My grandma is my ultimate feminine icon. She’d put on her makeup and do her hair in curls even if we were just hanging out at the house all day. I’ll never forget all that she’s taught me! Simple, clean, polished never goes out of style.
My grandmother taught me to be simple yet polished. My mother taught me to embrace my natural beauty, not to try and “fix” it. I’m grateful for both lessons.
Are you enjoying it? I know I am! I work somewhere where I don't necessarily have to look nice or put together whatsoever and I let myself go for a few months. Now I'm taking the time to think about an outfit I feel nice in and do something different with my hair just for fun. I'm loving it and I think my husband is too!
I AM enjoying it. It makes a statement about who I am as a woman. The women with tattoos, piercings, green hair and men’s clothes aren’t the only ones who can make a statement with their clothes. Lol.
Im tired of women telling women that you don't need to do anything about yourself and love yourself you are perfect blablah.. We all need to work on ourselves! This year I've been trying to get dressed everyday instead of staying in yoga pants all day and I really see the difference.. I feel so much better and happy about myself and my day even if all I do is put earrings on, jeans and a cute feminine shirt. I'm even more productive that way.
You can wear a white t-shirt and jeans 1. Tuck the shirt 2. High-waisted jeans 3. Jewelry (bracelet, sweet necklace) 4. Use a pretty floral scarf to give it color 5. Matching purse or bag! It's basic but it looks so different and stylish if you add that!
YES! I love to dress simple and non distracting. It makes me feel like my natural beauty shines through. If I’m wearing makeup it’s additional spf via a tinted moisturizer, some mascara, and a tinted lip balm (again with extra spf).
Honestly I didn’t think I’d connect to this channel so much because I consider myself a feminist but at the end of the day, I believe that feminism is about being able to choose what makes you happy - and being feminine happens to make me happy. I appreciate how helpful this channel is, and I especially appreciate that you are so open minded!
I’m the type of woman who wears dresses and skirts as an every day outfit, even just going grocery shopping. Therefore, people have gotten used to seeing me in such outfits and don’t ask that daunting “why are you so dressed up today?” question. It’s my natural way of dressing. I appreciate the way that women in the 1950’s and 60’s used to take every day as an opportunity to dress up, use accessories like hats and gloves (in appropriate weather) and wear a full face of makeup for every day. Some women even had their “at home dresses” to do housework in and then their special occasion evening dresses for going out on the town ♥️
Ohh coming from a girl from Manhattan - dresses and skirts are the new casual here and I LOVE it - I am really not a jeans girl nor do I like the feel of pants, so I literally wear a dress or skirt every day - and it’s amazing I see so many women in the city “dressed up” but it’s so normal here it just looks put together - I wear dresses grocery shopping or running errands, and I’m definitely not the only one - it feels just a little extra but I love it
As I’ve stepped into my feminine confidence , I intuitively followed these tips. I am always put together (possibly to a fault). I have learned that you can be put together with no makeup on or relaxed hair or clothes. Personally, I detest wearing tee-shirts, gym-wear, yoga pants, and revealing clothing. Elegance, class, and self-care is a state of mind that is reflected in your physical appearance. My family and friends dress casually, so they call me “fancy pants”, “miss priss”, or say “ You look all that and here I am.” Do not let that discourage you ladies. Express yourself through your hair, clothes, makeup, perfume and demeanor. Do not lower yourself to fit into social norms. Elevate yourself and you will elevate others! Be bold enough to be you!
This is really empowering. I’m often afraid to wear nice clothes in public in fear of being seen as “stuck up”. I’ve actually started getting ready and trying to look nice every day and I’ve noticed that I’m much more productive. I also started wearing dresses out in public which is something I’ve been scared to do for yearsss. But it’s nice to know that someone else “dresses up”, or puts in a good amount of effort everyday. I feel like less of an outcast now hahah :)
McKenna Loree’ I agree with you! Except for the gym wear. Gym wear is okay to wear while doing an activity that requires it, like going to the gym or running around the block. Also, my femininity icon is Grace Kelly. She is just so elegant, feminine, and an absolutely natural beauty. We have very similar hair color, body types, coloring, and wardrobe preferences. Plus, she married a prince and became a princess! Who else is better to get my inspiration from? I highly recommend looking her up.
Same happens to me when I dress up, i got the the point when I would dress down a little bit when I know I am going to meet some people who dont dress up at all because I know that would make them feel uncomfortable and to avoid their comments but I think im gonna stop caring because I know is just jelosy.
One thing my mom always taught me was to wear short tights (biker shorts) under my dresses and skirts! It will always prevent any mishaps when it comes to dresses/skirts
My mom told me to before I started going through my rebellious teenager thing. I didn't listen to her after that and learned the hard way. Always wear your shape wear kids. Especially biker shorts. Lol.
I love the tip about looking at all time periods for fashion inspiration! There are just certain trends that don't suit me and I always felt very much inspired by the 40s/50s silhouette - just because something is trendy doesn't mean it looks good on your body :)
me too :D I got into 50's inspired clothing a couple years ago and I haven't looked back since! The way the clothes were made back then create a lovely hourglass shape, and high waisted shorts are so much more comfortable than mid rise that cut off at the same place as men's pants do, makes total sense that certain cuts work better on women!
BabydollyVintage Totally agree. I have an hourglass figure and, even though I’m a healthy weight and I do everything to be healthy, I do have a little bit of fat on my belly and in my thighs. Wearing high-rise pants and shorts shows off my curves and pulls everything in to give me a very feminine silhouette. I’ve never liked mid- and low-rise pants because they don’t work for my body type and I, personally, think that it can look really strange on women because of where our natural waistline falls. It’s like women today want to move their waistline or something. Also, these new t-shirt dresses that just remove all shape from your body just seem silly to me. It makes no sense for a woman to wear a dress, a feminine piece of clothing, and just have a straight piece of fabric with no shape and, usually, no pattern either. I have a couple but I always wear them with a belt at my waistline to give it some shape. The women of the 50s knew that women’s natural curves are something to be embraced, not hidden. I don’t know what happened.
Who’s here wishing vintage dresses were in style? I’d love to wear 50s dresses or even go back to the 1800s (even though there are so many different styles in the century)! Those dresses are so elegant and feminine! I love your videos so much! You’re so lovely!
I love the "belle epoque" style. I have patterns from the 1980s with that feel. I look forward to getting my sewing/craft stuff organized so I can make some clothes that really fit and look well. Thank you for your videos, they are so helpful and remind me of how I used to be and want to be again. ♥️
You are 24?! I felt like you could be my older, much wiser sister. Thank you for all your advice. I am currently wearing an apron over a midi skirt and baking delicious Italian bread!
A very helpful tip that I learned about shoes, jackets, and purses was that, if you're only going to wear one main bag or pair of shoes, to match it to your hair color or something close. That way, whatever your outfit color is, you will always have a put-together look, even if it is just subliminal. Not to mention that, everyone's natural hair color is a "neutral" color to begin with: black, brown, grey, tan, etc. Easy to pair! I loved this advice and have found that it makes me look so much more pulled together. Not only do those accessories match my hair... But they also match each other! Such a useful tip for looking polished! :-D
CarolinadiPadova Yes true.Thank You! I could add that If a woman doesnt have Grey hair,why do her hair in another colour? Natural can be incredible classy.Oh or these hair colours which are very close to the natural colour seem a good idea.
Thank you! I found this very helpful! I have black hair. My mum told me last year to buy a black handbag because I buy only one. She likes only black bags. But I see tan handbags everywhere in the fashion circles and I bought a tan one. I always felt like it didn't complete my outfits and now I understand why. I'm going to buy a black one this time.
I adore this women! She’s such a classic and elegant human with a eye for what is truly beautiful about the female women. It’s like reading a classic female magazine from the 1950’s. I miss this energy, I pertain to a similar lifestyle & she’s been fascinating to watch & read. I agree with all these points, she reminds me so much of what I wanted to be when I was a little girl. I looked at classic beauties like Elizabeth Taylor & Audrey Hepburn. The fact she knows her eras of fashion and beauty is so refreshing. I never cared for trends I just wanted to rock my grace and style. I want to be classic and elegant and rock the pearls elegantly but with a twist and add a leather jacket. I really appreciate the simple way this was explained. It truly reminded of things I learned when I was little reading vintage fashion magazines and it was nice to be reminded. Many blessings
*I salute all women who cultivate and work on their femininity this day and age* Differences between genders have become so washed off and it's a rarity to meet a really masculine man or a feminine woman
I love that you are always so inclusive and expansive in your definition of beauty. You are always quick to recognize that no one segment of women or physical feature has the market cornered on beauty. That is a refreshing and truthful perspective that I wish more women recognized, shared, and practiced.
Few years ago I switched totally to dresses and skirts, I own one pair of jeans, but wear them rarely. Even in winter I choose dress, but combine it with tights. I work in an office and go to work on my bicycle but it didn't discourage me from dresses. I only wear pants when I do heavy cleaning, working in garden, hiking or going for longer bicycle trip. When I couldn't find the right dress (full circle bottom, fitted bodice) I learned how to sew by watching youtube diy videos, ripped my favorite dress off, and copied all the pieces to make pattern. In 3 years I sewed about 10 dresses just like my favorite dress but in different fabrics, some more casual, some more fancy that I can wear for weddings or opera nights. Now dresses and skirts are my "to go" outfits and I really enjoy them.
Love this :) people often ask what occasion I'm going to but I'm like I always dress this way. I guess people dont see alot of people in their 20's dressing modestly and classy.
I love that she points out that if you wear a dress then you’ll have every single person ask you why you’re so dressed up. I struggle with this all the time, I usually say that I didn’t want to wear pants that day
You are the big sister that I never had! Growing up as a product of a broken family, without any siblings or mother to talk to about this kind of stuff is so hard for me. Thank God that I found you channel! Bless you and your family! 😘❤
I totally agree with this. People usually ask if I'm going out on a date but it's my style so I don't see myself as "dressed up". Why not feel beautiful everyday? Thanks for posting!!!
Thank you so much for this video AND this channel. I had been denying my femininity for so long I couldn't even "feel" like a woman anymore because I forced myself to think that being "too feminine" was a bad thing. You're helping A LOT in my journey to accept myself as a woman who likes to dress up, wear makeup and intends to stay at home instead of having a full-time career. Sometimes I feel like I'm fighting alone, but your videos give me hope (and precious knowledge). Thank you so much for taking your time to make these videos ♥️
I sooo agree with everything you said! I'm in my thirties and still learning and upgrading. I recently learned how to do my brows and wow what a difference that makes!! And it's so easy, cheap and fast too!
Thank you dear feminine sister, your content is getting better by the day! Thank you for providing us with such important advices to improve from the inside out. Love from Italy 💕
Never feel guilty for wanting to look a little bit more polished-Great advice that many of us need to hear. A great step away from hearing that we dont need to change the way we are.A little improvement here and there doesn't hurt anyone.
I love how you talked about food and eating healthy and how beneficial it is, many times this topic is left out when it comes to videos like these. Great content, please keep it coming! ❤
Great video! The tip about not having any lazy clothes in your wardrobe is something I follow. My friends are always asking me why I never wear tracksuit pants & my answer is simply - I don't own any tracksuit pants. You cant reach for them if they're not there. :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE! This video is so much the push I needed to upgrade my wardrobe with more dresses and skirts. I have been seeing the most beautiful dresses but I always pass them by because we live in such a casually dressed society I don’t want to look out of place going to just classes. Stay feminine ladies!!
Two winters ago I found a royal blue winter coat. It has been one of the best purchases I have made. Not only does it keep me warm with all the snow. (I live in western NY), the color also looks amazing on me and is so different from what others in my area wear. So I am always getting compliments on it.
You are beautiful and I love these tips. I’ve loved to dress up since a young age - and ironically there can be so much judgement among females if you take time to dress less casually or wear your makeup a certain way. I was in a small town setting at that time, but I chose to follow my own path thankfully and have found so much freedom in that.
I appreciate and completely agree. We’ve somehow forgotten and left behind an era of women who presented themselves inside and outside of the home. Not shaming, but yoga pants and t-shirts as daily attire would be frowned upon. A lady was considered “undressed” if she left her home without her hat and gloves. I truly miss women being true women operating in their feminine power.
squishy booty I understand the point you’re making. I, however, do slightly disagree. I am in unanimity with you believing that energy matters. The distinction for me is believing it is also about the state in which we position ourselves. When energy it truly harnessed it effects how we choose to show up in the world. We intuitively desire to show up as our best selves.
Wow your thumbnail for this video really stands out. Had to click on it. Love your channel, think you were one of the 1st youtubers I ever subscribed to. Take care. Thanks for all your videos
I appreciate this video. I've been working on trying to work on my own self love and expression and a huge part of that is what I put in and on my body. The area I grew up in (and currently reside in) has such different expectations/ideas as to what a woman I should look like...And I'm learning to accept who I am...And that it's acceptable to be me. It's a process and I'm learning to enjoy hair, clothes and being present in the moment again...I had gained a significant amount of weight after enduring some tragedies (death)...I encourage the woman watching this to not be afraid-embrace the beauty standards that are right for you. Don't allow yourself to think or feel like you are out of place or vain for enjoying looking nice. Your outer beauty is just as important as your inner beauty! You deserve to be loved, seen and heard for who you are...Much Love!
I love this channel!! Often I am shamed for wanting to dress nice and have my hair/makeup done no matter where I go. Glad to know others feel this way too ❤️
I think your style is so elegant. I am trying to make extra effort to stay looking put together. Especially since I’m almost five months pregnant. Feeling put together makes me feel better about my changing body. Much love❤️
Watching this because i dress way to casual , and when I do wear a dresse (it’s a yellow wrap dress) my son tells me I look like a princess belle! I love to hear that so I want to wear more skirts and dresses
Love it! I found my signature lip color recently, stopped eating red meat and and excess dairy, cut out soda, and I am picking up my skirt for work tonight! (:
I am Norah from Uganda, this channel has improved me greatly. i have moved from being just a girly girl to being intentional about how i present my self in a 360 degree kind if way. Keep up the good work you inspire me to be better.
Your point of view is always so interesting and inclusive,thank you so much for inspiration! 😊 I especially enjoy your beauty videos because they are so unique and exactly the advice I was looking for but could never find anywhere. Love your videos, you radiate so much light, you are so gorgeous💕 love from sweden
I'm a working mother. I found all your points encouraging & inspiring for me to be more feminine. I love nude tights with my dresses & shorts lol Great Vid! ☀🏝 - from Los Angeles
@@nachogirlbrey5878 No nonsense is great pantyhose. I wear them to sometimes even though I prefer stockings. They hold up well and are very cost efficient.
7:12 for extra coverage, you can also get tight shorts! I got mine from a dancer’s supply store for dancing originally, but I wear them under dresses on windy days as well.
Completely agree that matching underwear makes you feel good! Good undergarments(slips/ hose/ shape wear) makes clothes lay so much better on all figures! Love your videos.
I love how aware you try to be of people who look different than you and have different lifestyles. I like that you are clear that what works for you may not work for someone else and always focus on happiness and health! Thank you for that :)
Hello from the Netherlands!🇳🇱 I’m 18 (and a half haha) and growing up I wasn’t feminine at all. I didn’t want to wear dresses or skirts, I wasn’t really bothered with looking polished or even a bit presentable. I think I’m a bit of a late bloomer because I’m just now getting into taking care of myself and make up and clothes etc (the typical things associated with girls). I still feel pretty uncomfortable with those things, but your TH-cam channel helps me a lot with knowing how to act and how to dress (you give a lot of advice 😌😄💕 and I see you as a big sister of sorts :). Thank you so much!
I was the same, started getting into dresses and makeup at about 18. I felt self conscious dressing more feminine for a while, but then it just became my new normal 😊
I love what you said about "your own beauty formula". What A GREAT idea! I often get stuck wishing I could look good in clothes, hairstyles, and accessories that do not work for my body and complexion. I'm now inspired to make a "my beauty formula" Pinterest board so I can gain some great images to fit my type and personality!
I so agree with you in this video. I love wearing dresses and skirts and have and do most of my life since an adolescent. I have prepared my outfits in advance and have fun with it. It"s fun. Strangely enough I encounter people who say are you going to church just because I'm wearing a dress or skirt which is not why I wear this type of clothing. Accessories are a great addition to your wordrobe. You are right on point with this video. Express yourself with your fashion looks. Great video. I will share it
A slip has saved me many of times from everyone seeing my undergarments on a windy day. It should be in every woman's wardrobe who wears dresses or skirts.
Love this!! It’s 9am and I was eating oatmeal in an old nightgown and a sporty zip up jacket. Got me to change! This is one of the best videos of yours!
I watch as soon as I see you post a video! You've got my support and I love this unique & honest & feminine community so much. I felt so alone before but now I know I'm not!
You and every other viewer will Love Aly Art’s fashion for the body types series. It’s not based on weight at all, but elements of the beauty formulas as you put it, in the different bodies around the world! I think your body type is a soft dramatic. You should check them out ☺️
Omg I feel like this is for me! Haha. I’ve commented about how I’m a very busy student and I live in yoga pants and hoodies! I’ve already upgraded a bit and put more effort into my look but my biggest challenge is consistency and not over indulging in food when I’m stressed. Thank you for your vids, you have amazing content!
I love your videos!! Helps me so much to be a better wife, homemaker, and feminine woman in general. I was wondering if you could do a video on baby steps for feminine wear. Like how to be feminine in jeans or sneakers etc. How to create a feminine outfit, etc. Just because I absolutely have no clue as not growing up with much reference or guidance and I’m sure there are others in similar situations. Thank you for your lovely videos! God bless!
Thank you so much! I‘d love to see a video about you putting together your own outfits, your makeup and hair routine. I‘m sure we could all learn a lot from it!🌸✨
Hi Kat I have decided three yrs ago to only where skirts and to dress up every day except my sabbath I usually have to work Sunday after church but I have no regrets about ditching my Jean's I did the change to my wardrobe do to a scripture I read and I love to paint a French manicure on my nails by the way I love your channel.
I enjoyed this video-Thank you. Where I live in central California, it’s quite casual but I wear dresses or skirts every single day in the warmer 8 months of the year and still dress up in winter too. People just see it as the way I am I think. It’s how I am most comfortable.
@mrsmidwest I just randomly found your channel.. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! i feel your are very close to be everything I want to be ❤️❤️ thanks for all the great tips
Good few years back I used to not understand the point of 'expensive', kind of stylish underwear at all. I would wear whatever seemed comfortable. I thought 'waste of money, nobody sees this anyway'. Then I picked up a pair of nude hold ups for a wedding outfit, then some more fitted bra or two and it went from there. You don't need some crazy sexy, provocative underwear but well fitted pretty bra or a bralette, a bit of lace here and there can really make you feel so good in your clothes, so much better about your body, makes wonders for the confidence. I struggled for years to feel feminine because of rather slim figure, smaller breasts but this really helped. It's just like a pretty frame for a painting. It was a discovery for me lol. A simple dress and skirt feel so much more feminine with proper undergarments. I always associate it with very elegant, pretty, classy, ladies from decades ago. Every woman needs a good magic drawer of those 😊
I love slips,frilly bras and underwater. Vintage inspired or even vintage are the most beautiful. Look at vintage adds for what women wore back in the 40s,50s and 60s under their dresses and skirts. It was just lovely! Don't get me wrong plain undergarments have there place but when I want to get dolled up, I do it all the way.

You are so breathtakingly beautiful Caitlin 👑 you did such a great job not feeling bad for yourself and getting up and making the change that you wanted to see❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love your advice! Totally agree that if we just have a wardrobe of comfortable but elegant and cute it would be so easy to just look more polished each day and not even take much more effort! Simple but effective. I would love to see an everyday makeup tutorial!!
Lattes are okay if you stick to a small classic latte with out any syrup or sugar. I have one homemade small latte a day at breakfast and it's something I get to look forward to and enjoy. Learning moderation is key and once you understand it you will begin to enjoy and appreciate what you consume ❤
Found you via Alexander Grace. Appreciate how genuine and encouraging you are. I'm so glad you are helping revive femininity from the brink of extinction. I definitely needed this video and now I'm inspired! Effort is a good thing. I look forward to diving into your channel and sharing with others.
I need to think more on the 'beauty formula' idea. That was such a great point! Appreciating and accepting what we do have, love it. I've been trying to dress more polished but I've still been getting the outlines of my outfits wrong and feeling awful when I catch my reflection.
My grandma is my ultimate feminine icon. She’d put on her makeup and do her hair in curls even if we were just hanging out at the house all day. I’ll never forget all that she’s taught me! Simple, clean, polished never goes out of style.
My grandma too 💟
My grandmother taught me to be simple yet polished. My mother taught me to embrace my natural beauty, not to try and “fix” it. I’m grateful for both lessons.
Does she still have good soft hair?
I’m already less frumpy because of this channel. I’m slowly but surely upgrading my wardrobe. And I’m spending more time on my hair.
Are you enjoying it? I know I am! I work somewhere where I don't necessarily have to look nice or put together whatsoever and I let myself go for a few months. Now I'm taking the time to think about an outfit I feel nice in and do something different with my hair just for fun. I'm loving it and I think my husband is too!
I AM enjoying it. It makes a statement about who I am as a woman. The women with tattoos, piercings, green hair and men’s clothes aren’t the only ones who can make a statement with their clothes. Lol.
@@sklanguage589 Yaaaaaaaaaas
You go girlfriend
SK Language oh how wonderful!!
I love that you aren't afraid to talk about outer beauty.
Our Christian barbie is back.
Braty Baby FACT
🤭 what a cute way of describing her
Im tired of women telling women that you don't need to do anything about yourself and love yourself you are perfect blablah.. We all need to work on ourselves! This year I've been trying to get dressed everyday instead of staying in yoga pants all day and I really see the difference.. I feel so much better and happy about myself and my day even if all I do is put earrings on, jeans and a cute feminine shirt. I'm even more productive that way.
I agree with you 100%
Brina Lee absolutely right 👌👌👌👌
yes keeping your shit together helps your life and the lives of everyone who comes into contact with you!
Yes! Self care is soooo important. We have to love and take care of ourselves
Totally agree my grandmother and mother always go "fixed up for them and to hell with everyone else opinions "
You do look like a Barbie, a natural version. God bless you 💘💘
You can wear a white t-shirt and jeans
1. Tuck the shirt
2. High-waisted jeans
3. Jewelry (bracelet, sweet necklace)
4. Use a pretty floral scarf to give it color
5. Matching purse or bag!
It's basic but it looks so different and stylish if you add that!
YES! I love to dress simple and non distracting. It makes me feel like my natural beauty shines through. If I’m wearing makeup it’s additional spf via a tinted moisturizer, some mascara, and a tinted lip balm (again with extra spf).
Also if you add a nice heel to it. Would elevate the Outfit soooo much more. Heels make the big difference.
FreddyMyLove is a beautiful TH-camr who has a video on how to style jeans in a more feminine way. That’s for anyone who wants tips.
I agree
Could you please do a closet tour? Show how you pair outfits together and how you add in jewelry and accessories and things like that.
Yes!!!!:D
Yes! :)
Yesss pleaseee
Yaaaaas!
I would love this too!

Seass finally someone like me.I felt sometimes alone.Yes, love to skirts and dresses.They are beautiful and make us feel good
I also live in Manhattan and this is true!
I am from germany and FINALY someone who understands me!!! Jeans and trousers are just sooo uncomfortable, even when they are stretchy or sth🙄

Rachael D. That's great. My mother didn't teach me it, had to learn it myself. My mom still don't wear them 😉
My mom told me to before I started going through my rebellious teenager thing. I didn't listen to her after that and learned the hard way. Always wear your shape wear kids. Especially biker shorts. Lol.
I did this with my daughters when they were little❤
I love the tip about looking at all time periods for fashion inspiration! There are just certain trends that don't suit me and I always felt very much inspired by the 40s/50s silhouette - just because something is trendy doesn't mean it looks good on your body :)
me too :D I got into 50's inspired clothing a couple years ago and I haven't looked back since! The way the clothes were made back then create a lovely hourglass shape, and high waisted shorts are so much more comfortable than mid rise that cut off at the same place as men's pants do, makes total sense that certain cuts work better on women!
BabydollyVintage Totally agree. I have an hourglass figure and, even though I’m a healthy weight and I do everything to be healthy, I do have a little bit of fat on my belly and in my thighs. Wearing high-rise pants and shorts shows off my curves and pulls everything in to give me a very feminine silhouette. I’ve never liked mid- and low-rise pants because they don’t work for my body type and I, personally, think that it can look really strange on women because of where our natural waistline falls. It’s like women today want to move their waistline or something. Also, these new t-shirt dresses that just remove all shape from your body just seem silly to me. It makes no sense for a woman to wear a dress, a feminine piece of clothing, and just have a straight piece of fabric with no shape and, usually, no pattern either. I have a couple but I always wear them with a belt at my waistline to give it some shape. The women of the 50s knew that women’s natural curves are something to be embraced, not hidden. I don’t know what happened.
I love vintage and retro fashion. I like the 40s and 50s also.
Yeah! Historical fashion gives me so much inspiration to modest classy dressing.
Who’s here wishing vintage dresses were in style? I’d love to wear 50s dresses or even go back to the 1800s (even though there are so many different styles in the century)! Those dresses are so elegant and feminine!
I love your videos so much! You’re so lovely!
I wear vintage, classic and retro style clothing.
I love the "belle epoque" style. I have patterns from the 1980s with that feel. I look forward to getting my sewing/craft stuff organized so I can make some clothes that really fit and look well. Thank you for your videos, they are so helpful and remind me of how I used to be and want to be again. ♥️
I mean you can just wear them anyway! I feel like vintage is always in style
Ditto! I love the fashion of 15 century, 1830, 1860, 1930 and 1950. Wish i could wear those kind of outfits.
It’s been a struggle waking up recently, thank you for being such a light in such a dark world. Loved this vid!
I hope ur doing better!God has u and he loves u!
You are 24?! I felt like you could be my older, much wiser sister. Thank you for all your advice. I am currently wearing an apron over a midi skirt and baking delicious Italian bread!
I am 25...n i think she is way more mature than me😂
I’m wearing my apron and baking a loaf of sourdough!
You should definitely do a "week of outfits" or lookbook video!
👏🏼🥰 yasssss
A very helpful tip that I learned about shoes, jackets, and purses was that, if you're only going to wear one main bag or pair of shoes, to match it to your hair color or something close. That way, whatever your outfit color is, you will always have a put-together look, even if it is just subliminal. Not to mention that, everyone's natural hair color is a "neutral" color to begin with: black, brown, grey, tan, etc. Easy to pair! I loved this advice and have found that it makes me look so much more pulled together. Not only do those accessories match my hair... But they also match each other! Such a useful tip for looking polished! :-D
CarolinadiPadova Yes true.Thank You! I could add that If a woman doesnt have Grey hair,why do her hair in another colour? Natural can be incredible classy.Oh or these hair colours which are very close to the natural colour seem a good idea.
Thank you! I found this very helpful! I have black hair. My mum told me last year to buy a black handbag because I buy only one. She likes only black bags. But I see tan handbags everywhere in the fashion circles and I bought a tan one. I always felt like it didn't complete my outfits and now I understand why. I'm going to buy a black one this time.
As a blond what colour should i go for?
Update: Nevermind. I tried light/middel brown bags- shoes and i think they are better than black for us.
I adore this women! She’s such a classic and elegant human with a eye for what is truly beautiful about the female women. It’s like reading a classic female magazine from the 1950’s. I miss this energy, I pertain to a similar lifestyle & she’s been fascinating to watch & read. I agree with all these points, she reminds me so much of what I wanted to be when I was a little girl. I looked at classic beauties like Elizabeth Taylor & Audrey Hepburn. The fact she knows her eras of fashion and beauty is so refreshing. I never cared for trends I just wanted to rock my grace and style. I want to be classic and elegant and rock the pearls elegantly but with a twist and add a leather jacket.
I really appreciate the simple way this was explained. It truly reminded of things I learned when I was little reading vintage fashion magazines and it was nice to be reminded. Many blessings
You encourage me to not be scared of what the world has to say about me , my femininity or my faith in Christ! Thank you for your videos! xo
I'm a feminine sister all the way from South Africa
@ hello my feminine sisters down south
I feel the same 🙌 Brazilian sister here. It's amazing to know we're not alone
Adel Heine me too! Hello South African sister ❤️🇿🇦
Hi from South Africa too🙋♂️
A fellow South African in Australia saying hello!
*I salute all women who cultivate and work on their femininity this day and age*
Differences between genders have become so washed off and it's a rarity to meet a really masculine man or a feminine woman
Definitely!
🖤
I like how you always comment on her videos, I always expect to see you down here now 😂😂
So true👌
Yes! It does all cost money though so these kind of feminine women will more than likely only choose a man who is a great provider :)
I love that you are always so inclusive and expansive in your definition of beauty. You are always quick to recognize that no one segment of women or physical feature has the market cornered on beauty. That is a refreshing and truthful perspective that I wish more women recognized, shared, and practiced.
Few years ago I switched totally to dresses and skirts, I own one pair of jeans, but wear them rarely. Even in winter I choose dress, but combine it with tights. I work in an office and go to work on my bicycle but it didn't discourage me from dresses. I only wear pants when I do heavy cleaning, working in garden, hiking or going for longer bicycle trip. When I couldn't find the right dress (full circle bottom, fitted bodice) I learned how to sew by watching youtube diy videos, ripped my favorite dress off, and copied all the pieces to make pattern. In 3 years I sewed about 10 dresses just like my favorite dress but in different fabrics, some more casual, some more fancy that I can wear for weddings or opera nights. Now dresses and skirts are my "to go" outfits and I really enjoy them.
I’m starting to accept feminine style and hairstyle again and I’m becoming so happy.
I love sparkly accessories 💖💖💖💖
I need to just get rid of at least half my clothes, this video has finally given me the inspiration to do that.
How has the clear out gone?
I recently emptied my wardrobe and I'm so happy I did 🤗
Hope you're having fun with it! X
Love this :) people often ask what occasion I'm going to but I'm like I always dress this way. I guess people dont see alot of people in their 20's dressing modestly and classy.
I love that she points out that if you wear a dress then you’ll have every single person ask you why you’re so dressed up. I struggle with this all the time, I usually say that I didn’t want to wear pants that day
You are the big sister that I never had! Growing up as a product of a broken family, without any siblings or mother to talk to about this kind of stuff is so hard for me. Thank God that I found you channel! Bless you and your family! 😘❤
I totally agree with this. People usually ask if I'm going out on a date but it's my style so I don't see myself as "dressed up". Why not feel beautiful everyday? Thanks for posting!!!
Thank you so much for this video AND this channel. I had been denying my femininity for so long I couldn't even "feel" like a woman anymore because I forced myself to think that being "too feminine" was a bad thing. You're helping A LOT in my journey to accept myself as a woman who likes to dress up, wear makeup and intends to stay at home instead of having a full-time career. Sometimes I feel like I'm fighting alone, but your videos give me hope (and precious knowledge). Thank you so much for taking your time to make these videos ♥️
I feel that too in Brazil. Glad to know I'm not alone! :)
@@juliecopernik3434 nosso país é puxado kkkkk (e nossa, brasileiros tão por tudo mesmo)
I love how you motivate me to get outside of my comfort zone but are totally open minded and nonjudgmental ❤️
I sooo agree with everything you said! I'm in my thirties and still learning and upgrading. I recently learned how to do my brows and wow what a difference that makes!! And it's so easy, cheap and fast too!
Thank you dear feminine sister, your content is getting better by the day! Thank you for providing us with such important advices to improve from the inside out. Love from Italy 💕
Never feel guilty for wanting to look a little bit more polished-Great advice that many of us need to hear. A great step away from hearing that we dont need to change the way we are.A little improvement here and there doesn't hurt anyone.
I love how you talked about food and eating healthy and how beneficial it is, many times this topic is left out when it comes to videos like these. Great content, please keep it coming! ❤
Omg you would love Japan! EVERYONE is so feminine and polished here
I love that your advice isn’t just specific opinions. Anyone can take it and run with it as they choose
Great video! The tip about not having any lazy clothes in your wardrobe is something I follow. My friends are always asking me why I never wear tracksuit pants & my answer is simply - I don't own any tracksuit pants. You cant reach for them if they're not there. :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE! This video is so much the push I needed to upgrade my wardrobe with more dresses and skirts. I have been seeing the most beautiful dresses but I always pass them by because we live in such a casually dressed society I don’t want to look out of place going to just classes. Stay feminine ladies!!
Two winters ago I found a royal blue winter coat. It has been one of the best purchases I have made. Not only does it keep me warm with all the snow. (I live in western NY), the color also looks amazing on me and is so different from what others in my area wear. So I am always getting compliments on it.
You are beautiful and I love these tips. I’ve loved to dress up since a young age - and ironically there can be so much judgement among females if you take time to dress less casually or wear your makeup a certain way. I was in a small town setting at that time, but I chose to follow my own path thankfully and have found so much freedom in that.
I love the way you enunciate your speech with little flourishes. So positive and cheerful.
I appreciate and completely agree. We’ve somehow forgotten and left behind an era of women who presented themselves inside and outside of the home. Not shaming, but yoga pants and t-shirts as daily attire would be frowned upon. A lady was considered “undressed” if she left her home without her hat and gloves.
I truly miss women being true women operating in their feminine power.
As long as we bring the polished energy into our outfit, it doesnt matter what ur wearing tbh
squishy booty I understand the point you’re making. I, however, do slightly disagree. I am in unanimity with you believing that energy matters. The distinction for me is believing it is also about the state in which we position ourselves.
When energy it truly harnessed it effects how we choose to show up in the world. We intuitively desire to show up as our best selves.
I miss that too. I am reinventing ting myself and who cares if others think I am overdressed. It's my money. My life. My well being
Wow your thumbnail for this video really stands out. Had to click on it. Love your channel, think you were one of the 1st youtubers I ever subscribed to. Take care. Thanks for all your videos
I appreciate this video. I've been working on trying to work on my own self love and expression and a huge part of that is what I put in and on my body. The area I grew up in (and currently reside in) has such different expectations/ideas as to what a woman I should look like...And I'm learning to accept who I am...And that it's acceptable to be me. It's a process and I'm learning to enjoy hair, clothes and being present in the moment again...I had gained a significant amount of weight after enduring some tragedies (death)...I encourage the woman watching this to not be afraid-embrace the beauty standards that are right for you. Don't allow yourself to think or feel like you are out of place or vain for enjoying looking nice. Your outer beauty is just as important as your inner beauty! You deserve to be loved, seen and heard for who you are...Much Love!
I love this channel!! Often I am shamed for wanting to dress nice and have my hair/makeup done no matter where I go. Glad to know others feel this way too ❤️
Great video! I have a 95 year old friend who always looks put together. She is a real inspiration, as are you!
I think your style is so elegant. I am trying to make extra effort to stay looking put together. Especially since I’m almost five months pregnant. Feeling put together makes me feel better about my changing body. Much love❤️
I really appreciate the realness of your videos, especially the dog walking around.
Watching this because i dress way to casual , and when I do wear a dresse (it’s a yellow wrap dress) my son tells me I look like a princess belle! I love to hear that so I want to wear more skirts and dresses
Love it! I found my signature lip color recently, stopped eating red meat and and excess dairy, cut out soda, and I am picking up my skirt for work tonight! (:
I am Norah from Uganda, this channel has improved me greatly. i have moved from being just a girly girl to being intentional about how i present my self in a 360 degree kind if way. Keep up the good work you inspire me to be better.
Your point of view is always so interesting and inclusive,thank you so much for inspiration! 😊 I especially enjoy your beauty videos because they are so unique and exactly the advice I was looking for but could never find anywhere. Love your videos, you radiate so much light, you are so gorgeous💕 love from sweden
Love this message! It's all about anything that brings a sprinkle of
Joy🌻🌹 saying hello to you and blessings to you
I'm a working mother. I found all your points encouraging & inspiring for me to be more feminine. I love nude tights with my dresses & shorts lol Great Vid! ☀🏝 - from Los Angeles
Ms. Mom ~ May I ask, do you have a brand preference for nude tights / hosiery? Ahead of time, thank you so very much!
No Nonsense from Amazon. I prefer a sheer but not sparkly pantyhose. I'm also pale so these also work in my favor.
@@nachogirlbrey5878 No nonsense is great pantyhose. I wear them to sometimes even though I prefer stockings. They hold up well and are very cost efficient.
7:12 for extra coverage, you can also get tight shorts! I got mine from a dancer’s supply store for dancing originally, but I wear them under dresses on windy days as well.
I do the same 😊 it makes me feel more confident wearing skirts/dresses on breezy days
Completely agree that matching underwear makes you feel good! Good undergarments(slips/ hose/ shape wear) makes clothes lay so much better on all figures! Love your videos.
This hairstyle looks so flattering on you! 🥰
I love your videos so much. Can't describe how much they changed her life.
I still remember my grandmother keeping her red lipstick in her kitchen cabinet and reapplying it during the day.
You inspire me sooo much!It's a pleasure to watch your videos!
I love how aware you try to be of people who look different than you and have different lifestyles. I like that you are clear that what works for you may not work for someone else and always focus on happiness and health! Thank you for that :)
Hello from the Netherlands!🇳🇱 I’m 18 (and a half haha) and growing up I wasn’t feminine at all. I didn’t want to wear dresses or skirts, I wasn’t really bothered with looking polished or even a bit presentable. I think I’m a bit of a late bloomer because I’m just now getting into taking care of myself and make up and clothes etc (the typical things associated with girls). I still feel pretty uncomfortable with those things, but your TH-cam channel helps me a lot with knowing how to act and how to dress (you give a lot of advice 😌😄💕 and I see you as a big sister of sorts :). Thank you so much!
Hi my fellow Dutchie ;)
@@kuki2349 Hey!! Wat leuk zeg :D
I was the same, started getting into dresses and makeup at about 18. I felt self conscious dressing more feminine for a while, but then it just became my new normal 😊
I love what you said about "your own beauty formula". What A GREAT idea! I often get stuck wishing I could look good in clothes, hairstyles, and accessories that do not work for my body and complexion. I'm now inspired to make a "my beauty formula" Pinterest board so I can gain some great images to fit my type and personality!
I so agree with you in this video. I love wearing dresses and skirts and have and do most of my life since an adolescent. I have prepared my outfits in advance and have fun with it. It"s fun. Strangely enough I encounter people who say are you going to church just because I'm wearing a dress or skirt which is not why I wear this type of clothing. Accessories are a great addition to your wordrobe. You are right on point with this video. Express yourself with your fashion looks. Great video. I will share it
A slip has saved me many of times from everyone seeing my undergarments on a windy day. It should be in every woman's wardrobe who wears dresses or skirts.
In my opinion, your hairstyle and makeup in this video is the best of all of your videos that I've watched so far. I'm ready to subscribe.
Love your channel and messages! All the way from London, UK x
Muslima 101 yay! I was hoping I put it up in time for my UK sisters to catch 😍
Love this!! It’s 9am and I was eating oatmeal in an old nightgown and a sporty zip up jacket. Got me to change! This is one of the best videos of yours!
LOVE LOVE LOVE! I am on this journey right now - thank you for the inspiration Caitlin! ♥
I watch as soon as I see you post a video! You've got my support and I love this unique & honest & feminine community so much. I felt so alone before but now I know I'm not!
You and every other viewer will Love Aly Art’s fashion for the body types series. It’s not based on weight at all, but elements of the beauty formulas as you put it, in the different bodies around the world! I think your body type is a soft dramatic. You should check them out ☺️
Omg I feel like this is for me! Haha. I’ve commented about how I’m a very busy student and I live in yoga pants and hoodies! I’ve already upgraded a bit and put more effort into my look but my biggest challenge is consistency and not over indulging in food when I’m stressed. Thank you for your vids, you have amazing content!
Love your tips so much - I watch very few videos all the way through but you give such good advice!x
I love your videos!! Helps me so much to be a better wife, homemaker, and feminine woman in general.
I was wondering if you could do a video on baby steps for feminine wear. Like how to be feminine in jeans or sneakers etc. How to create a feminine outfit, etc.
Just because I absolutely have no clue as not growing up with much reference or guidance and I’m sure there are others in similar situations.
Thank you for your lovely videos! God bless!
Thank you so much!
I‘d love to see a video about you putting together your own outfits, your makeup and hair routine. I‘m sure we could all learn a lot from it!🌸✨
Hi Kat I have decided three yrs ago to only where skirts and to dress up every day except my sabbath I usually have to work Sunday after church but I have no regrets about ditching my Jean's I did the change to my wardrobe do to a scripture I read and I love to paint a French manicure on my nails by the way I love your channel.
Can you do a video about your make up and skincare routine?
Btw i really enjoy your content 😍❤️
Sending a loot of love from Morocco ❤😍 ur my idol and im sooo proud to be a member of the feminine family ❤❤
I would love you to have a conversation with The Daily Connoisseur. I love you both!
They both are wonderful am with you they should have a meet up
i love everything about her.. best advice i take from this is to stay inspired.
I enjoyed this video-Thank you. Where I live in central California, it’s quite casual but I wear dresses or skirts every single day in the warmer 8 months of the year and still dress up in winter too. People just see it as the way I am I think. It’s how I am most comfortable.
@mrsmidwest I just randomly found your channel.. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! i feel your are very close to be everything I want to be ❤️❤️ thanks for all the great tips
Yes!! Wal Mart! I have gotten so many compliments on my stuff from there.
Good few years back I used to not understand the point of 'expensive', kind of stylish underwear at all. I would wear whatever seemed comfortable. I thought 'waste of money, nobody sees this anyway'. Then I picked up a pair of nude hold ups for a wedding outfit, then some more fitted bra or two and it went from there. You don't need some crazy sexy, provocative underwear but well fitted pretty bra or a bralette, a bit of lace here and there can really make you feel so good in your clothes, so much better about your body, makes wonders for the confidence. I struggled for years to feel feminine because of rather slim figure, smaller breasts but this really helped. It's just like a pretty frame for a painting. It was a discovery for me lol. A simple dress and skirt feel so much more feminine with proper undergarments. I always associate it with very elegant, pretty, classy, ladies from decades ago. Every woman needs a good magic drawer of those 😊
I love slips,frilly bras and underwater. Vintage inspired or even vintage are the most beautiful. Look at vintage adds for what women wore back in the 40s,50s and 60s under their dresses and skirts. It was just lovely! Don't get me wrong plain undergarments have there place but when I want to get dolled up, I do it all the way.

You are a perfect woman in every way. I love your message and everything you stand for
I love your advice! Totally agree that if we just have a wardrobe of comfortable but elegant and cute it would be so easy to just look more polished each day and not even take much more effort! Simple but effective. I would love to see an everyday makeup tutorial!!
I’m soul in love for this Chanel and for you. Thank you Sister!
So early!!! You’re amazing, thank you for your videos and particularly this one because I’ve really been thinking about this topic lately♥️
Yes agreed!👍🏻
I always love your content! Very classy! Can you please do a hair tutorial of how you have styled your hair for this video? It looks beautiful!!! xxx
Could we possibly get a outfits of the week video? to get more of a visual on putting outfits together. Please and Thank you ☺️
that would be awesome
You sound like Barbie. I love you. You’re so well spoken and have a wonderful voice. I love this.
Lattes are okay if you stick to a small classic latte with out any syrup or sugar. I have one homemade small latte a day at breakfast and it's something I get to look forward to and enjoy. Learning moderation is key and once you understand it you will begin to enjoy and appreciate what you consume ❤
Found you via Alexander Grace. Appreciate how genuine and encouraging you are. I'm so glad you are helping revive femininity from the brink of extinction. I definitely needed this video and now I'm inspired! Effort is a good thing. I look forward to diving into your channel and sharing with others.
You are such a sweet person.Thanks for all your advices!
I need to think more on the 'beauty formula' idea. That was such a great point! Appreciating and accepting what we do have, love it. I've been trying to dress more polished but I've still been getting the outlines of my outfits wrong and feeling awful when I catch my reflection.
