      That's what I was hoping for. During covid I started watching clothing videos and I had a hard time finding someone my size. I need help. Where else do you shop? These are literally the only stores I know. Aritzia is an upgrade for me. LOL. I used to buy most of my clothes from Winners and if you're not in Canada, it's like TJ Max. I raised 4 kids so clothes for me were last on the priority list.
      Help!

There’s a store in Little Italy called Vincent, and Trove is a good second hand shop!. I don’t think I’ve ever purchased from Aritzia but have been in the store a lot 😆 They have nice stuff.

      I love American Eagle and Arie. Even my dad wears their jeans now. I'm not sure that I would ever spend designer prices for jeans. Like $200 for a pair of jeans? Have you? No judgements at all to people who wear them. Maybe I don't understand the difference in fabric that's used or how they're made to justify spending a lot of money on jeans. Unless they're so unique that I had to have them and would keep them forever.

    I always like petite fashion recommendations. These ones are good.

    • @JulieMeikle
      @JulieMeikle  Місяць тому

      Petite? That word sounds crazy to me, Tricia. I was first called "fat" and "butch" in grade 1 and it continued on through high school. I've 5'6 and weigh about 150 but I've been up to 200 lbs.
      I know petite shouldn't be a compliment because all shapes and sizes are beautiful but it makes me realize I still have some work to do. It's amazing how different we see ourselves in the mirror. Especially when the messaging we've received has been negative.
      I was with my daughter a couple of weeks ago sitting at a Starbucks. She looked over at a girl and said "I like her pants." and I blurted out "I like her figure."😧 I was shocked at how fast that came out and mad at myself for saying it. Especially in front of my daughter.
      Well, I'm chatty this morning. That was a story you didn't ask for.😂
      Self confidence and body positivity has been one of my biggest hurdles to overcome. Anyway, thank you for being here with me. I have more clothes to show. I ordered some for my daughter who's visiting from New York this weekend. I ordered one for her and one for me with each item. LOL.

I am loving all the pieces from Aritzia, especially the black blazer, fabulous 💕 I am waiting impatiently for menopausal hot flashes and weight gain to end. I basically haven’t worn sleeves in years, too hot, it seriously sucks. On a happier note, I realized that we’re both 53- year old Libra women 😃 Totally makes sense why I relate so well to your content.

      LIBRA SISTERS!!😍 That's how I feel too. I need to breath and if I wear the tank tops or light tops under a blazer I feel less constricted and less hot. My hot flashes are mostly under control with HRT but when I do get hot, I want to rip my clothes off.
      All my clothes are loose for that reason. I know it's not the most flattering but at this age, I'm going to wear what feels comfortable over flattering.
      I do need shoes or ankle boots though. I'd like to buy good quality too so they'll last me and breath. Any suggestions?

      I may cut the elastic on the skirt. It fits nice but the elastic is exposed so it's not soft against my skin. My mom used to cut elastics for me all the time when I was young. There's something about that feeling I don't like. The skirt fit perfectly but I want to put my clothes on and forget it's there. Do you know what I mean?
      I have more clothes to try on today. I hope I get them done today. I ordered a bunch for my daughter who visited this weekend from New York. Some of them will fit me so I'll try them on before I decide what to send back. My daughter has her own personal shopper.😃 She needed clothes badly and she moved out when she was 18. I love spoiling her when she comes home.

    Waoo that was a lot of beautiful clothes.
    I think it is easier too say what I didn't like 😊
    The black compression shirt, the hard too get on.
    The see thru leggings.
    What I loved on you.
    ( I kinda love it all 😂)
    Blue skirt and blue tank top writh flower.
    The skirt has that 1940-45 were it has some kinda hobo flowy ekstra shape, It look so flattered on you.
    I know I only were skirts myself, I tend too get thoes that are straight down, but found out that it looks so nice writh that kind of shape and movement in the fabric. 😊
    the other tank top writh other picture on.
    All your boyfriend sweaters , the red is amazing I think it is ment too be a bit puffy, just like in the picture on the model.
    I like the different longe necklace the take the eyes away from one place and they cornet the front so the front seems more flowing and ties it all together as a look.
    All your jeans look so good, same writh your sneakers.
    Boyfriend blazers looks amazing because it goes down over your hips and have that longer length.
    A cropt blazer would give a too hars line.
    I would say non of the cropt sweaters looks wrong, they are made too kinda looks like it's hugging your belly, it looks like it is tught in on its self, and that is flattering.
    I hope it makes sense.
    that I such a nice look, it is hard too eksplane but if you had a boleo jacket, cropt and if it didn't have shape or texture line it would get you a cut over hars line.
    😅
    Your taste in clothes are so good. 👍😀
