When I was 16 (I’m about to turn 64!) I purchased a “Boilersuit” (something that steel worker’s wear) in dusty blue parachute silk. That garment was so versatile you could dress it up or down. But no matter how I styled it, it always turned heads. I’ve been searching for years to replace it, to absolutely no avail. I can’t even find similar material. It’s all polyester now. Love your videos. Keep up the good work 🤍
Oh my goodness Jennifer! I have a corduroy navy blue jumpsuit and I wore it to work the other day with a lighter blue belt and I felt like a literal rockstar! So many compliments and was just so fun to bop around in 🙈 a silk version sounds incredible! I'll be in the hunt for you haha thanks for stopping by and leaving such a fun comment!
Lily Silk has one on their site but only in khaki green or beige. But they have some of the best silk at the price range they offer. And honestly seeing it makes me want it now lol
Wow! You know I have loved you for a long time, but this one. Just, wow! You keep this up, you will be hitting a hundred thousand soon. Your last one was great, as well. I'd like to see you decorating that new house, too. So proud of you.
Aw Terry you are just the best! I'm so grateful to have people like you supporting my little nook of the internet - it truly means the world! I cannot wait to dive more into redecorating this home. So much to come this year 🥰 Thank you again!
Just discovered your channel and I'm so glad I did! I'm always excited to find a fellow Canadian talking about style that's realistic for our weather. 🥶😄👍
I like how you said, “denim your way.” I think sometimes we become so dominated by one style it doesn’t feel fun. Seeing other trends like wide leg, flare, and straight leg come back into style has been sooo fun. I also think depending on style costume jewelry has its place and can be just as fun and timeless as small, dainty pieces. Thanks for the history behind some of the classics and why they’ve been around for so long. It was interesting. 🤍
Oh that makes me happy to hear. Yes, totally agree there are so many different ways to wear denim. Really enjoying all of the versions and how people are finding their own style in all of the options! Denim trends have definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone and I'm so grateful. Also totally agree! I am a huge fan of costume pieces but you're right you have to be so specific. Thanks for watching Autumn! I'm glad you love a bit of history too 🥰
The belt point was very good. Already after few of your videos you have shown how to easily bring nice framing or accent to the outfits with good belts. I like warm brown tones in boots, bags belts and have seen you using those beautifully.
Oh belts are the underrated hero! Now being in my 30's I have come to realize no outfit it complete without a good belt hah I always feel like something is missing otherwise
My absolute pleasure Jo-Ann! Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! That was my goal for this video secretly 🙊 To prove that we already own so many of these building blocks 🥰
Happened upon this video and loved it. You are authentic and a pleasure to watch. I’ve subscribed and am presently digging through my closet for every single iteration of my much loved classics. Canadians have the best style. I’m from Nova Scotia lol. You go girl.
Oh my gosh Alexandra you just gave my heart the biggest hug! Thank you for such a thoughtful comment! Oh I LOVE Nova Scotia! Need to go back to the east coast soon 🥰
I just bought myself a perfect white shirt (from Power of the People). I LOVE it! Next I am saving for boots. I like your list - for me a blazer is something I’d wear over a jean jacket. Also, I love silver over gold - bangles and a loose watch are my go-to’s with a long necklace and solid silver hoops. Love your videos! 📌🤍
I was soooo close to putting a blazer on the list. I truly still feel it fits but still might be out of some people's style comfort zone. I'm still on the search for the perfect oversized piece 🥰 Also yes, totally agree if silver is your thing same thing applies for silver too! Thank you for watching and such a thoughtful comment! I love having these conversations
Glad to have found your channel! 😊 Really love and appreciate you and your quality content, creativity, insights, relatability, and contagious positivity + enthusiasm! 🤗❤
@@AmandaWeldon 🤗❤️ and P.S.- also wanted to say that another bit I appreciate are the visual examples you include (side note- I would love to see more diversity with these), as well as the references/visuals you include from fashion history!! I’m personally here for bringing back the chainmaille turtleneck! 😌😄
@@kat_thefruitbat Thank you so much! Oh my goodness it is WILD how difficult it is to get a good range of diversity but I promise you I am going to make it my mission to do so. 1000% was top of mind while crafting this one and I really appreciate that you value this too. Hahah! Okay deal! 😂 I'm imagining how much that would pinch your neck and wincing as I type hah
@@AmandaWeldon You’re awesome! Thank you! 🤗❤️❤️ I’m unfamiliar with the rules of UA-cam when it comes to using imagery, but if showing a photo in your video just requires crediting the photographer/source, then you’ll definitely find a lot of diversity from street photography! 😊 If that’s a viable option then I’d recommend checking out Acielle (StyleDuMonde), Scott Schuman (TheSatorialist), Nylon magazine, Yvan Rodic (FaceHunter), Caroline Blomst (StockholmStreetstyle), and Joshua Woods (JoshuaWoods). I’m sure a Google search would even come up with a lot more since there are so many talented fashion/street photographers out there! 📷 Hope it’s a helpful/useable idea! 🤗
Good practical advice 👏 thank you. Love that you show a variety of examples to enable styling what you already have. I've definitely moved away from buying trends that don't suit my style or proportions. Longevity is key even if one cannot afford the more expensive labels. Timeless classics that can be restyled for current trends. Great content!
Aw thank you for such a thoughtful comment Janine! I agree - there is so much potential in every budget if it's spent wisely. I can see this now in my 30's hah I want to see my income and my wardrobe to work for me!
I'm a new subscriber here and after watching a few of your videos and I really like your style and your energy you've got a really lovely way about you. I'll be catching up on your videos, thank you for your help, advice and the effort you put onto these videos. Thank you keep up the great work! 😘💋❤
Great video and list. I am waiting for my next pair of high heeled boots to go on sale. Thanks for the recommendation for t-shirts as my favourite brand closed last year.
Another fantastic video! I love the list and I’m on board with everything but the gold necklace and earrings. I understand that silver is making a comeback! 🎉 I think you should choose the metal that looks best with your coloring. The only addition I would make is a navy or black blazer. 🤍
Oh shoot I just realized I accidentally cut out the part about silver! Yes absolutely! It you are a silver person 100%! Oh I was sooo close to putting a blazer in here and am myself on the hunt for the perfect one 🥰 Thanks for watching Tricia!
I agree with your list 100%. I would add a great pair of black jeans as well. Also on the hunt for a trench coat. I would love a coat made by Holland Cooper. Trench or a wool coat is my dream.
Good video with a lot of helpful and unique information ( like the history of the Breton sweater). You showed some really lovely things. My next investment is going to be an Hermes belt! I, though, cannot, absolutely cannot due the “ oversized” look. On that one, I just can’t…. I hope your channel grows!
Oh an Hermes belt would most certainly be a timeless piece! I would love it if you kept track every time you wore it to see that cost per wear go down. I bet it would be shocking over time! 🥰Thank you for the kind words! xo
Very good video. I am an hourglass and wear a lot of belts. There is an amazing belt source which is family owned called "B-The Belt". These belts are amazing style and all leather. I saw some cute items, but I will not buy from fast fashion like H & M and Zara.
Thanks so much for passing this company name along Catherine! I'll be sure to check them out 🥰 I've learned I'm more of a belt girly than a handbag girly when it comes to collecting and curating in my closet
for me I am always looking for the perfect pair of jeans... I am not into skinnny and love a loose fit and wide leg.. I am from Canada too ... Nova Scotia
I completely agree. I feel like finding the perfect pair of jeans is a lifelong battle hah 🥰 So happy to have fellow Canadians here! Thank you for watching!
Loved this video and really appreciate your attention to detail. Also the examples from other sources are a wonderful touch. They would be even more powerful if you could bring in more body types, ethnicities and older people as well. I just turned 52 and still LOVE fashion :)
Hi Erika!! Thank you so much for your comment so sorry it's taken me so long to get to. This is totalllly noted and I will take this to heart for future videos 🥰
I agree, I’m 63 and I love fashion more than ever! Most fashion YTers are in their teens or 20s, so it’s a bit difficult to relate to what they’re wearing, like babydoll micro-mini dresses, bra tops, or Daisy Dukes. On the other hand, the few video channels for older women often feature frumpy clothes with those “mature outfits/styles/elements” like tunic tops over leggings or skinnies, capri pants, big shirts down to mid-thigh, 3/4-length sleeves, big, loose necklines, etc. I wouldn’t be caught dead in any of that, either. I prefer updated, but essentially classic, styles in premium fabrics that are breathable (no synthetics, even in blends). I still wear mini-lengths; being petite they’re quite long enough, just a few inches above the knee, for me, but not micro-minis like those ugly belt skirts, with the pockets hanging down, that barely cover the wearer’s bottom. I inherited great legs, so I show them off. My grandma’s legs still looked like they did at 18 when she died in her mid-80s.
I'm looking for that perfect trench too it's hard to see what the fabric is like online and because it's trendy there are so many cheap flimsy trenches around at the moment 😢
I got my favourite one from Rails and then I found a gorgeous one from HM actually! They usually come out with those basics early spring so I would keep an eye out next season 🥰 Plus they wash well!
The amount of things I carry in my handbag on daily basis now couldn’t possibly fit into any of my cross-body bags 😂 I find them very useful for travels though. Seems like each passing year adds to my list of items I definitely need with me.
Hahaha I love that so much 😂 definitely love having a big tote or purse for alll the things as well. It's so funny all the things we collect over the years 😂
If you are just starting out on a wardrobe I'd say you basics are the most important then accessories second you can make lots outfits just from a black and white t-shirt and a pair of jeans and a black and white or cream pair of trousers and maybe a pair of leather trousers or faux leather and that will give you smart and casual outfits the accessories will dress it up or down ❤
🥰 As thank you Maggie!! Sadly those jeans specifically are sold out but I've linked my favs down below as well as the white t-shirt! Best tee I've ever had!
From one Canadian gal to another ---- I would love to find a reasonably priced silk shirt ---- button down; long sleeve, tailored. As I am short 5' and quite busty, it's been a struggle!
Timeless and classic always work and it saves money. But it's always good for fashion giants to carry some trendy peices to attract a variety of consumers to help boost sales and generate revenue.
When I lost 50 pounds and gave away most of my clothes, the only one I REALLY was upset about was my London Fog trench. It wasn’t until I realized I could just buy another one on Amazon that I was OK again.
Shop second hand if you have a tight budget, I rarely by anything new and wear high end brands that I would never pay full price for. Good for the planet too!
As a woman of 63, I suggest that young woman size up in any investment belt. It’s extremely unlikely that your waist measurement will stay the same after 40 or 50. This has nothing to do with maintaining diet, weight, fitness or general size, the body just begins to store more fat around the middle in the perimenopausal and menopausal years. It just happens to everyone, including mature men, whose hormonal changes are more gradual. I remember watching my hourglass shape gradually turn more rectangular, almost month by month, with waistbands becoming too tight. No one thinks at 25 or 35 that this will happen to them, but it will. I bought my good belts in my 20s in a Medium instead of my true size then, a Small/XS, so now I can still enjoy wearing them. (It’s difficult to compare sizes from 40 years ago, they’ve become so much bigger since then. I was the smallest available size then, which was a 4 or 2 in Petites only, now that’s about an 8. There were no sizes 0, 00, or 000 then, that’s all new. My hips are still a current size 6/8, but my waist is around a size 10, or even 12 in some brands. Even within a single brand it varies, I just got a perfectly-fitting-waist skirt in a size 12 from BRFactory, but the shorts in the same size and style just fall off! I wish brands would attempt to standardize sizes again, this time internationally (the only time this was done was in the US). I can wear anything from a XXS to a L, it’s frustrating.
I found that I was still wearing “teenager clothes” a few years ago. I’m now 68 but I thought older women wore fat, flowered dresses! I still wear 4” heels, but I sold lots of clothes on Poshmark and spent the last two years purchasing used silk, cashmere, and wool on the internet. I’m definitely keeping my leather jackets and big wool coats. I would wear everything on this video! Great job!
Thanks so much for watching! I have found my journey to find my personal style has been one with many bumps along the way. I feel like it's finally happening though and doing research like this and investing in those forever pieces has certainly helped! Need to do more videos like this :) Thanks for watching!
I rather like the newer term “Fashion Jewelry” instead of “Costume Jewelry”, it’s more descriptive of how we actually wear most of our non-precious jewelry.
When I was 16 (I’m about to turn 64!) I purchased a “Boilersuit” (something that steel worker’s wear) in dusty blue parachute silk. That garment was so versatile you could dress it up or down. But no matter how I styled it, it always turned heads. I’ve been searching for years to replace it, to absolutely no avail. I can’t even find similar material. It’s all polyester now.

Timeless and classic always work and it saves money. But it's always good for fashion giants to carry some trendy peices to attract a variety of consumers to help boost sales and generate revenue.
This is so true! You never know when a new trend will become a classic as well!

No one thinks at 25 or 35 that this will happen to them, but it will. I bought my good belts in my 20s in a Medium instead of my true size then, a Small/XS, so now I can still enjoy wearing them. (It’s difficult to compare sizes from 40 years ago, they’ve become so much bigger since then. I was the smallest available size then, which was a 4 or 2 in Petites only, now that’s about an 8. There were no sizes 0, 00, or 000 then, that’s all new. My hips are still a current size 6/8, but my waist is around a size 10, or even 12 in some brands. Even within a single brand it varies, I just got a perfectly-fitting-waist skirt in a size 12 from BRFactory, but the shorts in the same size and style just fall off! I wish brands would attempt to standardize sizes again, this time internationally (the only time this was done was in the US). I can wear anything from a XXS to a L, it’s frustrating.

I found that I was still wearing “teenager clothes” a few years ago. I’m now 68 but I thought older women wore fat, flowered dresses! I still wear 4” heels, but I sold lots of clothes on Poshmark and spent the last two years purchasing used silk, cashmere, and wool on the internet. I’m definitely keeping my leather jackets and big wool coats. I would wear everything on this video! Great job!
Thanks so much for watching! I have found my journey to find my personal style has been one with many bumps along the way. I feel like it's finally happening though and doing research like this and investing in those forever pieces has certainly helped! Need to do more videos like this :) Thanks for watching!
Sweet lady 😊
I rather like the newer term “Fashion Jewelry” instead of “Costume Jewelry”, it’s more descriptive of how we actually wear most of our non-precious jewelry.
You are so adorable like your name.
