I am so glad that I found your channel. We are exactly the same height and size and it's wonderful to see clothes modeled on someone who looks like me so that I can actually see what the clothes would look like on me. THANK YOU!
Oh my gosh you just showed up on my RUclips Feed and I'm so happy about it! I too am in the Pacific NW, I'm 5'1" and an apple shape. It's so hard watching RUclips Influencers doing clothing hauls, favorites, etc. when you are a Petite Short and they are at least 5'3" and taller. Even petites are too long on me and I have short arms too. The struggle is real for us plus-size short women. We aren't the average so designers often don't design clothing to fit us shorter women. Thank you so, so much for creating your RUclips channel! It also helps that you are in the PNW too because our weather is very finicky this time of year. I'm on Whidbey Island and there have been very few hot days so far in 2023. We've had April, May, and now June Gloom!
@@Oralia_Martinez yes it’s yummy. I work in an environment when some ppl are so sensitive to perfumes so I wear this. Who gets tired of smelling jolly ranchers right ? Lol
❤️ all your recommendations. I stopped wearing synthetic fabrics and in plus that is a bit hard. BR, Jcrew & Target have become my go to shopping destinations. I also scout Nordstrom and Macys and get lucky sometimes, but BR is definitely my #1 spot. Can’t wait for more finds😊
Just found your channel today, subscribed within the first minute…because you are not taking me to “settling” for what is out there for plus size. Just now I am able to splurge on me . I love your presentation , my employment requires me that I look put together and you are top-notch at providing ideas! Thank u!
Great ideas and suggestions. Recently turned 70 and my lifestyle has changed as well. Am now confined to a wheelchair. Need to see ideas on how to do waist up styles for a plus size me. Thank you.😊
I would love to get that Valentino belt you show, beautiful! I believe we are approximately same size, but I'm confused over how they are sized. Can you tell me what size I should look for on line?
I love the clothes you present. So classy. My issue is I’m retired. Would like some instructions on very casual but still looking classy. I’ve always dressed similar to you when I was working. Now I feel lost.
Loved this video. I have purchased a few of your suggestions. Waiting eagerly for my BR white linen dress. I’ve bought a few pieces from this company this past spring. Love them. They have stepped up their fashion with great materials and color.
I am such a fan. I would like to see shorter dresses and skirts. I don’t have the legs for anything that is higher than right below the knee. Due to knee replacements and back surgeries I can’t do a high heel. I can now wear a kitten heel. So I’d love to see heels at that height. I think we are the same measurements. I was able to find the straw purse at a Target an hour away. In fact it is on sale. Thank you for your amazing channel.
Great favorites! As usual I may pick up a thing or two you recommend: especially body scrub and the linen skirt from Target. Thanks. I was also wondering about the earrings you are wearing. Where can I get them? They are “a chefs kiss”😊
They’re Monica Vinader. Here’s the link and check the description box for my 20% off code. rstyle.me/+BHQWVDUmmYkPBhBd2pzYAQ I’d give it to you here but it’s long and convoluted. 😉💕
So enjoying your videos! Trying to put your tips into practice. Picked up two blue and white tops, black pants with matching belt. . I have been looking at linen pants and may get the target skirt. I found a Levi style white jacket that’s linen instead of denim. is that a good style choice for my apple shape?
First time watching. Didn't know you existed but I subscribed right away! I want to wear wide leg pants but I have tried twice and I appear dumpier than ever. I am pear shaped. Could that be the problem? After watching, I now know I need to tuck my blouses! My tops are making me look wider than I am. Thank you so much.
Great video. I love all the stripped tops and shirts. I definitely need to add one to my wardrobe. Btw, what color nail polish are you wearing here? Great summer neutral. Thanks!

Hi! Don’t I know it! I keep telling the vegetables growing in my garden to hold tight, the sun will get here eventually! 😆
The clothing in this group really is the best I’ve seen on you..for the most part, it seems seasonless. You look so good in white
Thank you!
Oh! I’ve been eyeing that body scrub.
It’s so good! 😃
Hi thank you for your channel. The earrings you are wearing are so pretty. Could you tell me where did you get them? What are they made of?
I agree 😍 Love the earrings! Wish I could get them in Europe 😊
Lol I have the same watermelon scrub, body wash, lotion etc . Love it
OMG! It smells sooooo good! I think I need the rest of the line too. 😆💕

Right?!? 😆

Me too! I just decided to actively avoid synthetics. I’ll be talking more about it later this month. 😉💕

I so glad to be of help!
So glad to be of help! 💕
love this video Oralia/you do such a wonderful job/we are looking forward to winter to see your video on Silk Scarves XXX
Is the black purse a vintage coach bag?
Great finds!
Yep. She’s been with me since 1993. 😃
Nice! I found a similar one at a yard sale 20 years ago and it's still going strong!
I would love to get that Valentino belt you show, beautiful! I believe we are approximately same size, but I'm confused over how they are sized. Can you tell me what size I should look for on line?
Mine is the 110cm which gives me some room if I need it.
Thanks to you, I bought the bag of 4 belts from Amazon, and the white faux leather blazer (from the DROP) at Amazon. Looks great.
Awesome! So glad you’re enjoying my content and thank you for your support! Please do let me know how it goes with your picks. 😉💕
I wear a 2x dress. Will those belts fit me
Yes, I believe they will. 😉💕
I love the skirts from Target. Where is the black top in the last outfit with the wrap skirt from? I think I need that!
Thanks! It’s also from Target, here’s the link: rstyle.me/+Z7eRWDxxPMnlXlU6GFZA8g
I’ve been loving the Dior lip products but will give the YSL a look. Great things in your list 👍🏻
It’s so good although I do want the Dior plumper gloss in 112 (like I need another nude shade). 😆💕
I love the clothes you present. So classy. My issue is I’m retired. Would like some instructions on very casual but still looking classy. I’ve always dressed similar to you when I was working. Now I feel lost.
Check out my 2x2 outfit formula video! I talk about just that style dilemma. 😉
Loved this video. I have purchased a few of your suggestions. Waiting eagerly for my BR white linen dress. I’ve bought a few pieces from this company this past spring. Love them. They have stepped up their fashion with great materials and color.
They really have. The dress is so pretty, I hope you enjoy it! 😃💕

Hello Oralia
Love the belts!! I checked Amazon and the XL size is 45 in.
How much stretch do they have? I need just a little bit bigger!
They have a good amount of stretch. 😉💕
@@Oralia_Martinez thanks!!
Hi, thank you. I enjoyed this video. I hope you and Angie are having a good year. Blessings 🎉❤
So far so good, thank you! 😃💕

You can wear wide leg pants, but you need to make sure they float over your hips. Try to size up but you may have to take the waist in. 😉
Target had the great tote on sale for $25!
I know! I picked it up for $35. 😉💕
Great video. I love all the stripped tops and shirts. I definitely need to add one to my wardrobe. Btw, what color nail polish are you wearing here? Great summer neutral. Thanks!
Thanks! It’s a dip powder that’s just a number, sorry. 🥴 If it helps I would look for an almost neon peach shade. 😉💕
Oralia that’s a lot of stripes lol. I gravitate to stripes also.
😆 They’re addictive! 💕
Great to find you....
Welcome! 👋🏼 I’m excited to have you as part of our community! 😃💕
Looking for the perfect wide leg pants. I absolutely love your white wide leg pants. We’re can I find them?!!
They’re older but here’s a pair that’s very similar: rstyle.me/cz-n/hka3secvp97
Where it might be a quality belt I as well as others cannot afford to spend $590 on a belt.
