      Nice Video clip! Apologies for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Mahorrla Control Clutter Method (do a google search)? It is a good one off guide for decluttering your home minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my buddy at last got amazing success with it.

    Just met you and i adore every single video including this one which is quite helpful! Nothing more difficult than to overcome the urge to shopping everything you see just to be in fashion and then have nothing to wear. What i love is that you look soo effortless and with basic staff. Amazing.

  • @rubypayne4965
    @rubypayne4965 6 років тому

    I found your advice about the details to be really true & usually my preference for these kinds of pieces. Really paying attention to the feel, no lace, and keeping the white t and button up classic without embellishment. A lot of people think they are getting "more" in a piece because there is some sort of embellishment. It just limits your possibilities. That's what jewellery and accessories are for.

    Really enjoyed your video. Keep it up girl.
    I've been reading up and slowly rebuilding my wardrobe since having kids and now in my 30's and working full time. I use navy as my base colour instead of black but it's the same effect I think. While I have some great navy skirts they are not the mini shape and I think that A-line cut would look much more interesting (going on my list), also I don't have a decent tank and I've been relying on a worn and faded one. I'll be hunting one down as I see how much use I could get out of a decent one. I'm half way there and it's already made dressing consistently in my style much more possible.

    • @nicholealabi3722
      @nicholealabi3722  8 років тому

      I think navy is a great color to have in your wardrobe but there's nothing more versatile than black so I would highly suggest working black into the mix. While I go pretty mini I know that length isn't acceptable everywhere so just remember (1) above the knee, (2) cinhed at the natural waist, and (3) flares out from the widest part of you. This is my favorite tank - it has a wonderful hand-feel and it comes in so many colors at a great price so you can get lots of them! www.zara.com/us/en/woman/t-shirts/sleeveless/wide-strap-top-c733913p3816004.html

The only thing I "complain" is I need to know where you got those pieces, haha. I love to invest but I'm not experienced in choosing brands that give me quality !!! Hope you can link all in the description box. Thank you !!!!
