I think a lot of women confuse "unpadded, natural silhouette" with "no bra, no support, no cleavage, no underwire"! Nothing could be further from the truth! I'm Canadian but I've lived in Belgium for over 25 years now and oh boy, do I prefer the European-style bras! As a C/D cup I like an underwire with good support because time, gravity and fluctuating weight have not been kind to my bosom! However my bras aren't padded, have enough lift to bring me back to my younger profile, give me firm support and a pretty yet natural cleavage. European brands like Chantelle and Empreinte (both French) and Intimissimi and Cosabella (Italian) really do a good job at a natural silhouette. Do they have "padded, push them up to your chin" bras? Sure they do but 90+% of their styles are natural. In all cup and band sizes.
Apart from Intimissimi those brands are out of my budget but even lower priced brands have similar styles and construction. The lace and details aren't as pretty but the base construction and fit is the same.
@@PoshPilgrim1776 That's an issue for sure! And we often also don't realise that we can be different sizes depending on the bra style or brand! And that some styles just won't suit your body and/or breast shape, regardless of size. There's a lot of good resources on YT to help but there's no foolproof method, you just have to try different styles, sizes and brands! Laura Tempesta is a good resource to explain how different parts of a bra affect the sizing and fit but there are many others as well. I despise shopping in person so I'm glad that most online stores allow for returns nowadays so if I'm tempted to buy a new bra I don't know, I'll always buy a few of the related sizes, try them on at home and return those that don't fit (and sometimes that means all of them if the style or construction doesn't fit my body!). I've gotten pretty good at knowing what I need in a bra; what styles fit me best, what kind of gore, how deep should the underwire be, how much height and support on the wings, etc, but I still get it wrong sometimes!
The problem is the nip. I wear cami bras, unpadded, no underwire, but the nip is the eternal problem, so I just avoid t-shirts, or any garment thin and clingy enough to show them. I am not going to put bandaids on my nips. That freaks me out.
I don't think this is a fashion channel. I think this is a style channel. As a fellow magpie of bright colours and quirky outfits, I love what you are doing!
I just have to tell you that yesterday I got dressed up to go to the Goodwill and added a vintage scarf to my ensemble, tied like you do it, small, around the neck with the tails to the side. Well a woman older than me, (I'm 63) came up to me and told me I looked like a model, hahaha! Amazing what a little scarf does, honestly. Not only that, I got a huge amount of cool stuff at the thrift shop so it was a magical day. I am so inspired to wear my vintage clothing more often with my outfits. I know it can be done. Not like when I was in my 20s to 30s, but in a new way. Thank you! Julia
@@user-ry1vi1jc7o I know! I went through a funk for a while thinking of the things I can no longer wear, that I used to love, but once I started watching Diana, even though she is much younger, it made me happy to reexamine my clothing and realize what I CAN wear now. Best to you! Julia
Do you know what is underrated? Orthopedic shoes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Thank you Diana for making me laugh, I'm in bed with a bad flu 🤧🤧🤧 and you have definitely made me feel better. Love the fancy jacket with the jeans and the cami❤
This is a really good nudge to shop my own closet and do some problem solving with things I don't wear before I go thrifting again. There is already an abundance of treasures in my closet, I'm sure a little creativity will grow the potential.
You are a wonderfully imaginative person. Edith Head said you can do anything you want----as long as you dress for it. Rather than bring our treasures into our well-worn lives, it can be fruitful to brainstorm and move towards the many exciting new circumstances that these treasures suggest. Think about it: We are already always getting dressed FIRST!
"Don't worry no one will think you bought your shoes at CVS."😂😂😂 As always, your video was: ✅️ Hilarious ! ✅️ Creative & fun ✅️ Unique You are my favorite fashion/lifestyle TH-cam lady !!🏆🥰
I think it's hilarious that she didn't realize she was wearing a wrestling T-shirt. When I was in high school, I went through a tomboy phase and bought a baseball cap that had "Copenhagen" on it with a logo. People were looking at me kind of strangely and finally somebody told me that Copenhagen was a chewing tobacco.
I think the sleeved scarf would look good with a knitted and fitted tank-top (maybe white or black, or the same grey color) tucked into some high waisted skinny jeans and those first strappy black heels. Idk... I kinda liked it and would give it a shot. Oooh better yet try that with some wide legged jeans or mom jeans too! A light denim tho to give it a cozy casual look. Maybe with some black suede booties if you have some or even grey ones. Idk I just wouldn't give up on it yet! The rich aunty jacket would look cute with a white spaghetti strap tank, high waisted skinny jeans (try a lighter denim) and the same strappy heels. Leave the jacket unbuttoned tho and with gold jewelry. Or some ripped mom jeans would look cool too and some black pointy pumps.
I have at least 1 swooshy skirt that I haven't worn in a while because I can't find any tops to go with it, and I don't want to look too dressed up, so you just gave me some inspiration.
Such good advice. Thanks for not making us “buy more stuff “ but encouraging us to sharpen up our creativity. We all have enough clothes and need your inspiration to make them magical.
“A more natural shape is appreciated “ yes!! Totally agreed. I lived in Paris for a couple of years in the 90’s and you are right on with everything you say.
Must say wow to the turtle neck sleeve contraption, something I'd never seen before ! But it suits you tremendously and it actually really worked with that neckline. That's a pretty cool item, definitely use it !
You are great and such inspiration 👍 I am from Germany - Bavaria and I found you by surprise and subscribe right away 💖 you bought IT in Colorado Springs you Said? Wow my Boyfriend is from there we are in a far away Relationship What a surprise for me 💖 so nothing in Life Happens by surprise 😅 sending you Many greetings from Bavaria 🥰
I loved this! Please wear the "rich aunt blouse" out and about, it's so pretty and suits you so well! I think I'm going to try to style my bold red shiny blouse with huge balloon sleeves. That I thifted for about 5 euros more then a year ago and surprise surprise, never wore. 😅
I too have been cutting my own hair for about 15 yrs with layers. Yours look great front and back keep your money in your pocket, you're doing a great job! Love your channel everything looked amazing on you.
I love your style. I also have similar tastes to you. I love parisian chic, art teacher, modest, and eclectic thrift style. It's refreshing to see you embracing all of those too.
I love the rich Aunt jacket outfit! I would definitely wear that! I’m getting a kick out of the fun concept of the piece from your rich aunt, being that I am an Aunt and I have a lot of cool items. My daughter wears a lot of my clothing too. 💰👜👡🧥
Love the rich aunt jacket, it is gorgeous and looks so fun with those jeans. It is festive and a great length, too. The sheer sleeves make it multi-seasonal.
So amused by your description of “cleavage presenting “ 😂 ……Also true that if your outfit is enjoyable and comfortable as well as attractive you will enjoy yourself and so will every body ! Super video
😉She did look super 🆒️ in that wrestling graphic tee! Although the new neckline looked quite flattering, not sure I'm ready to hack off✂️ my crew necks. #1 Would be concerned it would ruin a favorite tee, turn out wonky, & not keep it's shape after several washings. #2 The dreaded perfectionist in me would 100% balk at a neckline that's even slightly askew. Might be rebellious, but I'm not that rock-n-roll. Don't wanna look like a DIY fail. 🤔Maybe I'll do a search for a creative sewing tutorial that folds the t-shirt & uses a bowl shape+chalk to get the neck balanced & even. Finish it w/bias tape or fold over & add a ring of tiny grommets. Something that doesn't require advanced skills. 😬Meanwhile, I'll practice on a throw away tee. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
Thank you so much for this video, Diana! (I’m 65.) I just found your channel a couple days ago! My “rich aunt” is/was my mother. She died almost 10 years ago, and I grabbed a few of her clothes that I liked/couldn’t let go of, and most of them I haven’t worn. This video gives me ideas for how to wear them! I love that last principle you gave us: combine something fancy with something not so fancy (casual), and see what happens. Mom and I used to do what we called, “having clothes fun.” This video is similar to what we would do. The randomness of what you can find in thrift stores adds to the fun!
Diana! We are kindred spirits , sisters from another mother!!! I was have the biggest pity party today and this video made me laugh soooo hard!!!! Especially the turtle neck with sleeves ! Oh and I cut my own hair too.
I love your Pose's, the side one with hands clasped in front looks cute and you can tell you were a Model 😊 you should still be 👍 Great video, I have 11 Thrift Shops within 10 minutes of where I live 😃 but I have got better at Not going in ♻️ ❤x
Diana: I loved the floral skirt with the striped belt! Who would a thought! Also l enjoyed your sleeve story! Have you heard of sleevey wonders? I have several but they are increasingly hard to get. At least here in Tennessee. They are great! I think you should dust off that business idea and go for it! You already have your store and these things look so great when you want to hide those arms. If you ever watched Grace and Frankie, Lily Tomlin wore sheer arm sleeves under a variety of tops and always looked cool! If anyone can pull these off it’s you! So sending encouragement. Butt sleeves, not so sure about but ya never know! I am having SO MUCH FUN getting dressed since starting to watch you! Thank you, thank you for helping me unblah!😊❤
😊Thx for the Sleevy Wonders tip. 😎Living in LA, sleeveless shirts are my preference for our heat🥵, but sometimes it does feel a bit bare. Liked the sheer & lacy options shown on their website. When I went to 🤠Stage Coach 🎶Music Festival a few years back, I worried about baking in the open sun☀️ all day. My marathon runner pal had these UV protected sporty arm sleeves. Color coordinated my outfits to match the sleeves. Still airy, no discomfort or sun burn. 🎉Win-Win!🎉 😉BTW, I would turn those gray knit snug sleeves into leg warmers for knee boots. 💚Bridget from Cali☘️ (using my pal's YT acct)
The good thing about thrifting is that you can afford to fix things. e.g. Lilac, sharks tooth hemmed skirt in silk. Step 1) take it to the tailor and have the hem evened out. No more jagged ends. Step 2) silk is a natural fabric and will dye easily. Turn that skirt into a navy blue skirt or a brown skirt or even a deeper purple skirt and it will be much more versatile. The gray sleeved collar thing? Over a WINTER black or grey dress with a crew or round neckline, not a summer slip dress. Yep, I often turn long skirts into strapless dresses by pulling them ALL the way up (Comes from being short and long maxi skirts almost always covering the shoes or dragging the ground) and belting them.
wow I love you in the prairie skirt with that turtleneck top!! I was surprised to see how nice the colors look on you and the top made it so classy. I own way too many boho flowy clothes, I have some inspiration to work them in a new style
Just found this channel and love everything about you! Inspiring, funny, and absolutely darling! Will be binge watching your clips. Subscribe! Thank you for creating and sharing ❤️
I have that little red scarf! I didn’t know it was Liberty. We used to live near London, and it belonged to my father, he used it as a pocket square. It is one of the few memorabilia I have from him, so dear to me. Love your humour, and tips. Carol
The rich old aunt jacket is FABULOUS!! You should be wearing it all the time, because it looks amazing on you. Oh and if it ever needs rehoming I volunteer to give it a home 🥰
I love your channel! I'm in my early 40s and I love seeing the things you combine. It's so nice to see someone besides me wearing things that are flowy or poofy just because they make you feel nice and pretty, though I do have to disagree with you on the man collars, I love those, lol!
The sweater sleeves usually would come with a higher neck matching sweater tank. But I think it would look fine with a higher neck tank and jeans. Its a great neutral, so great w a ton of colors! I have a blue set. Love to wear them together and breaking up the set to wear them separately. Have fun!
Diana, you are inspirational. I have learned so much from your videos. I have been catching up with all your videos. Love your son's jacket and Rich Aunt Jacket and your hair is the best. Very tempted to get the chop but my hair is very frizzy and wavy. Thank you very much 😊xx
You make me smile every day! I really love all your videos. Learn a ton. Loved " I'm wearing this short skirt even though I have varicose veins!" That changed my thinking on swimming, too. Keep up the great work! You are so special!
I love “quirky & worky” That is precisely the phrase I need to give myself permission to try and to wear new outfit combos!! ❤Thank you for your sparkle, your boldness, your friendliness, your creativity, your fun-ness! (Is that a word?)❤
One way I rework my closet is by donating clothes I REALLY don't wear and also buying resale items. I've been loving the browser extension Beni and using it while I online shop to real-time show me resale items just like the ones I'm looking for. If anyone is interested in thrifting/sustainable buying habits - definitely worth checking out!
Love your fancy jacket! I have something similar, and now I want to try and style it. I liked the lavender skirt, and think that a white top, grey, or very light blue would look nice with it also.
Best video yet! I think I'm glad that 'sleeve it to Beaver' didn't make it! Last winter I started wearing a vintage beaded cardigan with jeans and loved it. I have another one, even fancier, that I didn't wear (I've worn it twice in six years). Next winter, it's coming out. I love your fancy jacket, and if you can do that with jeans, I can wear that cardigan with jeans. It's royal blue with beads and sequins in blue and black. Thanks! And by the way, the back of your hair looks great, and I agree about a natural shape.
Missile melons 😂 I'm 40 this year and finally appreciating my natural body. I'm not as thin or fit as I was 15 years ago when I thought I was fat, but I feel happier with who I am.
Aerosoles were my fave shoes for walking with their rubber soles, yet still fashionable, unlike clunky athletic shoes. Almost every pair of boots and shoes I had were Aerosoles. Then the company was sold, the designs changed and price really went up. Afraid to risk buying now in case fit is different than before.
Loved all the outfits, especially those with the rich aunt jacket. Great tip to pair your fancy pieces with your casual ones to make them more daily life friendly. By the way, I think your hair looks nice. I DIY mine all the time, as well. Would you ever consider doing a video of one of your self haircuts? I think haircuts are an important element to a look and add to the vibe of an individuals style.
Hi! Glad you liked this! I don't think I could film my haircuts because it's a constant cutting every few days or week. I just cut into what sticks out or looks lumpy that day and sometimes when the back is really off balance I have a friend cut the nape. That's my method! 🤣
I just wanted to tell you how much your channel has helped me! I'm pushing and about a year postpartum after my fifth child (first C-Section) and have been discouraged every time I walk up to my closet. Your fun, adventurous approach to trying on clothes has me excited to get dressed in the morning again! I recently went shopping for soft pants and they are a serious game changer when it comes to my sensitive scar tissue! Thank you so much for your wonderful content!
Inspiration X 100. You are so fun! I thrift and see things that are odd/fun, and wonder what I could do with them… or more like I wonder what someone else could do to make them hip. I will take a wild chance soon. Today - I will make a wild combination from my closet…😅
I just found your channel…may I say that your fashion presentation has a wry and dry humor that is enjoyable. Fashion has been portrayed as a sacrosanct area that is supposed to be feared if one cannot put together the most perfect outfit! You have a wonderful way of tearing down those stodgy rules with a refreshing look at what is possible. Thank you!
so fun i love your fashion-y videos! seeing creators share their own personal style is so refreshing and a joy to watch. i feel like i am constantly being sold to, like qvc, with other style channels. tysm
You are wonderful. I just discovered your channel and I love it. I used to have an artistic profession, but then I switched to a completely different field with is office-like. And recently I’ve being craving to get back to my artistic vibes again. And then your wonderful channel popped up in my feed. I’m grateful and you’re really good at this.
I'm so pleased I stumbled across your channel! My vibe is often 'art teacher' and so many American fashion channels (I'm in the UK) are skinny jeans/high heels/long hair - blahhhhhhh
I think a lot of women confuse "unpadded, natural silhouette" with "no bra, no support, no cleavage, no underwire"! Nothing could be further from the truth!
I'm Canadian but I've lived in Belgium for over 25 years now and oh boy, do I prefer the European-style bras!
As a C/D cup I like an underwire with good support because time, gravity and fluctuating weight have not been kind to my bosom! However my bras aren't padded, have enough lift to bring me back to my younger profile, give me firm support and a pretty yet natural cleavage.
European brands like Chantelle and Empreinte (both French) and Intimissimi and Cosabella (Italian) really do a good job at a natural silhouette. Do they have "padded, push them up to your chin" bras? Sure they do but 90+% of their styles are natural. In all cup and band sizes.
Apart from Intimissimi those brands are out of my budget but even lower priced brands have similar styles and construction. The lace and details aren't as pretty but the base construction and fit is the same.
Wow thanks for all of this! I'm gonna pin this super helpful comment. 💯
I think the biggest problem is knowing how to fit a bra. Most women wear a larger band and smaller cup when it should be the reverse.
@@PoshPilgrim1776 That's an issue for sure! And we often also don't realise that we can be different sizes depending on the bra style or brand! And that some styles just won't suit your body and/or breast shape, regardless of size.
There's a lot of good resources on YT to help but there's no foolproof method, you just have to try different styles, sizes and brands! Laura Tempesta is a good resource to explain how different parts of a bra affect the sizing and fit but there are many others as well.
I despise shopping in person so I'm glad that most online stores allow for returns nowadays so if I'm tempted to buy a new bra I don't know, I'll always buy a few of the related sizes, try them on at home and return those that don't fit (and sometimes that means all of them if the style or construction doesn't fit my body!).
I've gotten pretty good at knowing what I need in a bra; what styles fit me best, what kind of gore, how deep should the underwire be, how much height and support on the wings, etc, but I still get it wrong sometimes!
The problem is the nip. I wear cami bras, unpadded, no underwire, but the nip is the eternal problem, so I just avoid t-shirts, or any garment thin and clingy enough to show them. I am not going to put bandaids on my nips. That freaks me out.

That's probably an important distinction! Fashion is more trendy right?

When I went to 🤠Stage Coach 🎶Music Festival a few years back, I worried about baking in the open sun☀️ all day. My marathon runner pal had these UV protected sporty arm sleeves. Color coordinated my outfits to match the sleeves. Still airy, no discomfort or sun burn.
🎉Win-Win!🎉
😉BTW, I would turn those gray knit snug sleeves into leg warmers for knee boots.

That name: sleevey wonders! 🤣
Love your channel. You’re an so much more down to earth than other beauty content creators.
I appreciate that. Thank you so much!
Diana, this was so fun! I've been thinking how I would love some inspiration, and here you are! Right up my alley! Thank you😘
Yay! Glad you're here!
The good thing about thrifting is that you can afford to fix things. e.g. Lilac, sharks tooth hemmed skirt in silk. Step 1) take it to the tailor and have the hem evened out. No more jagged ends. Step 2) silk is a natural fabric and will dye easily. Turn that skirt into a navy blue skirt or a brown skirt or even a deeper purple skirt and it will be much more versatile. The gray sleeved collar thing? Over a WINTER black or grey dress with a crew or round neckline, not a summer slip dress. Yep, I often turn long skirts into strapless dresses by pulling them ALL the way up (Comes from being short and long maxi skirts almost always covering the shoes or dragging the ground) and belting them.
wow I love you in the prairie skirt with that turtleneck top!! I was surprised to see how nice the colors look on you and the top made it so classy. I own way too many boho flowy clothes, I have some inspiration to work them in a new style
Just found this channel and love everything about you! Inspiring, funny, and absolutely darling! Will be binge watching your clips. Subscribe! Thank you for creating and sharing ❤️
Welcome!! Thanks so much!
I have that little red scarf! I didn’t know it was Liberty. We used to live near London, and it belonged to my father, he used it as a pocket square. It is one of the few memorabilia I have from him, so dear to me.
Love your humour, and tips. Carol
I love it! Thanks for being here Carol!
That was a funny joke. You have a great sense of humor. I like your videos.😂😂😂❤
Thank you! 😃
The rich old aunt jacket is FABULOUS!! You should be wearing it all the time, because it looks amazing on you. Oh and if it ever needs rehoming I volunteer to give it a home 🥰
Love your attitude. I'm way over 60 and I feel most of what you wear I could do, too. Thanks!
Glad you're here Rachel!
The sleeves would be good that cold morning where a blouse is not enough, but you know that later that day it gets warmer
I love your channel! I'm in my early 40s and I love seeing the things you combine. It's so nice to see someone besides me wearing things that are flowy or poofy just because they make you feel nice and pretty, though I do have to disagree with you on the man collars, I love those, lol!
To each their own! 😘
YES!!! I agree. It’s more important that you’re fun! And you are! Thanks for a very fun video.
I think your lacy feminine blouse is outstanding on you. Same for the Rich Aunt beaded jacket. You also know what colours look good on you.
Love your playful and quirky way of presenting info. Your hair looks great and you’re gorgeous! The turtle neck with just sleeves is very cool!!
Thank you! Glad you liked this! ❤
The moving legs in the purple skirt 😂
Then " missile melons " 😂
😂 That back of the head moment had me giggling! I can relate! I used to be a license hair stylist too, and I NEVER know what's going on back there.
Your makeup looks superb!! 😀
Discovered VIONIC shoes. Sandals shoes boots all fabulous and stylish orthotics!!❤
Thanks for the tip!
I love feeling the senses style!
Your hair (back and front) is SOOOOO cool! I love everything about it including that gorgeous brown!
Thank you! I'm currently growing it out to my natural brown and gray!
The sweater sleeves usually would come with a higher neck matching sweater tank. But I think it would look fine with a higher neck tank and jeans. Its a great neutral, so great w a ton of colors! I have a blue set. Love to wear them together and breaking up the set to wear them separately. Have fun!
Diana, you are inspirational. I have learned so much from your videos. I have been catching up with all your videos. Love your son's jacket and Rich Aunt Jacket and your hair is the best. Very tempted to get the chop but my hair is very frizzy and wavy. Thank you very much 😊xx
My hair is very wavy, and was frizzy until I stopped dying it. I actually have to grow it out a bit longer, because my gray hair is much fluffier!
I am a fiber snob for silk myself. I love the feel of it and it is always luxurious.
❤
Your hair is beautiful
You make me smile every day! I really love all your videos. Learn a ton. Loved " I'm wearing this short skirt even though I have varicose veins!" That changed my thinking on swimming, too. Keep up the great work! You are so special!
Thank you! 😊
I wasn’t a fan of the rich aunt jacket until you put it on. I want one now 😊
To make this skirt work for me, I would turn it a quarter left so that the long end comes upfront. This gives a nice surprising silhouette too.
Very few people could wear your hairstyle that well. Looks beautiful. Just found your channel.
Thank you! Welcome! ❤
Definitely wear the brown puffy shirt with the purple skirt the next time you go to a renaissance fair.
Love your humour and your finds😊
You have such a cool, unique and artsy/old soul style that i find trully inspiring
Do it! 😘
I love “quirky & worky”
That is precisely the phrase I need to give myself permission to try and to wear new outfit combos!!
❤Thank you for your sparkle, your boldness, your friendliness, your creativity, your fun-ness! (Is that a word?)❤
Thank youuuuu!❤
Love the freedom on what you can wear!
One way I rework my closet is by donating clothes I REALLY don't wear and also buying resale items. I've been loving the browser extension Beni and using it while I online shop to real-time show me resale items just like the ones I'm looking for. If anyone is interested in thrifting/sustainable buying habits - definitely worth checking out!
Thanks Diana always a great video. Lots of fun and great ideas!
Glad you enjoyed it! 😘
I really love your descriptions - such a fun and informative video! I need a Rich Aunt Jacket!
Blessings to you always.
Love your fancy jacket! I have something similar, and now I want to try and style it. I liked the lavender skirt, and think that a white top, grey, or very light blue would look nice with it also.
Best video yet! I think I'm glad that 'sleeve it to Beaver' didn't make it! Last winter I started wearing a vintage beaded cardigan with jeans and loved it. I have another one, even fancier, that I didn't wear (I've worn it twice in six years). Next winter, it's coming out. I love your fancy jacket, and if you can do that with jeans, I can wear that cardigan with jeans. It's royal blue with beads and sequins in blue and black. Thanks! And by the way, the back of your hair looks great, and I agree about a natural shape.
That sweater sounds amazing. Do it! 😘
Missile melons 😂 I'm 40 this year and finally appreciating my natural body. I'm not as thin or fit as I was 15 years ago when I thought I was fat, but I feel happier with who I am.
Love your vibe!
Aerosoles were my fave shoes for walking with their rubber soles, yet still fashionable, unlike clunky athletic shoes. Almost every pair of boots and shoes I had were Aerosoles. Then the company was sold, the designs changed and price really went up. Afraid to risk buying now in case fit is different than before.
Same!😢
Loved all the outfits, especially those with the rich aunt jacket. Great tip to pair your fancy pieces with your casual ones to make them more daily life friendly. By the way, I think your hair looks nice. I DIY mine all the time, as well. Would you ever consider doing a video of one of your self haircuts? I think haircuts are an important element to a look and add to the vibe of an individuals style.
Hi! Glad you liked this! I don't think I could film my haircuts because it's a constant cutting every few days or week. I just cut into what sticks out or looks lumpy that day and sometimes when the back is really off balance I have a friend cut the nape. That's my method! 🤣
I just wanted to tell you how much your channel has helped me! I'm pushing and about a year postpartum after my fifth child (first C-Section) and have been discouraged every time I walk up to my closet. Your fun, adventurous approach to trying on clothes has me excited to get dressed in the morning again! I recently went shopping for soft pants and they are a serious game changer when it comes to my sensitive scar tissue! Thank you so much for your wonderful content!
That is awesome! Thank you for being here! 5 kids! 👏 WOW!
Inspiration X 100. You are so fun! I thrift and see things that are odd/fun, and wonder what I could do with them… or more like I wonder what someone else could do to make them hip. I will take a wild chance soon. Today - I will make a wild combination from my closet…😅
Do it! ❤
Love the brown blouse so far I like everything you have bought so far...
I just found your channel…may I say that your fashion presentation has a wry and dry humor that is enjoyable. Fashion has been portrayed as a sacrosanct area that is supposed to be feared if one cannot put together the most perfect outfit! You have a wonderful way of tearing down those stodgy rules with a refreshing look at what is possible. Thank you!
Thank you so much! Just have fun, right?
so fun i love your fashion-y videos! seeing creators share their own personal style is so refreshing and a joy to watch. i feel like i am constantly being sold to, like qvc, with other style channels. tysm
You are wonderful. I just discovered your channel and I love it. I used to have an artistic profession, but then I switched to a completely different field with is office-like. And recently I’ve being craving to get back to my artistic vibes again. And then your wonderful channel popped up in my feed. I’m grateful and you’re really good at this.
You are so welcome! I'm very glad you're here with us!
You need a pinafore type dress for over grey polo and sleeves.☘️💚☘️😊
I'm so pleased I stumbled across your channel! My vibe is often 'art teacher' and so many American fashion channels (I'm in the UK) are skinny jeans/high heels/long hair - blahhhhhhh
Glad you're here! 😘
