Everything is beautiful! As I have entered my 50’s, I have begun leveling up my wardrobe. I noticed how you have higher end pieces when you only have a 10 item wardrobe. It makes perfect sense to spend more for good quality and less quantity. Also, I purchased the Blumene with your discount and it really works! Thanks!😊
Thank you for doing these comprehensive 10 item wardrobe videos again. As I’m in Australia my seasons are always the opposite of yours so my process is to watch all your old videos for my season to get excited and inspired to put together my new and returning wardrobe for that season. This video will get watched again by me in six months time ready for summer.
I’m slowly getting my ten item wardrobe. First week at work I wore skirts all week Second week I wore all pants but in a different shade of color Third week (this week) I’m wearing all dresses. But it’s been fun it’s Soto look forward to every day. Makes me feel pretty and happy in my clothes. Enjoy dressing up everyone 🌸🌷🌸
Your wardrobe is so chic and elegant. I don’t know how you do it with four children and housework as well as cooking but I always enjoy the beauty of your outfits. Having only a few items is so easy and satisfying. The brands you have been buying lately seem to be a good fit for your aesthetic. ❤
My opinion is that the wool skirt is pretty, but is more for autumn and winter. Years ago, a male friend of mine actually taught me a lot about fashion (he made a lot of money and shopped at high-end stores, such as Barney's and Louis of Boston, where they served us champagne while we browsed!). He was careful not to be “a man for all seasons,” meaning wearing the wrong fabrics for the season, or a combination of them, such as lightweight summer pants with a heavy wool winter jacket. Until he taught me that, I had been mixing and matching whatever I wanted.
What an interesting opinion! Here in Norway, we see wool as an all year fabric. And the summer is hot and bright(no night). Wool helps regulate body temperature and wick away moisture, so we see it as perfect for summer and also… for working out! T-shirts in thin merino are such a staple on my summer excursions😊
Wow Jennifer! These dresses are GORGEOUS! They’re so feminine, yet so wearable, so youthful yet age appropriate! You really nailed this seasons capsule 💕
This is comment I left on your ''This Wardrobe System Guarantees Elegance'' video a month ago: ''I don't think I've ever felt so inspired by any fashion video or article. I don't even know if I agree or not. But you've made me think and FEEL (!) something about clothes for the first time in a very long while.'' I feel the same way, if not more, now. So inspiring. I'm getting a couple of the pieces; the skirt, definitely. Two questions, where is your snow leopard dressing gown from? It's beautiful! And if you you don't mind, for reference, what is your size and height? If you don't want to, don't feel pressured. I'm small and I have trouble finding clothes that fit well.
Dear Jenn, your black tailored shorts remind me of the classy 1940s style that my mom used to wear. It's a classic that doesn't go out of style and they look fab on your.
You have inspired me to teach a class to a group of girls from church about carefully building a wardrobe. These concepts would have been so helpful to me if they had been instilled at a young age! The idea of using 3 adjectives is fun. My summer words are Flowy, Crisp-cool, Intriguing. As a couple of other people have commented, I’m gravitating towards natural fibers. I was pleased to find that J. Crew Factory has all-cotton midi dresses in pretty fabrics.
That is such a great idea! I am having a really hard time helping my daughter, age 12, curate a fashionable but modest wardrobe. We are finally making some progress. It’s a tough age. I agree with your JCrew factory source! Nordstrom and Dillards have some good options for the tween age; more off-the-beaten-path options that I have discovered are Busy Bee Kids, Bella Bliss, Maisonette, Hayden Girls, Bisby, and Mini Boden. Vineyard Vines and Polo have nice sales, too. Jennifer’s wardrobe principles have been so helpful in this process. I hope those suggestions are helpful, and if you have further recommendations, feel free to share ☺
I'll also mention that Old Navy has shorts like this and several others that are longer and high waist. They even have some with an adjustable waist!! I've ordered 4 pairs of their shorts recently and love them all! My favorites have been a tailored pleat look and the paperbag waist. They also have a linen short, long jean shorts, and a few others that are longer and have a larger leg opening.
Beautiful, I was wondering if you have undergarment recommendations for some of the summer dresses? I feel like my bra shows when I wear sundresses and also what slips do you wear for white dresses
Congratulations, Jennifer, beautiful dresses for the whole season. I love and find inspirational the way you plan your wardrobe, with consciousness and beauty.
In case anyone is shorter, I’m about 5’2”, I ordered the green Rungolee dress like this pink one from your link awhile back it is a maxi on me. Their knee length dresses may look better on petites.
I wear clothes like this when I go to church or work or somewhere but everytime I get home Im ready to get back into comfy clothes. I wish this weren't the case!! Any tips on how to keep the nice clothes on from morning til night?
I think it’s perfectly ok to wear your beautiful clothes out and about and change when you get home. I have a few “uniforms” for when I’m home all day or get home from church for example. They are not old sweats! They are nice casual and comfortable clothing that I don’t feel restricted wearing. I love watching Jennifer’s old videos when her style and lifestyle were more like mine. She’s evolved and is in another level. I feel her life is quite formal, very prim and proper, Victorian I suppose! That is not me. You can be classy without the pretence if you like. Have you watched “Diane in Denmark”? She has a lovely, classy style that is more relaxed.
Nice clothes can also be comfortable. A cute dress, shift style or elastic waist, is just like pulling on a tee shirt, plus no buttons or zippers to mess with. If you are cooking, use one of the pretty aprons that are out there on the market to prevent splatters from getting on it (I am looking at you, April Cornell!)
I also have church dresses that I change out of when I get home. The dressier items can be considered “extras” which is helpful to consider. They tend to not be the natural fabrics I prefer to wear around the house anyway and I have a neutral pair of heels I like to wear on Sundays which I definitely won’t be wearing around the house. :)
@@amberupton7421I enjoy diane a lot too! And that most of her clothes are from the swap parties 😊 when I'm dressed up a bit it feels sort of difficult to do things.
These are my absolute favourite of your videos Jennifer - and I love seeing how you have refined your style over the years too! My style words have remained the same for a few years, but they are feminine, statement, polished. Feminine in terms of shapes and fabrics. Statement is usually by colour or print, but sometimes shape! And polished - I like just two or three colours in an outfit, I don’t like anything that is ripped/distressed/unfinished, or that is too oversized. Would love to hear about anyone else’s style words and how they apply them in their wardrobe!
I love these videos. I find I’m more focused on items that I’m adding to my wardrobe. I try to stay true to my true style but also realistic on what I enjoy wearing…and I try to follow your lead and always try to dress my best.
Even though I like white, I cannot wear them because I will always get it dirty so easily. I love taupe, camel, gray, green, blue, purple ,brown and black.
Jennifer!! I've just ordered that beautiful Lake dress for myself. I've admired this dress from the first time I saw you in it. Thankyou for the inspiration. Love Beverley. I'm an Australian and this is perfect for where we live.
Thanks for the inspiration. It is hard to ensemble cute looks when the temperature is in the 90s here in Miami. Other than linen and cotton, what are other fabrics that look good in the summer? Thanks in advance.
I love wearing dresses in the Spring and Summer seasons. The dresses you chose were lovely. I also like the blouse. I'm wondering what color blouse you will add to your wardrobe. Thank you for this video.
I've been watching you for quite a while and I decided to change because I like your style. I'd like to call it: the REAL CLASSIC style. Not all women can appreciate it, just as classic or classical music is. BTW, I'd like to share with you my favorite woman's book: Simple Abundance: A Day book of Comfort and Joy by Sarah Ban Breathnach. An inspiration! I hope you enjoy it, too! Thank you and to your channel. An inspiration, too!
A good way to find clothes that are similar is to take a screenshot and then do a google image search. Then look at the results under the “shopping” tab
Lovely video, as always Jennifer. I am curious though, how you (and others) go with keeping white clothes clean, particularly around home? Do you get more than one wear before washing, or are you washing every time? I always seem to get dirty in some way or another, even though I would generally consider myself to be a fairly tidy person.
Beautiful again this season. I am curious how you care for the DOEN Henri Top-- do you handwash and press it yourself? Actually I would be interested in how you care for all of your fabrics!
In the US in the 60s, 70s, 80s, people would wear nice clothes all the time. Sure it’s fine to be comfortable, but if you buy clothes that are comfortable to start with there’s no reason to take them off when you get home. Unless of course you’re doing chores and you might get dirty, such as gardening or cleaning or mopping sweeping. Women would wear dresses to do their housework. I grew up seeing my mom do this and our neighbors. This is just a way of huge company selling more clothes telling people and brainwashing people with the idea that they have to be in some type of baggy sweats made out of polyester that keep us so hot.
Hello Jennifer, I'm an old viewer from Brazil and the 1st time I read your 1st book back in 2013, I bought the Clarisonic, which I have since then and it's Still working! And now I bought the blumene trought your link and I'm impressed with the results. I have a question: Do you use it 5 minutes for all the face áreas ( 1 minutes for forehead, 1 minute for each side of face and jawline?) Or can I use 5 minutes in each area? I emailed this question to Blumene but I had no answer.....thank you very much, you inspire me a lot!
I love all of the white!! I do love color, but I naturally gravitate towards neutrals. I really want that eyelet dress, but it almost seems a little big, especially looking at the pics on their website. My measurements are similar to yours and I have the neutral Skye skirt that you have. I ordered their smallest size and it's still too big and I need the waist taken in. Do you feel like their clothes are a little too big for you?
How come whenever I wear anything white, the elements win!? I wore white pants the other day and sat down on a chair that appeared to be clean, but when I got up my pants were dingy. How do you do this with children? 😩
Thank you for this video. You’ve inspired me to begin wearing dresses and skirts on a more frequent basis and I love it. 🩵 As someone who is more used to wearing jeans or shorts and a top, do you have any advice on how to deal with chafing? It’s a bit embarrassing to ask but it’s something I’ve been wanting to ask. Thank you!
Slip shorts are like bike shorts but longer. Much more comfortable under skirts and dresses during the summer. You can also apply a chaffing cream. Runners use them as well. My preference is the slip shorts underwear in a neutral colour.

It would be wonderful if lily silk could add a linen line they could call it lily linen.
One of my favorite linen sources is Quince. 😊
Great idea!!!

I think the Pajama Brunch dress would look less like a nightgown with a different belt.
Or a different print.

Have you tried a red or black belt with the white dresses? I think the color contrast would be pretty.
The dresses all look so beautiful❣️ Have a lovely summertime!☀️☀️☀️

The wool skirt combo is giving me high-end equestrian fall vibes. So classy and simple combination 🍂🍁
Yes! It is very fall, haha. I'll probably carry it on into September / October 🍁
Thank you for making the 10 Item Capsule Wardrobe in this form again. Really enjoy and appreciate it, Jennifer.
You always pick the nicest pieces.

Congratulations, Jennifer, beautiful dresses for the whole season. I love and find inspirational the way you plan your wardrobe, with consciousness and beauty.
When do you find time to iron all these cotton/linen clothes?
I just really want to sew something this summer for my wardrobe. Maybe a maxi dress.
Everything is beautiful!
😍😍😍 Jennifer! I love your summer core items! So darling. Thank you for sharing.

I think dresses are so versatile! You can also add different kinds of belts to change the vibe of outfit when wearing dresses

Dresses are akways something special. I think it's a good idea to wear simply, comfy dresses for every day activities.
I LOVE the brunch dress, also the Doên blouse ❤ all the pieces are beautiful and suit you so well!
Love the brown belt!
Jennifer!! I've just ordered that beautiful Lake dress for myself. I've admired this dress from the first time I saw you in it. Thankyou for the inspiration. Love Beverley.

I think I love the wool skirt so much because it has a slight equestrian feel? 💜 🐎
I love all the white in your wardrobe, especially the eyelet and silk dress..i need a white dress in my wardrobe ❤
I think the brown top would look nice with the black shorts. I love brown/tan with black
I found your capsule wardrobe brilliant, you can wear everything twice a month!
I love wearing dresses in the Spring and Summer seasons. The dresses you chose were lovely. I also like the blouse. I'm wondering what color blouse you will add to your wardrobe. Thank you for this video.
Why not go with white sandals with your white outfits.
My wardrobe needs some major consideration! I’ve ended up with so many mismatching items, and very little works together.
The blouse is gorgeous, but must be a nightmare to iron!!
Not if she uses a steamer instead of an iron. I use a steamer for delicate blouses and it works really well and fast.
Can you talk about color theory when putting together your 10-item wardrobe? How do you make sure that all of your tops/bottoms go together?

The lake pajamas dress looks so good on you. I tried it and it was just too much and the color was all wrong. I love the sky dresses on you.
I love the Doen white blouse, but it is not affordable for me. Might that be a less expense similar one you could suggest? Thanks. Enjoyed the video😊

Is the belt attached to the skirt? I’m glad you’re adding wool to your capsule any chance you might add linen in the form of pants to your wardrobe?

I hope this isn't TMI or anything, but how do you wear white when it's that time of the month? That's what scares me about wearing white.
I would probably not wear white at that time ❤
@@Rositasparks One plus side of after menopause is that I no longer have to worry about wearing white.
How come whenever I wear anything white, the elements win!? I wore white pants the other day and sat down on a chair that appeared to be clean, but when I got up my pants were dingy. How do you do this with children? 😩
