Looking at the links to items I would not buy them, as they look awful on the over skinny models. Everything looks fab on you Melissa, you are doing the clothes much more justice than their own websites….
This video was amazing! I would not have bought any of this stuff based on the website photos alone then you style it all up and I want to buy everything! Thank you for sharing your talent and tips x
This is an amazing channel 🙌 I’m at 35 years of age and it’s great to see a stylist hit an older women gap and bigger sizes fitting. This is real and good. Blessings
Hello my husband had knee replacement Feb 8 th. He has a genetic blood clot disorder and most doctors were scared to do the surgery. Both of my husband’s knees are bad or now he has one replaced and the other needing it. How are you doing? Is your other knee good. The problem my husband has is everyone says well he ought to be dancing now or really traveling …no not ready for that and they want to work the new knee at pt but they also want to work the bad knee and he has trouble sleeping afterwards and feels like that bad knee is worse. He can not get the other done til six months from Feb 8th. The orthopedic he has is great. He has travelled and taught replacement here and other countries. It is tough surgery isn’t it ? I sure hope you are doing well . 💕 Are you going anywhere ? Take care.
@@ritastutler1470 Hey Rita! I understand what your husband is going through. It’s a tough surgery…one of the worst, I’ve heard. I wouldn’t worry about not doing as much as others at this point. I’m 71 and it has taken me until this week to be able to drive just a 10 minute trip. I’m just doing as much of the exercises as I can and icing on the couch. Mostly on the couch! Everyone goes at their own pace and I’ve found you just can’t rush it. Thanks so much for your kind words and I’ll be praying for both you and your husband. God bless you. ❤️
Dear Melissa .. I agree with everyone about how great you looked in every outfit, how much work you put in your channel, and how you look better than any of the models. I don’t know if I can pick a favorite, but that denim on denim was really good on you, but then so was the first outfit, all the ones in between and the last. I am loving the matching outfit …that shorts and blazer outfit is gorgeous on you. I am watching this again.We had a horrible wind storm Saturday and I spent Sunday cleaning up limbs. I forgot to watch this Sunday. Melissa, I don’t know how you are doing everything , but keep some time for Melissa time. I think all of us subscribers can agree we love and appreciate you. ❤❤❤❤
@@mmpersonalstyling Yes fine at this end.. I am still cleaning up big limbs and parts of the fence blew down but nothing horribly bad. My husband is recovering well from his knee replacement and will have the other one done later. He will be in good shape then. You are always a bright spot in my day when you pop up on my feed.💕💕💕💕 Hugs
Look forward to every video , it’s so refreshing to see affordable clothing aired and styled in such a fabulous way ,it just shows you if you style it right it doesn’t have to be a designer piece to look good . Your outfits look amazing far better than some of these youtubers trying to showcase top designers outfits that cost hundreds of pounds and are often unwearable and look ridiculous. Hats off to you Melissa you really have a talent x
Hi Melissa another fab video thank you. Would you consider doing a video showing a capsule wardrobe for a cruise? I am going on a fly cruise in a couple of months and need to pack for various scenarios (beach wear, day wear, cocktail and evening wear) and would also need shoes and accessories but will have a limited luggage allowance so looking for ideas on how to mix and match to cover all bases.
Yes I’ll be doing holiday ones but I need to wait until the clothes are in our shops. You can book a 1:1 session and we’ll do a personalised one just for you! Details are on my website
I don’t know where you are but marks and Spencer’s is available internationally all over the world and that’s why we go there. It’s worth looking them up to see if they deliver to you x
@@mmpersonalstyling I'm in South Africa. Unfortunately even when companies deliver here our duties and customs charges add up to 70% to the price of the item. I still watch your videos for inspiration and advice though. We do have some of the other shops you go to like Zara and H&M but usually a season behind which makes sense because we are in a different season being Southern hemisphere.
I’m in Panama. Wish we had one here too. Loved the short beige blazer. I know it’s not Chanelesque but I don’t know the correct name. Great video as usual!
Melissa am so enjoying - and learning from your channel. This week I’ve tucked the front of a baggy top into trousers that skim my ankles and dug out my gold chains, pendants + spent a fortune on things inspired by you and yet to be delivered. All thanks to you. A question though … I’ve even strayed into jumpsuits (maybe a bit rash at 68) … a great black crepe jumpsuit by Truly, fits well but the waist needs something - but can’t do a belt it emphasises my stomach. How about a scarf around the waist … What would you do? Thank you again for being such an inspiration.
Hi Melissa another great video with lovely items I will be checking out. I have put together a spring capsule wardrobe after watching last weeks video, and have to say it been fantastic as I look forward to getting dressed and going out. I have followed your advice from day one and have been getting lots of compliments so a HUGE thank you to you and your team for all the time and effort you put into your videos. Please keep doing what your doing as your advice is invaluable 😍
This is a great video and you show us with the combination how clothes can look beautiful with us. Without your video, I wouldn't have liked a lot of pieces in the link. Thank you very much, that's totally great❤

Thank you.. thank you... thank you...this was such a great video. I now live in Canada and haven't got these stores nearby, so I have to rely on buying off their websites. You really help to bring these items to life. I also have learned a lot from your body shapes videos...all your hard work is appreciated 🌺🌺🌺
Oh I love this, some great wardrobe staples. I must be learning as I’d already bought a few of items 😜. Thanks again for a great RUclips tutorial although missed Minty 😂.
Ohhhh that amazing double denim from Zara with bow at neck was so stunning on you.Pearl bracelet gorgeous.As usual...anything M&S is so classic and stylish.Love the safari looks...we do that for real in South Africa😉😁
Loved this one! As a newly retired person, I struggle with looking put together in retirement. I tend to buy classic pieces that can be worn for years. There were many really nice bits in this vid. Now to head out to find similar in Cdn stores. Looking forward to the Amazon vid.
I have some simple crewneck sweaters and open cardigans from Amazon Essentials and they are staple pieces in my wardrobe. They have worn well, haven’t pilled or faded, easy care and the fibers (cotton/polyester/nylon blends) feel great.
Oh god I just love these videos!! Just going to the store and show us how items look on you is just the best. Some items I find horrible online but look so nice on! ❤
Dear Melissa Thank you for another great video. I have ordered the M&S stripe shirt, the pink floral blouse and then the body and linen shorts from h&m. I think the tops will be nice with the Reiss navy trousers from your previous video with your lovely make up artist friend. Sorry to Jo in advance for asking for another link but would you possibly have the link or just the style code/name for the very first pair of trousers before the tailored ones please. No worries if not. How nice to see lots of spring colours. Have a lovely week ahead and hope Monty finds lots of chairs to rest his head on 🥰 Joanne x
Thanks Melissa. I love your classic style. I went to Moonsift to have a look, my goodness you would never pick anything from the way that they are modeled! Everything that looked so good on you looked quite terrible in the picture. For an online shopper from rural Australia this makes it very difficult. Thanks for this compilation It makes choosing so much easier.
This is my absolute favorite video of yours. I love all the casual outfits. Wish I could buy a black linen blazer and the brown handbag with the wide strap. I'm in Texas
Hi! I loved the outfit with the black joggers with the ankle zip and sand colored v-neck teeshirt, but couldn't find it on the link...did I miss something? Could you please link both those items as I loved them both! thanks!
If they’re not linked it means we couldn’t link them because they either weren’t available online (store only) or, sold out. That’s why we link similar items further down the page.
O my goodness just like to say u looked amazing everything u have a amazing figure thank u so much for all your hard work u make everything look beautiful well done love your videos Jackie uk 😊
As usual loved every outfit Melissa. As others have mentioned you look better in the clothes than the models! I've got last year's M&S white leather trainers with the nude colour suede detail. They are so comfy aren't they and go with just about anything.
I just bought that little cropped soft jacket in the blue. I absolutely love it. It is my first ever purchase from Zara! Going to look for that cute white cropped blouse next.
Great video! What size did you purchase in the brown wool zara bomber you are wearing in the introduction and the zara tie neck denim blouse? I'm a true size 10, what sizes would you recommend in these styles? Thank you😊
Any suggestions on where to get a linen style blouse, I am a 38 bust but am only 5ftso I am left with loose material oversize at the bottom.and they still pull I have tried Marks and Spencer the number I have ought and returned.
Lovely as always and you look fab in all of them. Wish I looked half as good in them. Look forward to your Sunday uploads. Will you be doing one for summer- I go away to a tropical country every year in January and buy my clothes for my trip in the summer? Thanks
Hi Melissa. Fantastic video as always! The separate links for the H&M linen mix blazer & shorts seem to be two different colours? Not sure if I’m just not seeing it! 🥴
Hi I love these items, in your introduction you have a bomber jacket from Zara which I love what size are you wearing as I’m around same height size as you thank you xx
Loving your videos. I'd love to see ideas for apple shape who wears skirts and tops. A tight top under a jacket isn't that flattering at best but esp if it gets warm and the jacket is taken off. Looking forward to your future videos. ❤
I’d have to disagree to be honest, the tighter tops underneath layers are exactly what you need as the larger tops will accentuate your apple shape. I do appreciate that this is hard to picture when your torso is your troubled area so can I suggest you watch all of the apple stomach videos that I’ve filmed as part of the body shape master class series where I dress women of all different shapes and sizes live on the channel? Here’s a couple of links: ruclips.net/video/yBx40E7URcY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/h6nE6mee-Ms/видео.html
@@mmpersonalstyling not sure if you can see this, but thanks so much for your prompt reply. The tighter tops just show cellulite and rolls, esp if I have to remove a layer...I doubt I'm in the 'oh-so-cold' but also 'I'm overheating' age bracket 🙈 I've watched these videos numerous times already👍💔
Great video giving some great advice. You look fab in everything. As a mid forties mum I feel I've lost my style and interest in cloths. Watching your videos makes me want to go try some of these pieces. I find clothed sizing hard and frustrating which massively puts me off I can be size 10 in one shop and 14 in another. Xx
Tell me about it! My job would be a hell of a lot easier if there was standardisation of sizes but unfortunately it's not the case. I'd suggest finding a couple of brand you like then sticking with their sizing to buy more items online.
I feel the same way. I lost fifteen pounds, and I can be a medium or a large and in one style of joggers I needed a small…no way I am a small. Vanity sizing does is no good. I think Melissa is wonderful. I can not afford to buy a lot as something happened to us that cost us a lot of money…and it should not have happened. Good luck in finding proper size.
@@ritastutler1470 well done on your weight loss. I find I now buy less clothing than ever but what I do buy is of good quality and I can use in several outfits.
@@Winn-ing Yes me too..have to love it, know I will wear it and has to fit well…unless it is something I can fix. I bought a Calvin Klein midi skirt that is real different for five dollars. I go to estate sales…blazers don’t change much and can get items made in US usually less than six dollars. Watch Mellisa and Erin Busbee. It has helped me get back into fashion and my husband said my clothes look better since watching them. Melissa did one not to long ago on mistakes you make with fashion ..something like that…best video ever. When we had older foster sons…four at a time sometimes I lived in tee shirts and bike shorts..so different seasons in our lives affect us. We bought them stuff..like Nike that they never had. It made us happier than buying for ourselves.
You’d insert your pastel colours after you’ve got your basics sorted so all you need to do is substitute one of the accent colours used here for your chosen pastel colour.
Thank you Melissa and team for another great video. Could I ask if you bought the M & S straight leg ripped jeans in size 10 short or regular as I am the same height as you. xx
Hello there Melissa :-). I hope this isn't too much asking you this but what does a clothes size 8 UK equate to in waist size if I could dare ask? Why I ask is because the only size I really pay attention to for trousers is the waist inch size and the inseam leg length. As I take a 30 inch trouser waist and a roughly either 30 or 31 inseam something like that if I could dare point out. I really hope this questioning wasn't too much for you Melissa but I'm curious to find out xx :-/ :-).
Hello Melissa and thank you Very Much for your videos that are so helpful to radically change my way of clothing! You are the only youtube blogger who really does give realistic advice and share tips that really work! Could you please write me what size you were wearing for the Zara white shirt with embroidery and Zara jeans shirt? Thank you
New subscriber, love everything on you, all styled beautifully, just so disappointed in the high street that so much polyester is used, much prefer natural fabrics especially in summer. Though the 100% cotton jacket from m&s is fabulous in 100% cotton.
No video last week but there will be videos for the next 2/3 weeks. Sometimes I’m just too busy with private clients or the teaching school so I aim to do 3 per month. I do quite a bit over on Instagram though. X
Hiya. Great video, thank you. What is ur name on vinted so I can have a nosey through the clothes u've put on please? Tried all the obvious names and can't fine you. X
Love this! anytips on how to style flared leggings? I got a pair and love they way they make my legs look, but want to elevate the yoga look. w/o showing so much skin
I’m a pear and have been led to believe I can ONLY wear dark bottoms. With summer coming, is there any trick I could use so I could wear a lighter bottom? I’d love something in a line blend because the humidity here in eastern Canada is brutal. Thank you!
Forget what you’ve been told! If you’re a pear shape (same as me), you don’t need to worry about the bottoms - I’m afraid you can’t do anything instantly about your shape HOWEVER, you can very easily (and instantly) do something about balancing our your shape by increasing the width of your shoulders. This will make your hips/thighs look smaller than any dark pair of trousers will. Have a watch of my body shape master class videos where I’ve dressed several pear shaped women of different sizes live on the channel.
@@mmpersonalstyling I know exactly what you mean and I do have shoulder pads because of your videos so if that is the trompe l’œil that will allow me to expand my wardrobe and stay cool this summer, I’m forever grateful that you answered me. Thank you SO much! 🇨🇦
@@mmpersonalstyling Thank you SO much for addressing my question. I just love everything about your channel and how you teach us with heart. Have a wonderful day…
I totally agree but to be honest, even the ones that do provide measurements they're often not accurate with a 5-10% tolerance provided. Very frustrating!
I'm new to this channel but love your styling tips and wardrobe ideas. I was feeling a bit lost with my style as I have given up 'dressing for the office' and now run my own business dog walking & boarding, so my work clothes are leggings & sports top to cope with the mud, rain & dog hair. No thought required dressing anymore for work ! I mostly wear jeans after work but was a bit unsure of what to wear as I get older, being short, curvy & booby. Your tip to wear tighter tops underneath is great. It works well. You might even persuade me to buy a blazer. Could you do a video on styling the "older" in age but young at heart woman? I'm 61 & doubting what suits me anymore especially as I don't need 'dressy' work clothes, I need more a casual wardrobe now. I love bright colours but feel I might look better adding a few neutrals now but don't want to look washed out going too beige. What basics would you suggest to start with?
First of all, welcome and thank you for watching! This is Melissa here, I answer all my own comments. I have done many videos where you can watch me styling women of all ages (including ladies in their 60’s)) live on the channel but I’ve actually done one in parts which might resonate as I styled my dog walker for her job and casual lifestyle only a couple of weeks ago. Here’s the link for it. ruclips.net/video/1gXGicyiUwQ/видео.html
@@mmpersonalstyling Brilliant. Thanks. I'm new so no had chance to watch much. I will check it out. I bought a couple of Zara things today. An dark cream silky blouse, black jeans, and striped thin cream & black jumper. I would never have thought to wear them without your video. Thanks again
Great video but I do notice you choose a lot of cream/ beige items which do not suit those of us with a cool skin tone! You do give me plenty of ideas and tips tho xx
The Zara one isn’t online, that’s why. If ever there’s something missing it’s either because it’s not online so I store only or, it’s sold out. We do put similar items on the board if this is the case. X
Thank you Melissa for another great video! As always you style each piece and give lots of ideas for outfits. It’s becoming a habit of mine to treat myself to one piece from each of your videos and I think it’s gonna be that cute blouse from M&S! 😍💕 (last time was makeup recommendation from Hannah, and time before Boden jumper, I got in the red and green!!) oh and loved seeing Jo in the video too, great job ladies! ☺️
Hi Melissa I'm a new sub enjoying your channel. Do you have any recommendations for light work cardigans? I'm in the Caribbean where its warm most of the times so jackets will not work for me.
Oh how that long navy dress in a White Company is absolutely beautiful on you but sadly at 5’9 size 12 it was too high waisted for me plus couldn’t try the next size up as it wasn’t available online. So many dresses are too high cut in the waist, why can’t they vary the style of dresses to suit all frames? 😢 So disappointing.
It's not the top you need to worry about, it's the bottom half. So in theory pockets would add some extra volume to the bust but that doesn't matter as long as you're balancing out your top half by wearing something more widening on the bottom half. Even if you wore a top without the pockets, your bust would still make you look top heavy. Concentrate on getting the bottom half right first, then you can wear most things on top. Have a look at my body shape master class series where i've dressed several top heavy ladies live on my channel and that will show you what i mean.
Thank you sweetie , too small but never mind , it was a great video , you do challenge us older ladies to shop in shops I never previously looked at , currently wearing a Zara blouse you showed la st summer when you twinned with someone in my size 14 And had 2 compliments today ! Thank you , always interesting to watch !
As many pointed, you make much more for those clothes than the very sites. These brands should actually pay you ! It would be super helpful if you could go shopping with a bigger lady, just to show how the styles would look and still work on a curvy lady… 🤩 Maybe one day ?
I’ve done a lot of these in my studio as part of the body shape masterclasses series where I dress women of all different sizes live on the channel. I’ve also been shopping with Vlare who is a size 14 but she’s the largest dress size in my team I’m afraid 😳
@@mmpersonalstyling Not having anyone in a bigger size than 14 in your team is a very good reason indeed ! Would have loved to see it though… But I’ve watched the masterclasses and they were super useful 🤩
How do you look so amazing in everything 😃. Dresses always fit your height so well, if I add on the 5 or so extra inches I am then the dresses would be a horrible length. Your try ons also show that clothing is so irratically sized that no wonder I send back 99% of everything I buy. It has to get better, such a waste and environmental impact to have to return things. Accurate widths and lengths of items need to be shown for every item online, I know even the same sizes of the same item can differ in measurement but at least it would give us a fighting chance! Look forward to the next one x
Hi, can anyone point me in the direction of the vented account I have looked several times and can't find it. Thanks a lot. I enjoy these videos and always get lots of ideas thanks for all your hard work
I echo what you say about buying early but this went live just 3 hours ago and sadly the beige H&M wide legs are already completely out of stock in every size!
Enchanted :-). Extremely enchanted video :-). Well done Melissa :-). Hello there Melissa just to let you know its me Foxy from Brighton in East Sussex in England the United Kingdom since we're both located in the United Kingdom and excuse me making the comments on a different account as this account is a youtube channel I run for my cats Daphne and Nyxie as Daphne and Nyxie are my cats just to say and I run a separate channel for them just to say as whenever I recently commented on your recent videos on my other account, the comments were hardly visible whenever I logged out of my account and didn't know whether or not you had received them or not or whether I had done something wrong or said something wrong. If I did say anything wrong to you previously or done anything wrong to you previously Melissa then I am extremely sorry :-(. All I mean is good and if I did cause anything bad to you I am most extremely sorry if I dare issue out my most utmost apologies as I can always make firm amends. But if I dare point out Melissa, thanks indeed for sharing this wonderful video of your spring styles it was certainly most interesting and fascinating I do say :-). I do wish I could have watched this before I started watching this which was only about 30 or so minutes ago something like that as I went out for a Sunday lunch and a few glasses of wine which was most satisfactory indeed :-). Thanks indeed for sharing this Melissa and if I did cause you any trouble in the past or said anything wrong I am extremely sorry and will make any firm amends necessary. Take care and many happy wishes Melissa :-D :-D :-). Sending hugs and kisses :-D :-D :-). From your friend Foxy in Brighton, East Sussex, England, UK xoxox :-D :-D :-).
Thank you to all the lovely ladies that called this person out. To you ‘Rum Do’, my mum always taught me that if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all - you gain nothing from it other than hurting others.

Ohhhh that amazing double denim from Zara with bow at neck was so stunning on you.Pearl bracelet gorgeous.As usual...anything M&S is so classic and stylish.Love the safari looks...we do that for real in South Africa😉😁
Loved this one! As a newly retired person, I struggle with looking put together in retirement. I tend to buy classic pieces that can be worn for years. There were many really nice bits in this vid. Now to head out to find similar in Cdn stores. Looking forward to the Amazon vid.
Most of the stores used are available internationally (M&S, H&M, the white company) so if you follow the links you should get the exact items. X
I have some simple crewneck sweaters and open cardigans from Amazon Essentials and they are staple pieces in my wardrobe. They have worn well, haven’t pilled or faded, easy care and the fibers (cotton/polyester/nylon blends) feel great.
Thanks for sharing!!
Oh god I just love these videos!! Just going to the store and show us how items look on you is just the best. Some items I find horrible online but look so nice on! ❤
Glad you like them!
Dear Melissa
Thank you for another great video. I have ordered the M&S stripe shirt, the pink floral blouse and then the body and linen shorts from h&m. I think the tops will be nice with the Reiss navy trousers from your previous video with your lovely make up artist friend.
Sorry to Jo in advance for asking for another link but would you possibly have the link or just the style code/name for the very first pair of trousers before the tailored ones please. No worries if not.
How nice to see lots of spring colours.
Have a lovely week ahead and hope Monty finds lots of chairs to rest his head on 🥰

I think I have found the trousers…’tapered linen blend’ possibly.
Thanks Melissa. I love your classic style. I went to Moonsift to have a look, my goodness you would never pick anything from the way that they are modeled! Everything that looked so good on you looked quite terrible in the picture. For an online shopper from rural Australia this makes it very difficult. Thanks for this compilation It makes choosing so much easier.
So glad! X
Thank you Melissa you are always great inspiration xxx❤ adore those looks totally my style
All of the things you have selected are exactly what I would like to buy. Off to check the links now. Many thanks.
This is my absolute favorite video of yours. I love all the casual outfits. Wish I could buy a black linen blazer and the brown handbag with the wide strap. I'm in Texas
Reall enjoyed this but wish you would take some one taller with you to try on for the taller ladies im 5ft 7 xx
Hi! I loved the outfit with the black joggers with the ankle zip and sand colored v-neck teeshirt, but couldn't find it on the link...did I miss something? Could you please link both those items as I loved them both! thanks!
If they’re not linked it means we couldn’t link them because they either weren’t available online (store only) or, sold out. That’s why we link similar items further down the page.
Fabulous Selections so helpful thank you Melissa 💃💛
You are so welcome!
I'm convinced that you look great in everything.
Trust me, it’s all down to good lighting and picking the right items for your shape!
Great Video!❤Thanks Melissa🥰😘
Thanks for watching!
great video, i can buy a few things and style them with my existing wardrobe pieces! Thankyou x
Perfect!
I love the brown bag ❤
I brought that and they have a service whereby they will sew your initials into the strap for £2 so I got that done!
O my goodness just like to say u looked amazing everything u have a amazing figure thank u so much for all your hard work u make everything look beautiful well done love your videos Jackie uk 😊
Thank you so much but it’s only because I pick things that suit my shape!
As usual loved every outfit Melissa. As others have mentioned you look better in the clothes than the models! I've got last year's M&S white leather trainers with the nude colour suede detail. They are so comfy aren't they and go with just about anything.
Looking at the Zara and H&M websites, I wouldn't have bought anything so it's a real eye opener. Looking forward to the amazon haul.
I just bought that little cropped soft jacket in the blue. I absolutely love it. It is my first ever purchase from Zara! Going to look for that cute white cropped blouse next.
Brilliant video.
Great video! What size did you purchase in the brown wool zara bomber you are wearing in the introduction and the zara tie neck denim blouse? I'm a true size 10, what sizes would you recommend in these styles? Thank you😊
Mine is a size large and I’m an 8-10 x
Hi Melissa.. the white dress from zara, was that a small? Thanks a mil.
Yes it was!
Any suggestions on where to get a linen style blouse, I am a 38 bust but am only 5ftso I am left with loose material oversize at the bottom.and they still pull I have tried Marks and Spencer the number I have ought and returned.
Rather than trying to find out that fits, wear it open with a top underneath. X
Loved this and I am really surprised by M&S, really great pieces xx
Lovely as always and you look fab in all of them. Wish I looked half as good in them. Look forward to your Sunday uploads. Will you be doing one for summer- I go away to a tropical country every year in January and buy my clothes for my trip in the summer? Thanks
Definitely, as soon as the summer clothes hit our shops I’ll do one. It’s freezing here right now though!!
Hi Melissa. Fantastic video as always! The separate links for the H&M linen mix blazer & shorts seem to be two different colours? Not sure if I’m just not seeing it! 🥴
They do slightly but I’ve checked the codes and that’s what we tried on x
Hi I love these items, in your introduction you have a bomber jacket from Zara which I love what size are you wearing as I’m around same height size as you thank you xx
I don't think they have it in stock any more but mine is a size large as the bombers tend to come up really small and I like the looser fit.
Loving your videos. I'd love to see ideas for apple shape who wears skirts and tops. A tight top under a jacket isn't that flattering at best but esp if it gets warm and the jacket is taken off. Looking forward to your future videos. ❤
I’d have to disagree to be honest, the tighter tops underneath layers are exactly what you need as the larger tops will accentuate your apple shape. I do appreciate that this is hard to picture when your torso is your troubled area so can I suggest you watch all of the apple stomach videos that I’ve filmed as part of the body shape master class series where I dress women of all different shapes and sizes live on the channel? Here’s a couple of links: ruclips.net/video/yBx40E7URcY/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/h6nE6mee-Ms/видео.html
@@mmpersonalstyling not sure if you can see this, but thanks so much for your prompt reply. The tighter tops just show cellulite and rolls, esp if I have to remove a layer...I doubt I'm in the 'oh-so-cold' but also 'I'm overheating' age bracket 🙈
I've watched these videos numerous times already👍💔
Great video giving some great advice. You look fab in everything. As a mid forties mum I feel I've lost my style and interest in cloths. Watching your videos makes me want to go try some of these pieces. I find clothed sizing hard and frustrating which massively puts me off I can be size 10 in one shop and 14 in another. Xx
Tell me about it! My job would be a hell of a lot easier if there was standardisation of sizes but unfortunately it's not the case. I'd suggest finding a couple of brand you like then sticking with their sizing to buy more items online.
I feel the same way. I lost fifteen pounds, and I can be a medium or a large and in one style of joggers I needed a small…no way I am a small. Vanity sizing does is no good. I think Melissa is wonderful. I can not afford to buy a lot as something happened to us that cost us a lot of money…and it should not have happened. Good luck in finding proper size.
@@ritastutler1470 well done on your weight loss. I find I now buy less clothing than ever but what I do buy is of good quality and I can use in several outfits.
@@Winn-ing Yes me too..have to love it, know I will wear it and has to fit well…unless it is something I can fix. I bought a Calvin Klein midi skirt that is real different for five dollars. I go to estate sales…blazers don’t change much and can get items made in US usually less than six dollars. Watch Mellisa and Erin Busbee. It has helped me get back into fashion and my husband said my clothes look better since watching them. Melissa did one not to long ago on mistakes you make with fashion ..something like that…best video ever. When we had older foster sons…four at a time sometimes I lived in tee shirts and bike shorts..so different seasons in our lives affect us. We bought them stuff..like Nike that they never had. It made us happier than buying for ourselves.
I’m in US and loved the cream sweater with blue stripes but didn’t see it on the links?
That’s because it wasn’t available to link in America, sorry.
Love your videos.. could you please do a colored capsule wardrobe video.. maybe pastels?
You’d insert your pastel colours after you’ve got your basics sorted so all you need to do is substitute one of the accent colours used here for your chosen pastel colour.
I need some of that MV jewellery x
Thank you Melissa and team for another great video. Could I ask if you bought the M & S straight leg ripped jeans in size 10 short or regular as I am the same height as you. xx
They were a short x
Hello there Melissa :-). I hope this isn't too much asking you this but what does a clothes size 8 UK equate to in waist size if I could dare ask? Why I ask is because the only size I really pay attention to for trousers is the waist inch size and the inseam leg length. As I take a 30 inch trouser waist and a roughly either 30 or 31 inseam something like that if I could dare point out. I really hope this questioning wasn't too much for you Melissa but I'm curious to find out xx :-/ :-).
Great video! Lots of good ideas and the clothes look so great on you. Can you tell me where you purchased the brown jacket you wore in the intro?
Everything is always linked for you in the description box. Think that one was from Zara though…
Just found you and I really identify myself! Love from a Swede in Spain!
Welcome aboard!
Hello Melissa and thank you Very Much for your videos that are so helpful to radically change my way of clothing! You are the only youtube blogger who really does give realistic advice and share tips that really work! Could you please write me what size you were wearing for the Zara white shirt with embroidery and Zara jeans shirt? Thank you
Thank you. Zara shirt was a small and jeans are a uk 8.
Thank you!
New subscriber, love everything on you, all styled beautifully, just so disappointed in the high street that so much polyester is used, much prefer natural fabrics especially in summer. Though the 100% cotton jacket from m&s is fabulous in 100% cotton.
Thank you and welcome!
Great shop up, really enjoyed the content and found it very useful ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful video Melissa! What size were you wearing for the last blazer, navy linen from M&S? Thanks :)
A size 12.
@@mmpersonalstyling Thanks!
Really enjoy watching these videos. Thank you! Love your samples. Did I somehow miss your upload last week or didn’t you upload one?
No video last week but there will be videos for the next 2/3 weeks. Sometimes I’m just too busy with private clients or the teaching school so I aim to do 3 per month. I do quite a bit over on Instagram though. X
@@mmpersonalstyling thank you. Not surprised… they take a lot of time to make but we all love them! Will try to check out the Instagram too. X
Beautiful clothes your amazing
Glad you like them!
Some great pieces!!!
Thank you!!
Hiya. Great video, thank you.
What is ur name on vinted so I can have a nosey through the clothes u've put on please? Tried all the obvious names and can't fine you. X
Melissa did mention her vinted name which I’ve now forgotten, but I’m new to vinted and couldn’t find her.
Go to vinted.co.uk, search under ‘members’ and type in MMStyling - I should come up. There’s also a link in the description box
Look for MMStyling on vinted.co.uk under the ‘members’ section.
Brilliant, found you. Thank u. X
1121 Melissa so look forward to every one of your videos! I’m on the second run through now. ❤
Oh my, you’ll be sick of my face soon!!! Thank you though, I do appreciate it x
Great video- so much nice stuff. Love a bootcut jean but can’t do Double Denim😱
I’m having trouble following the link for the striped sweater from the white store. I can’t find it on their website either. Any ideas?
It’s sold out now so the link won’t work, sorry!
Love this! anytips on how to style flared leggings? I got a pair and love they way they make my legs look, but want to elevate the yoga look. w/o showing so much skin
It depends on your shape and whether you need to broaden your top half or not…. I wear a hoodie with mine.
I’m a pear and have been led to believe I can ONLY wear dark bottoms. With summer coming, is there any trick I could use so I could wear a lighter bottom? I’d love something in a line blend because the humidity here in eastern Canada is brutal. Thank you!
Forget what you’ve been told! If you’re a pear shape (same as me), you don’t need to worry about the bottoms - I’m afraid you can’t do anything instantly about your shape HOWEVER, you can very easily (and instantly) do something about balancing our your shape by increasing the width of your shoulders. This will make your hips/thighs look smaller than any dark pair of trousers will. Have a watch of my body shape master class videos where I’ve dressed several pear shaped women of different sizes live on the channel.
@@mmpersonalstyling I know exactly what you mean and I do have shoulder pads because of your videos so if that is the trompe l’œil that will allow me to expand my wardrobe and stay cool this summer, I’m forever grateful that you answered me. Thank you SO much! 🇨🇦
@@mmpersonalstyling Thank you SO much for addressing my question. I just love everything about your channel and how you teach us with heart. Have a wonderful day…
Loved ALL the looks!!! 🎉
Thanks so much 😊
Chaotic sizing really puts me off buying online. Manufacturers either need to standardise or provide very detailed measurements on their websites.
I totally agree but to be honest, even the ones that do provide measurements they're often not accurate with a 5-10% tolerance provided. Very frustrating!
I'm new to this channel but love your styling tips and wardrobe ideas. I was feeling a bit lost with my style as I have given up 'dressing for the office' and now run my own business dog walking & boarding, so my work clothes are leggings & sports top to cope with the mud, rain & dog hair. No thought required dressing anymore for work !
I mostly wear jeans after work but was a bit unsure of what to wear as I get older, being short, curvy & booby. Your tip to wear tighter tops underneath is great. It works well. You might even persuade me to buy a blazer. Could you do a video on styling the "older" in age but young at heart woman? I'm 61 & doubting what suits me anymore especially as I don't need 'dressy' work clothes, I need more a casual wardrobe now. I love bright colours but feel I might look better adding a few neutrals now but don't want to look washed out going too beige. What basics would you suggest to start with?
First of all, welcome and thank you for watching! This is Melissa here, I answer all my own comments. I have done many videos where you can watch me styling women of all ages (including ladies in their 60’s)) live on the channel but I’ve actually done one in parts which might resonate as I styled my dog walker for her job and casual lifestyle only a couple of weeks ago. Here’s the link for it. ruclips.net/video/1gXGicyiUwQ/видео.html
@@mmpersonalstyling Brilliant. Thanks. I'm new so no had chance to watch much. I will check it out. I bought a couple of Zara things today. An dark cream silky blouse, black jeans, and striped thin cream & black jumper. I would never have thought to wear them without your video. Thanks again
Great video but I do notice you choose a lot of cream/ beige items which do not suit those of us with a cool skin tone! You do give me plenty of ideas and tips tho xx
Just swap up the neutrals for shades of whites that do suit you….
No link to the denim shirt 😢
The Zara one isn’t online, that’s why. If ever there’s something missing it’s either because it’s not online so I store only or, it’s sold out. We do put similar items on the board if this is the case. X
Thank you Melissa for another great video! As always you style each piece and give lots of ideas for outfits. It’s becoming a habit of mine to treat myself to one piece from each of your videos and I think it’s gonna be that cute blouse from M&S! 😍💕 (last time was makeup recommendation from Hannah, and time before Boden jumper, I got in the red and green!!) oh and loved seeing Jo in the video too, great job ladies! ☺️
You are so welcome!
Hi Melissa I'm a new sub enjoying your channel. Do you have any recommendations for light work cardigans? I'm in the Caribbean where its warm most of the times so jackets will not work for me.
Mango do a great one, try there.
@@mmpersonalstyling thank you🤞
How do we find your items on vinted?
You follow the link inn the description box or, search under ‘members’ and type in MMStyling
Where is the bomber jacket from?
Not sure which one you’re referring to but everything is linked for you in the description box.
@@mmpersonalstyling The one you have on at the beginning. The one on the link is a different style
Oh how that long navy dress in a White Company is absolutely beautiful on you but sadly at 5’9 size 12 it was too high waisted for me plus couldn’t try the next size up as it wasn’t available online. So many dresses are too high cut in the waist, why can’t they vary the style of dresses to suit all frames? 😢 So disappointing.
Try ‘long’ versions from NEXT in their tall range x
Love these shopping videos ❤️ what’s your view on jackets and shirts with breast pockets if you are larger up top?
It's not the top you need to worry about, it's the bottom half. So in theory pockets would add some extra volume to the bust but that doesn't matter as long as you're balancing out your top half by wearing something more widening on the bottom half. Even if you wore a top without the pockets, your bust would still make you look top heavy. Concentrate on getting the bottom half right first, then you can wear most things on top. Have a look at my body shape master class series where i've dressed several top heavy ladies live on my channel and that will show you what i mean.
@@mmpersonalstyling thank you so much, appreciate it!
Hi, love your videos. Just a remark: The US links for Marks and Spencer belong to Israel not to the US.
That’s strange, they’re landing on the US website for us! You can just change your location and you’ll still get to the item.
Where can I find your Vinted page please ? And are they all small sizes ? 😂
You just go to www.vinted.co.uk and look up MMstyling , most of the items are a size 8-12
Thank you sweetie , too small but never mind , it was a great video , you do challenge us older ladies to shop in shops I never previously looked at , currently wearing a Zara blouse you showed la st summer when you twinned with someone in my size 14 And had 2 compliments today !
Thank you , always interesting to watch !
As many pointed, you make much more for those clothes than the very sites. These brands should actually pay you !
It would be super helpful if you could go shopping with a bigger lady, just to show how the styles would look and still work on a curvy lady… 🤩 Maybe one day ?
I’ve done a lot of these in my studio as part of the body shape masterclasses series where I dress women of all different sizes live on the channel. I’ve also been shopping with Vlare who is a size 14 but she’s the largest dress size in my team I’m afraid 😳
@@mmpersonalstyling Not having anyone in a bigger size than 14 in your team is a very good reason indeed ! Would have loved to see it though… But I’ve watched the masterclasses and they were super useful 🤩
Some lovely outfits 🙂 I think again I need to go shopping 😂, husband not going to be happy 😆
My top tip - never take them with you!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Is your Vinted account deleted? I can't access the link or find you via search.
No, it’s still there. Here’s the link www.vinted.co.uk/member/130554437-mmstyling
How do you look so amazing in everything 😃. Dresses always fit your height so well, if I add on the 5 or so extra inches I am then the dresses would be a horrible length. Your try ons also show that clothing is so irratically sized that no wonder I send back 99% of everything I buy. It has to get better, such a waste and environmental impact to have to return things. Accurate widths and lengths of items need to be shown for every item online, I know even the same sizes of the same item can differ in measurement but at least it would give us a fighting chance! Look forward to the next one x
I totally agree about the sizes, it makes it incredibly difficult for everyone.
What size is the hnm stripe shirt
Size medium
Hi, can anyone point me in the direction of the vented account I have looked several times and can't find it. Thanks a lot. I enjoy these videos and always get lots of ideas thanks for all your hard work
The link is In the description box but here it is again www.vinted.co.uk/member/130554437-mmstyling
@MM Personal Styling thanks so much for speedy reply
The link just takes us to the home page of vînted, not to yours specifically!
I echo what you say about buying early but this went live just 3 hours ago and sadly the beige H&M wide legs are already completely out of stock in every size!
Yes, sorry, I wish I could influence stock levels but I can’t! I can see that so far 4503 people have followed the links in that time. Sorry!
Enchanted :-). Extremely enchanted video :-). Well done Melissa :-). Hello there Melissa just to let you know its me Foxy from Brighton in East Sussex in England the United Kingdom since we're both located in the United Kingdom and excuse me making the comments on a different account as this account is a youtube channel I run for my cats Daphne and Nyxie as Daphne and Nyxie are my cats just to say and I run a separate channel for them just to say as whenever I recently commented on your recent videos on my other account, the comments were hardly visible whenever I logged out of my account and didn't know whether or not you had received them or not or whether I had done something wrong or said something wrong. If I did say anything wrong to you previously or done anything wrong to you previously Melissa then I am extremely sorry :-(. All I mean is good and if I did cause anything bad to you I am most extremely sorry if I dare issue out my most utmost apologies as I can always make firm amends. But if I dare point out Melissa, thanks indeed for sharing this wonderful video of your spring styles it was certainly most interesting and fascinating I do say :-). I do wish I could have watched this before I started watching this which was only about 30 or so minutes ago something like that as I went out for a Sunday lunch and a few glasses of wine which was most satisfactory indeed :-). Thanks indeed for sharing this Melissa and if I did cause you any trouble in the past or said anything wrong I am extremely sorry and will make any firm amends necessary. Take care and many happy wishes Melissa :-D :-D :-). Sending hugs and kisses :-D :-D :-).
From your friend Foxy in Brighton, East Sussex, England, UK xoxox :-D :-D :-).
?
Oh, hello there uhhh Fran :-). Is anything alright? :-).
💕🇸🇪
You showed the wide leg trousers but hardly showed the lower leg! 👎but even so I did appreciate that you showed the tops pretty well! Thank you
Noted!
Like the comments below I like everything on you and not in the pictures :)
First time at your site. I find the background music intrusive and totally unnecessary
Welcome - thank you for your nice comments!!! You do know thats the background music in the shops, something I can't do anything about?
A variety of adjectives rather than ‘nice’ or ‘really nice’ would be good
Personally I’m just happy to see a new video. It’s hard to get everything perfect 🤷♀️
Well that's really nice isn't it 😂
Really? That’s an issue? She does such an amazing job for us…so glad I found her!
Oh dear , always one Debbie Downer ! I’m sure you know the saying .” If you can’t say anything nice , say nothing ? “
Thank you to all the lovely ladies that called this person out. To you ‘Rum Do’, my mum always taught me that if you don’t have anything nice to say then don’t say anything at all - you gain nothing from it other than hurting others.
