversized to begin with.
If you feel confident and comfortable in your fashion choices, you can normally pull it off. That's not necessarily applicable to the 3-4 hundred pounder who decides that what's in envogue is apropos IF it comes on their size. FOUNDATION AND ATTITUDE PLAYS A BIG ROLE HERE. THX FOR THE FASHION GODS !
Agree with all of them. And there is one more, I'm obsessed with, which is not cutting of the inside label. And then label sticks out e.g. from your bikini bottom or at the back of the crew neck.
Yes! I have been guilty of the tag in bikini bottom! That’s a great one! ❤️
Totally agree with the bra fitting properly. It makes a big difference
Yes it does! ❤️🥰
I love colors!❤️❤️❤️
Great content! 💖. TFS
This video made me subscribe. On point! Girl love your style and videos. But can some fashion vloggers/YTbers talk about clothes to wear just inside the house. Comfy but not lounging. Thanks 😊
Thankyou for mentioning the brastraps! it ruins the most lovely summerlook. The one where I cringe everytime is the top with an X-strap on the back (i dont know the name) and then two vertical brastraps in a different coloure! iiiik!
Helpful tips 👍☺️
I don't even own a pair of heals - I gave up on that circus after wearing them once many many years ago. 😂 I simply can't get over feeling like a silly giraffe walking around on stylths 😁
I'm from the jeans and a t shirt gal. I need to take a few minutes to add a detail that makes my outfit shine
We’re you just speaking to me lol yup watching the videos but not actually wearing the outfits I can easily re create same as my recipes from my Pinterest board seriously need to get it together love you for your beautiful honesty Anna🥰😘
Lol same!!! Me and the Pinterest recipes! 🤣 Here’s to actually putting these ideas in to action 😄❤️
@@ANNAREID29 I’m more inspired than ever now I got that tough love fashion talk and kick to get me moving all this week I’m building casual easy no fuss cute outfits I still am kinda stuck in my community till I can get my car going this summer that also keeps me lazy and less inspired but summer is right around the corner soon will finally have my car to actually get around and get dressed for thank you so much for everything you do and everything you are really needed that yesterday more than you know fashion is my passion and when I’m not doing it I get really stuck and depressed can’t let that happen you are beautiful inside and out so thankful for you Anna🥰
Buying the best quality you can afford. Pay for alterations to improve the fit.
A well fitting garments become your favorites. Cost per wear goes down
