    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 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?

      I agree! I love all the looks but I haven’t tucked in a shirt in years! I’m pear shaped too.
