    I really needed to hear the advice about getting out your special pieces and not saving them for "special occasions" and also the one about not feeling bad for sizing up. I used to be guilty of these and liked to hear that reminder.

      Me too, so true.. all my nicest pieces were saved for later and now they dont fit me anymore so all that money gone to waist. Never again lol

      Yeah Ladies, I am guilty of that too. What a waist of money and Life. So many great moments in which these items were not part of. It’s not even fair for the items. We buy them with a promise that we don’t keep 😢

    Yay I'm pleased to say I don't really do any of these. Big advocate of not saving things for best, life's too short and I apply that to household items too like your best glasses, plates etc. Sizes are insane now, I can be an 8 and a 14 in the same store! x

    Letting go of sizes was so freeing. Firstly, and most importantly for me personally, because it was such a sad energy drain. It affected my mood way more than it justified. It made shopping a battle. Secondly, it killed my personal expression and creativity within my wardrobe. Once I understood the lines of my body and how to harmonize with them, I disregarded sizing altogether and instead focused on the lines of the piece and wether or not it suited me and then sizing became about different interpretations of a piece. Did I want it to be like this or like that? Then I size up or down accordingly. The size of the garment means nothing to me emotionally anymore. I try a piece on if I like the lines and then adjust the sizing according to how I want it to fall on my body. Basically, the garment is there to serve my needs, not the other way around. The thing I am probably still the guiltiest of is buying cheap shoes. I don’t mean inexpensive shoes. I mean cheap shoes. I’ve curtailed that addiction to a plethora of shoes over quality of shoes quite a bit, but it’s a work in progress. Better quality shoes designed well that are also comfortable will always look better than a cheap copy of a trendy shoe. The other thing I am committed to now is that everything I own, even the “special occasion” clothing, HAS to be comfortable. It has to be as close to feeling like I am in my sweats as possible or I do not have it in my wardrobe. It makes getting dressed every day no matter the occasion enjoyable. And I feel confident and relaxed even in formal settings which goes a long way to making me look my best as well. No more hitching, pulling, being mentally distracted because I am constantly monitoring my outfit.

    Hi Lydia,! I am writing you from the south of Spain, I have been watching your videos for some months ago, I love the way which you explain how to style winter coats. Here, winter coats are something only for special occasions, but now, thanks to you, I have learned how to style them in my daily life.At last but not least, I what your videos to learn English, so, I beg your pardon if I have made some mistakes in this text. Stop ignoring the icing of the cake "jewelry". Here we would say " deja de ignorar la guinda del pastel"bye and thanks a lot for your inspiration!

    Lydia, you are so lovely! I have learnt so much from your videos. They have actually made me feel excited about dressing. I've definitely fallen into a rut, mostly because I just felt I had no fashion sense. The part I enjoy most is the 'why'. Thank you! It's really helped me understand what I'm doing, and be more creative with what I have in my closet, and also when shopping (rather than simply trying to replicate what I've seen online!) Thank you!

      I walked into J Crew the other day and the clerk complimented me on my style…….very Ivy League. I told her I haven’t changed my style since 1963 when I was influenced by Jackie Kennedy. I have bought classic styled clothes ever since. They never go out of style. I might add one or two trendy items to the mix each season but seldom do or if I do I don’t wear them .

    I am very guilty of the being ashamed to size up - almost all my clothes were form-fitting and I needed to change most of my wardrobe post pregnancy. Now I size up intentionally. Also, I needed to hear not to feel bad about the occasional mass market purchase. I try to only buy from B-Corps and sustainable brands, but denim fits me best at Mango.

    I have one criticism and it’s meant to be constructive. You’re standing too close to the camera when you’re wearing the grey twin set. It makes your hands look large, and they aren’t. Otherwise, great job, carry on.

      Haha yes I know what you mean - unfortunately at the minute this is the only distance we can do due to the distance of the camera and our lighting. It picks up on a noise that the light makes and disturbs with the sound recording of both my mic and camera so leaves a really high pitch sound sadly. I’d love to change it but at the moment we don’t quite have the distance

    Dislike because half the "content" is addvertising for someone who is sponsing you.
