I would tell myself: Don’t settle for a “close enough” item. I’ll just end up throwing it out and buying something else. I’ve learned to do without until I find the exact item. It can get very expensive to buy 3 “so, so” items ( and discard them) before spending a little more on the perfect thing that I’ll keep for 20 years.
Yes, there's nothing worse than when you wasted money on several things that weren't really what you wanted, and then finally exactly what you wanted shows up! I learned to just wait it out. And then I do not regret spending money on the better item either. You will love it and wear it more.
So like Mari Kondo’s motto, “Does it spark joy?” The things that make you instantly want to grab and wear it will spark joy and make you want to keep for as long as it lasts.
@Whatsupdog953
Very relatable, I can not deny this. But clothing that does not “spark joy” always has it's place. Namely for getting filthy in, if you work with animals and such.
This!!! I’m still learning not to do this. It has improved but at times I am still catching myself. Or I buy and then try different outfits of things I already own and if I am not reaching for it then I return it.
What I would tell my younger self is, "WEAR IT." Stop worrying that it might be too loud, too romantic, too sexy, too young, too edgy, too conservative, too ethnic, too retro. If you love it, wear it.
YES!
Hear, hear! ❤
Yes, life is too short not to!
@@alexandraeverafter1015 , absolutely! 🎯
The top two things I would tell my younger self is (1) to take care of my favorite clothes and learn how to properly launder them, and (2) find a good alterations place, even if you have to shop around, and learn enough about sewing to understand what can be altered and what can't really be.
I agree! 🤗💜❤️💜
yes! for so long I didn't buy white pieces because I would end up staining them and throwing them away. Now I know how to clean them and I have found that I use them: more often; more comfortably; and without fear! I love white, but you cannot live if you are always worrying about stains... So learning how to take care and clean them has changed my life!
It has been a royal pain in the butt to find a good tailor. There are only a few around here, and they always have a wait of 2 months. 😢
@@suterdeHow do you take care of your quality white pieces?
“The clothes are the problem, not your body”
My mom would say this to me when we would go shopping and soothing didn’t fit. It has been a tremendous help through my lifetime!
1) Take it easy when adhering to trends. 2) Know your body type. 3) Invest in quality pieces that you can picture wearing in 2-4 years. 4) Limit buying pieces for special occasions or "going out". 5) You can wear something simple and doll it up with jewelry / makeup / purse. 6) If you find a shoe you love, buy another pair and/or in another color. Chances are you won't find it again. You'll also have something nice in yesterday's prices.
Absolutely! I almost lost my chance when I bought a unique-looking BCBG dress in NYC and then returned it because I thought it was too expensive and over-the-top for my hometown. Months later, I saw the exact same dress closer to home, and this time, it was on sale, so I bought it immediately. I knew the dress was meant for me and still wear it to this day.
With prices going way up and quality going down, I am glad I am have found some (or inherited from my mother who can no longer wear those pieces) from yesterday’s prices. My official LBD was originally hers; she bought it more than 50 years ago, and it still looks perfect.
To my younger self; don’t get rid of pieces that probably will come back into fashion as they aren’t high fashion anyway and you will wish you still had them.
To my current self; you were right.
So true & well said ! 💙
Yes. This.
most of the time when a fashion comes back, it's in a different form than it was before.
@@SueRosalie Too often true , even if just a small tweak here 'n there . sigh...
NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU WEAR. I used to feel so self conscious about the bright colors or patterns I liked and I was so afraid people would think I looked ridiculous or like I was trying too hard or that I was overdressed. And as I got older, I realized no one actually cares. No one is going home at the end of the day and thinking about my outfits.
Letting go of that and not letting that idea inform my decisions or behavior was a real game changer. And I actually found once I really committed to dressing the way that I wanted, that people were very receptive and even far more complimentary.
Femininity is a superpower ❤
I love that phrase "the strength inside is enough". So true! We don't have to conform to a standard look but can honour our passions and our softer sides, as all intrinsically part of our strength. Thank you for this video and that statement!
Yes, it's a great comment, and very relevant for petite women, as Audrey pointed out.
Agreed
I was just going through my early photo albums, where I was a kid and I wish I could reach my younger self and give her encouragement, because she dressed great!
I was surprised to discover that I have always had style. Even without knowing fashion tips, it seems I just felt what’s right for me. I thought that I used to dress weirdly, but it is not true, as I can see from the photos.
😂
Also, I’m hitting that age when basically any photo of my younger self looks beautiful.
I have several photos taken in the 60's and the clothes could be worn today, crew neck sweater and black silk shirt. Though the make up just screams 60's. so i think I'd tell myself 'stick to stylish peices but have fun with makeup and hair'.
I would tell my younger self "You didn't need to wear all those platform shoes in the 70's to make you look taller!" Now I am embracing my 5'1 stature and love wearing comfortable shoes and sneakers. I love the Sezane Chloe print blouse that you are wearing.
Audrey your point on having variations of the same thing (like white shirts) is bang on. I have a fairly simple style and this has really helped me. Also it’s such a relief to stop looking for the “perfect item” because it reality I need like 4-5 white t shirts that are slightly different
white shirts are classic and you need a few of them.
The v neck is exceptionally flattering on you
“ The strength inside is enough” - love ❤️ that! So true! - Amy
“Give yourself the grace”. I love that in all things not just fashion. We are quick to forgive a friend, relative and yet we can punish ourself for years. Give yourself grace. You deserve it❤❤❤
I would tell my younger self...to spend a little money get the better clothing...they never go out of style and last longer...its ok to do that with certain pieces of clothing 😊
Audrey you should do a video on how you protect the clothing you have from wear and tear and keep them long lasting.
Having my colours done was the best thing I did for my wardrobe .
I'd tell myself, social media is a great source of inspiration but ultimately listen to your heart when buying clothes. I bought so many pieces in high school/college because I liked one particular blogger's style. I thought she looked great, so then I'd go buy a piece similar to something she had and I didn't really like it but I thought I could make it work because she made it look so great. I never felt good wearing it, it started getting left in my closet and then I got rid of it. You know if you will wear something multiple times.
I’ve leaned over the years that I am better buying quality and timeless pieces. They never go out of style and just classic and timeless. My younger self bought trendy pieces and I was constantly updating. Ty for your video:)❤ so much
I would tell my younger self wear what you want to wear and pay no mind to any negativity that wants to tear you down. Equally, say thank you to a compliment instead of making less of what they are complimenting me on. Dress how you want & feel to express yourself to others.
I just found your channel and I’ve binged so many videos. I love your delivery of fashion advice. You don’t come off as chastising or “uppity” you are very encouraging and guiding
Audrey, enjoyed seeing the placement of your green leaf plants! Thank you. Pete
Hahaha, my advice to my younger self would be to remove ALL white clothing items from my wardrobe. It took years to realise that I am a natural mud magnet and am never going to be able to keep any white item clean for more than about 2 minutes!
I am currently 2016 + am taking notes to become 2023 😭♥️ thank you for such helpful advice!!
I would tell my younger self...
1. One day you will enjoy buying clothes instead of every shopping trip ending in tears.
2. A good seamstress will be your best friend.
3. Just because you are told you have to wear certain shapes to flatter your body, doesn't mean you have to listen. Wear what you want to and feel great!
Audrey, your tips are always so helpful, thank you!
Love this video. Thanks for all your wonderful tips.
I love these tips, but my instinct was NOT correct with the colors I gravitated towards haha. I am a soft summer... so I need muted cool colors, and I always gravitated towards BRIGHT WARM colors... and then always wondered why things just looked wrong on me. Now I know! Getting my colors professionally done was definitely worth it and life-changing! Some of us don't have that natural instinct haha...
Haha same here but the other way around. I had a number of shirts I would wear all the time as a teenager, that were somewhere between lavender and a cool pink. They did not make me look good at all, but it didn’t occur to me for a long time.
I'm curious, and maybe I've forgotten an old video on this, why "cohesive" is so important to your style. I guess maybe that's part of your personal style, that consistency. I like to communicate different things on different days so I really love having variety in my wardrobe and not sticking to one color palette. When I have a number of variations on the same item, unless it's a staple of my wardrobe, I just end up wearing the one I like best and getting rid of the others. So maybe cohesion just doesn't work for me? I mix neutrals and statement pieces so it's easy to style in various ways without needing to have similarity or compatibility between statement pieces.
There's a great video by Style Thoughts by Rita on capsule wardrobes where this is discussed (good watch, highly recommend) and she talks about how a lot of people discussing style focus on cohesion and consistency over other possible ways of developing style, ex. having a wide variety for your own variety of moods or nurturing a few different style personalities. I think consistency/cohesion is important when you're first starting out but as you figure out what works and what doesn't, it can become somewhat more restricting than some of us want (speaking from experience) so yeah just my two cents on the matter
@@lifeontheledgerlines8394 😊
Look out style never go wrong.
Great tips Audrey!🌻A variation of this was on my mind as well, I literally just made a video yesterday on this general topic. Beautiful looks as always!! 💕🙂
I loved your comment about the ruffles and delicate details. I’m on the other end of that spectrum being 5’9” with a very athletic build. I find I gravitate towards those items to feel more delicate and more stereotypically feminine. It’s fun to play with different styles depending on your mood!
Thank you:) your videos are unique, informative and amazing. Also your kind and soft manner drags people towards you.
Love the advice regarding white shirts -
I always have white shirts of various styles.❤
I think I would teach my younger (petite) self that it's okay to get things altered instead of letting the bottoms of my jeans tatter as I walked on them. I would also spend more on some quality, classic things that would last me throughout my life instead of always buying the cheapest fast fashion item that I can "just buy another one if this one gets ruined" theory I had previously been working with.
Your videos are always amazing! Style advice for my younger self would be: Always go with your mother to the secondhand clothing store, don't let her just grab something while she's out and invest in great basics. Also, if you find a great shoe that you like...buy multiples if you can afford to so that you don't wear them out as your only pair of that kind of shoe and find yourself having to go on the hunt for a new shoe to try and get comfortable with. Additionally (on top of that) use your birthday money and any other opportunities for asking for supplements to balance out your diet and drink more water and no sodas.
You always look sooo classy and gorgeous Audrey…I love how quietly elegant you are!!! ❤ 🇨🇦
Nice video, love your blouse collection!!
Are you able to do a video about belts?? I’m having a lot of trouble finding belts that are good quality, affordable, and actually look good!
Personally I've had a lot of success at thrift and consignment shops! I love having a good range of options for a small budget; I have some very quality leather belts that I've loved for many years that were all under $5
@@holographictheory1501 Thanks for the recommendation! I will check some thrift stores for belts!!!
Loved this ❤😊
I don't think there is something wrong with what you wore when you were young.
I'll tell my younger self that I did well. Wear whatever you see fit and you look good on.
Love your videos and love Sezanne! Such a dream collab!
With the exception of a few formal or fancy occasions, my style for the last 20 years has been really all over the place or non existent. 😰 I'm working on reducing the number of clothes and keeping only what really makes sense. In my culture it's very common to gift new or used clothes to family members or close friends, so there's been a steady stream of such pieces into my wardrobe and these aren't necessarily what I would choose, but it's hard to discard them.
So I'd tell my younger self more or less the same I'm telling my current self
1. Reject hand me downs unless you really love them
2. Don't buy something just because it's on sale
3. If it's uncomfortable for any reason - size, fit, material - don't buy it even if it looks good
4. Buy natural materials unless it's sports clothing
5. Buy sports clothing in matching sets according to the season
6. Buy loungewear with intention and in matching sets
7. Shoes, belts and bags don't last unless they're from genuine leather
8. Higher price doesn't necessarily equal higher quality
9. Wash wool with cold water only, with the right detergent and on the wool cycle
10. For each colourful item you need a counterpart in a neutral colour. (I love colours and my closet looks like Willi Wonka's factory to the point where I struggle to match the items sometimes)
11. It's not true that comfort and beauty are mutually exclusive.
I resonated with this tips. I read “Does This Make Me Look Fat?” By Leah Feldon in highschool and pretty much only wore dark colors all the way through college. I’m short too, so I was always afraid of putting on weight. I also avoided prints and feminine touches for fear that people wouldn’t take me seriously. I’ve only started wearing white now in my 30’s - and some prints and more feminine details!
I spent time thinking I needed to wear stuff that made my butt look smaller. They always gave advice on how to do that when appearing on talk shows. Turns out some of us are built in a way that we need to wear things like crop tops. I thought I would look terrible b/c they shamed everybody who wasn't a size 0 for wearing them. Don't hide things with clothes and makeup. Use them to accentuate what you've got going for you.
I wish I'd known about Kibbe and color theory as a teen. I would've felt so much more confident in school.
Hi Audrey! Could you do an updated review of your handbags and also the new verafied bags you have been styling? Thanks so much!
Confidence comes from within, stop worrying about what others thing, let God discernment and mine guide me, things work out and have fun!
Madam your voice is so soothing❤
I think your 2016 outfit was on point too
I avoid white clothes because they seem to get food or some kind of stain right away. They also don't stay white and get dingy. Might you do a video on how you keep your white clothes pristine? I got a couple of inexpensive T-shirts this summer and have washed them by hand because I don't want them to turn gray. I don't like to wear them because they are a pain to wash.
Just a suggestion. With your all white garments, you can wash them on delicate in the machine if you don’t put ANYTHING with color in the same load, not even ivory or oatmeal, just white and nothing but white. Wash and if you can air dry them, they will stay bright white much longer. I know I need to do this, but if my husband does the was he just throws everything in together with a color catcher sheet and my whites are always slightly grey afterwards (sigh). Just can’t get him to sort garments.
@@paulachristie7807 Thanks! Do you have any tips for stains? The tiniest thing on a bright white fabric seems to leave a mark.
@Myo Bee There are many sources for stain removal advice. I'm sure TH-cam has videos. Best removal process depends on what the stain is.
Nice video😊 what’s the white handbag ? Really like it!
Thank you! It’s from Verefied 🤍
5:43 I see what you did there (with your belt!). Nice trick!
Hey Audrey! Did you ever end up listing that frances austen sweater? I can't find it anymore but every since you showed it off I've been so in love with it.
I wold recommend myself to find out that less is more , and color combination in not that hard to learn . Then I would recommend myself to find Audrey’s channel as fast as possible :)
I am 66 and my teeth are not a pretty white, they are more of a light off white, so I lean more to an ivory or off white color top, unless I have a scarf or accessory that adds color to the white top.
Audrey can you please tell me where that beige clutch bag is from? ❤
Beautiful pieces. May you share a discount code for sezanne?
7:05 I've been eyeing this shirt for a while. Can you button it the entire way up? Is the white, sheer?
To my younger self.. Enjoy your wardrobe, experiment and always dress for your body and the occasion.
I would tell my younger self to not wear a style that wasnt me just to be trendy. Lol iam sure i wore clothes that said just that.😊
I would tell myself to wear what makes me feel comfortable and beautiful. And not compare myself to others to avoid buying items or clothes that thats not me at all.
Where’s the white/ neutral bag from?
"What would I tell my younger self?" Find the money, no matter the funds, budget, and time to look my best. I had such little money as a young woman on my own (and lacked confidence & courage) and dressed horribly. I shudder just thinking about:(
My advice for younger myself would be to spend some time ironing your clothes before heading out and buy a steamer😅
I would tell myself to avoid mens cut, straight cut t-shirts and not to worry about my stomach and hips so much that I would go so many sizes up but instead to honour my silhouette with peplum styles and not to shy away from going big on the drapes, puffs and prints/patterns to make sure I don’t just look lost in what I wear and baggy most of the time. I was too shy to wear feminine clothes when I actually look balanced in them
What I'd tell my younger self :
1. Wear it if you only feel confident in it!! Don't force it. I should have known earlier that when you're comfortable wearing something, then it makes you feel confident too.
2. Do not wear it just because it's on trend even tho you're not comforable wearing it.
3. You don't have to wear it if it you don't feel like 'yourself' wearing it.
4. And yeah, stay unique by expressing yourself thru your clothes. Don't think of other's opinions on how you carry yourself. ❤
❤
I'd tell my younger self to not be so harsh on myself, to relax and have fun with clothes. No one is perfect, and it's okay to look weird sometimes. When I watch yours and other channels, I like them in the beginning, I'm in awe how well you all dress. A little later I start noticing the weirdness or weird clothing choices because everyone is a little weird at times and no wardrobe is perfect. We are all perfectly imperfect l. It's okay to be minimal and try to reduce waste, by buying higher quality. Other times its not smart because your child will make your cashmere sweater dirty with acrylic paint numerous times if you want then to experience different things in life. Hence, relax. Have fun a little. It's okay not to try to look perfect.
Being a soft woman is a strength . People will still respect tou or not, it depends on them . If they respect themselves, they will respect you. And vice versa!❤
Hi miss. You are beautiful and amazing
Funny thing about white top which I was told by a dressmaker in India-they told me light skinned people are wrong to go for white tops because it makes their face look washed out. White looks great if you are tanned or slightly darker, so from this point, white bridal dress makes white person look less prominent somehow...
I look like a cone with a white shirt😢
