Loved this video! First off it’s not you the fashion has been BORING! lol Zara is even boring and they are never boring. That’s why I been getting a few things and accessorizing what I already own lol. Get the bag!! Sorry about the dupe 😂 I blinked my eyes and it was gone 😂
I don’t know why I just saw this BUT!!! The clothing has been sooooo Lame! 😂 Like…. What is happening?!😂 I’m going to pin your comment , people want to know who The Jasmine is that I mentioned in the video 😂😂 Do you mind I’d I pin this comment?
Hi friend. The young uns at my job always crack me up. They tell me how “cool” I dress. Like you said the older you get you just don’t care. You wear what you want. In the fall and winter I wore jorts with long boots and other outfits. I mix camo pants with button downs etc. They are soo amazed. All they wear are leggings or jeans and cropped tops. 🤦🏾♀️😂 Love love your vlogs as always!
It's actually so funny!😂 Do they think we are in our final years or something?😂 I joke all the time about being a geriatric millennial but I've been LOVING not caring about what people think.🤷🏾♀️ My mother always used to say to me "keep living" and I never understood what she meant. I get it now. When the young girls "keep living" they will undestand that life doesn't stop at 30. 🤷🏾♀️ KEEP SHOWING THEM HOW IT DONE SIS! STAY ON THIER NECKS! 😂Have a great week.☺️❤️
Every single video is incredible and gives me so many ideas. But my favorite part of the videos are when you chuckle laugh! It makes me smile every time.
WAIT tho! Not you thinking PERHAPS the young lady who complimented you on your fabulous outfit was “Trying to play me!” 😂 MY first thought was…..why couldn’t it be the case that “lil miss” simply has a keen eye for great style and fash-own, baby! She knew what was up! 😊…..Thanks for sharing alllll the great finds! Lots of lovely suits! BTW You OBVIOUSLY have some fabulous pieces in your wardrobe! Have you considered having a trusted tailor who could make adjustments to the clothes that no longer fit?
Right?! Why would I think that?🤦🏾♀️ She was very sweet .🤗 I think that iI have been jaded by the gen z kids telling us we have no style lol! She truly was just paying me a compliment.☺️ I don’t know why I haven’t thought about going to a tailor but it makes so much sense! Thank you for your suggestion. Have a wonderful week Brittney!!❤️❤️🤗
Thank you Connie.❤️ I’m sure I’ve told you this many times but I appreciate you. I appreciate you taking the tine to watch and leave thoughtful comments. Have a wonderful week!🤗
Yes Sis. She wasn't trying to play you. You just look fabulous. I suggest wearing dresses. It is easier to transition when losing weight. You can put on a belt with it. Have a beautiful week!
She really wasn’t ! She was actually a very sweet little sis.🤗 She was 21 and I remember when I was 21 , I thought a 40 year old was VERY old.. so I get it lol. 😂😂 wearing dresses is much easier and I’m thinking that I may lean into that because …..🙄🙄🙄 Thank you for taking the time to watch sis! I appreciate it!! ❤️ Have a great week as well. 🤗
Hi Kura, I love the little trips you take us on I’m NY. When you were asking how can I be a stylist if I have nothing to style? Maybe consider a clothing subscription box to get you through the transition phase. Or take some of the pieces you love in your closet and have them tailored. You kind of get the best of both worlds, being sustainable and getting a new take on a much loved piece you own. I’m really happy for you and your progress. Thank you for sharing with us.
Thanks for sharing your weight loss journey with us. It’s so encouraging to me and others. Enjoy the few items you have in your closet-Be a fabulous outfit repeater ❤
I appreciate you watching. It’s a difficult journey.😩 I’m so glad that I can help encourage anyone because I still get VERY frustrated .🤦🏾♀️ An outfit repeater is what I do best! 😂😂😂 Have a wonderful week!❤️
About 15 yrs ago I lost a lot of weight and was introduced to the fun world of thrift and consignment for reasonably priced but decent clothes during the weight loss. I would imagine you’d find so much more there in NYC than I did in western NY.
Try old navy loose jeans. I'm curvy and they fit me well. They are on sale. It's a good time to try different pairs. I bought the wide leg also, but I liked the loose better.
I truly enjoy your videos. You always seem to convey your personal style and taste while still giving options for different styles within trends. You could use nondescript instead of clean/ quiet luxury/ minimal.
Thank you so much!🤗 NONDESCRIPT is the perfect word to convey the style I’ve been gravitating towards. Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch . Have a wonderful week .🤗
Fellow curvy girl here 🙋♀️ Abercrombie Curve Love jeans are amazing (they don’t give you that annoying gap at the waist). I also have good luck with Good American and Mother (as long as they have stretch in them!) I hope this helps. Thank you again for your fabulous content! ❤
I always look forward to the topics you bring on your video. Today's talk about style will make for an interesting episode. My dad told me when i was 12 that as i grew up, there'd be a lot of things that i didnt like that I'd like,and vice versa. That's just how style is... From my late teens, I've loved heels, leather, and boots! And i was born in Sub Saharan Africa 😂😂😂😂 After living in quite a few countries, my sense of style has surely evolved..... For example, ive always been a prints girl from my childhood,but never loved florals 🤷 so, yes, it's got to do a lot with experience ❤ That Jeans dress from Nordstrom i find eye-catching....qould love to own one..... Anyway, hope it comes to your wardrobe 😅 Have a fabulous week ❤
Congratulations on the weight loss. I have been on the same journey, and I took some of my favorite pieces of clothes to the tailor, so I can still wear them and they fit perfectly now. 👌
I can’t for the life of me figure out why I didn’t consider bring my clothing to a tailor😂 Thank you for this. I will be making my way there next week. Good luck on your weightless journey and congrats!🤗❤️
Take pieces in your closet that you love and have them altered. It will show people that they can still shop your own closet. I gain and lose weight all the time. I just lost 61 Lbs. I never get rid of anything because I will probably revisit that size in the future.
Congrats on the 61 pound weight loss! I don’t know why I haven’t thought about altering my clothing.😂 This makes so much sense.🤦🏾♀️ Thank you for the suggestion!
I recently shed 40 pounds and had nothing to wear. I started thrifting good quality pieces and now I’m on my second closet because I have so much!! Try it! You’ll be shocked at the treasures you’ll find!!
Greetings Kura! Nice to see you wearing “Our” denim coat👏🏾 I have been enjoying mine and getting several compliments also! Thank you for suggesting it last year💜
Girl.. remember the drama?🤦🏾♀️😂 It’s such a compliment getter! I remember you being so patient with me as I navigated that whole situation! So thank you!❤️ Have a wonderful week!
Love your videos Kira look forward to them every week! I was influenced to buy the denim outfit.. I’m excited to see how it looks. I have a white pair or kitten heels and would love to style it like the pic!! Keep being these videos to us and congrats on your weight loss. Coming from someone who lost about 50 pounds it’s a hard but 100 worth it process !!! 😊
Yay ! I hope it works out for you! The white kitten heels will look perfect.☺️Thank you about my weight loss. It's a slow proccess that I'm not done with but I'm sure it's totally worth it! Congrats on your 50 pounds weight loss that is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to watch! Have a great week!❤️
@@simplykura I love it! It is absolutely perfection I love it just waiting for the weather to get warm enough to wear it out. Thank you for putting out quality content week after week. Will stay plugged in!
Congratulations on your slimming down! 🎉 Not sure if this is an option but have you considered getting some of your loved pieces that no longer fit tailored? Thank you again for a relaxing & inspiring edition ♥️
Thank you! I’m very excited about it!🤗 I didn’t even consider tailoring😂 I don’t know why. Now that you mention it its a great idea lol. I will be that. Thank you for the suggestion.🤗❤️
Great video...as always! I love how you breakdown styles. I'm curvy and love jeans...it's taken me a long time to find ones that fit and are comfortable. For premium denim I love AG and Paige...for mid-price point love Madewell (curvy), Wit and Wisdom (Nordstrom brand), and lower price point Old Navy/Gap. Shop for your body today. Get things you love and you can always tailor them as you continue to lose weight. 😊😊
OMG this is the info that I needed! I had a pair of Paige denim in my cart but wasnt sure about the fit! I heard great things about Madewell curvy line but was unsure as it still see slim young girls wearing thier jeans . I will try some out next week! I will be lookininto all of these this week. Thank you for the recomendations! Also, thats sound advice about tailoring things as I lose weight. Thank you for that insight.☺️ Have a wonderful week Nancy!❤️
Checking in and Happy Sunday 😊! Please try Good American jeans 👖 as that is all I buy now! Thank you for introducing me to new brands as I have to have that Dragon Diffusion tote 👜 and I also LOVE ❤their bucket bag too! Stay out my pockets LOL 😂!!!
Heeeyyyy SIS! 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 Everyone has been saying that Good american jeans are the way to go! I will be getting some this week. The Dragon Diffusion bag is cute right? The J. Crew bag in person was gorg…. But imma stay out your pockets and mind my business! 🤷🏽♀️ 😂😂😂😂 Have a good week sis! ❤️🤗
Here in South Florida, our thrift stores have a boatload of vintage trench coats. May be worth looking into in NYC while you’re in transition? Wonderful video as always!
I don't know why I didn't think of going to a thirft store!😂 I suggest it to other folks all the time smh..Thank you for the suggestion! Have a great week sis!❤️
Kura, thank you for another wonderful video! I see that we have similar shopping experiences… everything looks good online but where’s the quality when you go to see it in person?? 😆. I’d rather not spend my money unless it speaks to me. As far as jeans, I personally like old navy jeans because they come is all sorts of styles, shapes, and varieties for different body types. I’m curvy, so I buy jeans from the “rockstar super skinny ” line in old navy. I’m a size 16. Also, I do agree that as I’ve aged, my style has improved significantly to comfort only 😂. I’m 44 and proud of it and I do wonder what they think of ppl like me. I see that you’ve lost a lot of weight! Keep going to meet your goal, it’s inspiring. I’m on a weight loss journey too. I started mine again last month… there’s a backstory to mine 😂
The h&m tapered jeans they are a more slim line balloon shaped jean which will give your hips the tapered leg but still on trend with the big baggy style ❤
Best denim for curves, Good American, Abercrombie, NYDJ, Levis, American Eagle, and sometimes The Gap. I live in Toronto, but I'm sure we have the same options online. Cheers Lisa.
Hi, Kura, the traditional fashion quality marketing has evolved to force consumers to purchase virtually. Thus the disappearance of landmark department stores such as Lord & Taylor; and emergence of diminishing physical shopping experience. Thank you for sharing your content🕊️
This would explain why I can’t find anything in store.😩 In fact, I’ve noticed that the pieces I find online are often only available on the website. It’s frustrating . I used to love shopping at Lord and Taylor with my grandmother. I scored a few beautiful Christmas ornaments right before they closed. I miss shopping in store. Thank you for taking the time to watch have a wonderful week.🤗
Shukura, your denim trench is it! You linked some great alternatives. I know what it’s like shopping and you just can’t find anything that screams buy me now! It’s frustrating. Enjoy your week.
Hey Sis! Yayy you have on the trench now I need to put mine on lol and yet again you have now influenced me to look in JCrew lol Sidebar: Does your vlogging camera come with that mic? If so, can you send me the link please i want that for my bday and rather give you to commission to buy thru your link 😉 also do you have a drone? From the Central Park shots you have overhead I love how you shot that ❤❤❤
Hey sis!! Wear the trench girl ! I think I may change the buttons (one fell off anyway 😂) You can buy the camera without the mic or you can get the "creater package" That comes with the mic, an extra battery and a tripod. I apprecaite you considering me when buying the camera😩 Thats very kind of you. I will send you the link. I do have a drone but that not what you see in the video. I get those shots with a 360 camera! Listen, I can tell you all the youtube secrets!😂 I will DM you. Have a great week sis and look out for the info from me!❤️
Hello Kura, you mentioned suggestions for finding denim. I wear denim from White House Black Market because they have different lengths, styles, and curvy fits. Hopefully, you can find some denim that you will love from this retailer. You have great videos and I enjoy them. All the best.
Thank you for the suggestion. I haven't tried thier denim yet! I look forward to seeing if I can find a good fit. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a helpful comment.☺️ Have a fabulous week.❤️
Loved this video! And for jeans, my issue is my thighs and tummy (and I'm tall but not plus-size not "regular" size so it's even more frustrating). I've found some great quality options at Banana Republic, Gap, or Good American.
I’m also curvy and I find Good American has denim that fit nicely with inseam options as well as I am 5’11” tall. For a soft and comfortable option, GA has their SoftTech line of denim which feels like sweat pants.
Maybe show the prices of the shopping finds on the screen, when you show the items? Then the viewer would know right away if it's in their budget, and worth a search? I think it's okay when you go shopping, but don't find anything. It shows that you're a conscious shopper, as we all should be! Nice video again, love seeing bits of New York, as well.
Hi Kura, okay, why does the fuzzy shoes work with the black/white gingham dress. It does. But I don't know why. Fascinating. ALSO, have you tried Banana Republic to see if you can find some affordable in-between quality pieces.
9:32: I can rock that look, but I would have to find a buttonless top. I have NO rationale for what I am about to say, but I found it is true for me… I HATE BUTTON-FRONT TOPS. I don't know when it started, but I embrace my soft-dramatic silhouette and prefer draped, wrap front blouses😅 14:48: I almost forgot; I also avoid collared shirts, which is weird because collars are an essential element on some of my favorite coats. But my blouses and sweaters are generally sans-collars. Interesting things I learn about myself as I watch this blog😂
Hi Kura, Awesome video. I hit pause and purchased the long denim versatile dress, it will be here in a couple days....LOL, LOL. What's Jasmine's youtube channel please? TFS
Hi Kura, I wantedt to get your take on Prada doing a exact dupe of the row Margaux bag. It looks like the margaux the only difference appears size and they put prada on the front.
OMG I have thoughts! 😂 I always use the LV speedy and the DIor Boston bag to illustrate how brands often have bags that look similar and maybe are even inspired by one another. HOWEVER!! PRADA DOING AN EXCACT DUPE FEELS PERSONAL!😂 It’s a blatant copy. It’s diabolical !😳🙃 I feel like they saw the success of the row Margaux bag and wanted in on the action. I am wondering if they have an archived piece that looks similar to this bag or if this is a new design .I’m not sure but I’m doing tons of research. I was shocked when I first saw it.😂 What do you think ?
On your blue color note; I got this idea of going to a fabric store and testing out different color and finishes against me and how I feel towards them. Of course I got the idea from the color analysis craze which I'm not fully into according to their rules and results. For me it's more about how I feel with the color and a little bit of judgment based on my under tone. I just looked online at H&M and found a trench that is lined for $60.
I bought a few things from Zara because I too am loosing weight but I refuse to buy items that has poor quality. I returned everything to Zara I was so disappointed! Loose threads 🧵, flimsy material, one arm tight , the other arm loose… I couldn’t believe it. I’ve decided to shop at the more consistent stores like COS, Mango, BR and Dissh. I don’t want to buy too much clothes as I want to loose more weight but I just need a few items for Spring/ Summer. Just buy a few core items that can go with things you already have in your closet❤
Omg one arm tight?! That is crazy! Zara has GOT TO get it together! But, congrats on your weight loss!☺️ I agree on shopping at COS ,Mango, BR, and Dissh. Those stores have clothing that is more my style anyway. You have a point about buying a few core items to get me through. I have no need to go overboard lol! Thank you for this insight . I was truly overwhelmed. I think I will get a few things altered as well. Have a fantastic week!!☺️
Hello ~ What vlogging camera are you using? I can see the reflection in your sunglasses. It is very good quality your videos are super clear and sound quality is amazing.
I bought a black and tan/brown london and fog trench from used. I got the tan one for $5. It cost more to clean. It has a lining. So, you might think about thrifting since your size is constantly changing.
Hi Shany!! I don’t feel attractive in denim either and I’m sure it’s connected to my body image.😩. It’s also just not as comfortable as other fabrics imo.🤷🏽♀️ However, I said this year that, even if I don’t lose one more pound , I’m going to dress the body I have and love it. 🤗 I’m hoping that I can find something that works for that makes me feel good. Wish me luck!
I feel your pain about wanting better quality things and the fact that things look better online. I have only bought 3 things so far this year. Returns are getting hard to make so even buying online is not that good anymore. Getting your size right is very difficult even with designer items. Thanks for sharing your weight journey.
Always love your videos. Not sure if I missed it on a previous video but are you familiar with Lalage Beaumont’s handbags and if so, your thoughts? Kelly inspired bags in a range of colors, leathers and sizes for under $1500.
Hey Lady ❤ I have always had a problem with getting enough protein in my diet without having to eat a half a cow😂 Have you tried the Vital Protein Supplements?
I apologize for auto text changing your name!❤️ I have purchased several items and I like them. They are a good buy when you want a certain quality at a friendly price.
I think its valid that you are concerned about your budget while loosing weight. However you might be overthinking it a bit. Nowadays you have multiple possibilities for selling your clothes or donating. Oversized looks aren’t necessarily going away anytime soon. You may have to shop by fashion genre. Like “basics” first plain tops and plain bottoms. Skirts are very versatile despite sizing etc. i think it shop by section of your closet rather than the overall whole the less you’ll feel overwhelmed and disappointed. 🤎

33:36: I saw this dress/blouse in Anthropologie yesterday. The material composition makes it versatile and perfect for spring😊
Try a lightweight flowy trouser style denim. I think the key to this style is that they are slightly wider leg to flow over hips
Ahhh good point.🤔 Thats exactly what I need. I'm going to do some research. Thank you for this insight.☺️

Thank you! I’m very excited about it!🤗 I didn’t even consider tailoring😂 I don’t know why. Now that you mention it its a great idea lol. I will be that. Thank you for the suggestion.🤗❤️
Try thrift stores since you are still loosing weight. 🥰
Great video...as always! I love how you breakdown styles. I'm curvy and love jeans...it's taken me a long time to find ones that fit and are comfortable. For premium denim I love AG and Paige...for mid-price point love Madewell (curvy), Wit and Wisdom (Nordstrom brand), and lower price point Old Navy/Gap. Shop for your body today. Get things you love and you can always tailor them as you continue to lose weight. 😊😊
OMG this is the info that I needed! I had a pair of Paige denim in my cart but wasnt sure about the fit! I heard great things about Madewell curvy line but was unsure as it still see slim young girls wearing thier jeans . I will try some out next week! I will be lookininto all of these this week. Thank you for the recomendations! Also, thats sound advice about tailoring things as I lose weight. Thank you for that insight.☺️ Have a wonderful week Nancy!❤️
Checking in and Happy Sunday 😊! Please try Good American jeans 👖 as that is all I buy now! Thank you for introducing me to new brands as I have to have that Dragon Diffusion tote 👜 and I also LOVE ❤their bucket bag too! Stay out my pockets LOL 😂!!!
Heeeyyyy SIS! 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 Everyone has been saying that Good american jeans are the way to go! I will be getting some this week. The Dragon Diffusion bag is cute right? The J. Crew bag in person was gorg…. But imma stay out your pockets and mind my business! 🤷🏽♀️ 😂😂😂😂 Have a good week sis! ❤️🤗
I love this style of styling video brava!! 🎉🎉🎉
Here in South Florida, our thrift stores have a boatload of vintage trench coats. May be worth looking into in NYC while you’re in transition? Wonderful video as always!
I don't know why I didn't think of going to a thirft store!😂 I suggest it to other folks all the time smh..Thank you for the suggestion! Have a great week sis!❤️
Love shopping with you ❤
Kura, thank you for another wonderful video! I see that we have similar shopping experiences… everything looks good online but where’s the quality when you go to see it in person?? 😆. I’d rather not spend my money unless it speaks to me. As far as jeans, I personally like old navy jeans because they come is all sorts of styles, shapes, and varieties for different body types. I’m curvy, so I buy jeans from the “rockstar super skinny ” line in old navy. I’m a size 16. Also, I do agree that as I’ve aged, my style has improved significantly to comfort only 😂. I’m 44 and proud of it and I do wonder what they think of ppl like me. I see that you’ve lost a lot of weight! Keep going to meet your goal, it’s inspiring. I’m on a weight loss journey too. I started mine again last month… there’s a backstory to mine 😂
While your body composition changes, can you invest in a few mid-level ($$) dresses or skirts?
Hey Kura love the video. I would say try American Eagle curvy mom jeans. I think those will work.
Ahhh thank you for the suggestion! I will put them on the list! ❤️
The h&m tapered jeans they are a more slim line balloon shaped jean which will give your hips the tapered leg but still on trend with the big baggy style ❤
Best denim for curves, Good American, Abercrombie, NYDJ, Levis, American Eagle, and sometimes The Gap. I live in Toronto, but I'm sure we have the same options online. Cheers Lisa.
NYDJ is a new one! Nobody has suggeted those yet. I'm putting them on the list to try out! Thank you Lisa! Have a great week!☺️
Sis you look good!!! As always, loving your content and seeing your perspective on things 😊
Waiting to see the dupe you find for that bag.
I’m searching !!
Every time you suggest something I have been looking at or I own, I'm assured I'm on the right track with my fashion choices! ❤
😂 Thank you for this! This makes me glad.😂😂
Hi, Kura, the traditional fashion quality marketing has evolved to force consumers to purchase virtually. Thus the disappearance of landmark department stores such as Lord & Taylor; and emergence of diminishing physical shopping experience. Thank you for sharing your content🕊️
This would explain why I can’t find anything in store.😩 In fact, I’ve noticed that the pieces I find online are often only available on the website. It’s frustrating . I used to love shopping at Lord and Taylor with my grandmother. I scored a few beautiful Christmas ornaments right before they closed. I miss shopping in store. Thank you for taking the time to watch have a wonderful week.🤗
For jeans: Give Good American a try.
Ahhh will do! Thank you❤️
Shukura, your denim trench is it! You linked some great alternatives. I know what it’s like shopping and you just can’t find anything that screams buy me now! It’s frustrating. Enjoy your week.
Great video as usual 😊
Hey Sis! Yayy you have on the trench now I need to put mine on lol and yet again you have now influenced me to look in JCrew lol
Sidebar: Does your vlogging camera come with that mic? If so, can you send me the link please i want that for my bday and rather give you to commission to buy thru your link 😉 also do you have a drone? From the Central Park shots you have overhead I love how you shot that ❤❤❤
Hey sis!! Wear the trench girl ! I think I may change the buttons (one fell off anyway 😂)
You can buy the camera without the mic or you can get the "creater package" That comes with the mic, an extra battery and a tripod. I apprecaite you considering me when buying the camera😩 Thats very kind of you. I will send you the link. I do have a drone but that not what you see in the video. I get those shots with a 360 camera! Listen, I can tell you all the youtube secrets!😂 I will DM you. Have a great week sis and look out for the info from me!❤️
Hello Kura, you mentioned suggestions for finding denim. I wear denim from White House Black Market because they have different lengths, styles, and curvy fits. Hopefully, you can find some denim that you will love from this retailer. You have great videos and I enjoy them. All the best.
Thank you for the suggestion. I haven't tried thier denim yet! I look forward to seeing if I can find a good fit. Thank you for taking the time to watch and leave a helpful comment.☺️ Have a fabulous week.❤️
Loved this video! And for jeans, my issue is my thighs and tummy (and I'm tall but not plus-size not "regular" size so it's even more frustrating). I've found some great quality options at Banana Republic, Gap, or Good American.
I’m also curvy and I find Good American has denim that fit nicely with inseam options as well as I am 5’11” tall. For a soft and comfortable option, GA has their SoftTech line of denim which feels like sweat pants.
I didn’t know about their soft tech line! Sweet pants denim that feels like sweat pants sound like a dream😳 .Thank you.❤️
Maybe show the prices of the shopping finds on the screen, when you show the items? Then the viewer would know right away if it's in their budget, and worth a search?
I think it's okay when you go shopping, but don't find anything. It shows that you're a conscious shopper, as we all should be!
Nice video again, love seeing bits of New York, as well.
Hi Kura, okay, why does the fuzzy shoes work with the black/white gingham dress. It does. But I don't know why. Fascinating. ALSO, have you tried Banana Republic to see if you can find some affordable in-between quality pieces.
Funny enough. I’m in the BR website now! They have a few things I may check out. I think i just missed a sale though.😩
Try Levi’s. Looks good on every body type.
9:32: I can rock that look, but I would have to find a buttonless top.
I have NO rationale for what I am about to say, but I found it is true for me…
I HATE BUTTON-FRONT TOPS.
I don't know when it started, but I embrace my soft-dramatic silhouette and prefer draped, wrap front blouses😅
14:48: I almost forgot; I also avoid collared shirts, which is weird because collars are an essential element on some of my favorite coats. But my blouses and sweaters are generally sans-collars. Interesting things I learn about myself as I watch this blog😂
Pink works better for you over blue because you have warm under tones and blue is cool tone. My favorite color is blue and I have cool under tones 😂
Good point!! 😂😂 My favorite color was pink for many years. Now that you point it out… thats probably why.😂
Hi Kura, Awesome video. I hit pause and purchased the long denim versatile dress, it will be here in a couple days....LOL, LOL. What's Jasmine's youtube channel please? TFS
Hi Kura, I wantedt to get your take on Prada doing a exact dupe of the row Margaux bag. It looks like the margaux the only difference appears size and they put prada on the front.
OMG I have thoughts! 😂 I always use the LV speedy and the DIor Boston bag to illustrate how brands often have bags that look similar and maybe are even inspired by one another. HOWEVER!! PRADA DOING AN EXCACT DUPE FEELS PERSONAL!😂 It’s a blatant copy. It’s diabolical !😳🙃 I feel like they saw the success of the row Margaux bag and wanted in on the action. I am wondering if they have an archived piece that looks similar to this bag or if this is a new design .I’m not sure but I’m doing tons of research. I was shocked when I first saw it.😂 What do you think ?
On your blue color note; I got this idea of going to a fabric store and testing out different color and finishes against me and how I feel towards them. Of course I got the idea from the color analysis craze which I'm not fully into according to their rules and results. For me it's more about how I feel with the color and a little bit of judgment based on my under tone.
I just looked online at H&M and found a trench that is lined for $60.
Have you tried Good American Jeans 😊
I haven't !But everyone is saying that I need to try them. I will be buying some this week!!☺️ Thank you for the suggestion.
I bought a few things from Zara because I too am loosing weight but I refuse to buy items that has poor quality. I returned everything to Zara I was so disappointed! Loose threads 🧵, flimsy material, one arm tight , the other arm loose… I couldn’t believe it.
I’ve decided to shop at the more consistent stores like COS, Mango, BR and Dissh. I don’t want to buy too much clothes as I want to loose more weight but I just need a few items for Spring/ Summer.
Just buy a few core items that can go with things you already have in your closet❤
Omg one arm tight?! That is crazy! Zara has GOT TO get it together! But, congrats on your weight loss!☺️
I agree on shopping at COS ,Mango, BR, and Dissh. Those stores have clothing that is more my style anyway.
You have a point about buying a few core items to get me through. I have no need to go overboard lol! Thank you for this insight . I was truly overwhelmed. I think I will get a few things altered as well. Have a fantastic week!!☺️
@@simplykura 😉
Hello ~
What vlogging camera are you using? I can see the reflection in your sunglasses. It is very good quality your videos are super clear and sound quality is amazing.
I bought a black and tan/brown london and fog trench from used. I got the tan one for $5. It cost more to clean. It has a lining. So, you might think about thrifting since your size is constantly changing.
I haven’t thought about thrifting a trench.🤔 Thank you for this suggestion. Idk why I didn’t think of this.🤦🏾♀️ Thank you! ❤️🤗
American Eagle for denim.
Hello! Please do the video on denim. I hate wearing them. I don’t feel attractive in it and so I feel very uncomfortable.
Hi Shany!! I don’t feel attractive in denim either and I’m sure it’s connected to my body image.😩. It’s also just not as comfortable as other fabrics imo.🤷🏽♀️ However, I said this year that, even if I don’t lose one more pound , I’m going to dress the body I have and love it. 🤗 I’m hoping that I can find something that works for that makes me feel good. Wish me luck!
I feel your pain about wanting better quality things and the fact that things look better online. I have only bought 3 things so far this year. Returns are getting hard to make so even buying online is not that good anymore. Getting your size right is very difficult even with designer items. Thanks for sharing your weight journey.
Abercrombie has a great curvy line but sometimes I don’t want all the slits in the leg
I will check the out thank you! I don’t want slits in the legs either.😬 so we shall see. Have a great week!❤️
Always love your videos. Not sure if I missed it on a previous video but are you familiar with Lalage Beaumont’s handbags and if so, your thoughts? Kelly inspired bags in a range of colors, leathers and sizes for under $1500.
Hey Lady ❤ I have always had a problem with getting enough protein in my diet without having to eat a half a cow😂 Have you tried the Vital Protein Supplements?
I have not! But I just looked it up! I may try some this week! Thank you for the suggestion .☺️
Who is Jasmine that you refer to re the savette dupe?
Kira, have you tried Quince?
I have not! But I am curious about them.Should I check them out?
I apologize for auto text changing your name!❤️ I have purchased several items and I like them. They are a good buy when you want a certain quality at a friendly price.

20:38: Could you invest in an existing trench coat and take it to a tailor to size down?
Who is Jasmine ?
I think its valid that you are concerned about your budget while loosing weight. However you might be overthinking it a bit. Nowadays you have multiple possibilities for selling your clothes or donating. Oversized looks aren’t necessarily going away anytime soon. You may have to shop by fashion genre. Like “basics” first plain tops and plain bottoms. Skirts are very versatile despite sizing etc. i think it shop by section of your closet rather than the overall whole the less you’ll feel overwhelmed and disappointed. 🤎
