I’ve just started on this journey, I was the typical “wardrobe full of clothes and nothing to wear”. I love having my wish list and then deciding what to buy from it next - I think it’s that psychological thing of wanting something, waiting for it and then finally getting it. You do appreciate it more I think and therefore look after it better! It reminds me of being a teenager and that feeling you would get when you’d finally saved up enough to buy that top you’d been eyeing up in Miss Selfridges for weeks 😂😂😂😂
It’s so important to think about your wardrobe holistically. If you buy a new lamp for a room, you don’t just grab the first lamp you think is cute, you have to consider whether or not it will work with the room you want to put it in, whether it goes with your style, whether there’s a real need for it, etc. We need to do this with our clothes, too, and that’s how you can avoid “tons of clothes but nothing to wear” syndrome.
Love this lamp analogy; so true. It really does come down to being thoughtful & deliberate with great consideration for whether the item plays well with other items in your current wardrobe, fits ones lifestyle, fits well, high quality etc. I’ve made far too many impulse buys & it absolutely creates chaos.
I’m obsessed with these videos and I can’t wait to see more! I feel like I’m taking your masterclass on style. Working on building my dream wardrobe now using your tips!
I found this so helpful! Process seems more streamlined than other videos/blogs I’ve seen. Going into my mid-30s I feel like I need a totally closet re-haul to rid myself of trends. Still pieces I’ve had trouble letting go since they’re good quality but find them not fitting into the style I’m developing as I get older and settled into my career/lifestyle. Thank you for the help! If you have a follow-up video about any of these steps - that would be great!
Thank you for your candor, humor, positivity and genuineness! I happened upon your videos and have learned so much. As another person mentioned, I’ve got a closet filled with clothes but nothing to wear. After listening to your counsel, it’s as if a light went off and I am so grateful! I have a direction now and eager to pursue a better way of shopping and dressing even at 64 years old. All the best to you!
I needed mules and I decided for once to try n see if I can get new ones. The leather ones were about R800 on sale and plastic one R400 which tbqh way over what I could afford. Just went to my favourite thrift place n came back with 3 good leather pairs for R240. What was interesting for me was that I never knew I needed them to start with until I couldn't wear closed shoes due to hurting toes.
I have more of less been following those steps since the first lockdown. I'm slowly building my new wardrobe with versatile pieces and having fun mixing and matching them in a different way. I personally love using Shoptagr for my wish list items and I've been keeping a wish list on Evernote so as to not stray from there. I have put myself a budget for Black Friday and I'm waiting for those discount codes to come through. The blazer you showed from Mango has been on my wish list for a while now but it's sold out. I'm also thinking about the taupe blazer you were tweaking for your collab with some brand and I'm not sure which I like best. I really don't need that many blazers, I have a black one from Zara and I recently bought one at a discount from Everlane in a gorgeous earthy tone. On the other hand, however, I have extremely sensitive skin regarding jumpers. I can't stand wool and I hate wearing synthetic materials so I don't have many options for the colder months. I'm thinking blazers are a great alternative and look so chic and put together. I will try alpaca, though, like you mentioned in another video. I tried cashmere last year but I still find it very itchy and it drives me crazy. It's weird but I'm saving more money now that I'm purchasing more quality items than I used to when shopping sloppy garments just because they were on sale or were extremely affordable. It's like my mindset has been altered and my habits have changed and affected other aspects of my life as well, in a very positive way.
Thanks for another great vid, Em. You look incredible with the darker (natural?) hair color, it makes your skin look like porcelain and your beautiful eyes just sparkle. I hope you will keep it this way, I love it. The world is full of bleached-blonds, dare to be your unique, stunning self!
Thanks Emma, I like your style so much, and you have been very much my inspiration on my capsual wardrobe. Very much agree to spend that bit more on the pieces you know you can wear over and over, which I very much do so on my classical pieces. I'm a bit older than you, 54😀, yes old enough to be your mum, but i have learnt so much from you. I would just like to add from my own mistakes, dont splash out on those items that are in for a season, that you know you most probably won't be wearing next year. I usually by the bulk of my wardrobe at mid to high end from the high street, but those one hit wonders i sometimes dip into, i go lower end. For those youngsters out there, listen to Emma those high end staple classical pieces will last a long long time. I wish I had started that 20 plus years ago, I would now have a wardrobe full of some vintage beuaties 🥰😍
That is fantastic! My daughter has on more than one occasion said "mum I wish you had some of your old clothes that I could wear" I loved the 80s. Thats the thing with Emma's style, it suits all ages, gives you a great base to tweak to your own style. Its nice to see that us older ladies are still enjoying fashion, we are not ready for the elasticated waistbands and velcro shoes just yet 😊 Happy shopping! 😀
Hey Emma, it’s so good to have you back full power, girl ! Finally, You have been actively posting videos on RUclips. Now, I have no more need to check other RUclipsrs. Because my EMMA is back 💕 🤗 ✌️ 🙏 🎈 😊
When I turned 60 earlier this year, I no longer liked my 20+ year Boho style (still very popular where I live in California), and wanted a more classic wardrobe. I lost three sizes the previous year, so I had to replace my wardrobe anyway; most alterations are not feasible for such a big change. (I was able to take in some simpler pants and skirts.) I have been gradually rebuilding from scratch, and am preparing to sell online the better-quality and more-desirable items from my previous wardrobe, and gift or donate the others. I don’t donate or keep anything that isn’t in very good, wearable condition, but recycle these slightly faded, etc., items. So, I’m holding these until H&M reopens its garment/fiber recycling program after the pandemic. I find your tips for re-gearing a wardrobe very helpful! I’m almost excited to see a new video from you!
Oh another request please. Can you make a video on the different materials, their pros and cons, what material is better for each season, why you don't buy certain materials (like polyester), tips on how identify quality (because sometimes more expensive doesn't mean better quality), etc? I've never paid attention to material before and now that I am I'm so confused on what's better and why (especially man-made fibers). Thank you!!!! xx
love love love your videos! I also pursue the same thing about fashion with you. Not only the color palettes, but sustainability of fashion. I try to buy less or buy things that will last longer, be conscious of purchases, no impulse purchasing etc. I love seeing you mix and match in many different ways, play with colors i love. (i don't mean that I wouldn't like your unboxing hauls, I can't wait to see them again!) you're so inspirational 😍❤
I really love the direction you’ve taken your channel. This video came at just the right time, I’m in this transition right now and it’s helped with my motivation and the steps are solid. Thank you!
While I love the idea behind this video, and generally the tips are good, one aspect that seems to be missing - practicality and what it is that a person actually wears. If I look at my pins/what I save you would think I wear heels everyday, while I havent worn them in a year 😅 keep in mind what it is you actually wear and not buy clothes for your “fantasy self”
GREAT & VITAL ADVICE!! Don’t buy clothing/accessories based on someone else’s lifestyle that has no reflection of your own: buying for your “fantasy self” esp with social media constantly in your face which often has us creating an image in our mind of some person we want to be & then an urge to buy things completely incongruous with our real lifestyle. I’m so guilty & it’s such a waste in ALL ways. Brings great guilt.
I will go through my wardrobe later and finally get rid of things that are no longer me. Pretty or not, they need to go. Thinking about it, I haven’t aggressively gone through my wardrobe to fit my style in 5 years and this although I found it so freeing back then. Bit annoying that I will have to do it again in the summer tho. Meh. Thanks as always for the video and inspo Emma!
Thank you for this Emma. Sending you and Simon love and well wishes throughout this time. Your videos are an escape for me so I wanted to tell you how much it means to me that you are uploading regularly 🦋💕 happy Sunday! 😌🥰🕊
Hi emma, started watching your videos yesterday. I'm getting addicted already. I feel you give really good advice. Love everything you show and your so down to earth. I'm 61 but like to dress a lot younger. Already started using all you tips. Thank you so much, Lesley 😁
Thank you Emma for doing what you do. I am in the process of reinventing (or rather, figuring out) my style. I'm not sure whether it's quarantine, your inspirational videos, or what that sparked this new obsession with fashion and style but I'm loving it. I've always been a "buy whatever fits" or "buy first thing that catches my eye" kinda girl and I'm very easily influenced by others (mom, hubby, etc) who suggest I buy something. I'm loving the slow process of slowly but surely building a wardrobe that's more "me". The thought that goes into it is truly rewarding. I'm excited for your future content as they are all things I need guidance on at the moment, namely: 1. Best brands for each category (knitwear (which you've already done), jeans (you have old videos on those), dresses, blazers, jewelry (Missoma, I know lol), etc. 2. Tips on how to buy 2nd hand/vintage (you already have content on this but would love to see more as I am such a novice) 3. How to figure out your style. I find that I'm definitely gravitating towards particular styles but also I realise that I don't want to box myself into one style. How to incorporate different styles into your personal one without getting overwhelmed or including so different styles that you no longer have a cohesive clear style that it becomes a mess of everything. 4. All the different digital tools you use and their respective purposes (pinterest, vestiaire, depop, etc) 5. More skincare and beauty if possible! 6. More tips and tricks on how to cleanse your wardrobe (I know that you mentioned a few already (lifestyle, kids, pets, etc)) but I find myself having a hard time letting go of things (especially pricier items). Tips on how to decide what needs to go and sticking with it. Thank you beautiful Emma. You're my favourite style guru ever and I appreciate everything that you do for us x
For point 1 I'd especially love your recommendations for basics. I love your basic tee's! Sorry for all the requests, but I've just started my journey and you've been my saint helping me through it! xx
Another great video thanks Emma.. perfect timing as weight loss and hitting a certain time of life has made me reassess my style and wardrobe so this will be a great help 👍❤️
Hi Emma, thank you so much for this video and for all of the content you put out there for us, especially at times like this. Your calming videos help me a lot throughout quarantine and that means the world to me. Your style, not only in fashion but in life as well (your approach) inspires me so much. Thank you for everything 🙏🏼 And if you’re looking for new ideas- I (and I’m sure many others) will REALLY love to see a “day in my life” or just parts of your day, to get to know you better and to see what do you do to achieve all that you have. I hope it makes sense, I’m sorry for my not so good English haha, much love from Israel❤️❤️
Thank you for this video, it could not have come at a more perfect time. The weather just turned more autumn like and I need to do a wardrobe switch over. I feel like it will be different this year with staying at home so much. I literally only go out about once a week, so jackets, boots and handbags will barely get used. But I need outfits that look good during Zoom meetings, and of course, lots of comfortable casual clothes. Please do more videos on what to wear at home and how to keep your sense of style during these times.
Hi, need help to tap into fashion tips for (1) different body type (2) different climate I really like ur style, using blazer, jeans & stuffs, but my body is pear shaped & i live in a tropical climate, so sometimes its not that suitable for my life style & body shape lol Thanks anyway, love from Indonesia
Thanks so much for another new video. I do hope you, Simon and your fur babies are staying sane, healthy and strong during lockdown 2.0. Hope you may find joy in everything you do, even if its something so simple. xoxo
I hate to admit it but I'm at an age where I feel like I need to question what I buy/wear as I don't want it to feel too young for me. I've recently turned 45, I don't think I look it but I def don't look 25! 🤣 I have a casual style with a neutral colour palette but I'm quite drawn to the chunky biker boots. Are there any other mid 40's girls who happily rock these kinda boots? Should I go for it? X
I'm 41 and Dr martens are a staple of mine, I have several pairs including the "Jadon Max" which are the epitome of chunky biker boots lol, go for it!!
As a 52yr old, I too, have been drawn to the chunky boot!! Sadly my legs are too short and dare I say muscular to rock the Arket chunkies that Emma favours, but found Massimo Dutti Chelseas work well. Bit more streamline but decent tread and furry lining! Go for it!
Thank you ladies, I'll go for it then! I guess it's just about getting the right style of biker boot. I feel you with the leg situation too, mine are as I would describe the boots - short and chunky 😂 x
Just stumbled across your channel and love your videos. This one in particular really helped me and I realised I had already inadvertently done steps 1 and 2! Thanks :)
Thank you Emma dogs have been out, coffee in hand back to bed to focus on this follow on video from last Sunday thank you for continuing to put out informed inspirational content
great video Emma and have a lovely sunday x . I love selling my clothes on ebay after a wardrobe reshuffle and then searching for things that are ' none trend or this season ' but things i will love adding to my wardrobe .
as I’m starting my 9th month of pregnancy, I can tell you that I can’t wait to get my ore-pregnancy body back and rebuild indeed my wardrobe, because I changed a lot in 9 months, I feel different and now my new style would have to be breastfeeding friendly and baby friendly. Thank you for the last 2 videos ! Inspiring !
Great overview!! After loosing a lot of weight during lockdown, I need a whole new wardrobe! I’m at the start of this process right now. Looking forward to more tips and insights!
Here in California we are still in our first lockdown that started in March :( Sorry that you will be joining us again! During lockdown I've definitely lost my sense of style but I am going to start with step 1 and make a Pinterest moodboard to look forward to wearing next year (fingers crossed).
I’m about to start doing this so thanks for the video I feel for you guys in lockdown I’m in the central belt in Scotland not in lockdown yet but may be coming xx
Hi Emma! Love your videos! And thank you for this one! About your tip on selling the clothes... I would really like to do it, but the issue is that I get overwelmed and confused once I start to think/plan about ways of doing it online... What do you suggest? Do you have a specific platform of your preference? If you could make a video with some suggestions/tips to sell our clothes online, it would be perfect! 👌Once again, thanks for the video and lots of kisses from Portugal! 😊
I mainly use depop as I find it fairly straightforward and easy but I will also use Vestiaire/Ebay depending on the item. I do go into some more tips in this video ruclips.net/video/ZG4XNGCVvn4/видео.html but will likely also be updating it soon too with another ❤️
Love this, and it’s true your mood can change so often and I’ll often go in and out of Pinterest and delete things. All these tips are so useful. I’m just going to come out and say it. If you wrote a book with all your fashion and styling tips and tricks etc it would be a smash. Just saying 🙊📖✏️
Me gusta mucho tu estilo y aunque no hablo inglés me encanta ver tus videos, dan mucha inspiración, con tu estilo elegante sofisticado pero nada complicado.
Hi from Georgina (on hubby's iPad) I'm saving up for one of your blazer's and I won £5 on the lottery last night whoo hoo.I shall try to do a wardrobe sort during lockdown. Hubby and I dressed up for dinner at home for our wedding anniversary.I try and purchase things from charity shops and I donate a lot too! I love your style advice,thank you.
I've become pretty obsessed with ebay recently 🤣 as much as I love the opy (here in Queensland, Aus we've been back up and running for a few months now) I find with ebay you can find those amazing statement items more easily. Plus the algorithm sees what you like and makes further suggested searches 😳😳😳 maybe not the best if you're looking to save your coin though. Thinking of you all in lock down right now 😖💖
Thank you for this video. How do you suggest we start classifying the boards? What is more useful? I started with casual and smart but quickly realized that wouldn't work for me as I work in a creative industry. Thank you
It would really depend on the style you are aiming to achieve, although there is no reason you couldn't have two or three for different styles/occasions (ie. work, home, etc.) If you can't have a style that fits all, then take aspects that you like and fit them into each board. For example work on your home style and then take the aspects that you like from there that can be used for work and add them into the work board, adapting them as required to suit the need 👍
I tend to separate mine into 2 - the mood board is general images that give me inspiration but may not necessarily want to buy (although some may be pieces similar to what I am after) and then I have my Wishlist which is the pieces that I want to buy. 👍
I'm really not (anymore for i don't know maybe 6 to 7y) for or buying fastfashion. But i do buy for hubby his tshirts in hm (the regulair fit with v-neck bc he likes them and i must say they go for a couple of years) and for loungewear (sweatpants & hoodies) i shop there 1 a year and still i go only when its needed, bc for excample: i have a frenchie & there are moments he drools a lot so my pants are fast dirty. So i just can not comite or invest myself to buy a better quality sweatpants. So in that aspect i go to these stores.
Yes I would include everything in the process - just repeat it for each category - so that you end up with a cohesive wardrobe that is your style/the style you are trying to achieve ❤️
Have you re-created your depop account? I still remember your coat clear out prior the first lock down and am waiting for these items to be sold, as I've spotted some that interests me 🙊
Hi Emma! I tried to DM you on Instagram but it says you don't receive new messages from everyone :( I'd greatly appreciate if you can share some styling tips for navy bags!
I appreciate you don’t just throw your clothes on the flooring in a ball on the chair like so many other influencers...we have to appreciate these Articles not be so wasteful and ungrateful
Thanks for putting up content so regurlarly at the moment Emma! Definitively helps to cheer me up during lockdown :)
I’ve just started on this journey, I was the typical “wardrobe full of clothes and nothing to wear”.

Important point about 'recycling clothes' , buy second hand as much as possible and sell on or give on after use. Save the planet!
I needed mules and I decided for once to try n see if I can get new ones. The leather ones were about R800 on sale and plastic one R400 which tbqh way over what I could afford. Just went to my favourite thrift place n came back with 3 good leather pairs for R240. What was interesting for me was that I never knew I needed them to start with until I couldn't wear closed shoes due to hurting toes.
Yes it is so important and can be fun at the same time! 💗

Hi👋I’m about to turn 66 and also love Emma’s style/tips. And I still have &wear a few pieces from the 80’s on👍👏❗️
That is fantastic! My daughter has on more than one occasion said "mum I wish you had some of your old clothes that I could wear"
I loved the 80s. Thats the thing with Emma's style, it suits all ages, gives you a great base to tweak to your own style. Its nice to see that us older ladies are still enjoying fashion, we are not ready for the elasticated waistbands and velcro shoes just yet 😊 Happy shopping! 😀

Thank you ❤️ I have done lots of vlogs/day in my life videos previously that are on the channel. ❤️
Enjoyed this video! Such great tips for creating a curated closet where you are keeping only the pieces that you absolutely love.
Very well done. I found this with my wife and she is inspired!
Thank you for this video, it could not have come at a more perfect time. The weather just turned more autumn like and I need to do a wardrobe switch over. I feel like it will be different this year with staying at home so much. I literally only go out about once a week, so jackets, boots and handbags will barely get used. But I need outfits that look good during Zoom meetings, and of course, lots of comfortable casual clothes. Please do more videos on what to wear at home and how to keep your sense of style during these times.
Hi, need help to tap into fashion tips for (1) different body type (2) different climate
I really like ur style, using blazer, jeans & stuffs, but my body is pear shaped & i live in a tropical climate, so sometimes its not that suitable for my life style & body shape lol
Thanks anyway, love from Indonesia

@@eiguajardo followed already, thanks for recommendation :D
Thanks so much for another new video. I do hope you, Simon and your fur babies are staying sane, healthy and strong during lockdown 2.0. Hope you may find joy in everything you do, even if its something so simple. xoxo
Thank you ❤️ 1 week down, 3 to go (although I guess it will probably stretch on a little longer but we shall see 🙈)
I hate to admit it but I'm at an age where I feel like I need to question what I buy/wear as I don't want it to feel too young for me. I've recently turned 45, I don't think I look it but I def don't look 25! 🤣 I have a casual style with a neutral colour palette but I'm quite drawn to the chunky biker boots. Are there any other mid 40's girls who happily rock these kinda boots? Should I go for it? X
I’m 47 and have a pair so go for it! Xx
I'm 41 and Dr martens are a staple of mine, I have several pairs including the "Jadon Max" which are the epitome of chunky biker boots lol, go for it!!
As a 52yr old, I too, have been drawn to the chunky boot!! Sadly my legs are too short and dare I say muscular to rock the Arket chunkies that Emma favours, but found Massimo Dutti Chelseas work well. Bit more streamline but decent tread and furry lining! Go for it!
Thank you ladies, I'll go for it then! I guess it's just about getting the right style of biker boot. I feel you with the leg situation too, mine are as I would describe the boots - short and chunky 😂 x
Go for it. Maybe think of them as a classic.
Love your channel very helpful and practical thank you x
Just stumbled across your channel and love your videos. This one in particular really helped me and I realised I had already inadvertently done steps 1 and 2! Thanks :)
Thank you Emma dogs have been out, coffee in hand back to bed to focus on this follow on video from last Sunday thank you for continuing to put out informed inspirational content
Thanks for your videos, it helps a lot when you are lost and the fashion sense doesn't come as easy...
Also your advice are very practical.. thanks
great video Emma and have a lovely sunday x . I love selling my clothes on ebay after a wardrobe reshuffle and then searching for things that are ' none trend or this season ' but things i will love adding to my wardrobe .
Another extremely informative video Emma. So well thought out and out together.
as I’m starting my 9th month of pregnancy, I can tell you that I can’t wait to get my ore-pregnancy body back and rebuild indeed my wardrobe, because I changed a lot in 9 months, I feel different and now my new style would have to be breastfeeding friendly and baby friendly. Thank you for the last 2 videos ! Inspiring !
Love this video Emma! So many great thoughts...love how u plan what to buy!
Great overview!! After loosing a lot of weight during lockdown, I need a whole new wardrobe! I’m at the start of this process right now. Looking forward to more tips and insights!
Always look forward to watching your videos. Thank you Emma ❤️
Here in California we are still in our first lockdown that started in March :( Sorry that you will be joining us again! During lockdown I've definitely lost my sense of style but I am going to start with step 1 and make a Pinterest moodboard to look forward to wearing next year (fingers crossed).
Sending our love ❤️
Hi Emma I really enjoy your video and your outfits are my fav style 🤩. Hope you to stay healthy, love you😇💜
Definitely the video I absolutely needed this beginning of lockdown!! Thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Xoxo
Love this series!!!!
Thank you Emma, as always, this is extremely helpful! xo
I’m about to start doing this so thanks for the video I feel for you guys in lockdown I’m in the central belt in Scotland not in lockdown yet but may be coming xx
Hi Emma! Love your videos! And thank you for this one! About your tip on selling the clothes... I would really like to do it, but the issue is that I get overwelmed and confused once I start to think/plan about ways of doing it online... What do you suggest? Do you have a specific platform of your preference? If you could make a video with some suggestions/tips to sell our clothes online, it would be perfect! 👌Once again, thanks for the video and lots of kisses from Portugal! 😊
I mainly use depop as I find it fairly straightforward and easy but I will also use Vestiaire/Ebay depending on the item. I do go into some more tips in this video ruclips.net/video/ZG4XNGCVvn4/видео.html but will likely also be updating it soon too with another ❤️
@@EmmaHill thanks a lot Emma! I Will take a look at your video and I look forward to see the update! Thank you! Keep safe! 😊🙏
You made my day, Emma. Thank you so much for your useful videos. Stay safe!!!♥️
Love this, and it’s true your mood can change so often and I’ll often go in and out of Pinterest and delete things. All these tips are so useful. I’m just going to come out and say it. If you wrote a book with all your fashion and styling tips and tricks etc it would be a smash. Just saying 🙊📖✏️
Wow SO helpful 😍 gonna try all of these tips I love this step by step guide ✨
Thanks, Emma, useful and informative as always.
A good book that kind of follows the steps in your video and a book worth reading is The Curated Closet.
Thank u for the tips!!!🤩🤩
Me gusta mucho tu estilo y aunque no hablo inglés me encanta ver tus videos, dan mucha inspiración, con tu estilo elegante sofisticado pero nada complicado.
muchas gracias ❤️
What an amazing and useful video! Thank you very much for this ❤️
Great video. I literally took notes so I can look back at it. Cheers
Hi from Georgina (on hubby's iPad) I'm saving up for one of your blazer's and I won £5 on the lottery last night whoo hoo.I shall try to do a wardrobe sort during lockdown. Hubby and I dressed up for dinner at home for our wedding anniversary.I try and purchase things from charity shops and I donate a lot too! I love your style advice,thank you.
Happy Anniversary ❤️ Hope you had a fab day ❤️
this is definitely helps to cheer me up, thanks!
I've become pretty obsessed with ebay recently 🤣 as much as I love the opy (here in Queensland, Aus we've been back up and running for a few months now) I find with ebay you can find those amazing statement items more easily. Plus the algorithm sees what you like and makes further suggested searches 😳😳😳 maybe not the best if you're looking to save your coin though. Thinking of you all in lock down right now 😖💖
Thank you for this video. How do you suggest we start classifying the boards? What is more useful? I started with casual and smart but quickly realized that wouldn't work for me as I work in a creative industry. Thank you
It would really depend on the style you are aiming to achieve, although there is no reason you couldn't have two or three for different styles/occasions (ie. work, home, etc.) If you can't have a style that fits all, then take aspects that you like and fit them into each board. For example work on your home style and then take the aspects that you like from there that can be used for work and add them into the work board, adapting them as required to suit the need 👍
@@EmmaHill Good point
Hey Emma with regard to the mood board are the images actual pieces of clothing to buy or something alot more general? Many thanks. X
I tend to separate mine into 2 - the mood board is general images that give me inspiration but may not necessarily want to buy (although some may be pieces similar to what I am after) and then I have my Wishlist which is the pieces that I want to buy. 👍
Trying to adapt your wonderful style for my stubby little 5 foot 2 inch frame.
Such a gorgeous woman!..thanks for sharing your videos!..keep safe and God bless
Love this video emma! Such a cool video idea!
loove your tips! also, what camera did you use to record this video??
Great video as always! Thank you Emma!
#secondhandbutgrand🙌🏼
You hair is getting long 💁🏻♀️🖤
Emma, thanks for the video. My spirits are very uplifted as we just voted in a new real human president here in the USA!
🥰🥰🥰
I'm really not (anymore for i don't know maybe 6 to 7y) for or buying fastfashion. But i do buy for hubby his tshirts in hm (the regulair fit with v-neck bc he likes them and i must say they go for a couple of years) and for loungewear (sweatpants & hoodies) i shop there 1 a year and still i go only when its needed, bc for excample: i have a frenchie & there are moments he drools a lot so my pants are fast dirty. So i just can not comite or invest myself to buy a better quality sweatpants. So in that aspect i go to these stores.
Lovely content as usual. Thank you!
A great video Em with awesome tips loved it I am going to put some into practice 😊
I forgot Pinterest is a good tool. Since we went into a semi lockdown for 2 weeks this came at the right time!
as always loveeee your videos!!
Thank you!
Hi Emma. I love you style and videos! Thank you! I definitely need to sell some clothes. Where do you recommend I try sell them?
I personally use Depop as my main selling platform but will also use Vestiaire/Ebay depending on the item being sold 👍
Thank you 🌹🌹🌹
I slid into your DMs asking for more doggy videos. 😂😂🤔
Do you include any shoes in this process?
Yes I would include everything in the process - just repeat it for each category - so that you end up with a cohesive wardrobe that is your style/the style you are trying to achieve ❤️
Eee excited to watch ❤️
Have you re-created your depop account? I still remember your coat clear out prior the first lock down and am waiting for these items to be sold, as I've spotted some that interests me 🙊
Sorry, I will hopefully be listing some pieces soon but will keep you guys updated once I do 👍
@@EmmaHill - thanks, Emma. One more, if I may.... Would you rather choose arket or organic basics tees?
I would say that the organic basics are better in terms of ethics but I prefer the fit of Arket and that I find them to be of equal quality 👍
Excellent ❤️✅‼️
My problem is my mood changes 3 or 4 times a day! 😂 love your ideas and video! Thank you for sharing! 😍🤗🤔
🤣
Hola, podías activar los subtítulos en español ??? Gracias y saludos.
Hi, subtitles are enabled so should be available. 👍❤️
I just did this a day before last.
Hi Emma, could you make a video with tips to sell your clothes in second hand websites? I started very inspired but haven’t sold anything.. 😉
I will more than likely be doing an updated video covering this but you can find some tips here ruclips.net/video/ZG4XNGCVvn4/видео.html 👍
@@EmmaHill Oh thanks, I’ve missed that one! 😉
Emma do you still have a depop? 😃 or are ou currently selling anything on other websites?
I do but I haven't listed anything for some time. We are hoping to get a few bits listed soon but will keep you guys posted 👍
🖤🖤🖤
Dziękuję :)))
❤
I subscribed!
Is your mood board made with Pinterest?
Yes 👍
I usually have to give away unwanted clothing since practically everything I own has to be tailored to fit me, and no one wants to buy it.
Hello Beautifull ❤️ what type of "style" is this?I cant figure it out?if its chic, sustainable or etc . Hope all is well with you .
I would say it is a minimal, high/low with a masculine twist 👍
Hi Emma! I tried to DM you on Instagram but it says you don't receive new messages from everyone :( I'd greatly appreciate if you can share some styling tips for navy bags!
Hola Emma 🤗🤗😘😘🐶
I appreciate you don’t just throw your clothes on the flooring in a ball on the chair like so many other influencers...we have to appreciate these Articles not be so wasteful and ungrateful
