    Great advice! For many years, I have used the trick to measure the pants for fit! I laughed recently when shopping in a second hand market as I noticed a woman staring at me as I measured the waistband on my neck! I am an American recently retired to southern Italy, I found a fabulous second hand shop and have recently acquired an original Louie Vuitton handbag, and a beautiful Versace blouse at a fraction of the original price. It’s not about the label and price point. It’s about the quality and design. I worn scrubs for many years because I worked as a nurse in major trauma and critical care. Now, in retirement i love wearing beautiful outfits, it gives me joy. I dress up to go to the supermarket! Your advice has been very helpful in helping me find my way in the world of fashion, and expressing my individual style. Grazie Mille.

      @Olivia Purcel I agree...but many people would not - regardless of gender - as they still embrace old-school thinking that prefers obedience and conformity (in women and children)...we can raise their awareness to "check" this way of thinking. Look at our leadership example, leaping to intimidate or shutdown anyone who raises a question...when a child grows up in this environment, they tend to comply rather than dare to think critically. It is a cycle that needs work to break, we can't just wish it away.

We never usually go below 82 degrees so we can’t change our wardrobes around for the seasons. I have got my colors sorted, basically lots of white, along with black, beige and dark blue, with pink and periwinkle blue as accent colors. we don’t have excuses to wear sweaters, coats and all those lovely winter accessories. So I would be really interested on wardrobe suggestions for really hot weather, and, for using them year round.

    I love your videos and the focus on developing a personal style. A note on natural fibers. These fibers also are breathable. Where I live in the desert of Arizona, I only wear linen, cotton, or silk in the summer. But, even in the winter, it is easy to overheat in a synthetic polyester fabric. A wool or cashmere will keep you warm without overheating, whereas you may find a coat or jacket in synthetic needing to be taken on and off to regulate temperature.

These are fantastic tips. Thank you, Audrey.

    I've been using the technique of holding up a top around my bust to check sizing for years. My Mum showed me it when I was a child. It's especially helpful if you're in a wheelchair, as disabled changing rooms are usually a nightmare, either too small, difficult to reach or used for storage & full of boxes.
    You can also use the same technique for your bottom half. I imagine it would be more reliable than using your neck, for people who are pear or apple shaped.
    There is a similar technique for socks. I know most socks have added synthetic fibres for stretch, but natural ones do not stretch at all so you have to buy the exact size. Clench your fist & wrap the sock around the widest part. The heel & toe of the sock should meet comfortably & slightly overlap, by about half a centimetre. I worked part time in a sock shop from the ages of 13 to 26, from school to post-graduate studies. It's a method we always used & were a very popular supplier of pure cotton & wool socks in our city. We had lots of regulars, including the staff at 2 local theatres who always had unusual requests. I remember the shop owner's delight when she managed to source a pair of over-the-knee socks for a leading lady in neon pink & green stripe in the late 80s. They were hideous but perfect for the role. I've forgotten what it was.

    These are all very good tips especially for those who are just starting out with dressing better. The colour palette tip is a big one that I recommend to a lot of people. Once you've found the palette that looks good with your complexion that's great, but don't forget to personalize it by highlighting your favourite colours from it. My mom and I have a very similar complexion but our closets are very different with the colours we gravitate toward. It really lets your personality shine which in turn helps you look better in your outfits.

I have a few pairs of premium denim that I couldn’t have afforded new but what I spent was equivalent to what I used to spend for jeans at Target.

    I find myself doing this almost automatically. I do have flops, now & again, because I really didn't understand why one thing was perfect & another wasn't.
    Black, grey, red, & purple are my favorites, with black being my base color & the others are accent.
    My second base color is a vibrant, cool, red.
    I always wear dresses/skirts, never slacks or jeans.
    That way, I feel more put together & retain modesty.
    You're helping me articulate what I like, why, & what has caused the occasional flop. Thank you.

    The color palette tip is the best ever. Once I figured mine out years ago it has saved me from spending way more money than I needed to. I used to feel like I HAD to wear color so I’d buy things in different colors and half the time I’d only ever wear the same 2 colors and everything would just go unworn. Now my closet is mainly black and white with only sprinkles of dusty rose, burgundy, and muted green.

    The thing with labels is that they're associated with status. Now everybody literally die for the trap.

      @@patriciavincent3838 - Supply and demand is the free market, not capitalism (free market is compatible with almost any basic economic system in a democracy). Capitalism is mostly about a small few owning the means of production, which contributes to fast accumulation of wealth for those individuals. With the economic necessity to increase wealth indefinitely to keep the cog turning, the exploitation of workers for cheap labor is irresistable, leading to deregulation (hence why corporations want to influence, or be part of, the government).
      You're absolutely right that consumerism is a big part of it (corporations looking to make money prefer "consumers" over "customers"), but consumerism and capitalism go hand-in-hand.

I’ve come to love thrift shopping to curate my wardrobe and most of my wardrobe is vintage silk, linen, wool, and cashmere plus silk scarves and Italian leather handbags and shoes and I only ever spend between 50 cents and $15 per item! I highly recommend looking in the men’s section as well because I have found that men’s items are just made better! Find your conversion size in men’s shoes and you will be amazing at the leather quality in loafers, boots, and oxfords. I also find amazing men’s coats and blazers that are cashmere, silk, wool, and I even recently bought a vintage 100% camel hair silk lined men’s blazer for $2 at goodwill.

    Very good and informative video! Love your button demonstration btw! That was so important I feel to show on here. For me, thrifting is how I mostly find my very high end designer pieces instead of spending hundreds on a designer item, I often just pay $2-$6! I think a woman either has a good eye or not for spotting high quality pieces and if not, then the thrifting process is daunting and rather stressful. I always recommend women study fashion magazines and study all the designer pieces shown in those ads.... because in time your eye becomes able to spot something that looks high quality and expensive, even if it's not. That is just something I have found helped me develop my eye when I was just a teenager. You have to study what expensive really looks like and you showed great examples in your video here.
