Dear Michelle. This video was just what I needed. I live in Denmark. My husband is up for retirement this year, and we'll start traveling a lot more. I have skipped blazers years ago they are to stiff for me, but a cardigan in chasmere is wonderful. My colors are neutrals, blue, a bit of teal, a bit of green and I have one pair of bourdeaux jeans I love. As I sew my clothes myself I can more or less decide what I want, but this year will be a decluttering year, as I'm not sure I really use all of the shirts I have made. I think 2-3 white shirts would help my wardrope. I probably have too many dresses ( My inspiration is your wonderfull Prinsess Catherine) I'll like to come down to having just enough to cover the full year - I can always layer with a cardican if it's too cold. This is my goal for this 2025 then I hope to be able to create a capsule wardrope in 2026. I'll definitly be following your videos. Thank you very much. My very best regards Hanne
I live in New Zealand where people generally dress very casually. Even corporate office workers (except maybe banks) dress smart casual. This means that it's norm here that younger people and retired people literally get away with wearing sandals, shorts and Kathmandu shirts on all occasions unless they attend some big social events which very few retirees do. The problems it that while casual clothing looks good on young people (everything looks good on them), older people don't look as good in casual. Bodies, postures and energy vibes are simply not the same to allow older people to look good in shorts and T-shirts. Plus, when I wear a T-shirt and shorts, it looks funny to put make up on, jewelry, hair styling and etc. I'm struggling to find an outfit that would look casual but not so casual that I revert to looking like a retired aka 18 year old.
Thank you Michelle, appreciate these valuable insights. Excellent timing here at 1-yr retirement anniversary.
