A good budget-friendly way to buy is shopping at thrift and consignment stores. I have found well- made, excellent quality items for as little as $4. Be patient and check them well. You could be happily surprised.
Thrift stores around me are pretty rubbish but I recently discovered a thrifting app that has been a game changer! I just scored a near new 100% wool-cashmere blend full length classic winter coat for 25€ (30$)! It would have easily been worth 10x that when new. I keep a running list of what I need, my favourite brands, sizes, measurements, etc, then spend a couple hours searching through the app for it. If I see something I really like in store I'll note down the details (brand, store, price, etc) and add that to my shopping list. A couple months ago I saw a skirt I loved in store. Tried it on, decided I wanted it but didn't want to pay store price for it. A month later I found it "new with tags" for 1/3 of the price!
Yea-ever since I started watching videos on clothes I have had tot pay attention to that. Loose w/the more form fitting etc. I also never wear black with browns but will try that. Looks clean cut I guess.
Ever since I banished prints from my wardrobe except in accessories, my fall wardrobe styling has become so much easier. All I do now is grab a top, decide if I'm going complimentary or contrasting then select a bottom and jacket to match or contrast. I still struggle with spring and summer styling because it's more print-heavy, but I'm getting better at it.
Me too! you can pretty much put any solids together easily. I simplified my colors too. Might be boring to some but there's always accessories for different colors/looks
By the way, I consider stripes, dots, and plaid as pattern rather than print. As long as these are in classic promotions and/or color, these do not seem to age me like florals
Awesome video! First of all, I never thought your sound was a problem. I watched this video twice and took notes, you simplified the process of putting an outfit together soooo well! Turns out I have all of the elements already and just need to do some experimenting ❤
You are so right about using a capsule wardrobe. I recently went on a trip and had to pack intentionally. I started with the colors navy and green because I have a lot of those.comfortable shoes (3), 3 bottoms, 3 tops, and added jackets or outerwear. It took some time to adjust the pieces so that everything went together and didn’t look like I was wearing the same clothes for days. Also, you can make several “capsules”. I made another capsule set using black and cream as my base. Once you have the outfits, the accessories are easy to choose. The pieces that I tried to use but never went with anything, I either got rid of or I get something to go with them.
To me a capsule wardrobe means the basics, it doesn’t mean a minimalist wardrobe! You can add anything you want to your basics to suit your lifestyle! Thank you for sharing! Love all your content! 🤗👍
Agreed! I think I had to rework what a "capsule wardrobe" meant in my head and you're right, it's having good basics and pieces that are super functional! ❤️❤️❤️
I love how you break everything down… it’s easier to remember and because of that it makes so many variations possible with select clothes. Thank you so much !!!
I dont know why, but i am almost literally obsessed with adding burgundy pieces to my wardrobe this fall! Ah, that quarter zip striped sweater is perfect!
Every year I try burgundy but it doesn't last long. I have an old burgundy bag that has been used maybe 2-3 times. I think it's about comfort for me? I don't want to stand out too much?
I love your channel and style....AND thank you for doing a less expensive STORE that has affordable pricing. I know you wear some awesome pieces that are pricey and look great!!!! Do more of these please!!!
I love the look of the striped sweater. I went out of my way this summer and got a lightweight cotton navy/white stripe sweater. I’m having a hard time keeping that sweater on. It still has the tags on it and I say this because I’m a DD bust, and I just feel it adds volume. The last nine months I have been watching closely what I ate, and have lost 40 pounds so my hope is eventually I’ll feel more comfortable in this sweater. Thank you
Wow!! Good for you, that is no small feat! Maybe try wearing it to somewhere you don't care about - like small errands, the grocery store etc and see how you feel in it? Sometimes we just have to take an item for a spin and it helps determine if yes, it's great and I love it, or no, I felt super weird and it needs to go. I hope that helps ❤️❤️❤️
I’m a little shook on how cool these clothes are from Kohl’s. I usually head towards the Sephora section only. Now I will graze the looks. Thanks Anna!
Loved your tip about STRUCTURE. Meant to comment on your shoe video: I love the color of your pale blue Adidas. That blue is classic with beige, but can be fresh and modern when paired with caramel, toffee, chocolate brown. Pale blue can also push the envelope paired with yellow-greens and almost mustard for a sweet and sour dissonance. An all-sweet option might be inspired by the way a warm sunset reflects on a white picket fence: sunlit patches are lit up in pale oranges and the shadows read as cool blues. Beautiful. For fall, you have so many beautiful browns in your wardrobe that would look gorgeous with the blue Adidas. And of course denim. You made a good call passing on the brown Adidas because they were so similar to the burgundy. And you have other brown shoes in other shapes and textures. You've got all bases covered. After your astute observations on the t-strap angles, I saw a similar effect on the curved lines of the Western silhouette Vionic boots. Instead of a straight horizontal line cutting your legs off, the sides curving down in a V on the front seam makes your legs look longer and the curved line is not as abrupt and would look good with a skirt. Now that we're getting cooler weather, please do a video about layering and accessories. You touched on the structured element today, but when I start adding layers it does not feel right, I am not used to it and I wind up leaving a pile of rejects at the door before I leave the house. I feel overwhelmed, but sometimes I just want to wear a baseball cap. Then do I need to stick to sunglasses, bag and shoes but skip a scarf and jewelry? When could I wear a cozy blanket scarf? I feel overwhelmed. I hope you have a great week. 👟👢👟👢❤
First of all, thank you for the brown + blue adidas idea! I am going to try that! ❤️ Layering - yes I can understand how it gets overwhelming! Let me see what I can come up with! If you live in a colder climate, try checking our Lydia Tomlinson I think she does a lot of layered outfits and it might be helpful! ❤️❤️
Khols is a great place for classic pieces. I just purchased the Nine West turtle neck in three colors and a beautiful black and white striped cardigan. I dress pretty casual but needed to elevate my style ever so slightly so I look put together and not frumpy. I've been watching your videos with great attention and have already incorporated many of your tips into my dress. Thank you for the awesome content. BTW, your mic has always sounded fine! ;)
Something I am trying that is both working and is more fun than I had anticipated is one of the things you're suggesting - wearing things that I am not normally reaching for. I've found some outfits I really like this way that I would not have tried otherwise
I am enjoying your content and enthusiasm for fashion! I am loosing my fashion sense/identity...I used to be good at capsule wardrobes since I traveled for work. My coworker would be so impressed with my carry-on luggage only. I like how you broke down the Pinterest outfits for inspiration. I am looking for my new formulas now. I am big on long sweater dusters and sweater coats with a black base (dress or pants) for work and jeans and long sleeve as a base for casual. Trying to keep it simple. I want to look nice and not overthink it. Thanks for sharing!
Good Morning Anna, loved most of these great tips, especially the outfit formulas. I'd so love to see a video which is dedicated to outfit formulas. My go to formula when I don't know what I really want to wear is sandwich dressing. It's simple and easy styling. But, I would love to hear more about other outfit formulas. Thanks for all you do to help keep us stylish.
Anna, I organize my closet by color too! It helps me choose tonal looks and also makes it much faster to get dressed. I live in a warm climate so I wear a long raincoat. Thanks for this great video!
Great recommendation regarding picking shapes of pieces to put together. This is focusing on different silhouettes which I find many women tend to wear the same silhouette over and over again… but just in different colors or patterns. I purposely think of the different silhouettes for a week I want to assemble to challenge myself to look different each day. So important! My husband even notices this! Hahaha
I bought the green pants, the jean jacket, and two dolman sweaters and everything is great! I call you my stylist.😁 I love almost everything you put together! Thank you for making my life easier.
I don't know about that, I don't know anywhere that sells jeans for under $50 that are actually good except Kohl's 😃 That being said, they do have sales often! ❤️❤️❤️
Agreed. Khols is overpriced for the quality you are getting. Thin cotton, polyester that pills after one season. You have to get it on sale or it isn’t worth the money you spend.
I definitely noticed the sound difference in your video and it is an improvement. I didn't have a problem with it before but since you asked there you have it. Nice job!
As I have replaced everything in my wardrobe over the past year, I am quite enjoying thrifting and consignment. It lets me try out styles at lower cost, as I’m still trying to figure out what looks most flattering. I specifically look for top brands and natural materials such as linen, silk, cashmere and wool.
You have "top brands and natural materials such as linen, silk, cashmere, and wool" in your local thrift store? Where you live? Belair? My local thrift store has Old Navy and Walmart. And they charge almost as much as for new.
@ It does take some searching, but the city where we live is home to a fair number of high income households and they tend to discard perfectly good items. I also use online sites such as Thred Up, The RealReal etc.
After watching your program, I've stopped SAVING my better clothing for special occasions. I'm retired and those special occasions only happen once or twice a year. My better clothes were going out of style before I really enjoyed them. Thanks.
Love your videos, have been watching for years, and I've never once thought the sound was off/too low. Thanks for all you share here, and for the slim-figure inspo!
This was an excellent video. So instructional. I feel like I just completed a college course in fashion. You shared so many helpful tips. Off to watch your capsule video.
Thanks for offering all these tips and strategies to take the stress out of getting your outfit together. I tend to organize my closet by colors. It's like a capsule wardrobe right in your closet. The capsule wardrobe have saved me so much time and energy on 21-day cruises. It allows me to be creative with my accessories and get a little funky sometimes too!
I have been using a longer but lighter coat for fall events outside instead of a cardigan or blazer and it really looks so much better and I dont get chilly as easily lol
Hi Anna, I hope you're doing well,! This is my first time watching your fashion podcasts and I'm enjoying them. I like the way you mention that you don't have to spend a lot to look nice. In doing that you're inclusive which is how it's a wonderful way to be. Your 🎤 mic is great 🎉 I watch many fashion bloggers , and I always learn something new. I do have to say ...Kohls is not my go to for clothing...but you showed some nice looks. Thank you and take care ❤🎉❤🎉❤
I really love your second tip with cracking the code of an outfit. That is really helpful. I do fine with a capsule wardrobe I don't usually mix and match. I love finding outfits that work and just repeat. Thanks for the video! Cheers!
Really love tonal dressing, so easy, very elegant. Love the oversized high neck sweaters too; have my eye on a rosy beige Reiss one, 🥰 Thanks, Anna, always enjoy your videos.
I am new to your channel and am enjoying it so much. I have been re-vamping my closet and started after watching the first few of your videos. Living in the PNW I have gotten into the habit of mostly wearing jeans and sweatshirts…but I’m on a mission to dress more thoughtfully now. I have new J Crew t-shirts that just arrived, one black and one white, lol. I think your ideas are spot on and you have a great way of explaining them. When I was about 30 I wore a tonal navy blue outfit with a navy blazer to Nordstrom, and a couple shoppers asked if I worked there. That is the memory that popped up when you spoke of adding a structured piece to an outfit. Looking forward to your future videos.
I rotate work clothes for 2 weeks. changing out with assorted vest, belt or scarf. I would never wear a puffer coat, horizontal stripe, moto jacket or sweatshirt. I rarely wear anything camel. Usually opt for black, grey or navy trousers and skirts, assorted tops/ tunics and tights, a few dresses, short ankle boots, a pair of white runners. Fall is well past ballet flats at this time of year- around 32F. when I leave for work.
My favorite tip you went over was mixing two neutrals and a color. Obviously, there will be variables that warrant utilizing other styles, but as a general rule, and more so on the female side of the house, mixing it up a bit does not go wrong too often. Another tip up there in rank is to peruse a mag or sites such as Pinterest etc. to just kind of look and see what appeals to you and to try it if possible. It will either work or not but if it does you will know it.
Omg im the sound snob! I told u about ur sound bc I love ur vids and I knew there was a simple adjustment there that would 'elevate' ur amazing presentations.....!!! Great job. U look so good and sound great ;) staci
Really good and practical tips. I've got 2 problem areas I'd love to see you address: 1) I work from home or wear suits (UGH!) when visiting customers (medical sales). When I am at home, I have gotten in the habit of not "getting dressed" meaning I pretty much wear work out clothes all day. I'm sick of it but feel putting on clothes is over dressing (WOW! I just said that.) And 2) I'm tired of wearing suits and would like to hear your thoughts on dressing professionally without wearing a suit--at least some of the time. Also, your mic worked well.
Thank you for simplify the formula, I have so many basics now , what I really need to do is play around in my closet with the colors, textures and styles... I've come to the conclusion that although I love seeing certain styles on others,I personally don't feel comfortable using those styles in my everyday wardrobe, I mostly do errands and family style restaurants with friends... So I have been wearing straight leg jeans more often with stylish tops and slid my skinny jeans aside... It's taking a lot within me to push aside my skinny jeans😂
Very interesting video today. The Pinterst breakdown is a good way to make sense out of the inspiration. I wonder if instead of calling it a capsule wardrobe, people started calling it a 'Coordinated Collection' or 'Coordinated Wardrobe' it would lose some of the scariness. The word capsule always sounds so restricting and small. Lots of great tips and ways to put things together. A little planning goes a long way to looking pulled together. Thank you for sharing!
Loved this vlog. I have been working away from home 2 weeks and my limited clothes I have styled a dozen ways. I’m going on a cruise next month.. I keep stressing but if I implement what you say and my clothes last two weeks I’ll be okay. Thanks for the advice.
Well done Anna and hope you don't mind me adding my two-cents but now that I am up in age I find for dress-up wear, the purchase of a quality jacket that hits at the waist is far more versatile than a long coat and can look just as glamorous. Reason given; basically they can be worn with any hem length or type of bottom as well as footwear. Plus there is also less concern of weight and bulk, not to mention cost comparison which generally is less.
I'm too much of a maximalist to have just 20 pieces in my closet ( I like color & variety)but I do use the idea of a capsule wardrobe to organize my closet & make any additional purchases. So I have capsules within my closet by color & somewhat by season. ( Where I currently live is warm to hot 10 months out of the year so there's no seasonal closet change out) I'm definitely a tonal or monochromatic dresser & I have my closet organized by color/ item. Tops, dresses, pants. I hang most of what I have except pj's & underwear/socks/ leggings/workout. I'm very much a jacket person ( it could be a lightweight duster sweater or crochet cardigan or kimomo) over basics & maxi dresses but I highly recommend having 2 coats. One short & one long. If you spend most of your time in a car, you'll probably need a shorter coat but if you live in a walkable city & take public trans a longer coat will be indispensable. I walk a lot & we go into the city for theatre & concerts so I like having a long coat to wear over a dress on a cooler evening. The formula idea of analyzing pinterest outfits is great. People get hung up on individual specific items & then look to buy that exact top or pant instead paying attention to the formula & silhouette. Loose over slim, slim over loose, short over long, etc. If you organize your closet by color/ item or even just color, it becomes obvious what your neutrals & accessories should be & what colors dominate in your wardrobe. You might think twice before buying another white blouse or black dress 😊
Love this!! I think I need to do a whole video on the capsule wardrobe but the name gives me anxiety 😂😂 I definitely have more than 20 items in my closet BUT having tops and bottoms that all go together in many different ways has been a game changer so that's more the point I was getting at. Also, I love my color coordinated closet, too! It just works! ❤️❤️❤️
New Zealand fan here ❤ Love your videos and grab a coffee sit down and watch always fabulous Thank you for your Time! I'm not into fashion I'm into clothes 😂
Anna this video is a godsend for me!! As I was listening I was quite literally missing one of my tops that I got from target 5 years ago but unfortunately had to declutter since I couldn’t get a stain out!! Lo and behold, you showed an EXACT dupe of it to the point of having a horizontal ribbed pattern!! 🥺 I can’t tell you how excited I am. Getting two whites this time since I can’t bear the thought of getting it dirty. Thank you!! 🤍🤍
Hi Anna, I have to stay on a budget so I buy lots of beautiful made in USA clothes at estate sales. I just found a beautiful wool cream cost with a large faux fur neckline. I agree sometimes a nice longer coat adds a lot. All great points as usual Anna. I have a pair L Conrad jeans…love them. ❤❤❤
Very useful tips in this video that I will use from now on and will work it into my new year resolution to be more intentional with my outfits for 2025. Thanks!
Thank you Anna, 💐 lovely video with a lot of very useful advice. I will surely see my clothes now from a different, better point of view. I think a long, nice coat belted up does magic, for gentlemen, too! Everyone looks pulled together, as long as the coat is closed, it does not even matter so much whats worn under it. Over here, it is already cold enough that one can wear the coat while skimming through a supermaket. Wore mine to Aldi yesterday 🤭
I wash my turtleneck sweaters and hang to dry. before hanging, I stretch out the actual turtleneck as much as possible. then, when wearing, I roll the neck to the inside. gives a much cleaner look. try it.
Anna you actually live in a great city to thrift, I used to travel there often to go to the thrift stores, and got great things that were expensive if bought new. Between you and other influencers I've been able to shop my closet and put pieces together I never thought of. I just bought a off white wide leg jeans from Kohls made by draper James they fit perfect and on sale.

Hallelujah! 🙌🏻
Love how you explained how to “break down” a Pinterest outfit. Never really thought about it in that way. ❤ thanks for the tip. 👍
Hope it helps! ❤️❤️
@@ANNAREID29 definitely does!❤️
Yea-ever since I started watching videos on clothes I have had tot pay attention to that. Loose w/the more form fitting etc. I also never wear black with browns but will try that. Looks clean cut I guess.
Yes;). I'm going for the tonal colors. It really makes me feel coordinated, elegant, and so easy. Slim too!!!!😊
Yes! 🙌❤️

@@nicnothingnice I agree! I was worried that my wardrobe would be boring without prints, but it really isn't.
So true! I wear solids, mostly neutrals, and then add a great handbag, jewelry, and shoes. Works every time!
Yes. Especially as I mature, I am less enamored of the way prints look on me. Prints have become aging
By the way, I consider stripes, dots, and plaid as pattern rather than print. As long as these are in classic promotions and/or color, these do not seem to age me like florals

Amazing!! I have a RL trench and I love it!

I have to tell you, I absolutely LOVE the Dolman sweater tops!! thanks so much for the heads up!
I love ,love,love this video 💯 so many great tips 👏👏👏💛💛💛
Omg those green pants look amazing on you!
I love your content, but this is an especially good video, focused mostly on styling, not shopping. Hooray! Thank you!
Yeah this video is gooood👍
The sound is good. Love the suggestions in the video so helpful
As I have replaced everything in my wardrobe over the past year, I am quite enjoying thrifting and consignment. It lets me try out styles at lower cost, as I’m still trying to figure out what looks most flattering. I specifically look for top brands and natural materials such as linen, silk, cashmere and wool.
Id like to thrift but the stores in Southern California price items like brand new retail 🙄
That's amazing! That's such a great way to try new things! ❤️❤️
I like thrifting too. It is a great guilt-free way to take a chance prints and pass them on before I feel tired in them.
You have "top brands and natural materials such as linen, silk, cashmere, and wool" in your local thrift store? Where you live? Belair? My local thrift store has Old Navy and Walmart. And they charge almost as much as for new.
@ It does take some searching, but the city where we live is home to a fair number of high income households and they tend to discard perfectly good items. I also use online sites such as Thred Up, The RealReal etc.
That "teal"top looks especially good on you Anna!Thank you for your vlog today!!♥️♥️
Thank you! I love that color too! ❤️❤️
After watching your program, I've stopped SAVING my better clothing for special occasions. I'm retired and those special occasions only happen once or twice a year. My better clothes were going out of style before I really enjoyed them. Thanks.
Love your videos, have been watching for years, and I've never once thought the sound was off/too low. Thanks for all you share here, and for the slim-figure inspo!
This was an excellent video. So instructional. I feel like I just completed a college course in fashion. You shared so many helpful tips. Off to watch your capsule video.
Such spot on helpful information. Also love your beautiful hair
Thank you! And glad you liked this video, Nancy! ❤️
Mic sounds great! No worries ❤
Thanks for offering all these tips and strategies to take the stress out of getting your outfit together. I tend to organize my closet by colors. It's like a capsule wardrobe right in your closet. The capsule wardrobe have saved me so much time and energy on 21-day cruises. It allows me to be creative with my accessories and get a little funky sometimes too!
I really appreciate all the practical, can do right now ideas. Great video.
You always have such great advice!
Really like that tip focusing on type of outfit. Good one and it’s never occurred to me . That’s why I love you!
Thank you! So glad that was helpful! ❤️❤️
I have been using a longer but lighter coat for fall events outside instead of a cardigan or blazer and it really looks so much better and I dont get chilly as easily lol
Love this! ❤️❤️
Hi Anna, I hope you're doing well,! This is my first time watching your fashion podcasts and I'm enjoying them. I like the way you mention that you don't have to spend a lot to look nice. In doing that you're inclusive which is how it's a wonderful way to be. Your 🎤 mic is great 🎉
I watch many fashion bloggers , and I always learn something new. I do have to say ...Kohls is not my go to for clothing...but you showed some nice looks. Thank you and take care ❤🎉❤🎉❤
The variety of textures in the *yutulu* pack is impressive. From smooth leather to textured suede, there's something for everyone.
I really love your second tip with cracking the code of an outfit. That is really helpful. I do fine with a capsule wardrobe I don't usually mix and match. I love finding outfits that work and just repeat. Thanks for the video! Cheers!
I never thought your sound was an issue
Thank you! I'm glad to hear it wasn't an issue for everyone! ❤️❤️
Same here. it was never an issue for me.
👍
Really love tonal dressing, so easy, very elegant. Love the oversized high neck sweaters too; have my eye on a rosy beige Reiss one, 🥰 Thanks, Anna, always enjoy your videos.
I’m going to watch this a few times. Very helpful when you find getting dressed a little overwhelming at times.
Love the formulas 💖
I love these tips!!
I am new to your channel and am enjoying it so much. I have been re-vamping my closet and started after watching the first few of your videos. Living in the PNW I have gotten into the habit of mostly wearing jeans and sweatshirts…but I’m on a mission to dress more thoughtfully now. I have new J Crew t-shirts that just arrived, one black and one white, lol. I think your ideas are spot on and you have a great way of explaining them. When I was about 30 I wore a tonal navy blue outfit with a navy blazer to Nordstrom, and a couple shoppers asked if I worked there. That is the memory that popped up when you spoke of adding a structured piece to an outfit. Looking forward to your future videos.
I rotate work clothes for 2 weeks. changing out with assorted vest, belt or scarf. I would never wear a puffer coat, horizontal stripe, moto jacket or sweatshirt. I rarely wear anything camel. Usually opt for black, grey or navy trousers and skirts, assorted tops/ tunics and tights, a few dresses, short ankle boots, a pair of white runners. Fall is well past ballet flats at this time of year- around 32F. when I leave for work.
My favorite tip you went over was mixing two neutrals and a color. Obviously, there will be variables that warrant utilizing other styles, but as a general rule, and more so on the female side of the house, mixing it up a bit does not go wrong too often. Another tip up there in rank is to peruse a mag or sites such as Pinterest etc. to just kind of look and see what appeals to you and to try it if possible. It will either work or not but if it does you will know it.
Love the outfits with the 3 stripe adidas!!! I have loved those forever!
Your new sound works great!
Omg im the sound snob! I told u about ur sound bc I love ur vids and I knew there was a simple adjustment there that would 'elevate' ur amazing presentations.....!!! Great job. U look so good and sound great ;) staci
I really like how you simplified a fashion formula. I frequently got stuck looking for exact matches! Thank you!😊
Really good and practical tips. I've got 2 problem areas I'd love to see you address: 1) I work from home or wear suits (UGH!) when visiting customers (medical sales). When I am at home, I have gotten in the habit of not "getting dressed" meaning I pretty much wear work out clothes all day. I'm sick of it but feel putting on clothes is over dressing (WOW! I just said that.) And 2) I'm tired of wearing suits and would like to hear your thoughts on dressing professionally without wearing a suit--at least some of the time. Also, your mic worked well.
Dear the audio is excellent, never noticed a problem with the mic 😊
Thank you for simplify the formula, I have so many basics now , what I really need to do is play around in my closet with the colors, textures and styles... I've come to the conclusion that although I love seeing certain styles on others,I personally don't feel comfortable using those styles in my everyday wardrobe, I mostly do errands and family style restaurants with friends... So I have been wearing straight leg jeans more often with stylish tops and slid my skinny jeans aside... It's taking a lot within me to push aside my skinny jeans😂
Very interesting video today. The Pinterst breakdown is a good way to make sense out of the inspiration. I wonder if instead of calling it a capsule wardrobe, people started calling it a 'Coordinated Collection' or 'Coordinated Wardrobe' it would lose some of the scariness. The word capsule always sounds so restricting and small.
Lots of great tips and ways to put things together. A little planning goes a long way to looking pulled together. Thank you for sharing!
I love that!!! Yes exactly - “capsule” feels like 10 items and you’re done 😀 I like your ideas much better!
I love how you break it all down and make it more simple! Loved this video 🙂 Your sound never bothered me?!?!
Loved this vlog. I have been working away from home 2 weeks and my limited clothes I have styled a dozen ways. I’m going on a cruise next month.. I keep stressing but if I implement what you say and my clothes last two weeks I’ll be okay.
Thanks for the advice.
Well done Anna and hope you don't mind me adding my two-cents but now that I am up in age I find for dress-up wear, the purchase of a quality jacket that hits at the waist is far more versatile than a long coat and can look just as glamorous. Reason given; basically they can be worn with any hem length or type of bottom as well as footwear. Plus there is also less concern of weight and bulk, not to mention cost comparison which generally is less.
Love budget friendly ideas !! ❤❤
Glad you liked this one! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm too much of a maximalist to have just 20 pieces in my closet ( I like color & variety)but I do use the idea of a capsule wardrobe to organize my closet & make any additional purchases. So I have capsules within my closet by color & somewhat by season. ( Where I currently live is warm to hot 10 months out of the year so there's no seasonal closet change out) I'm definitely a tonal or monochromatic dresser & I have my closet organized by color/ item. Tops, dresses, pants. I hang most of what I have except pj's & underwear/socks/ leggings/workout. I'm very much a jacket person ( it could be a lightweight duster sweater or crochet cardigan or kimomo) over basics & maxi dresses but I highly recommend having 2 coats. One short & one long. If you spend most of your time in a car, you'll probably need a shorter coat but if you live in a walkable city & take public trans a longer coat will be indispensable. I walk a lot & we go into the city for theatre & concerts so I like having a long coat to wear over a dress on a cooler evening. The formula idea of analyzing pinterest outfits is great. People get hung up on individual specific items & then look to buy that exact top or pant instead paying attention to the formula & silhouette. Loose over slim, slim over loose, short over long, etc. If you organize your closet by color/ item or even just color, it becomes obvious what your neutrals & accessories should be & what colors dominate in your wardrobe. You might think twice before buying another white blouse or black dress 😊
Love this!! I think I need to do a whole video on the capsule wardrobe but the name gives me anxiety 😂😂 I definitely have more than 20 items in my closet BUT having tops and bottoms that all go together in many different ways has been a game changer so that's more the point I was getting at. Also, I love my color coordinated closet, too! It just works! ❤️❤️❤️
Great tips going play round, i have minimalist wardrobe
New Zealand fan here ❤ Love your videos and grab a coffee sit down and watch always fabulous Thank you for your Time! I'm not into fashion I'm into clothes 😂
Awesome video!!!
These are really really great tips, I really appreciate the outfit formula idea and I'm looking forward to that next video on that
Really enjoy your content and love how you get to the point:)
Thank you Anna! I like your videos and Khols😊
Anna this video is a godsend for me!!
As I was listening I was quite literally missing one of my tops that I got from target 5 years ago but unfortunately had to declutter since I couldn’t get a stain out!!
Lo and behold, you showed an EXACT dupe of it to the point of having a horizontal ribbed pattern!! 🥺
I can’t tell you how excited I am. Getting two whites this time since I can’t bear the thought of getting it dirty.
Thank you!! 🤍🤍
Aw I’m so glad you found your favorite too again!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Anna, I have to stay on a budget so I buy lots of beautiful made in USA clothes at estate sales. I just found a beautiful wool cream cost with a large faux fur neckline. I agree sometimes a nice longer coat adds a lot. All great points as usual Anna. I have a pair L Conrad jeans…love them. ❤❤❤
Great video with great ideas!
What a wonderful video, I absolutely love these tips.
Thank you! I hope you find them useful! ❤️
Great video and loving your longer hair!
I love your videos!
Great video. Sound is very good
Anna, this was one of your best videos ever 😊👏 So many great tips and ideas!!
Very useful tips in this video that I will use from now on and will work it into my new year resolution to be more intentional with my outfits for 2025. Thanks!
Thank you Anna, 💐 lovely video with a lot of very useful advice. I will surely see my clothes now from a different, better point of view. I think a long, nice coat belted up does magic, for gentlemen, too! Everyone looks pulled together, as long as the coat is closed, it does not even matter so much whats worn under it. Over here, it is already cold enough that one can wear the coat while skimming through a supermaket. Wore mine to Aldi yesterday 🤭
Nice!! Love the long coat. It's such an easy upgrade! ❤️❤️
Great tips as usual! You inspire me!
Anna, any chance you would consider a video for Florida, fall & winter outfit, I know layering is our go to, perhaps something different? Please ❤
I always love your videos. You are my favorite❤❤❤
Thank you, Carol! ❤️❤️❤️
Great advice and tips 😊
Thanks so much!
Mic sounds great! 🎤
Love this! Thank you for breaking it down!
So helpful! Thank you Anna!
The sound is way better. 😊👍
Love ur vlogs! But u talking about a Limited wardrobe is pretty funny!😂
Right?
It depends on what you consider “limited” 😎
Great video! Thank you!!
I wash my turtleneck sweaters and hang to dry. before hanging, I stretch out the actual turtleneck as much as possible. then, when wearing, I roll the neck to the inside. gives a much cleaner look. try it.
Nice video, can you try some all cotton choices for us cotton girls thanks ❤
This was a great video. Good tips!!
Anna you actually live in a great city to thrift, I used to travel there often to go to the thrift stores, and got great things that were expensive if bought new. Between you and other influencers I've been able to shop my closet and put pieces together I never thought of. I just bought a off white wide leg jeans from Kohls made by draper James they fit perfect and on sale.
Anna, that blue denim is definitely your color!
