Kay, the points you made in this video are expecially insightful. For instance celebrity iconic clothing. I spent my formativel years in the 60's, so it makes sense that my icons are Jackie Kennedy and actresses from that period. You hit the nail on the head with someone who takes 2 years to accept a style aesthetic. That explains definitely, where I shop. Thank you for this information!
Kay, I finally found the comment section. I’ve never used it before, but I wanted to tell you that YOU are the person I study and tried to imitate.
You have made such a huge difference in my life!
Patti
That is so kind. Thank you, Patti. 🥰
Thanks so much Kay for all this info. Can't wait to start exploring those stores you suggested. This was my favorite one yet! Oh yes....Jacueline Kennedy and Melania Trump are my favorite well dressed laides. Clean and simple lines always.
I love those, too. Thanks so much for sharing. 😊
I love your advice on finding more stylish high end options to « educate your eye ». If you can go to a better quality department store, it’s great to check out the better quality fabrics and finishing details.
Yes! I just walk around feeling things! 🥰 It really helps you to raise your standards just a bit and recognize quality when you see it elsewhere, which you absolutely can with a discerning eye. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. 😊
Fantastic video, Kay. So helpful. My style icons are Grace Kelly, Jackie O and Audrey Hepburn.
This is fantastic! Such useful advice. I am 72 and have never struggled with style until I hit 70 and especially in the summer. I love the examples and I think you used most of the ladies that I so admire their style. Can't wait to make a Pinterest board! Thank you Kay!
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching and sharing. 🥰
It's you Kay. I have learned so much from you and really appreciate all your work , thank you. Have a beautifully blessed day!
Ahh, that’s kind. Thank you for watching. 😊
This is a super educational video! Two thumbs up! My sis in law is my style icon in her dress, her home, her culinary skills! She has a classic sense of style and has perfected minimalism with quality pieces. I find that I spend much more than her on clothing, but she always looks the most put together, somehow! I do believe there is an art and eye for these aesthetics… you have done a small master class here on how to figure these things out. Thank you!
Melania Trump is my style icon. I liked your recommendation about window shopping higher end designers. I have way too many clothes that really don’t follow the recommendations you made for simple lines and colors. It’s true they look elegant. But maybe that’s just not my style. I may return that flowered peasant style shirt I just bought. Or not, and pair it with a denim midi and short boots. I flip between boho and Talbots classics!
Thank you for sharing. Generally tops are something we can work with to fit into our style, whereas pieces like pants and jacket are style setters. So maybe work with the shirt to see what you think. 😉
I like Diane Keaton in her movies although i don't have a defined waist that I want to emphasize I like her choice of color in neutrals a lot. I also wear glasses like she does and she makes wearing glasses look like a great accessory. Thanks for this video, I loved it!
Yes! 🙌🏻
This is an excellent video! Thank you for sharing this. I've really been thinking about the three words to describe my style and so far, I've come up with two: feminine and polished. Still thinking about the third one. I've gone back and read/re-read some of your blog posts about cultivating a wardrobe, and the posts are very helpful and a reminder to me. In this video, I especially like the fact that you point out some higher end brands and suggest looking for inspiration. It's a solid tip.
Good morning! Really enjoyed your video and learned a lot. I have recently retired and struggling to find my “non-work” style. This is a great start for me. Thank you
Lots of 'golden nuggets' in your video. I appreciate it.
Excellent content! Thank you for all you do ❤
Princess Diana for me! Kay, would you consider doing a color analysis video… spring,summer,fall,winter color palettes? Thanks!
Hmm. I can think on that. But I’m not sure I know enough. I’ll have to look into it. Thanks for the suggestion. They’re always welcome. 🤗
Wonderful advice Kay, thanks very much! In particular I resonated with the one where you said to peruse the more expensive brands and it gives you an idea what to look out for in the more budget friendly options - makes so much sense!
You are so welcome!🤗 I’m glad you enjoyed it. 😊
This was such a helpful video. Thank you.
I never have a problem dressing in the fall or winter or for dressier occasions in the spring or summer . It's summer casual I have a problem with. I do not care for longer tops or shorter than elbow sleeves. I have a good figure so I like modest but form fitting tops that end at the waist. They are so hard to find. Luckily some I've had for years are still in good shape but I'd like new clothes. Your channel has given me some good ideas. Thank you Kay. 😊
Sounds like you know what you like and you stick with it. Love that. I suggest you look for tips that are labeled “cropped.” Most of the time they are not the crop tops of our past; they’re actually more the length you’re looking for, especially if you wear a mid or high rise pant. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Great tips today. I cleaned my closet this Monday after your post and I feel ready to take on this new challenge. Thanks for always giving great advice to us women over 50. We still need to dress for our day! I don’t really have a style icon although I love the way Kate Middleton and Princess Di always dress/dressed
That’s a big job! ✅ Way to go!
Thank you for making this video! I’m 63 years old and I love to feel good in my clothes. I do have favorite stores which are Talbots and Chico’s but I really do see the importance of branching out into other brands and stores to stay in touch with the trends that would work for me! My favorite fashion icon is Kate Middleton and Audrey Hepburn.
I always watched what Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy were wearing.
Today I stay in touch with these icons and finish with a little flare or whimsy of my own nature.
Definitely iconic. Thanks so much for watching today. 😊
You nailed me as a Talbots' shopper! They make it so easy. I'm going to explore Theory and Vince now.
What a great slide show! Very informative. My style icons are now those women closer to my age: Meryl Streep and Helen Mirren.
what a great video, lots of wonderful, fresh information!
These are such fun ways to gauge what is stylish or not. I peruse high-end brands all the time, such as Ralph Lauren, to get inspired with ideas on how I can incorporate those looks using my wardrobe pieces. Some of my favorite stylish icons are Audrey Hepburn and Princess Diana. Thanks for this video. My next project is to go through my wardrobe and declutter so that I can create a more minimal one. I will take a look at your suggestions.
Wonderful. Yes, Ralph Lauren is another great brand to draw inspiration from. Thanks so much for watching and sharing. 🥰
I've determined my style is Coastal Grandmother in summer and French Chic in winter. I've curated my wardrobe along those lines. If a certain clothing item is having a moment, like a beige linen vest, I hunt for it. I found the perfect one for an affordable price at Old Navy. I find linen clothing at thrift stores, striped shirts on Amazon. I look expensive for less, saving my money for fun dinners and weekends and holidays with friends and lovers.
That all sounds just so smart and beautiful. Smart lady! Thank you so much for sharing. Inspiring. 😊
I have a similar attitude and way of shopping. I can find such treasurers for a lot less at thrift stores including Goodwill. Or, at retail stores I like , I wait for the sales/clearances. Classics always look good.
I love the idea of shifting your style for seasons!
What a good video! I am going to look at Theory, Vince and ME & EM for ideas. Thank you for all the effort that you had to do to share with us.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for letting me know. 💗
I admire Audrey Coyne from Audrey a la mode. Her style and philosophy about fashion resonate with me.
Ooh! Me, too. 💗
Fun and informative video! Thank you Kay!❤
You are so welcome!🤗
As usual, you have brought a new perspective to the way I view my wardrobe. I like classic, tailored clothes. I would say my style icons run to the Doris Day and Audrey Hepburn and Princess Catherine. However, I never feel as good as I want to when I try to emulate them. So I have given a great deal of thought to my style angles and my color choices and my proportions. With your help, figuring out that I am short waisted has solved so many of my fashion questions. Tops are too long, my shoulders are too slight, my idea of too much fabric is spot on and I have to trust that because I get swallowed up very easily by clothes. The art I'm most drawn to is usually very colorful and that along with your advice has gotten me to stop buying black. I now buy shades of blue and my wardrobe is getting more coordinated because of it. My style angles are active, effortless, and relaxed. That goes against what draws my eye. What draws my eye is the very tailored look with pumps and a cropped jacket. I am trying to find a style where I can bring some of those elements in, but I always want to be able to go for a walk without having to change my clothes! I chose active as a style angle because I don't want to look athletic or crunchy granola. I just want to be able to move and get outside when I have a chance.
I love this. I’m working through similar things myself. It’s a shift. Now when I shop I think about things a little differently. For instance I’m having some pants hemmed and instead of trying them on with heels for the tailor I’m taking along my platform sneakers, which is what I’m more likely to really wear them with. Thanks for sharing. 💗
Thanks for your great tips. I’ve always enjoyed style and my teen years went from Jackie Kennedy and Audrey Hepburn to Hippie boho. I still enjoy a relaxed, classic style.
Love that! 🥰
Great video. You asked who we admire for her style. For me, Jackie O and Princess Diana.
Love that! Thanks for sharing. 🥰
In 7th grade, my home ec teacher had us think about someone whose style we admired. I guess Paula Silverman was my icon. She basically wore button up shirts and a line skirts. Her shoes were always polished. She looked tidy everyday. What I admired was that her clothes were always clean, pressed and fit her perfectly. Pretty novel for a 7th grader in the early ‘60’s. I still always go for those three basic things, even when I am clearing land or shoveling rocks in my yard. (I don’t always end up looking clean and tidy after those chores! )I have added a love for color and texture and a classic/ boho style. I am going to look at Alice and Olivia and Cinq a Sept. Thank you for your good ideas! I swear I always feel better, maybe even younger, when I am tidy with my own spin of color a pair of boho earrings!
I love this. Thanks so much for sharing your memory from 7th grade. Precious. 🥰
Great video! I like what you said about rules - don't blindly follow but don't throw away. For me, I like to start my outfit without the rule and then if it doesn't look/feel good, I say to myself, ok is there a rule for this? It sounds funny but it works. I also like your advice about going into high end stores. Years back when I worked, I shopped more high end and I actually would find that most of what I bought in any given year/season, would actually come to the lower end stores a year and sometimes 2 years later! I couldn't believe that. Again great video and great advice. Reese Witherspoon has been a style icon for me mainly because she's also petite.
I love your take on using the “rules” to guide your style choices as needed. Sounds perfect to me. Thanks so much for sharing. 🥰
Such great ideas! I’m so excited to create a Pinterest board with these tips. I did some shopping at the Nordstrom sale so I’m in the process of redoing my closet to bring in some new pieces. It’s been a rough summer with some health issues, so this gives me something to look forward too and look forward to a more healthy year ahead. Thanks for always being a great inspiration.❤
Ahh, I do wish you better days ahead. Bless you. Thanks so much for watching and sharing. 🥰
This was very interesting and helpful, Kay. Thank you!
You are so welcome! 🤗
Great video Kay! My style Icons: Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn, my two daughters, Kay Harms😘
Hahaha! You’re kind. Thank you. ☺️
I love Michelle Obama, Kate Middleton, Helen Mirren, Reese Witherspoon and Meryl Streep. You had great tips for checking out higher-end retailers to broaden our style choices. I really like Talbot’s but I’ll check out Me+Em and Vince and the other ones you suggested. Thanks.
Thanks so much for sharing. I love those choices, too. Great style!
You have such thoughtful videos. At 65 I’ve learned style is different for everyone. Mostly, it’s a reflection of personality and what looks best. Often I see other people whose styles I admire, but in translation it doesn’t work for me. While boring I do find a style uniform works for me.
Absolutely. It’s smart to have some style uniforms up our sleeve! 😉
Superbly useful video😊
Thanks a lot 😊
This was fantastic! I never thought about having a style icon to observe in my style. I loved all the iconic photos of famous people from the past. I also don’t know all the stores and what they are good for-except Talbots. I wouldn’t mind hearing more on that. Thanks, Kay! I will watch this again.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching and leaving your comment. ❤️
I like this video and had never thought of having a style icon, interesting even at 85! I recently bought a wine and white striped cotton button down blouse to go wear with white pants. I could not think of a necklace that I had that would “elevate” the outfit until i remembered you talking about pearls in one of your videos and I had a pearl necklace the right length and color and wow I felt great! Also have bought 3 pairs of different nude color shoes which I like much better with white pants and jeans. My husband did wondered about 3 different shoes and I said different outfits! Thanks for all the hints in your videos. Carole❤️
Great tips Kay ❤
Thanks so much for watching. 😊
The comparison store suggestions is helpful. I’m not aware of the more high end stores.
I have style icons but unsure how to translate them into my everyday life.
I will check out your Pinterest board. Thank you so much!!
Hi Christine. Some viewers assumed I meant to copy the style of the icons. But really I think we develop an eye for good style as we are INSPIRED. So all four tips were meant to help us find inspiration, just rubbing shoulders, so to speak, with good style. I do think we can pause and study a fashion icon or a piece of art and simply ask, “what makes this so beautiful to me? Why is it appealing?” Hopefully that clarifies a little. I apologize for not being more clear about that.
Audrey Hepburn is definitely my style muse!
Love this video my inspiration is my mom ❤she teach me about fabrics…. After her next Carolina Herrera / ❤the princess Diana ❤
And of course you inspired me slot ❤ thx 🙏
Love it!! Yes, inspiration is what it’s all about. Thanks for sharing. 🥰
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
My style icon from the past is Jackie Onassis! My current icon is Elaine of @shepherdsfashions here in Canada . Thanks for the great tips!
Lovely! Thanks so much for sharing. 🥰
Kay, I watch you a lot and have a file folder of the things that you wear that I particularly like...one thing I would like to ask you is do you have a style formula you wear to casual church...I can't quite get this one together... preconceived about dressing up....but things have changed🙃
Ahh, that might make a good blog post idea. I do frequently wear a pair of great jeans, a simple sweater or tee and a jacket (usually a blazer). Depending on the season, I’ll wear pumps, flats, sandals or boots with that. Having some great blazers in my closet helps me feel pulled together and polished but still casual and comfortable. Another casual church formula I wear a lot is kind of the opposite of that: nice slacks, simple tee or shirt or lightweight sweater with a more casual jacket, usually a denim jacket for me. Then I usually wear either boots, nice sneakers or loafers. And yet another formula would be a simple but pretty dress with a denim jacket or utility jacket. Hope that helps.
@@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms love it, thank you!!! Headed to my closet to try a few things, lol💕
What is the white blouse you’re wearing today. I didn’t see any information about it. It’s very pretty.
I’m wearing a shirt jacket from ME+EM, but it’s sold out.
Sade -what a stye icon!❤
This was very informative. Thanks!
I’m so glad you found it helpful. Thanks for letting me know. 🥰
Style and Fashion are not the same!
Lots of helpful ideas!
Glad you think so! Thank you for watching. 🥰
Helpful info - thank you Kay.
You are so welcome!🤗
Thank you, for this great and informative video. 🥰👍❤️🌺✨✝️💫🌹
Thanks so much, Rachel. I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🥰
I loved this Kay. I'll be sharing in my email, XOOX Jodie
Thank you Jodie. 💗
A question for you. I don't think I saw anyone with sandals. Is that a No-No?
I loved the icon Audrey Hepburn She always looked classy. In modern times Kate Windsor or Reese Witherspoon. So classy!
I totally agree! Thanks so much for sharing and watching, Sherry. 💗
I am a classic, classy dresser who also loves a good pair of jeans and a button up shirt. But I find Talbots to be fuddy-duddy and older lady styles (which I will never be).
Hi Kay. What brand is the beige tank you are wearing? Can you tell me how it fits? I looked at some earlier in season but forgot to buy.
It’s a Michael Stars like this one rstyle.me/+5zCUB0tAWSGQWdA8CdY-OA
Fabulous post! Does Mrs. Maisel (on Prime) count as a style icon even though she's a character from the 50-60's? SHE has fabulous clothes. It's the same time period as Jackie O. Love the simple clean lines!! Thank you for the info and inspo!
Of course she does. Any style that inspires you. Thanks for sharing. 🥰
I’m 26 and I’m tired of the skimpy look. I want to please God with my wardrobe without the whole Muslim look, and I came across your channel! I’ve screenshotted a few of your outfits.
Thank you for watching. 😊
As I watched the video, I realized I absolutely do not have a style icon! I could not think of anyone to emulate and I never have. I choose quality fabrics, cashmere, cotton, and leather for example. I do not follow trends, I use them for inspiration.
And that’s the point: inspiration. No need to emulate anyone. But each of the things I mentioned can provide inspiration. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. 🥰
Thank you-my darling Mother cared little for fashion, why I grew up fascinated by the subject remains a mystery. Fashion magazines used to be fun sources of inspiration until they got into politics -subscriptions cancelled.
Yes, I used to love fashion magazines, too. I feel like we’ve lost that source of inspiration because, like you said, they’ve become polarizing and a little out of touch, too. Thanks for sharing.
Does style evolve or do we evolve, aka tastes change or desire to copy false idols? 😂
I believe the seasons of life and environment create organic changes! In addition: it seems contradictory to always be told that classic and good fabrics define good taste and class, while then push new trendy items monthly or by season. In my 75 years, I’ve seen it all and tried many, only to realize that what feels good (comfort) and bring joy are key to dress daily. 😂 I’m thrilled that I have not lowered my standards to flaunt my body to chase after pop stars or athletes. ❤
Thank you for watching. 🤗
Well said ! Money & fame do not create good taste ! Quality over quantity , knowing quality of fabric , craftsmanship & design , etc. all translate to a well curated wardrobe w/ " staying power " . An occasional trendy accent piece or accessory is a fun thing but better to buy an updated spin on a classic that you love . Also , dress for your lifestyle which for most of us will include several groups - work , casual , hobbies , sports & those important but infrequent special events . 🥰
I really wanted to be Boho but I seem to look better in a more classic style.
Ahh, well maybe you can add a boho touch or two, such as a fun sandal or whimsical scarf. Fashion gives us the freedom to experiment. Enjoy!😊
Oddly enough, I actually look to men for style inspiration, such as old school gangsters, community leaders, etc, & I would try to emulate a female version of their outfits.
A question, Kay.
Why not Melania Trump ? She’s always elegant and beautiful
@@lindastokes5648 umm. I saw Melina Trump twice Sorry
@@sonyadiamond4735 no that was Ivanka
Absolutely correct. Melania Trump has an impeccable style unsurpassed by any other First Lady in American history.
Melania Trump is always dressed perfectly.
