I'm almost 68 but love watching your videos. When I see you I always think ah, the beauty of youth. Dressing is a language and you communicate dignity and joy.
Funnily it is almost the opposite for me. I think she is veeery beautiful, but I always Think "maybe i'll dress that way when I am older and more settled". To me she signifies elegance, not youth.
@@bjulalula9537 I think you're both right and I get both vibes. I'm in my 60's as well but her style is elegant and timeless and mostly suitable for all ages. I also see the beauty of youth and it's lovely.
Although I am in reality the same age as you, inside I’m still Audrey’s age - or even younger! I do relate to her because I am the same height and virtually the same measurements, so really appreciate studying her outfits. I just wish I looked as good when I was younger!
This video is honestly just so sweet and positive! I was expecting another video judging people for not adhering to this trend or that rule, but this was the exact opposite. It’s so refreshing to see you encouraging others to not limit themselves and be free to express their own personalities in their clothing. This is the kind of uplifting content we need in this world
I appreciate your role as a style communicator. You invite us on your style journey with you and provide a safe space for the audience to consider what's best for them. It's a rare gift and it really shines through in this video.
Great video. Ive noticed how alot of styling gurus have taken personal expression out of style. In our quest to be chic, stylish, cool etc, its turned into a list of rules and one fits all type of thing. Style is supposed to be fun and an expression of who you are. Those are just my opinions. I like how your own personal style is evolving.
I am personally trying to improve my style for being a bit more feminine and elegant, but I feel so insecure of myself that I´m always craving for my confort zone, and wear all the time large black pants and sweaters which make me look bulky and cheap. It is annoying and boring, and paradoxically unhealthy mentally. So, I started with baby steps, with a cute handbag of color (instead of a black backpack), and the next step will be shoes maching the bag color, and even a scarf probably... Thanks @Audrey Coyne, your videos are helping. ;) Kisses from a French girl called also Audrey.
I have the same problem - I love so much more elegant style - skirt, dresses, blouses... but I don't like show my pale legs and I don't feel comfortable with even small heels... I feel like girl who tries mum's clothes :D
I used to wear oversized clothes in order to be unseen, blend in the crowd and not be harrased. I was not confident. Now that I'm older, I am much more confident and loving myself, so I wear feminine skirts, tops, dresses and don't give a damn what people think about me. Red has become my favorite color (I had never dared wearing when I was younger). I expose parts of my pale arms and legs (never too much) too. Someone had asked me "why don't you tan?"I didn't bother answering that I used to roast myself for years to a well done degree in the Mediterranean sun and luckily, I'm no longer that young fool I used to be. Therefore, the key to upgrading your style to a more feminine one is taking care of ourselves and our bodies, becoming confident, feeling feminine and not caring about other people's opinions (unless they have constructive criticism on some major flaw in us that has nothing to do with our style or outer appearance)@@olgamaderova1542
I followed your advice about lightening up the wardrobe and it made such a huge difference. It changed my mood instantly, especially in colder months! An unexpected change is that I no longer view darker colors as just practical and routine. They look so much better to me when I wear them after the whites and the beiges, it's like I forgot they are actually very pretty.
Audrey, I so appreciate how thoughtful and self reflective you are. I've never felt that you shared one-size-fits-all advice, but your reflection on that possibility says so much about you as a person. I've learned so much about authentic personal expression watching your channel. Thank you for what you're doing!
I swear you never fail to speak to my inner voice when it comes to style and fashion. Your kind and gentle urging toward simplicity and better choices is so utterly helpful. Thank you. 💖
I remember this one time I wore my combat boots with a black dress and felt so cool without having to wear heels which I don’t like. Even though I am a fashion lover and I generally dress well I stopped caring a bit and I’ve been wanting to revamp my style. One of my first things is getting a different pant style to play with a new shape at work. I’m slowly adding some new shapes to my wardrobe so this video is exactly what I needed for some inspiration!
Dresses with boots is a go to for me! I actually wear more dresses when it's cold than when it's warm because I love the vibe I can get with the right pair of boots.
Dresses with boots was the 90s and I never ever would’ve stopped except when nerve damage on my foot forced me to not be able to wear boots for over 10 years. When I could again, and perhaps this is influenced by my personal silhouette of skinny ankles in all, it was perfect all over again
Ugh, THANK YOU for the hair tip! I swear to god, *everyone* is wearing their hair in a middle part. I keep trying a middle part but it just does. not. look. good. And I thought there was something wrong with me but then I thought, why the heck am I trying to fit in with something that's not suited for me?! So silly!!
I used to limit myself to classic pieces in neutral colors and silhouettes, but now I'm gravitating to brighter and louder clothes that complement my personality as well as my style. You hit it straight on and I loved your advice!
Yes taking fashion risks is a great way to discover a new style that you love! My favorite way of doing this is shopping secondhand because then you are not spending a lot of money on it, just in case you end up not liking it 😅 that how I discovered that I like wide leg pants! 😊😊
@@AudreyCoyne Hi Audrey, I have the opportunity the opportunity to buy my first quality R.M Williams boots and I would like your opinion regarding the colour to buy. I am thinking burgundy since I love that colour but not I am not sure if it will be versatile such as brown or black. Could I please have your opinion? Regards, Rose
Right now. I feel like I am struggling a little bit with my style. I have flair for the bohemian and used to dress more expressively and fun. The past four years or so since I have advanced a bit in my career as a social worker I have been struggling to strike a balance between professional and bohemian and expressive. And I often feel like I fall short or that my outfit feels boring. I have been thinking about maybe finding new ways to wear my jewelry and scarves since I have a lot of both. Trying different proportions or layers and seeing what happens!
Thank you everyone for the wonderful inspiration as I piece together things for another Monday! Because of you, I am going to wear a bright scarf with shades of teal green and bright fuschia to chase away any remnants of the rain we had this weekend while not caring about the gray strands popping up here and there in my hair 😉
Love to see and listen to your style advice. I’m 67 and would love some advice for older women who want to dress chic and relevant without looking ridiculous or trying to “look too young”
Yes! I had some years when I only wore neutrals, maybe because I found them so easy to mix-and-match, and maybe because I wanted to "look the part" in my new corporate(ish) environment. But then I realized that being so devoid of "pop" colors was killing my joy. So, I slowly started adding small pieces in different shades of blue-red (a burgundy handbag, a mulberry silk blouse, a button up shirt in a with a very colorful, small-scale print...) and taking baby steps (black pencil skirt, white button up, red shoes and lipstick). All of a sudden, I fell in love with my wardrobe again. It's been an evolution, from adding just a touch of color to my "IBM blue" suits to the confidence I have today, when I'm dressed in shades of eggplant from head to toe, with gold stud earrings and a delicate gold necklace with a small charm. I feel amazing. The silhouettes are very conservative and timeless, but the color is more interesting than the all navy-gray-black-white ensembles I used to wear. I look in the mirror and say, "THIS is how I want to dress!"
Wow you are so elegant and thoughtful! These are such great tips. I’ve been trying to remember to take photos of what I wear in the morning as I try and develop my personal style, and create a digital album so I can see what has worked, what I didn’t like, what I’d try again, etc!
Love this! I've also been wearing my natural curls more often now. I rebonded and straightened it for years and now I find it freeing as well. So much time and money saved! Thanks for all the tips! :D
YOU are such an icon Audrey! You glow from the inside out and have helped me make the transition from a clearly confused late-20-something to undeniably classy woman. I cannot thank you enough! ♥️🤗
What a great video! So much wisdom here. I tried a pair of high waisted, wide leg pants today for an appointment, and it was so much fun. I found them on clearance before lockdown but had been too intimidated to wear them. So thank you for that encouragement. Also, from a curly haired girl here, everyday is an adventure with curly hair, depending on the humidity, product, amount of dirt and product.....alignment of the planets... 🤣✨It’s always a gamble and I feel like it informs my overall style continually (some days I really struggle with it), but this is the first time I’ve heard someone articulate that so perfectly. 🙏
No matter what this girl does or says it's like apples of gold in a silver carving. The hair being put up in a ponytail that's curly and bouncy combined with those hoops are phenomenal on you, just out of the ballpark. Of course it wouldn't go with every outfit but you must know how spectacularly you look with your hair up like that.
Thank you so much for sharing these styling tips in such a digestible and positive way! I'm trying to critique less and celebrate more, and I think this mindset on style applies to life in general. I'm so glad I found your channel 🥰
Wow! What great, positive advice given in an authentic, lady-like manner. I’m hooked on your positive coaching and find your communication skills refreshing. Thank you for bringing back an elegance to fashion.
I bought some Dr Martens, normal black, a loooong time ago (I’m 61) and never really wore them other than while on my motorcycle. But then I purchased a pair that are red with small multi-color hearts all over them, and I love them. I still wear those. Just takes the right pair!
@@filmchick6389 they really are fabulous, and I bought them second hand on eBay around 2006ish? They have light blue, green, red and orange hearts of various small sizes. With a sort of clear/ tan lug sole. They just go with so much, I was so lucky to find them. Second hand has been my friend!
I loved your video, " especially the one style fits all "expression, it is so liberated because not everyone has the same shape, and styles don't fit everyone's body.
I'm so happy you have also been freed from the one size fits all hairstyle. I did the same thing for a long time. I always straightened my wavy hair because that's what I was "supposed" to do in order to follow the beauty accepted standard. After having my 3rd baby and really really not having time to straighten my hair, I just allowed my hair to be it's natural wavey self. I have never looked back. I am so much happier and feel more me.
I’m way beyond the combat stage in in my life, but I love the look of a good looking loafer on people. So I have returned at least 4 pair because I feel I look so masculine and “all feet” in them. I’m petite and they are just not me. Now I’ve found another pair that is not nearly as heavy but still very smart looking and.can’t wait for them to arrive. We’ll see , but it’s what you are talking about. There are many different styles of a fashion piece so don’t give up.
I like your new style: it’s more vibrant! I think your trip in Paris changed your view. In the USA normally your style is more conservative than in Europe. I really enjoy your videos!
I can tell how you have implementing your own new styles with your hair and adding colors have created an amazing , free and beautify style. I was watching older videos and compared them to your newer ones and love the progression.
You truly have the most french essence I've ever seen from someone who is not french. Also, your body and proportions are so beautiful, it really reminds me of Sarah Jessica Parker, which is why everything looks so good on you! Lovely video, as always.
Yes, to being more creative in what we all wear. I realised that the pieces I've worn and had for years are not necessarily really basic classics, but usually have some kind of twist to them.
I agree with realizing that “basics” need to be customized and personalized to you. I had looked into Elyssa’s channel when you introduced us to some body typing experts you consulted with. I remember a light bulb came on for me when I saw her video about what the “basic white tee” might look like for the various Kibbe types, which explained why I never liked wearing the traditional boxy crew neck white tee everyone on TH-cam/IG seems to live by. I’ve since learned to tweak and modify the “rules” so that it fits me. Thanks for another great and informative video!
as much as i do think that if a generic style tip doesn't work for you, you should be able to throw it out - i don't like jeans and have finally stopped trying to wear them and it's been a huge mood boost - i love this tip about trying to figure out *why* a basic piece doesn't work for you. i thought for ages that button-up shirts looked hideous on me, but i think that what i wasn't enjoying was that they tend to be very loose and that the pointed collars don't look good on me. finding a button-up shirt in a heavier material with a more streamlined design and a rounded collar i was absolutely shocked that i think it suits me perfectly, and being willing to take a chance is the only reason i learned that.
I so agree with your take on the one size fits all approach. I'm a pear shape but because of my leg/torso proportions I can pull off a pencil skirt which is typically a no-no for women like me. I get compliments like, "Have you lost weight?"
I don't know but somehow I like every outfit you wear and be able to relate to almost all the things you say about personal style. I searched up many channels but till date I could only relate to you. I appreciate your efforts and please keep making new videos:)
I agree with you: we have to customize all the style advices to our own style! I realized I didn't like to wear white! so no white button up or white tee shirt (or pencil skirt)on my list of basic "must have". I just had to figure out what my own basics would be as the concept is still valid but with different components!!! I also add a small pop of color here and there but not in major items as I get bored more easily with colors outside of my usual palette. I still have to investigate some different shapes to wear so while staying in the same colour palette I will be less "bored" while owning fewer clothes...
What an empowering message! Your approach is so kind and authentic as you address the kinds of inner stumbling blocks to finding freedom in expression and individual personal style, and I appreciate so much that you share your own personal examples of each “mistake,” while being kind even to yourself. Thank you, thank you, for the content that you post. It is always helpful, inspiring, and refreshing. Grateful for your presence!
You're so genuine and passionate. Love your channel! Question - How do you keep your clothes lint/pill free? Can you please share how you launder, store and in general care for each type of fabric/material?
I love your style and the white off the shoulder sweater with the light pink maxi skirt is 😍😍. Where I live your style which is similar to mine comes off as too formal. Even at work executives wear jeans. Could you do a video with spring/summer outfits with this in mind? Especially in the office where the AC is blasted, I find it very hard to be casual enough and comfortable in summer.
So helpful!! I love your videos. Style videos that insist on arbitrary rules are so useless but yours are rooted in exploring your own authentic self expression. Thank you!!!
I really loved and appreciated this video. Thanks Audrey for your sincere and thoughtful sharing - it is all about the INDIVIDUAL and I love that you gave advice for part of the journey to liberation so necessary for each person to be their unique self/personality!! This was so refreshing to receive as everything now seems so shallow and "repeated".
I like wearing trousers and jeans, but I'd like to wear more dresses. Do you have a video on the more feminine vibe of wearing dresses/skirts and styling them in different ways? I'll look forward to the pencil skirt video. I have one that I rarely wear because I feel it gives off a "boss lady" vibe or "business vibe" and I am not either of those. Thanks for this excellent video, Audrey! Personal style reflection in style is key, I think.
Audrey, this is was a most excellent video. Thank you for being so real and warm and encouraging. The emphasis on not fearing, but rather embracing colour variation and different silhouettes has been such a good and important one for me. Thank you :)
I have been watching your channel for some time. I have watched you evolve, taking more risks and I think that’s great! I too have ALWAYS played it safe. Then some years ago I started getting away from the same cookie cutter mold. Bottom line.. its a certain confidence that comes with age. So to all I say don’t waste time playing it safe. If you feel good chances are you look good! 🌸
Color is what I use to freshen and update my basic wardrobe every year. Such as a scarf or sweater or a blouse. Or even a pair of shoes. I find this to be an inexpensive way to remain modern yet keep my beloved classical wardrobe:gashion.
I thought I could never wear the white 👟 trend ... and then randomly found the perfect pair for ME... I am still so excited to have found a new option I never thought I could wear !
I look forward to the restyling pencil skirt video. Mine are hanging forlornly in the closet after over a year of not being allowed in my office on a regular basis. I love them and want to find a way to wear them in my new life. Thanks!
Such helpful tips! I've been experimenting quite a bit myself! It's hard, but also feels great when I find some combination I love and keep wearing again and again!
Not only for the style, I love you for your voice as well ❤️. It's so flowy and comfortable to listen to. You could start a fashion podcast too. Cheers! ✨
Your hair looks lovely the way you wear it now. I would love to have curly or wavy hair and I am always envious of those that have it, as well as being puzzled by them straightening it when it looks so beautiful full of body and curl.
Thanks so much for your videos! Whenever I feel stressed out of my mind, I come over here and listen to you talk about things I love in that soothing voice of yours
A bit of an unusual request but could you maybe do a video on how to look stylish whilst working as a gardener, painter or doing other manual work 😅 I work sometimes as a gardener and find myself dressing very unflatteringly as a result because I have to be practical and not get too warm or cold. Then on my way home I go to the supermarket looking pretty scruffy and frumpy and I feel bad. I love style and it always makes me feel so much better dressing well but since I've started gardening and making things I no longer feel good in what I wear, as I've not found a stylish way to still be practical enough. I've spent most of the winter in black waterproof trousers , an old puffa jacket and big jumpers.
Love your channel. I purchased a little jacket you styled in one of your videos, and want to thank you. I'm putting together my basic capsule wardrobe, and it's perfect (it's the & Other Stories boxy military jacket). It's a teensy bit big on me, but it is in my "get tailored" stack.
Another beautiful video. I mentioned on your Insta about wearing my teen’s docs now and it has been so fun to style. I could never imagine in my 20/30’s That I would Wear Docs again in my 40’s
I was wanting to know have the body imaging style analysis that you had done with the 4 different consults, altered the way you approach your own style? Have you taken on board their recommendations? And was it helpful to you?
Yesssss to all of this, but especially that part about color! I'm exploring color palettes at the moment and can't wait to balance out the amount of black clothing in my wardrobe with something a little more vibrant.
I sort of got forced to get used to a different silhouette because my favourite style of jeans went out of style and stores were not carrying them anymore
Sometimes I buy shoes that are so out of my comfort zone that it takes me a year or two to actually wear them. But then I feel really good in these shoes. This also could apply to other items of clothes. I do like the idea of being open to new clothing items. I really should do more test drives sooner.
She could make a video about various types of germs and bacteria and I would still watch it because her voice so soothing.
Came to the comments section to say that. You took the words out of my mouth!

Definitely tired of neutrals and basics in my own wardrobe. Looking to break the monotony and be my own style icon.

@@filmchick6389 they really are fabulous, and I bought them second hand on eBay around 2006ish? They have light blue, green, red and orange hearts of various small sizes. With a sort of clear/ tan lug sole. They just go with so much, I was so lucky to find them. Second hand has been my friend!
I loved your video, " especially the one style fits all "expression, it is so liberated because not everyone has the same shape, and styles don't fit everyone's body.
I'm so happy you have also been freed from the one size fits all hairstyle. I did the same thing for a long time. I always straightened my wavy hair because that's what I was "supposed" to do in order to follow the beauty accepted standard. After having my 3rd baby and really really not having time to straighten my hair, I just allowed my hair to be it's natural wavey self. I have never looked back. I am so much happier and feel more me.
I’m way beyond the combat stage in in my life, but I love the look of a good looking loafer on people. So I have returned at least 4 pair because I feel I look so masculine and “all feet” in them. I’m petite and they are just not me. Now I’ve found another pair that is not nearly as heavy but still very smart looking and.can’t wait for them to arrive. We’ll see , but it’s what you are talking about. There are many different styles of a fashion piece so don’t give up.
I like your new style: it’s more vibrant! I think your trip in Paris changed your view. In the USA normally your style is more conservative than in Europe. I really enjoy your videos!

I can tell how you have implementing your own new styles with your hair and adding colors have created an amazing , free and beautify style. I was watching older videos and compared them to your newer ones and love the progression.
Audrey's sincere, inclusive and projects harmony. I like her views and ideas expressed in a simple down to earth vocabulary. 🌸🤗
You truly have the most french essence I've ever seen from someone who is not french. Also, your body and proportions are so beautiful, it really reminds me of Sarah Jessica Parker, which is why everything looks so good on you! Lovely video, as always.
Your style advice, Audrey, is one of the greatest. I've learned so much watching you xx
Yes, to being more creative in what we all wear. I realised that the pieces I've worn and had for years are not necessarily really basic classics, but usually have some kind of twist to them.
I agree with realizing that “basics” need to be customized and personalized to you. I had looked into Elyssa’s channel when you introduced us to some body typing experts you consulted with. I remember a light bulb came on for me when I saw her video about what the “basic white tee” might look like for the various Kibbe types, which explained why I never liked wearing the traditional boxy crew neck white tee everyone on TH-cam/IG seems to live by. I’ve since learned to tweak and modify the “rules” so that it fits me. Thanks for another great and informative video!
as much as i do think that if a generic style tip doesn't work for you, you should be able to throw it out - i don't like jeans and have finally stopped trying to wear them and it's been a huge mood boost - i love this tip about trying to figure out *why* a basic piece doesn't work for you. i thought for ages that button-up shirts looked hideous on me, but i think that what i wasn't enjoying was that they tend to be very loose and that the pointed collars don't look good on me. finding a button-up shirt in a heavier material with a more streamlined design and a rounded collar i was absolutely shocked that i think it suits me perfectly, and being willing to take a chance is the only reason i learned that.
Your voice is so soothing. I love watching your channel you give such great style advice.🥰
So happy to see a video from you! Such a perfect little break to decompress a bit during my stressful day🥰
I so agree with your take on the one size fits all approach. I'm a pear shape but because of my leg/torso proportions I can pull off a pencil skirt which is typically a no-no for women like me. I get compliments like, "Have you lost weight?"
Her voice is the main reason that I subscribed for this channel. 😍😍😍
I don't know but somehow I like every outfit you wear and be able to relate to almost all the things you say about personal style. I searched up many channels but till date I could only relate to you. I appreciate your efforts and please keep making new videos:)
Oh my gosh, you are a super authentic, natural, adorable Inspiration!!
Only Audrey could make chunky boots look so classy 🥰 Thank you for your videos!
I agree with you: we have to customize all the style advices to our own style! I realized I didn't like to wear white! so no white button up or white tee shirt (or pencil skirt)on my list of basic "must have". I just had to figure out what my own basics would be as the concept is still valid but with different components!!! I also add a small pop of color here and there but not in major items as I get bored more easily with colors outside of my usual palette. I still have to investigate some different shapes to wear so while staying in the same colour palette I will be less "bored" while owning fewer clothes...
What an empowering message! Your approach is so kind and authentic as you address the kinds of inner stumbling blocks to finding freedom in expression and individual personal style, and I appreciate so much that you share your own personal examples of each “mistake,” while being kind even to yourself. Thank you, thank you, for the content that you post. It is always helpful, inspiring, and refreshing. Grateful for your presence!
I think Aritzia should use you to model their sweater!
The outdoor footage is so beautiful, you really go above and beyond for your videos. Love it 💛
You're so genuine and passionate. Love your channel!
Question - How do you keep your clothes lint/pill free? Can you please share how you launder, store and in general care for each type of fabric/material?
She has a video for that.
I love your style and the white off the shoulder sweater with the light pink maxi skirt is 😍😍. Where I live your style which is similar to mine comes off as too formal. Even at work executives wear jeans. Could you do a video with spring/summer outfits with this in mind? Especially in the office where the AC is blasted, I find it very hard to be casual enough and comfortable in summer.
So helpful!! I love your videos. Style videos that insist on arbitrary rules are so useless but yours are rooted in exploring your own authentic self expression. Thank you!!!
I loveeee my old photos so much.
I really dont understand why people feel so ashamed... Its my own little story
I love pairing my black pencil skirt with casual tees and a cozy sweater or denim jacket. I love how you styled yours here!
I really loved and appreciated this video. Thanks Audrey for your sincere and thoughtful sharing - it is all about the INDIVIDUAL and I love that you gave advice for part of the journey to liberation so necessary for each person to be their unique self/personality!! This was so refreshing to receive as everything now seems so shallow and "repeated".
I like wearing trousers and jeans, but I'd like to wear more dresses. Do you have a video on the more feminine vibe of wearing dresses/skirts and styling them in different ways? I'll look forward to the pencil skirt video. I have one that I rarely wear because I feel it gives off a "boss lady" vibe or "business vibe" and I am not either of those. Thanks for this excellent video, Audrey! Personal style reflection in style is key, I think.
Audrey, this is was a most excellent video. Thank you for being so real and warm and encouraging. The emphasis on not fearing, but rather embracing colour variation and different silhouettes has been such a good and important one for me. Thank you :)
I have been watching your channel for some time. I have watched you evolve, taking more risks and I think that’s great! I too have ALWAYS played it safe. Then some years ago I started getting away from the same cookie cutter mold. Bottom line.. its a certain confidence that comes with age. So to all I say don’t waste time playing it safe. If you feel good chances are you look good! 🌸
Color is what I use to freshen and update my basic wardrobe every year. Such as a scarf or sweater or a blouse. Or even a pair of shoes. I find this to be an inexpensive way to remain modern yet keep my beloved classical wardrobe:gashion.
Hi! Do you also work with "season colours" in the way that everyone has a colour palet that works best for them.
I thought I could never wear the white 👟 trend ... and then randomly found the perfect pair for ME... I am still so excited to have found a new option I never thought I could wear !
I look forward to the restyling pencil skirt video. Mine are hanging forlornly in the closet after over a year of not being allowed in my office on a regular basis. I love them and want to find a way to wear them in my new life. Thanks!
Such helpful tips! I've been experimenting quite a bit myself! It's hard, but also feels great when I find some combination I love and keep wearing again and again!
Wonderful video, as always. Also, I realized halfway through that I get Rosamund Pike-like vibes from you
I love that white top with the blue flowers you were wearing... looks so french!
Not only for the style, I love you for your voice as well ❤️. It's so flowy and comfortable to listen to. You could start a fashion podcast too. Cheers! ✨
I love your white turtleneck sweater!! 🤩
Thank you so much!
Great advice when looking at old photos! ❤️ all great advice! Thanks for sharing
Your hair looks lovely the way you wear it now. I would love to have curly or wavy hair and I am always envious of those that have it, as well as being puzzled by them straightening it when it looks so beautiful full of body and curl.
Thank you for sharing this. I can totally relate to what you were saying. I have been stuck in the same old style for the longest time
I would love an update of your handbag collection and what shoes you pair them with💜
Such sophisticated advice. Thank You and greetings from Germany. 🌼
I have noticed you have become more edgier, which is lovely to see you really are broadening your fashion look, very refreshing 🇬🇧👏🏻👏🏻❤️xx
Thanks so much for your videos! Whenever I feel stressed out of my mind, I come over here and listen to you talk about things I love in that soothing voice of yours
The black outfit with the little green bag....amazing
A bit of an unusual request but could you maybe do a video on how to look stylish whilst working as a gardener, painter or doing other manual work 😅 I work sometimes as a gardener and find myself dressing very unflatteringly as a result because I have to be practical and not get too warm or cold. Then on my way home I go to the supermarket looking pretty scruffy and frumpy and I feel bad. I love style and it always makes me feel so much better dressing well but since I've started gardening and making things I no longer feel good in what I wear, as I've not found a stylish way to still be practical enough. I've spent most of the winter in black waterproof trousers , an old puffa jacket and big jumpers.
Beautiful wardrobe and video! Very classy and well presented.
Aubrey, could you please make a video on how to keep your shoes and sandler's clean and odor free during the summer months ?
A much needed video Audrey, thank you for sharing. Love your natural hair. Remain blessed xxx
I think all of her videos are so inspiring and thoughtful!
Great tips Audrey! Could you please share your outfit details? I loved the soft color sweater and skirt! You look amazing in lighter colors!
Love your channel. I purchased a little jacket you styled in one of your videos, and want to thank you. I'm putting together my basic capsule wardrobe, and it's perfect (it's the & Other Stories boxy military jacket). It's a teensy bit big on me, but it is in my "get tailored" stack.
Her voice is so comforting-
Reminds me of "Guidance / school Counselor"
Another beautiful video. I mentioned on your Insta about wearing my teen’s docs now and it has been so fun to style. I could never imagine in my 20/30’s That I would Wear Docs again in my 40’s
Thanks, Audrey!
The combat/modern boots that I have been eying just got ordered!
Audrey you should do videos with just audio, your voice its so calming, maybe positivity and self love audios 😊 love your channel ❤️
I was wanting to know have the body imaging style analysis that you had done with the 4 different consults, altered the way you approach your own style? Have you taken on board their recommendations? And was it helpful to you?
Your hair + these earrings look SO beautiful on you Audrey! That combination really suits you, it looks really fun and sweet but also so chic!
you look very good in light colors
Such great ideas! I was nodding my head the whole time😊 AND I’d love to see a tour of your beautiful home!
Yesssss to all of this, but especially that part about color! I'm exploring color palettes at the moment and can't wait to balance out the amount of black clothing in my wardrobe with something a little more vibrant.
So excited to see how you grow your color palette 🤗❤️
YOU ARE AMAZING!!! The Perfect combo fashion, and ASMR videos. Thank you Audrey for the inspiration.
Audrey--you seem so kind. Thank you for doing these videos
I sort of got forced to get used to a different silhouette because my favourite style of jeans went out of style and stores were not carrying them anymore
Thank you so much for sharing your journey! I really like your style and enjoy learning from you.
Sometimes I buy shoes that are so out of my comfort zone that it takes me a year or two to actually wear them. But then I feel really good in these shoes. This also could apply to other items of clothes. I do like the idea of being open to new clothing items. I really should do more test drives sooner.
