Going through my closet and found so many items of clothing that I hadn't worn in years. I've lost 18 lbs since Sept. and now having fun matching items that didn't fit and now do. Thanks for the the modern look ideas!
I have a chambray shirt that has been sitting in my closet unworn for a couple of years. After watching your video, I wore it to work under a black v-neck sweater and received several compliments. I just needed your help showing me how I could style it. Thanks for your great videos and your lovely Christian messages.
Great video. I really liked hearing all your reasons for each piece. I also appreciated seeing all the pictures of ways to wear each piece. You asked about my closet and I would add my tank tops never leave my closet as I love layering them into outfits.
Yes so true my denim jacket is also more than 25 yrs old my kids were still babies,I will never part with my jacket,and u also have a denim shirt for 10 yrs old, thankyou I love your videos 🙏
Hello Kay, I am so glad I found your channel. I've enjoyed several of your videos and look forward to catching up with others. I would add, a fatigue jacket stays in my wardrobe all year round. With a sweater underneath during the winter and with a t-shirt in the summer. And yes, yes, black blazer and nude flats (for me) make a polished look any time of the year.
Love the basics you spoke of, perfect for the wardrobe. Thanks too for saying where to find these pieces. Classics, basics, can’t beat it! You always look so nice. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! In the beginning of the year we all need some inspiration and right mood to be cheerful :D Instead of shopping we can look at our all year round clothes in a new way !
New subscriber. I love the way you put separates together! I’ve got lots of ideas to style items that I already own, but didn’t think to wear that way!I will be watching all your posts for more great ideas! Thank you!
I’ve lost 109lb and am having to build my wardrobe from scratch now that nothing fits anymore. I needed this video to guide the new me . I’m from the UK so don’t have access to the stores you mention but hopefully I can find alternatives here in England....thank you
Summer Rose congratulations! I love Kay’s videos. Another person that talks about building a wardrobe using modules that will mix and match is Christie Ressel on you tube. She is an amazing stylist from Canada.
Just ordered the nic&zoe black pants and chambray shirt. So happy I found you! I really needed help refreshing my wardrobe... and appreciate your tips and guidance.
My closet is full of Talbot classics, including my iconic little black dress that works for everything from funerals to cocktail parties depending on accessories. BTW, I’m 68.
Love all these ideas I can use them. I am working from home now and I really miss getting to dress up. Thanks for showing that you don't have to be in dress clothes to look classy.
I’m still looking for a classic white soft shirt living in steaming Fl it’s not easy and I’m an easy sweater 😥 I practically live in my chambray though Iol
I just turned 56. I am glad I found your channel. A lot of other channels cater to thin 20 something and they are great but they don’t necessarily work for me.
Enjoyed your video,as always. I leave my tank tops in my closet year round. Here in SC they are great for layering except in the coldest weather! They’re not as bulky or as hot in our temperate zone. This allows me to wear more sweaters and light weight jackets. Keep those tips coming!
This is the best video yet! I love all the ways you show how to style each one. I have the same list but my colors differs from some of yours. Browns , toffee, cinnamon, caramel etc. are my base but I still keep a small capsule of black. I do have bomber jackets so I call that an essential. Eve
I always enjoy your videos, Kay- my “problem” with changing out my closet is that I have collected over the years, too many sweaters, many cashmere, and I love them, and I have trouble removing them because they are still in good shape and are pretty and warm! I do keep basics, in pants & jeans, but have limited closet space,too. I love all of the outfits you choose and combinations I wouldn’t think to do...and I have added a white blouse and chambray to my wardrobe and will have to iron them and incorporate in with cardigans. Keep the cute outfits coming! ☺️
I love your suggestions and am going to research your suggestions for winter and spring... my situation is I live in Southern California where casual and summer is the usual. I am looking forward to streamlining my closet.
I love your videos! I'm finally learning how to dress classy, look good in my clothes and feel great! I'm close to 50 and was having a hard timd letting go of certain pieces, but learning from you has allowed me to accept my age because I can still look great, no matter what my age. I shall pass this video to my friend who is almost 60, but dresses like a teenager. Lol! 😆 I'm your new subscriber and I'm from Vancouver British Columbia 🇨🇦 Peace!
I’m so proud of myself. I had everything on the list except the Black blazer. (I just got rid of the one I had because I never wore it). I think it’s because black usually looks pretty harsh on me. I hope someone else enjoys it and actually wears it! Great video, thank you for explaining everything so well!!
Your basics are right on. You can find many, good Talbot and Chico on Poshmark and the real real. A good alternative for Talbots white shirt ( I have 5). Is George by Walmart. This is my go-to shirt. I also have a linen one from Chico’s. My favorite black pants are pontelle slimming slacks from Chico’s.
My first time watching you! Love it… I really want to find that Frame white silk house. I have a button ‘aversion’ -I never wear blouses or dresses with buttons on them:)
Your advice is quite good and I agree with this video. I'm watching your video for the first time and I just subscribed. I don't know everything about fashion though and aging does have its challenges when it comes to getting dressed. I'm sure I'll get plenty more good tips as time goes on. Thank you D.
Yes! I was just looking through their new collection. They have this trench coat. rstyle.me/+sQ2ysIikuQBz6bQrrOk3Aw and I like this longer denim jacket for some body types. rstyle.me/+VTxxGIEdJ69ZAf6DoLeY1A Oh, and I really like this barn jacket! rstyle.me/+VIyEKazo7QgS-faHKyGypA
The other item (again, not really clothing) that stays in my closet year round is my Talbots reversible navy and gray leather belt. Since I have more navy than black in my wardrobe, this belt looks good with everything, and pulls my outfits (and me!) together.
Yes I agree, fashion is fun and I do love shopping, but since iam retired now I like shopping for clothes I’ll use all year round ! I always buy cotton tshirts long sleeve and short sleeve in white,taupe,black and a light gray ( Everlane ) are my favorite tshirts I only have a few pairs of jeans ( Levi’s ) one black and one in a medium wash blue denim in the Spring and Summer I wear knee length denim shorts or Chino shorts ( (JCrew ) are my favorites I may need a denim jacket ☺️ Thanks for your videos 🌾
Wonderful video, as always, Kay. My cotton and silk (I have synthetic-fiber phobia) tank tops also stay in my closet year-round. In addition to summer wear, I use them a lot as underlayers in the winter. My upper arms aren’t so good, I should probably wear short sleeves instead, but it’s just too hot where I live.
I think it would be helpful if when you make the statement that everyone should have a white blouse that you mention at the same time that some people cannot wear white button off white cream or Light Beige would work the same
I just discovered you recently and now I’m a fan ! I’ve bought a few things that you have suggested ...I’m trying to find a sleeveless hoodie but no luck ...I don’t see the grey zip up brand listed that you have shown in this video and others
I love the photos you share - and your insights. I’ve just discovered your channel a few days ago. Please, please, please - tell me where I can find the amazing black leather jacket you are wearing (gold buttons). Thank you!
Yes! I’m all for those, too. I actually did decide to put my white jeans away this year, not because you have to, but because I want to reserve them for spring and summer and have them to look forward to. But I’m with you!
I have not had a blazer or jacket in my wardrobe for over 10 years. I have not even seen them in the stores during this time. Talk about an aging look. Only this year are some new, very broad shoulder styles in jackets coming in. And the girls are wearing them over casual tee shirts.
Good video. I just can’t get into the denim jacket thing. Feel it is not flattering to my figure and do not find it to be comfortable. I would swap this out for a safari or utility jacket instead.
New follower. Love all of your suggestions., you look wonderful in everything you suggest. Most of these ideas are VERY unflattering to those over your small size. A pear shaped woman a few sizes up from you can not wear tops or jackets ending at the hips. Could you please dress someone else with current styles adapted for a more common realistic shape?
Thanks for showing that women can look fashionable, classy and gorgeous at any age.
I really appreciate the photos where you model the items you talk about.
Going through my closet and found so many items of clothing that I hadn't worn in years. I've lost 18 lbs since Sept. and now having fun matching items that didn't fit and now do. Thanks for the the modern look ideas!
Denim shirt is a staple!!! 👍🏻💙👍🏻
I've been throwing
money away on miscellaneous items but don't have the basics. Changing that pattern today!
I have a chambray shirt that has been sitting in my closet unworn for a couple of years. After watching your video, I wore it to work under a black v-neck sweater and received several compliments. I just needed your help showing me how I could style it. Thanks for your great videos and your lovely Christian messages.
Yay!😊
How do I find the your link?
The black looks great on you.
Bravo ! Super useful advice! And you are an awesome model!
Great video. I really liked hearing all your reasons for each piece. I also appreciated seeing all the pictures of ways to wear each piece. You asked about my closet and I would add my tank tops never leave my closet as I love layering them into outfits.
The color grey goes with everything!
Yes so true my denim jacket is also more than 25 yrs old my kids were still babies,I will never part with my jacket,and u also have a denim shirt for 10 yrs old, thankyou I love your videos 🙏
I love this! I am gradually adding a piece at a time! Keep it up! You are so practical as well as stylish! Beautiful inside and out! Thank you!
Hello Kay, I am so glad I found your channel. I've enjoyed several of your videos and look forward to catching up with others. I would add, a fatigue jacket stays in my wardrobe all year round.

Your PU Jacket looks great! I also have one.
Thank you! In the beginning of the year we all need some inspiration and right mood to be cheerful :D Instead of shopping we can look at our all year round clothes in a new way !
You bet. Thanks so much for watching, Tina. 😊
Wonderful. Love your taste. You are a true lady!
New subscriber. I love the way you put separates together! I’ve got lots of ideas to style items that I already own, but didn’t think to wear that way!I will be watching all your posts for more great ideas! Thank you!
Thanks Linda. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. 😊
I love it! Thanks for your tips
Wonderful. You’re so welcome. 😊
I’m glad I found your channel,very inspiring ideas regarding fashions over 50’s,I’m 56.Loved your modelling as well.
You do a great job! Many thanks. I agree with your list. Travel Smith often has nice silk shirts. I like bright colors for my silk shirts.
I’ve lost 109lb and am having to build my wardrobe from scratch now that nothing fits anymore. I needed this video to guide the new me . I’m from the UK so don’t have access to the stores you mention but hopefully I can find alternatives here in England....thank you
Wonderful for you! Have fun rebuilding that wardrobe. 😊
Summer Rose congratulations! I love Kay’s videos. Another person that talks about building a wardrobe using modules that will mix and match is Christie Ressel on you tube. She is an amazing stylist from Canada.
@@pappyone6062 thank you so much for recommending her. I will take a look.
Congratulations!
@@laurennguyen1008 thank you
Just ordered the nic&zoe black pants and chambray shirt. So happy I found you! I really needed help refreshing my wardrobe... and appreciate your tips and guidance.
Due to robust air conditioning, I always keep a lightweight cardigan in my closet year round (mine is taupe).
Kay you are a mastermind for classic mature style with contemporary edge thanks so much!!
Hahaha! Well don’t put me up on that pedestal. I’m bound to fall off! But I’m so glad you enjoy my content. 😊
Thanks for mentioning that the nude shoes should be "your color nude". That is very helpful. Great video as usual. Happy New Year Kay.
You bet. Thanks so much for watching, Kimberly. 🥰
This was great! Thank you. I love the sweater and blazer you are wearing in this video.
Talbots has great designs for older women, and their fabrics retain color and shape for years💕you look great in your red suit❤️
My closet is full of Talbot classics, including my iconic little black dress that works for everything from funerals to cocktail parties depending on accessories. BTW, I’m 68.
I love a denim jacket with a dress
Me too! Thanks for sharing. 💙
Oh my goodness. I love, all the looks.
U look great , in all the looks. Thank u.
🙏❤️👏💫🌟👍✝️
Thank you. 🥰
I love your haircut!
Love all these ideas I can use them. I am working from home now and I really miss getting to dress up. Thanks for showing that you don't have to be in dress clothes to look classy.
Thanks for watching Regina. 😊
I love your style and personality, God is good, im so glad that I was led to your page.
I have screen shot some of your outfits.
Wonderful! I’m so glad you found your way here, too!
I’m still looking for a classic white soft shirt living in steaming Fl it’s not easy and I’m an easy sweater 😥 I practically live in my chambray though Iol
I like the nude flats idea! They really do look good with anything!
Yes, I agree. Thanks so much for watching. 🥰

Great tip. I actually have mine in my closet all year too. Just didn’t think about them. Ha! 🤪
I use sleeveless button up shirts in the same way, I find them less bulky under a cardigan or pullover.
I live in Bluffton!
Hello fellow South Carolinian!
@@ilotefft2526 🙋 I have been living in the cold of Northern England for a year now; it has been an adjustment for sure! 🙂 Take care and be well.
Thanks Kay!! I forgot how many of those things I have but haven’t been reaching for them.💕
Yeah, we sometimes neglect the basics thinking we need to create something new all the time. 😉
Thank you for your kind help! I'm trying to put my clothes together, and I love your amazing outfit! 😍
Thank you. I’m so glad you found it helpful.
This is the best video yet! I love all the ways you show how to style each one. I have the same list but my colors differs from some of yours. Browns , toffee, cinnamon, caramel etc. are my base but I still keep a small capsule of black. I do have bomber jackets so I call that an essential.

Ah, yes. Sounds like you’re a woman with a plan. Love it!
I always enjoy your videos, Kay- my “problem” with changing out my closet is that I have collected over the years, too many sweaters, many cashmere, and I love them, and I have trouble removing them because they are still in good shape and are pretty and warm! I do keep basics, in pants & jeans, but have limited closet space,too. I love all of the outfits you choose and combinations I wouldn’t think to do...and I have added a white blouse and chambray to my wardrobe and will have to iron them and incorporate in with cardigans.

Thanks so much for watching, Tanya.
Love the new hair cut:)
Thank you. I’m enjoying it. 😊
Hi good ideas that I totally agree with ! I also have a thin black cashmere sweater
I’m so proud of myself. I had everything on the list except the Black blazer. (I just got rid of the one I had because I never wore it). I think it’s because black usually looks pretty harsh on me. I hope someone else enjoys it and actually wears it! Great video, thank you for explaining everything so well!!
Absolutely! Thanks for sharing.
What a great and informative video. So many brilliant ideas that you just don’t think of every day😃
I like Talbots💕
Your basics are right on. You can find many, good Talbot and Chico on Poshmark and the real real. A good alternative for Talbots white shirt ( I have 5). Is George by Walmart. This is my go-to shirt. I also have a linen one from Chico’s. My favorite black pants are pontelle slimming slacks from Chico’s.
Love chico's pants!!! I don't have to have them shortened!!!
Great suggestions in starting a wardrobe. You are so pretty and slim you can wear a brown sack and look gorgeous!
Hahaha! I’m not feeling very slim right now. But I’m working on it. Thanks for your kind words. 😉
Love these videos, I get so much out them 🤗💕
Wonderful! Thanks for letting me know. ☺️
My first time watching you! Love it… I really want to find that Frame white silk house. I have a button ‘aversion’ -I never wear blouses or dresses with buttons on them:)

I think this video is so helpful; first time I have seen this channel as well.
My chambray shirt is from Talbots and is light blue with little navy blue hearts. My white button down is also from Talbots.
Aren’t they nice? Thanks for sharing, Issi. 🥰

Those sound like great choices, Lorraine. I love those brands for their classic wardrobe essentials. Well done🙌🏻
Love that blue floral dress shown with the nude pumps, where can you get the dress from please ?
Wonderful video, as always, Kay. My cotton and silk (I have synthetic-fiber phobia) tank tops also stay in my closet year-round. In addition to summer wear, I use them a lot as underlayers in the winter. My upper arms aren’t so good, I should probably wear short sleeves instead, but it’s just too hot where I live.

Thank you so very much....I have everything EXCEPT the last one mentioned.... It’s time for me to go “shoe shopping”!
Thanks so much for watching MaryAnn. 😊
Hi Kay,
I just noticed you live in Cincy. Me too! We are in Mason.
Thanks for the great ideas!
I love your pink coat!
Thank you! I’m enjoying it. 💕
All perfect ideas!!!
I’m glad you enjoyed the video. 😊
love your suggestions! you always look great! Its time for me to redo my wardrobe, thanks for sharing! I am a new follower!
White does not seem to work for me. Not sure if it is a skin tone issue or what. Can you say more about the various types of white hues?
I love that dress
I think it would be helpful if when you make the statement that everyone should have a white blouse that you mention at the same time that some people cannot wear white button off white cream or Light Beige would work the same
Flip flops and a pair of shorts are essential to keep in your wardrobe in Charleston, SC, you never know when a hot and sunny day will pop up
Hahaha! I bet! Thanks so much for watching! 😊
The dark colours do not suit you, the lighter colours look good against your hair and skin colour.
The only time it's not hot and sunny is January and February, lol. 🙂
In England booties are woollen footwear for babies. And pumps are plimsoles that kids wear in P.E. 😀
I just discovered you recently and now I’m a fan ! I’ve bought a few things that you have suggested ...I’m trying to find a sleeveless hoodie but no luck ...I don’t see the grey zip up brand listed that you have shown in this video and others
The hoodie I showed is a dickey that zips into a Veronica Beard blazer. They’re pretty unique.
Thank you !
I love the photos you share - and your insights. I’ve just discovered your channel a few days ago. Please, please, please - tell me where I can find the amazing black leather jacket you are wearing (gold buttons). Thank you!
I also wear white and ivory jeans year-round (and my white Nic+Zoe Wonderstretch trousers).
Yes! I’m all for those, too. I actually did decide to put my white jeans away this year, not because you have to, but because I want to reserve them for spring and summer and have them to look forward to. But I’m with you!
Very well done, Kay! You look fabulous in the color sweater you have on in this video.
Thanks so much, Ginger. 🥰
great video! Can you recommend a jean blazer that isn't boxy? I have wide shoulders and the fit usually doesn't flatter me. I blazer style ?
Leather outdoor jacket , sneakers,
I have not had a blazer or jacket in my wardrobe for over 10 years. I have not even seen them in the stores during this time. Talk about an aging look. Only this year are some new, very broad shoulder styles in jackets coming in. And the girls are wearing them over casual tee shirts.
Thank you
You bet! 🥰
Looks so sweet, thanks
Good video. I just can’t get into the denim jacket thing. Feel it is not flattering to my figure and do not find it to be comfortable. I would swap this out for a safari or utility jacket instead.
Great choice! 🥰
I need a good Jean jacket have not been able to find a good comfy one
I have the "oversized long jean jacket" from Eileen Fisher and love it
Look on ebay and poshmark for a deal
New follower. Love all of your suggestions., you look wonderful in everything you suggest. Most of these ideas are VERY unflattering to those over your small size. A pear shaped woman a few sizes up from you can not wear tops or jackets ending at the hips. Could you please dress someone else with current styles adapted for a more common realistic shape?
YESSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree! I love all the looks but I haven’t tucked in a shirt in years! I’m pear shaped too.
I don’t see the links on UA-cam? Am I missing it?
The hoodie Dickey…what company makes it? I have to find one.
Hi Linda. I have links to several below the video. Click on the title of the video and then the word “more” and you’ll see all the links.
