I don’t have a big budget and struggle to buy quality but slowly I’m getting there. Every piece that comes in I have to make work with my wardrobe and more importantly my lifestyle. I have a great work wardrobe but I’m retired and none of it gets worn. I love your videos 🦋🤗
@@EricaBallStyle that’s an idea I guess in someway I’m attached to them and I keep trying to make them work with a more relaxed lifestyle but it still feels a bit made up. I then end up changing! I will consider what you have suggested perhaps Poshmark. Thanks so much for sending me your wisdom 🦋
@@deniseyounger6004 SIt with the idea and if/when you feel comfortable with it think about starting with 1 or 2 pieces. It's a self-care practice to let go of our past selves to make room for embracing who you are and who you want to be today 😊
@@EricaBallStyle I think I’m having an identity crisis as many women do at this stage. I’m a glam lady but have a relaxed lifestyle hard to marry the 2! I’m also involved in a lot of messy creative projects. Thanks Erica I’ll be watching this video and others again to help my situation 🦋🤗
I’ve been binging your videos. I have to say, I’ve gotten the most out of them!! Definitely such a big help, not wasting money & truly finding my style in my upper 50’s! Thanks for all your style advice!!
Erica, I am so glad to find you three days ago! I watched almost all of your videos. They are very informative, practical and easy to follow. I am so happy that finally there is stylist who is not showing us pieces from Zara or H.M. Love the quality pieces you shared. 😊Can’t wait to see more videos from you!
What pants / skirts will look flattering on different body types? I am hour glass/ pear shaped, it’s hard to find the right kinds jeans/pants to wear. I love Veronica beard dresses too, but I don’t feel comfortable to show too much legs.
@@annapetersen6868 Thanks for sharing Anna. I am working on a series of videos for different body types but it will probably be a while before they are done. Skirts can be challenging for a lot of women. If you are more of an hourglass/pear shape, think about wearing bottoms that have more structure to them or are made of a heavier-weighted fabric. It's also helpful to have them more on the fitted, slim, or tailored side. Avoid things like ruffles or extra fabric on the areas you want to minimize. A-line, circle skirts, or super flowy skirts will make a pear shape look bigger. Hope that helps!
Well, you've got my number! I am guilty of many reasons why I can't find something to wear. I'm trying to keep a list of basics that I need and I use the 1 in 1 out routine. Also I need to stick with my personal style. That I pretty much know. I stay away from trends unless they look like they will be around for a while. And I really love it. That's usually 1 thing. My shopping has changed to only one item that is better quality and material. Less is more! I have been a maximalist shopper for a long time, but I really think less is a better way to go even if it costs more. I just save for those purchases.

Thank you Denise! Have you thought about consigning your unused work wardrobe to fund quality pieces for your current life?

Having intention with our clothes and what we bring into our closets is so helpful! The 1 in 1 out method is a great one to do this Marilyn!
Please come to my house , help me!
