Ooh Audrey, your first white blouse (paired with white pants) is an absolute dream!!!
Is there any chance you could link it, please? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Also, in the spirit of extreme irony, thank you for the timely reminder that what works for one person may not make sense for another. It can be so hard to take a step back when the “need” to acquire a new piece takes hold, but I’m making a concerted effort to do so in 2023, spurred on by your content.
Same, I’d like to know about the cream outfit as well.
The white blouse looks like the Jane blouse from Doen.
@@eliz9822 I think it could be the Lea from SÉZANE (I have a couple of white Janes from Doen, and Audrey’s blouse is definitely not the same fabric - I’m guessing silk - plus the cuffs are different 🤨).
The mystery continues!
Yes! need to know where the white blouse is from :)
Hi! Absolutely :) it’s the Lea shirt from sezane 🤍🤍 seza.ne/QxgkFDjvN2
I've noticed many influencers are rethinking their wardrobes after years of culling their closets (to the basics). It is really refreshing. "Basics" should be personal and individualistic.
I agree! What is "basic" to one person is not the same as what's "basic" to another. I love bright colors and unusual prints, yet in my quest to make my wardrobe look timeless, I removed much-adored pieces from my collection. I'm glad I kept some favorite pieces stashed away because I've been able to bring them back upon realizing they are foundational pieces to me. Those happy colors and strange prints "lift" my neutrals and are a true expression of my personality.
@@irairod5160 I love color too!
@@irairod5160 I was looking for this comment only! I too love my basics but equally adoreee bold, bright pieces! To each his own!
@@swatigautam1686 ❤ Can't help it! I'm from the Caribbean! Grey and beige are not eye-catching enough for me, and black is a "supporting" or "framing" color.
That's because minimalism and the overuse of beige and nude as colors were only trends which are coming to their end
I'm almost 68 years old and I am holding on to some clothes that I wore 20 years ago that I loved. I was very thin then and now I'm not yet I unrealistically think that if I exercise and diet more consistently I will be able to fit in them again!!! They are getting donated!!!
You have really taught me the value of shopping with purpose and the benefits of actually caring for your clothes. It fosters a much deeper and healthier relationship with one’s wardrobe.
This makes me so happy! 🥰❤️
I've always found the basic "capsule wardrobe" concept fascinating, but to me, it seemed very limiting and boring. I think creativity is the signature of each individual's personal style. You are right. There needs to be a balance.
when the term was starting to take off it could mean just pairing down your closet to only having a weeks 7 days worth of clothes. Then with the rise of the auster minimalism along with the capsule wardrobe it started to be paired with monochromatic or boring neutral colors in clothes. Pair down to a week's worth or 30 items of clothes of your favorite colors patters etc just make sure they pair well together
It's so nice to hear someone say that clothes don't all need to be basics. It's a great way to start, specially if on a budget, but getting something unique to just yourself is so refreshing!
I’d love to see a video on your “not basic” clothes. It would be really fun to see what you chose to give your closet some flare 😊
I agree completely. After years of trying I've decided I hate jeans. I hate how heavy and constricting they are and I hate how they feel. So no more trying, no more jeans for me, no matter how stylish or trendy they might be :)
Me too! Sold my last pair of jeans four months ago and don’t regret it!
Me too, only wear jeggings now - bliss 😊
Also, I have stopped focusing on the size versus how the article of clothing flatters my figure.
Yes - great thinking ! I've sizes 4-6-8 & S-M-L ( US sizing ) in my closet & thankfully have found a couple sources that " run true " for me personally that I can confidently buy w/ out trying on .
I think the rule of 80-90% of your wardrobe should be basic classic pieces the other 10-20% should be trend pieces or special pieces to keep your wardrobe fresh ❤
Facts about getting rid of uncomfortable clothes. I've hated wearing wool for years because it made my skin itch while I was wearing it. When I discovered cashmere, I started getting rid of anything wool that wasn't comfortable and cozy.
I agree w the recommendation to put things aside for 6-12 months b4 donating-sometimes we don’t wear something coz it doesn’t fit & we still love it, but after we lose weight we could wear it again. I had an adorable brown suede skirt I bought years ago that would still be fashionable today, but I think I donated it too soon & now wish I had it. Use an “on hold” bin in garage for this purpose & revisit it in 6-12 months.
I agree with this idea, it is something I started doing a couple of years ago and it’s helped me. I have a tendency to be too aggressive when cleaning out. I’ve found that after several months, I actually did want to go back to some of those items that initially were in the discard pile. Not all, but some! Glad I held on to them.
"Living in anticipatory regret" is such an elegant and accurate way of describing it. Powerful messages in this video Audrey, well said and a great way to motivate me to stick with my goals through what is already a challenging year! 🖤
Edit because I forgot lol: I'd love a video covering how to shop for shoes! So how you make sure they're good quality, and if there are any tips or tricks you have for predicting if they'll be comfortable after a few hours or a long walk.
This is such a (literal) pain point for me, my only comfortable pairs of shoes are either white walking trainers, or leather boots that I've unfortunately grown out of. I'm terrified of buying new shoes as I have quite sensitive feet and only realise if shoes are comfy when it's too late to return them!! 😳
I also want to add one more: any clothes that don’t bring you any pleasure (clothes that relate to a bad memory). We should feel good about ourselves when wearing our clothes, if they can’t, then they should be removed from our wardrobe.
Hey Audrey, this probably seems like a silly request but when you put the time in to do the little chapters in the video bar it's super helpful for me since I'm recovering from covid and the brain fog has made it hard to focus and remember what I just heard and the chapters help me figure out how far I have to go back to catch up with the next topic you've moved onto. Idk if anyone else with cognitive issues going on uses them like me but I find them super helpful when you do use them!
So true of the basics. I fell into that trap and was so bored with my wardrobe. You can add some color and embellishments without your wardrobe getting out of control.
Yes!! Colors are awesome!
Me too! I remember many days looking at a completely functional "perfectly timeless" wardrobe and finding no joy in it. It all worked, I looked good...yet I did not feel like myself. Once I brought back the jewel tones that flatter me the most, and a few prints I'm gaga about, I started to love dressing up again.
Exactly…I remember buying a pink sweater during the pandemic and I couldn’t believe how much joy that brought me!
I don’t think I’ve ever commented how VERY MUCH I enjoy your channel. It’s always so good to see you, and it’s obvious you work very hard to deliver a brief but very informative segment. Several years ago I took a screenshot of the color palette you prefer, (my most worn pieces are in that color collection) and I use it when I shop for clothing. Again, a huge “THANK YOU” for the quality of your videos, and your hard work. HAPPY HEALTHY PROSPEROUS 2023! ❤
Thank you so much! This means so much to me ❤️❤️❤️❤️ sending you so much love!
The white shirt that wore with the white pants is so adorable! I'm obsessed with it.
I love the fact you mentioned the uncomfortable fabric issue. I'm allergic to wool so winter fashion tends to be "I would love that but I can't wear that" to me at times. Luckily, there are options nowadays and I can find cute and warm clothes. I just need to be careful with materials.
It's a shame better quality clothes nearly always have wool in them. I found a wool free jumper recently, which came with a warning label that pilling was a normal feature of the fibre it was made from. I suspect it won't wear and wash well.
Hi Audrey! I totally can relate to getting too much into building your perfect capsule wardrobe and missing out on the fun of dressing up 😅 This video has inspired me to look for the balance! P.S. your all-white look is absolutely gorgeous 😍
Thank you so so much! ❤❤❤
I would love an updated vid on how to buy jeans!! Specific body types etc. thanks😊❤
Can you plz make a video about what to wear when you are above 60 and what not to.Thank you for your videos very inspiring
I have sensitive skin, and I had to come to terms with the fact that wool and even cashmere just do not work for me. I wanted to like them for so long, because they're great, high-quality natural fibers that work well in winter. I had multiple of these sweaters and just...never...wore them. Now, I wear chunky cotton knits, which work for my style while still keeping me sufficiently warm. I've also gotten rid of all my heels, with the exception of a chunky heeled ankle boot, since flat shoes feel better and are healthier for my feet and ankles.
Thanks for your top tips. I love your voice too - I could definitely see you doing ASMR! 💙
I keep some worn-out clothes in my "rag pile" that I keep for heavy house cleaning, painting, and yard work.
I’ve always loved the feel of cashmere- on my hands, but they really itched! In the last 3 years they quit itching, and now I’m in heaven with some beautiful, comfy sweaters.
I’d also suggest getting rid of colours you feel just really blah in. I look terrible and sickly in light yellow and lemon hues as well as true coral, because they look awful with my light blonde hair and skin tone. However, I feel just fine wearing bright deep gold yellows, bright orange and peachy toned pinks. It doesn’t mean you can’t wear a particular colour at all, oftentimes one just has to find the right hue or shade. Great vlog Audrey.
That's so funny, I've just recently discovered I CAN wear lemon yellow! After years of thinking I couldn't wear any yellow near my face at all. And I really like it! It isn't my most flattering colour ever, but it looks good, feels like me and sparks joy and sometimes that's all that matters :) Have you looked into colour seasons at all? I wonder which season you'd fall into...
@@frangipanisandgirl I’m a warm winter, despite my fair complexion (I have dark brown almost black eyes). So jewel tones and a number of intense brights suit me best. I still wear pastels in summer in the right hues. I don’t have forbidden colours, just have to find the right intensity, as you did with lemon. It’s lovely when you find the right one. I’m lucky I can also wear black near my face. 😀
My favorite thing to do is re-dye faded cottons. I recently had a lovely cotton rubbed black turtleneck on its last legs, fading into a sun burnt black almost, and then redyed it black. I’m so happy with it, it’s totally revived the piece to its original color. The fabric has held up and looks crisp, just the color was fading. I’m glad clothing dye exists on the market TBH it’s really saved a lot of my clothes many times.
I wonder too about things you don't love. I have a few totally reasonable, classic pieces but I bought them more because I thought I should - after watching loads of "essential wardrobe pieces" videos, e.g., the world's most boring navy, v-neck pullover. There's absolutely nothing wrong with them, but they don't spark much joy and I'm seeing now that I could have held out for more pieces with a tad more interest. Oh well, I've definitely taken inspiration from Audrey's tips on scarves and jewellery to give my outfits a bit more oomph!
I love my version of “…the world’s most boring navy v-neck pullover”. 😂 So much so, I also have a navy cashmere crew and a navy wool/cashmere oversized crew. Viva la difference!
Thank you for saying it's ok to get rid of things.
Yes! I have a wardrobe full of classic basics and recently realise I don't have fun "me" pieces. My goal this year is to add in my personal items
Audrey I usually hate print t-shirts but you look absolutely GORGEOUS with that blue t-shirt!
This was helpful!
I need to do a try-on session with all of my shoes and get rid of
1. Uncomfortable shoes/ones that rub or cause blisters and
2. Ones that I can't wear anymore due to my bad knees (high heels, platforms that are too hard to walk in). I have some very cute heels but it's just too risky to wear them now, and it's a bitter reminder about my health issues when I see them sitting unused.
Hey! I would really like a garment care video! I think it's so important to take great care of the items you already own... I have watched your videos for about 4 years and I have really loved your content through the years! ❤👌👍👗👕👖
She did one a year or two ago.
How about elevated basics. The basics with a bit more contemporary twist. Need this in my closet, please.
I really appreciate your advice about not keeping clothes that you can’t take care of, cause i feel a lot of “influencers” are always recommending silk everything and for me and my hiperhidrosis (excessive sweating 😅) it’s really a stress to wear material that i can’t properly wash🤍
Hi Audrey! I think what’s coming out of all this is that we realize that our fashion and style is really more organic and we have to think a little less about it than overthink it. I think that’s what brings us to be the slave of too many rules… Although there are some aesthetic things that can look really good together, like in art, I think style is so subjective, and so personal… I’m also going to see where you purchased your belt, and that white button down silk blouse! Oh my goodness, gorgeous!
Thank you for the reminder about the basics. I was so caught up in building a capsule and became extremely bored with my wardrobe. You look stunning today. Your hair is so beautiful and the top you are wearing is extremely flattering on you.
The key for success is the balance between 6good foundation of basics and quick items to maximize your wardrobe!!
I adore the feminine style of Sezane jumpers but after purchasing several, I learned that my skin is sensitive to the polyamide that is in the fabric composition. Now I am very careful only to wear jumpers made of cashmere, cotton or merino wool.
Such a timely video, Audrey as January is the perfect time to rethink our wardrobes.
Have you tried to wear a thin t-shirt or camisole underneath?
@@mireille1594 If her skin doesn't like this fabric, even long-sleeved top underneath won't be enough, because there will a bit of the sweater at cuffs or neckline that still touch your skin.
Audrey, thank you for adding some methods of cleaning to this video. I appreciated it, as it helps us take better care of the items we already have. Would you please make additional videos with emphasis on how & when you clean your clothes & how you store them-- shoes & boots included. Thanks
Great idea!
I have decided to clean out my closet and do a wardrobe reset. It's been quite difficult when I think about the money "wasted" on clothing that just doesn't suit my personal style. Shopping on a whim has stopped. The focus is now on specific intent or purpose.
We all have " wasted " money on items ! So , perhaps re-sale or donate - both can help us feel better about our mistakes , turning them into positives .
@@cynthiajohnston424 yes! That's the plan. I am looking for a great local women's charity too. Helping others makes me happy. 💜
Yes.💯 agree. It so important to have only clothes that align with your personality! I donted and still donate clothes that I don't feel wearing anymore which is great as again by doing that we creating an optimal closet which dress up in the morning become easier and fun!

Hi Audrey, I love all the outfits you pulled together for this video! I especially love that white/cream outfit. Thanks for the inspiration! You have beautiful purses that are also functional. It would be great to see a video on how you style them ! 👠❤️🇨🇦
🥰❤️❤️
I came across your channel last year and since then it Changed my perspective of fashion and now I really enjoy getting ready like it enhances my personality . I'm lucky to find you ❤️
I think it's time to declutter again. I would like to see a video done again, on how to decide what to get rid of. My closets are packed and I have gone through them a few months ago, but I can clearly see it's time to do it again. I am trying to be more thoughtful on purchases. I definitely know that any sweater with mohair or angora is too itchy for me. Besides, I live in the desert and there is so little need for that type of garment. You are so good at what you do. Have a wonderful week!
Been following you for years and can definitely see the transformation in your style. I think finding and then dressing for your Kibe body type made a big difference. I wish you would spend more time talking about how this has influenced what you buy and how you style it. Just showing me a blouse or pants is a missed opportunity of showing me why behind the choice. This is not a criticism, just a desire to learn from you because I consider your transformation a success. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I actually don’t use kibbe to decide on clothes :) I can absolutely discuss my reasoning behind clothes and outfits more ❤️
Happy New Year Audrey! Thank you for these helpful tips!!
I love all your videos Audrey!
I always look forward to seeing whatever you post! ❤️💜❤️🙌🙌🥰⭐️🕊️
That look all off white was gourgeous on you! I agree with some tips and I miss some colors in yours looks. Too much black and jeans.
I love the soothing sound of your voice along with the wardrobe wisdom that you share. Would love to learn more about the colorful, non basic articles of clothing you've added back to make your wardrobe more exciting!
A lot of these tips are something that I'm trying to become more mindful of whenever I make a purchase for my wardrobe, and I'm a huge contender for not buying things that I can't take care of! Thank you for sharing these valuable insights, Audrey! ❤️❤️
Yes! This is growth, maturity, reflection! 💐💐💐
Thank you for mentioning uncomfortable fabric. Occasionally I still get tempted by a vintage polyester print or "pleather" shoes and regret it every time. These textiles are so awful against the skin and unfortunately getting harder to avoid.
Polyester print !!!!
I loved this video, the next time I reorganized my closet, I plan to use your suggestions and ideas to make some decisions! Thank you, I always enjoy your channel. The time just seems to fly by.😊❤
~I noticed in the frames of you wearing the Paris t-shirt that you look very pretty in that makeup.
~I think I feel more settled watching you speak when the French door behind you is shut all the way.
~I noticed first in the white pants, and then in the blue jeans when you’re speaking, that you left the belt loops unfilled. Somehow this didn’t sit right with me; I know that fashions come & go, but this old lady (I) now remembers my mother saying that if a garment has belt loops, it needs a belt. I disregarded that until now, when I see what she must have seen. I know, too, that one may be striving for the one long line, thinking, therefore, that a belt undermines that attempt. Nevertheless, the sight of empty loops now looks undone, to me. I thought perhaps a gold chain belt might work for the white outfit. And of course a black leather belt for the blue jeans w/black top.
Ah, well, just one of those style or fashion things, I suppose. After all, I used to wear holes in my jeans… not something I prefer now…
Your hair looks amazing!
Your hair looks amazing! Thank you for guiding me!!!
I have learned a lot from you about buying quality instead of quantity. I use more natural fibers now and know to take care of them so they last. Thank you.
Thanks for the content you share with us. I’m learning a lot with you. By the way you hair looks fabulous lately. Would you make a video about your current hair care routine? I’d love it!
Thank you! I always enjoy your content. Now I'm beginning to think about what really works for me and brings me joy rather than following wardrobe essentials advice. ✨️ 🌸
I like your tip about hand washing clothes. I find with my cashmere outer layer, I can get away with only having them cleaned once or twice a year. Plus my dry cleaner does a great job de-pilling the sweater. That always makes them look fresh. fresh.
One person's basic is another's dressy occasion wear. Not regretting buying something does not equal it being not fun and monotonous. You hit it on the head when you said "not something anyone anywhere could copy". That's the key. Hint, unscented baby shampoo is great for washing delicates. Just don't use too much.
Such wisdom with a delightful presentation!
You calm me and love hearing your voice!
Thank you!🌹
So nice to hear your unique personal advice. You're video was beautiful as well. I may just go through my closet today with these tips in mind.
Yes! I now have permission to get rid of clothes that are uncomfortable! Thank you!
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
Thanks you for this video! I would love to see an updated one of the deep winter wardrobe.
Thank you!
I 💯 agree that we need to be true to ourselves, listen and wear only clothes that make us feel good, confident and empowered! You know, when we look at your reflection in the mirror and you really appreciate it, you think to yourself oh yes, I'm looking amazing!!
Thanks so much Audrey for these sensible reminders! and Happy new year from a fan in Paris :)
If you find loving something in your closet after 20 or 30 years it is most likely because it was really well made but also unique, not because of was “basic”. I’m glad that more people are starting to realise this and searching for quality in design as well as manufacturing.
Too many basics: I have the opposite of this problem. Going to do a closet check with these great tips in mind. Thanks!
Love Audrey’s whole look in this video.
Audrey, your quality is great! Thank you. Pete
I appreciate your perspective so much!
Thank you. Great tips. Thank you.
Good advice. Especially the point about clothes that are painful, or at least uncomfortable, to wear. At a consignment store I found a fabulous pair of leopard print pumps, my size, from the high-end “red-soles” company. They were great - for about 10 minutes. I think I wore them twice before I realized why they’d been consigned. Definitely the most uncomfortable pair of shoes I have ever worn. I hope they work for the next gal who picks them up at the charity shop.
Love your tips!
Such good advice. Thank you ❤
Please do summer styling videos it is so hot and humid where I live and it is approaching by April😫, and I have been really enjoying buying autumn/winter clothes.
these videos help me sssoo much, id love to see a video on shoes!! or even for accessories like laptop bags and backpacks
Oh these are such good tips and have me thinking I need to go thru another closet culling! I sometimes find myself in a corporate setting and need to wear suits. I have a couple of blouses that I don’t really like but because of their color and utility, I have kept them. But I NEVER reach for them! It’s time they go in the giveaway bag and hopefully make someone else happy. Thanks for always having such well thought out ideas!
Love your authentic views on Fashion . I am a big fan of your channel. Lots of love from India 😊
Great video! Honest & refreshing!
I love high waisted pants and jeans. It's past time to reorganize my closet. Just need a little inspiration. Thanks 😊
Great video! So helpful thx😊
Hi Audrey, absolutely love your videos. Perhaps I’ve missed it, but if you have a video on how to hand wash or dry cleaning alternatives for clothing and the products you use would be so helpful!
Dear Audrey, I love your videos. As an idea for new ones, I would love to learn more from you about summer and vacation wardrobes and capsules. I live in a state where there is no winter ;) Thank you so much!
you're my calming fix for the day.
Audrey, I've been following your chanel for sometime and it's so refreshing how simple and honest it is! And yet its content is always so relevant and straight to the point! You're lovely and really one of a kind on TH-cam. Btw, as someone pointed out, your all-white outfit is gorgeous and so elegantly put!... Thank you so much for being an inspiration!...
Thank YOU so much for your kindness and for you watching my videos! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@AudreyCoyne your soothing voice and self-style truly informative videos what more could we want?! 💐 waiting for the next one!💐
White on white with jagged edge denim is fab. And is that a new little black bag? Love it!
A great video. Thank you lovely lady
I would love a video of the pieces in your wardrobe that are not basics! 😊
Thank you 🤗
What a wonderful idea!
That white shirt with the puffy sleeves is absolutely stunning 😍 where did you get it?
Thank you Audrey for another great video. I actually enjoy an afternoon of de cluttering my closet but I seem to have a problem of donating my accessories, wool/silk scarves, leather handbags. Help us learn when it is time to recycle these gems! Thank you ❤️❤️
I also don’t always want to let go of accessories, even those I rarely use but just like. For me, it has been more satisfying taking those items to a consignment store and, assuming they sell, at least getting something in return for them.
I've got to say...the only items I ever regret decluttering (or losing to humidity in our subtropical climate) are my cool leather belts, clutches and gloves. It's also getting harder to purchase quality silk and finely-spun or woven wool, too - my advice is to hold on to these items. They're gems, as you say - so technically don't count as "clutter" ;-)
I just wanted to add on to clothing care; If you are like me and hate hand washing sweaters, there are counter top options for washer machines that you can use for delicate garments like sweaters and silks. I haven’t personally used them as I’m low on funds, but I know that is a middle version between hand washing and delicate machine washing.
oooh please don't remove your old videos - they are wonderful to watch and to see and appreciate your journey.
Hey Audrey! I really enjoy your videos and I really like your style! I was wondering if you are considering doing another How my style changed video?
You look great in the white outfit love it!!!!! I think its great to add fun to your closet .
Thank You.
