    Between watching Melissa and her style tips, and all the declutter shows, I have cleared out my wardrobe, old shoes, handbags, make-up the lot!! Trying it all on, I had to find what goes with what, and picked out what looked good....there was a big pile of stuff that I didn't even want to put on, it didn't make me happy or feel good or anything positive, and I realised..That was All the stuff that overfilled my wardrobe and made it hard to find what I Did want to wear, and with trying it on, liking it and hanging it up, my wardrobe looked just nicely filled.. ..so guess what, I could finally let all the rest go, including bags and shoes I never wear!! Donated it all and haven't looked back!❤

    I'm so glad I clicked on this video. I have been very frumpy for many years now. I barely ever go out these days so there's no reason to bother. But I have to make some changes. I've lost a lot of weight this year (and intend to keep going). As we're just going into warmer weather in Australia at the moment (November) I've put on several pairs of shorts just to find out they won't stay up on their own! I have to overhaul my clothes. Most of my tops I was drowning in over the last few months. It wasn't till I saw my image on a zoom webinar that I realised how frumpy I am looking. I'm busy making my way through lots of areas in my life and myself (slowly but surely) and it's good to have some tips to include. So glad I ran across your channel today.

    @deedsh6280 2 месяца назад +7

    I really enjoyed Melissa's take on 'investment' purchases. It's usually standard practice to tout the value of an investment piece or two, but despite being nudged toward that blanket statement, Melissa repeated that for some who wish to take care of their items (can be bothered to remove before showering etc) AND who might be just has happy using something for a few years and replacing it with something they feel is trending a bit more, it can be equally as smart a strategy to not invest in something that expensive. It doesn't have to mean cheap or fast--it can just mean that they don't think they'll derive the value in a big-time expense for one item. THANK YOU. One size doesn't fit all, in many ways.

    My 83-yr-old mom was visiting and we were in my closet when she asked why I had so many white tops. I told her they go with everything. Glad to hear this confirmed. Since retiring a few months ago I realized I had no hang-around-the-house clothes. ( I only own one pr of jeans.) And the older I get, the more important is to have comfy everyday shoes. Not a fan of sneakers so it took some searching but found a few brands that are comfy and stylish.

      Lol, I once bought a pair of navy slingback pointed shoes in the early 2000s. I thought I was the bees knees until I found I couldn’t walk in them. I kept tripping over the points and felt like daffy duck. I had to go back home and change. The shoes promptly ended up in a charity shop, (this was before online selling sites became big).
      I have since discovered that I have flat feet and that was probably the source of my problems. Now I have to look hard for comfy AND stylish shoes for flat feet - very difficult, especially when you want to look chic. I was grateful for the trainer trend and New Balance 574 trainers with a more pointed toe work well for me. Shoes though are another issue and very difficult as they have to have a strap or I can’t keep them on my feet, but this makes your legs look shorter. Haven’t found a stylist yet that addresses this issue. I have one pair of loafers that stay on my slim heels and some almond toe shaped boots, but no other shoes presently. I need help and pointy shoes aren’t it!

    OMG what am I going to do with all my coloured blouses. (I’ll wear them in the summer with white trousers) maybe 😉
    Instead of black colour tops with black jeans etc. it’s white or cream from now on.
    White jeans with the camel coat too ? Ooh I think so. Even in winter. The jumper is soft with a loose polo neck. Still need to find a round neck jumper. I’m skint till next week now 🤭

      Now I need to clear out my wardrobe. I’m hooked on the ideas you two ladies have given me. Baring the ankles 😬
      I do already have some white and cream tops. Loads of scarves. I’ll be sifting through them too now. Thanks again.

I’ve got a couple of pairs of jeans in my wardrobe that just need a bit of a shorter hem, and a couple white tops I had forgotten I owned to go dig out…and take a look at my jewelry options!
    Thanks so much, I’m going to sub to her channel, and I look forward to seeing your closet re-do - I have a feeling it’ll help me out a lot as well!😉

    Pointy shoes cause 2 types of bunions - big toe bunions and tailor bunions on baby toe. Young girls should be taught this and pointy shoes shoes should be worn very very sparingly. If you want to walk properly without pain when you are over 50, teach your daughters the dangers of pointy shoes.

    • @kf10126

    The coat colors she suggested are not for everyone. If you know your colors from the seasonal color analysis approach you would know what works personally. Also if you know your Kibbe body type then you know what works for your shape. These 2 approaches help with curating your closet and finding your personal style. The Curated Closet book is a great help too.

      Great question which I don't have an answer to I'm afraid as I didn't ask. However, the suit is featured in this video where she has paired it with metallic colored shoes on a client ruclips.net/video/s0-kzJd7F6A/видео.html

    I personally feel because you are more broad shouldered if you wear shoulder pads or have a more structured top piece on with sharper shoulders it is only accentuating your broad shoulders I was really surprised to hear a professional stylist to offer you that advice

    • @thehonestchannel
      @thehonestchannel  2 месяца назад +2

      I’ve not noticed having broad shoulders before. Usually clothes hang off my shoulders as I’m quite small so I did agree the shirt could benefit from a little structure.

I’ll start with an idea, and then find so many things that would work, I can not make my mind up and I end up wearing almost the same thing all the time! Is it that I’ve got too much?

    I desperately need wardrobe help! I stopped working just at the start of Covid and never went back. Since retirement I have gained a few pounds and now have nothing that fits. The selection at the malls is dreadful and I do not like shopping online. I’ve bought a few items that way but it’s such a hassle to wait and then have to send it back when it doesn’t fit. I look like I’ve given up because I have. What is a 60yo woman to do when she needs an entirely new wardrobe?

    • @thehonestchannel
      @thehonestchannel  3 месяца назад +2

      I think Melissa’s point about trying to build a capsule wardrobe around a few items that can be mixed and matched would be especially helpful when you’re starting over like this. Not easy though, I know. ❤️

    Can we stop calling things that are more expensive, "investments"? Unless it's likely to go up in price, it's not an investment. Certainly a $200 plated piece of jewelry is never an investment. I'd rather save up my money and buy solid gold that lasts, and can hold its value.

    • @2010lrain
      @2010lrain 2 месяца назад +1

      Investments aren't necessarily financial. It's also a commitment of resources to achieve later benefits. So by having a good quality wool coat in a neutral colour for example that will last for years, is in itself an 'investment' as it's beneficial.

      Social media makes us believe that we always have to look perfectly put together and stylish at all times and that is simply not true. Yes there are days we like to look stylish but there is a time and place for everything including a coat that is weather appropriate for a milk run on a miserable day. 🩷

    I love your channel and all your guests. This one is an exception unfortunately. I don’t know Melissa but she comes across patronising to me.
    Nothing wrong with wearing something you are comfortable with and the colour that suits your skin colour. I don’t like that she is calling them ‘mistakes’. If I’m comfortable wearing a certain way then I want to keep wearing it. It’s not a mistake.

    • @azreas

      Thank you for supporting my channel - it really is appreciated. Not all subjects covered and advice shared is going to appeal to everyone, and I understand that. Melissa offers practical tips for people like me who are looking for pointers around how to lift outfits and get out of the frumpy zone where I quite often find myself in winter!
