Nothing to do with the vid(which I found helpful because I feel I always get it wrong lol) but your voice is so freaking peaceful, and calming, it makes it easier to take in the information😊
Whenever I used to have a migraine I used to hear her videos. It’s so soothing😇🥰
I really appreciate the educational nature of your content. I always know I’m going to walk away from your videos with a more discerning eye. Thank you! ❤
aw thank you
I am completely fed up with this whole old money mania lately, but this channel is so amazing and informative, I just love the content whatever it is about I must watch it ❤
Merriam, great.
the whole old money thing, bs.
true, The old money look is not in trend anymore but whatever, Always gd to know more stuff so that we can implement it in any other way possible
Brilliant!
A popular look, indeed, and definitely awkward if lines and colors don't match body type and skin tone.
Personally, this is not the most presentable aesthetic for me. Cold pastels are my worst colors, and I have noticed that the lines are usually short, hence very little flattering for a tall and slender frame.
I can imagine this is where the ablended/Classiscs shine.
What you say is interesting but the skinny elongated figures are hard to relate to and I can't see enough difference between the figures to really see the differences you are talking about. Some photo examples would help
I absolutely loved how you explained this through illustrations. This makes it so much easier to understand than haphazard photos! Thank you!
You are the best in this type of dressing for body type content. Your scientific and artistic dissection is so useful.
I came here to that thank you for sketches you show in this video. They are much more clear and informative than photos of some persons.
And your voice! It so charming, so balanced and calming - perfect for educational lectures ❤
Agree! I prefer the sketches to photos. With people, it's hard not to compare.
Thank you for explaining that sharpened, soft (Soft Dramatics) don't have that glamorous look when dressing "old money" and that colors can be deeper. I love the old money look, have even before this current fad, but it's so conservative that it feels separate from me. Even my beautiful strand of pearls looks off. maybe some baroque pearls would be better 😊.
As a plus size, I always struggle anyway, finding SD pieces for everyday, so I end up looking either far too casual in jeans and a t-shirt (which I hate), or overdressed.
the struggle with casual dressing for us SDs is so real.. until I discovered I was a Soft Dramatic (only in the past like year and a half really), I never understood why I didn't look good in effortless or classic clothing pieces or would have breakdowns any time I had to pick out an outfit for a casual event. Seriously thought there was something wrong with my body. I still struggle with it, but now realize I just have to work with my lines in whatever I'm trying to achieve.
Also, def think some larger baroque pearls could look amazing!! 💖
I am still struggling with this in retirement! my best looks are pencil skirts and kitten heels with a shapely, soft blouse (rather than a masculine shirt). I have to live almost totally in casual nowadays, living in the countryside and being retired, but just have not got it right so far. @@loelli_
As always, amazing informative content! 💐 ✨️
I love your videos! Please continue making more content for club subscribers!
Excellent content ….wish you would do more videos ! Very informative and clearly explained.
I like how you incorporate drawing with your teaching. Very effective.
So on point for FG!
This was great!!
Youre genius! Thank you!
I totally agree - I'm high-contrast so beiges make me look dead, and the styles are not flattering on my Romantic type figure. I think it looks best on tall, sporty figures and it would make me feel like I'm wearing a uniform - not the best look :S
PS - You have my dream hair! Lucky you! :)
I loooove your videos ❤ you are amazing ❤
Thank you ❤
Thank u 😊❤

Thank you for the great content as always. Could you please make a video with real ladies in every kibbe body type and the same aesthetic? Just to have some ideas.
Thanks for this. I do wish you'd talked a little more about mixed soft. It was at the end and you didn't say much about it-- more about the hair than the clothes.
This is how I dressed for the past 50 years! Classic styles for work I loathe fads and this is a fad that will soon have a backlash...that is when I will pick up new items. I have already bought 2 traditional vests for summer. I am a warm blonde , fair skin blue eyes so look best in light colors camel up to ivory navy is my black. I actually need a navy and an ivory summer weight blazer.
I’m looking to pick up some things in the next 6 months myself!

The vertical exaggeration in these drawings is too extreme to be useful. Fashion is usually scaled 10 head lengths in the body, which is already exaggerated, but these are more line 12 to one.
I am Theatrical Romantic and look good in classics RL is my fav. I alsp weirdly look good in romantic boho
What are the color/contrast recommendations for Old Money FN?
❤❤❤
Hi Merriam, I have a question. When you talk about Cool and delicate, you mean summer in the twelve color seasons theory or you mean dark winter?, thanks in advance
That’s what I have found it’s most likely the case. (True) summer has my best colors for cool and delicate.
cool and delicate is summer and dark winter. cool and delicate can be light and muted colors, medium depth and muted colors (summer), or dark and muted colors (dark winter). Back when I started making videos, I had to make cool and delicate for myself because Dark Winter didn't exist. I only saw it around in recent times after Artistic License.
Love the illustrations! As a soft natural I have learned old money is just not comfortable for me. I don’t have that kind of money anyway so no loss there 😂
Someone times I look manly doing this, I don't know why exactly, I think I'm soft natural. 😅
As for mixed soft/soft gamine, what about shoes? Soft gamines always get the shortest amount of details and tips in these types of videos. The SG segment is always so brief, yet it's one of the most difficult body types for a grown woman to be honestly. We need a lot more help than the other body types imho.
I’ve always thought SG people were lucky, with lots of options! But I guess that might not be as true as it seems from the outside (I’m a SD myself). But I always thought, if I was a SG, I would just re-watch all of Pretty Little Liars and copy a bunch of Aria’s outfits (actress Lucy Hale, a SG). They dressed her body type so well in that show, and her outfits were always so much more eye-catching than any of the other characters
@strawberrylove5684 Well, her outfits are from designer brands, and she had help from professional stylists. However, for the rest of us it's not that easy. It is very difficult to find clothes for SGs from regular retailers. It's exhausting. Most retailers cater to Classics and Naturals while the other body types fall in between, except SGs. We're left out. FGs have it easier than we do as well. Soft gamine styles are easy to find from designer brands like Miu Miu, Gucci, Red Valentino, etc. but who can afford that?!
I had to turn off the fan in my room to hear the video. Please do something about the volume.
How about soft natural? :(
should be in there, beveled-soft.
@@merriamstyle yessss!!! It's 7:47 - thank you. Capitle titles confused me
@@merriamstyle it would be sooo cool to see a Pinterest board with old money styles recommended for the body types
You should do something about the volume of your channel. Its hard to listen even with headphones or speak louder. I like your work otherwise.
I love her voice and the soft tone. It’s so comforting to listen to and really draws me in. I personally wouldn’t want it louder, but I understand where you’re coming from.
I agree. I had it at full volume and could barely hear her. When an ad started it almost blew out my eardrums lol. I love her soft voice, but that softness needs to be louder 😊

Can you please add photos not drawings! Not easy to understand
Thanks
You are so interesting. You’d look so cute in that hairstyle but a Bob with the side curls framing your face.
Why are all of them thin?
