- No one taught me the 9 things I share in today's video. It took me YEARS of trial and error, and of making mistakes before I learned these tips that FINALLY changed my style and helped me create a wardrobe I love.
I made this video so you don't have to struggle with your style like I did.

Erica

I love the muted print you're wearing, very elegant and not too big
Thank you!
Long before I knew about stylist I bought basic neutral clothing. I couldn't afford much so keeping it simple enabled me to mix and match. I guess it could be called my personal style because iam comfortable dressing this way. Love your channel and great advice.
Thank you Pat! You knew it intuitively 😊
Come on 10k !! Cheering for you 😊
Thank you so much ❤
Thank you for this informative video. I have a few crisp, white shirts - never wear them. They just don't feel right. The same goes for trench coats. Silky white blouses feel better. And I have a collection of jackets that also make me feel more feminine. Copying someone else's style doesn't always work.
Thanks for your comment Jeanette! ❤
The biggest struggle for me now is that I actually do know what I want in terms of my style but because I do know what I want quite specifically in terms of color, fabric, silhouette etc. the problem is now finding it….so many brands are not my style and the ones that are my style, do not carry the items in my size or are insanely expensive or they only put out limited releases and if I get the wrong size then that’s it, no exchanging for a different size. Also, I am petite and it is nearly impossible to find clothes in my style that fit…v necks way too low, shoulders way too wide, waists way too low, sleeves too long etc. Also a common issue is the better, high quality items are so extremely expensive now. I’m fine ‘investing’ in good quality items, however, as with most things that are produced now…the options are very cheap fast fashion or crazy, extremely expensive items/ brands. The best example is knitwear. Most is cheap, synthetic polyester, nylon etc. and even in fast fashion brands they will still be charging $100+ for synthetic knitwear. But if I actually want a more natural fibre knitwear, then the cost is $200 absolute minimum or $350+. Thrifting is now even ridiculously expensive. It’s one extreme or another. These are my ‘fashion/ style’ challenges now.
Thank you for sharing your struggle Sarah. A LOT of women feel the same way. It's challenging to buy clothes off the rack that fit us as is for most of us, so including the cost of a good tailor into items can also get price-y.
A couple thoughts I have for you: have you tried European brands for sizing? I find they run smaller.
If you are a Nordstrom club member (it's free) you can get free alterations on items you purchase there and I believe also at Nordstrom Rack as well. Tailoring is so important to making an item fit.
Clothing prices have in general gone up while quality has gone down. However, I believe you can find amazing deals and great quality when you shop Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, and Nordstrom Rack online during one of their sales (which is every other month). I hope this was helpful!
I love and use your 7 second rule shared on a previous video. You have applicable and practical advice.
Thanks Karole! I'm glad that 7-second rule is helpful 😊
This is very helpful! Thank you.
I'm glad this was helpful!
Good advice but hard to follow sometimes, as I'm sure you know - we crave novelty and the "new shiny," for example. So true about the button-up white shirt - my version turned out to be a black button-up shirt - easier to keep clean 😄 and just worked better for me. A chambray button-up also works better with how I actually live as well! Thanks for your videos!!!
Thanks Mary! I think it's ok to bring new things into your wardrobe. As long as we do it with awareness and intention, I think it can be a great way to express ourselves. 😊
I absolutely love your videos.
Thanks so much Michelle ❤
I needed to hear this. Thank you
You're welcome Ira ❤
I've come to terms with your advice on hanging or having your clothes *visible*. I had a great hidden wardrobe that was never unpacked when I moved. It was shoved to the back of the closet for expediency. While I was browsing online, I literally had not shopped in years, I was thinking "I think I wore something like that. I wonder where it went?" Also I had to overcome the too nice to wear. I don't wanna get it dirty syndrome. The result was an inordinate amount of back T-shirts.
It makes it so much easier to get dressed and feel good when you can see what you have! I used to fall into the "I don't want to wear my nice things" too like many of us. But when we choose to step into and show up for our lives today, there is no better time to wear your nice things ❤
Do you have examples of criteria you can share?
Thanks for your question! Criteria would be any word you'd use to describe a piece. For example, it could be the color, style, silhouette, fabric, the feel (is it comfortable or casual?), is it a solid or a pattern. There are no wrong answers!
