I’ve been guilty of buying clothes and shoes for a life I don’t have so I think of them as something beautiful to look at in my wardrobe just for me to enjoy. Great video.
Did that habit change ? i've been like that a bit & i did feel like i needed so much more space to store my clothing & shoes. I'd be curious to know more^^
I have made a conscious decision to buy more mindfully this year and have bought very little. Like heaps of people, I’ve been decluttering my wardrobe and have found gems I forgot about. Some I have moved on by selling others, I’m keeping for me. My biggest downfall is evening shoes. I love them but rarely go out so as Christie suggested, I’m going to wear them during the day which is a great idea as you can see them much better in the daylight!
I bought the most amazing Swarovski crystal Cinderella high heels ever. I was sad, because they are really freaking amazing, but for very special occation. I decided to created special occasions LOL Now at least once a week I am wearing them while I am vacuuming, cooking or watching TV and I feel fabulous ;)
I've finally realized that jeans and graphic tees fit my lifestyle perfectly. I focus more on funky accessories, shoes and makeup now because I'm more likely to get dressed up a little more and feel great at Home Depot & the grocery store knowing when I get home I can take off the earrings, throw on my muck boots and go about tending the livestock without having to entirely change my outfit. I feel a lot better about how I dress now that I'm not hung up on what I could be wearing if I had an entirely different life!
Great way to approach it, i do find outerwears and hats to be great to transform an outfit without doing much either; i'm a sucker for styling yet not spending hours doing so lol^^
I’ve been thinking about this whole wardrobe thing a lot lately. I think for me the thing is to grow up( I’m 65!) and admit to myself that I have no need for many of my clothes. I’ve been doing wishful shopping for years as if buying the clothes would make the occasion appear. It’s like when I cleaned out my kitchen and discovered I had 6 pie plates! No one needs 6 pie plates ! Now my kitchen is fun to cook in . I want my closet to be like that.
I almost bought a pair of chinos today that looked okay but not great and then I heard your voice in my head "don't settle" and I put them back 😂. Good advice thank-you!
As to dressing for one’s current lifestyle - for me reaching semi-retirement has really changed what I actually wear. I have been parting with items that I absolutely loved, put good money into, and needed during various points in my career. It helps to purge those items if you have a good friend who wants and can use them. Even after paring down all the suits, I still am hanging on to pieces that will be worn very infrequently now. I guess this is a process.
I am nearing retirement and doing the same. I agree it's a process and seem to get rid of things in layers. I'm also trying to embrace the capsule concept.
Love your energy, positivity and sense of style. As one ages, it becomes more and more difficult to remain positive about fashion. But it is so important not to give up.
rofl. i have one to two bras that fit at any given time. at a 42H and being low income, buying new bras don't take priority. so as long as it doesn't break or the wire doesn't pop thru, i'm going to wear one for a year or more.
I am keeping this quote in my notes, the goal is finding pieces that, “not only represent who you really are but also fit you beautifully”. . . that is very excellent advice that I will take to heart. Thank you for saying it so well.
What you said about oversized clothes is so TRUE! I’m petite & used to buy small or even medium tops & wondered why I was feeling grumpy! I started buying extra small tops (Nordstrom usually fits me well) & I look like I’ve dropped 10 pounds! Your advice is perfect & so very helpful! I’m pretty sure I downsized after watching one of your videos about 1-2 years ago!
I have a similar shape too; and used to buy baggier pieces until i realized that what i saw in the mirror was not a reflection of what i truly wanted to project into the world. That did change but wearing looser clothes could be great when layering and playing with your proportions. I do that more now ^^
The buying for your lifestyle tip is the reason that I primarily wear T-shirt’s and jeans. I work on a farm/greenhouse and live in a nowhere town with nothing to do! I’d love to get dressed up for an amazing night out but where would I go? The gas station? Haha! Love your channel Christie!
Whatever works for you. My sister makes t-shirt and jeans look so polished while I look like a troll in my fancy summer dresses. Wish I could be as effortless as her.
Perfect video, i think you discuss every problem perfectly.. I worst for me is keeping my best clothes for special events and in a results some pieces are left and never worn because the event doesnt come (a lot of excuses - weather, sickness, iam tired, busy or i put or loos a weight and in a result clothes i really like is out of day now, i reapat it all the time :(
It's a nice world to think you can hold out and the perfect item will eventually happen but unfortunately that's not always the case. Sometimes you need to buy short term pieces to fill a gap and replace them when the perfect one comes along. Maybe in the US it's easier, but in Australia our shopping options are pretty limited so finding a perfect piece is rare, not regular and I window shop a lot.
Have you considered online shopping ? it could be beneficial when locally is limited; i live in Canada and i do feel like you : we don't have as many options so i always do my best to venture online lol^^
@@KawaiigurlTomo yes, I do most online because I have small children. Unfortunately it's still very limited. More and more places offer shipping to Australia but then if it doesn't work it often cost 1/2 the value of the item to return it so not worth it.
Really helpful to hear this as a woman who is carrying more weight than I would like. I have in the past bought clothing simply because I could get in it. Some years later I have come to the realization that, absolutely yes - no matter your size or shape, hold out for the pieces that feel fantastic and fit perfectly! Thank you for the lovely and helpful video.
You give some good advice I have learn't not to leave things just for special occasions I like adding something glamorous to my outfits every time I go out in public so every piece of clothing gets more wear things need to be altered or mended so I have taught myself to do my own alterations having a wardrobe that works for me takes work it doesn't just happen automatically behind every well dressed woman is someone who has thought there outfit through what works and what doesn't and keeping things in good condition
Loved this video, thought your advice was really sound. Especially regarding buying oversized clothing. I had a special knack of doing that until recently, when it hit me that my clothes were bagging off of me. It was just awful. Now I buy true to my size and what a difference it has made. It’s wonderful!
It's always a great way to bring some originality to your day looks too; sequins can be a good one when paired with something much more casual (tee-shirt or jeans) but it always depends. What kind of bling would you love to try during the day but wasn't sure about ?
To hammer home the alterations point: I bought some basic crew neck tees in prints I love to wear for summer, but the torso was too wide for me on all of them, and because of this, the curved hem stuck out in a point at my sides! The solution? I got them taken in, now they fit exactly the way I want them too, and I never take them off 😂
I’m so glad you mentioned under garments.❤️ 🥰 I love Pinterest for inspiration... now that I’ve retired and on a budget I only now buy what I need I’m not one to buy off sale racks because the sign says 60 or 80 % off, I feel it’s a reason it’s on sale although I have found a very few items I like on sale. I wear only comfy clothes, I have gotten rid of business suits anything I haven’t wore over a year so now mostly everything I have I love and LOVE is the magic word for my closet wardrobe and it’s that way for my makeup as well and if I don’t absolutely love it it’s gone😂and I thank you for sharing💕✨💕
The colorful sneakers at 06:21-06:23🤗 I need those in my life💃 I live in Tucson, AZ and small rocks are everywhere waiting to turn one’s ankles! As a Canadian retiree who runs around volunteering, the heels are mostly gathering dust in my closet. Love your videos🥰
Great tips especially on the bras & underwear! It makes all the difference in how your clothes sit on your body! When I am shopping I am keeping an eye out for at least 1 or 2 items that I know will make a difference to my wardrobe long term. We also attend a lot of formal functions so if I see a dress that I love, can be worn to a few different functions I’ll purchase it for later.
I expected the same ol mistake tips but these were really great! Thank you so much. I have a stack of things for altering and never get to it. This motivated me. Oh and I love the way you say “about”! 😄
Great video as always Christie! Thank you so much. It always brings me much joy to watch you talk about fashion. Best way to recover from a stressful work day!!!
As usual, you’ve made another wonderful videos with so much help and support for us ladies that need to take a second look at our closets!😘💜✌🏼 thanks Christie!
Love your closet Christie! Great tips and I love your earrings. Also I love how you mentioned that clothes have power and makes us feel something. Have a wonderful day! xo Jackie💖
These were such great tips! I definitely need to take another look at my special occasion pieces. I'm good about carrying dressier handbags with more casual outfits, but I'm sure there are other pieces in my closet that I need to experiment with. Holding out for the right item can be difficult but is great advice!
It's a good to rediscover your closet, and even revamp your clothes. Litterally like buying into your own closet lol; what are your usual dressier pieces (currently in your closet) ?
Great helpful video. My mother taught us to use a tailor to make our clothes fit correctly. Great advice. I spotted Oscar in one of the flashback outfits. Miss him in the videos with Jasmine. Awwwww.
Would you please share what lippie you are wearing in this video? It’s pretty and you look gorgeous! I would love to try it since we have similar coloring.
Such good advice! You are new to me and I'm glad I found you! Total ditto on the underground advice! A looong time ago it was referred to as " foundations " need I say more??
I like your advices so much and try hard to get my wardrobe changed into my own style, what makes me lucky every day. I am looking forward to your next video. Greatings from Germany! :-)
Hi Angel, two of your points are so helpful... I have underwear, that is comfy, but nylon and high waist. The pants I have for work just are too big and slide down all day. So this weekend, changing that. In my current life mode - just nothing fancy. I am basically a janitor, and am working out as much as possible to bring my body into shape to work (from this past year of healing my knees). Love ya much, Maren
I rather use spanx. I hate thongs. And I'm not talking about the rear. A lot of underwear is often not properly design for those of us who have a bigger "downstairs" in the front.
Great tips. I see myself doing a lot of this things. I don’t have a lot of money to just get my clothes altered every time I get new clothes which is hardly ever.
Good point on having the right underwear. There is something called a "Rixie clip" which allows you to tighten an old bra band. I like to use this to get some extra use from my fave bras, cus I'm cheap. :)
"Bring those puppies out"! So "momma" to three fur babies, I'd love to see yours! Of course I spotted yours in that bit Brand new to your channel, loving it so far! Awesome wardrobe tips!
Love how you put outfits together. I always get compliments on my outfits and I am told I am always stylish, but I do not feel that way about myself.....why?
Great tips - especially "not settling" and alterations. So many poor fitting pants out there and being worn by slender women. I am losing weight (down 12 lbs) and put pants back because I couldn't see altering them when they might not fit right again in 4 wks.
Sometimes when I am not sure and may “settle” for something and I wear it and people love it on me I am surprised and then I think “well I have no clue”:) I swear I have stuff I haven’t taken out of my wardrobe but I think are just ok but others seem to like it more than me!
I just discovered your channel and it’s really helpful and you are just beautiful! I love your make-up here too. I will be going through these videos tonight. Have a great evening♥️
Another great video. Thank you so much. I hope to some day be able to afford your class. With your help saving money by selecting only what I need will get me there so much faster.
My lifestyle is super casual. I have 2 chronic pain disorders that keep me home based. However, The majority of my time out is spent at doctor's offices (about 2-3 days per week as we take care of my parents as well). I no longer can wear higher than about a one inch heel. I would like to find something more stylish than my yoga pants/jeans and a cotton shirt with tennis shoes for date night with my husband that. I am plus size, smaller on top and rounder in the middle (somewhere inbetween pear and apple shape). Suggestions?
I guess I feel that as a person living in a small Midwest town a lot of these tips would make me look overdressed, trying too hard, which is not my vibe. Wearing a rhinestone clutch in the middle of the day just would look OTT here. What do you guys think about this?
LOL I didn't say it had to be rhinestones (I showcased a basic white clutch as an option also). Any clutch; regular or bling is an option IF people want to. Fashion is about doing what speaks to you -- no need to wear anything that doesn't resonate.
I’ve decided to dress up more when I go out...even to the grocery store. I never dropped the baby weight (he’s thirty four) and people really do treat you differently if you look like you’ve just spent the day pulling weeds and you are overweight on top of that. I have some fun or pretty things and I’m not going to wait anymore for special occasions to wear them.
Thank you so much! I just found you and love what you have to say!! I am turning 70 soon and I am thin (5’5” and 115 lb.) I wonder what type of underwear I should be wearing. I look good in skinny jeans but I usually wear below the hip tops, so maybe it doesn’t matter but I was just wondering. Any suggestion would be so appreciated! You exude beauty! Great job!💕
Many recommendations for replacing items are based on having more money to spend. A lot of us don't have more than a few dollars to spend on items like bras. Kathy B.
Dee Ferry my suggestion ... be glad that you have small hips.. as far as “ shapewear”, is your goal to disguise or downplay a larger waistline? If so, there are some helpful tips about body types, how to choose fashion to flatter , as an example, an “ apple “ body type... a friend of mine has the apple type shape.. it’s more rounded in the center or waistline- clothing can help disguise things that you want to downplay ... bra fitting videos can be found on RUclips , too. Simply use key word search like “ tips on buying shapewear for small hips - larger waistline”... Pinterest is also full of ideas and fashions, too. Clothing that fits well can sometimes give the exact look you want.
I bought these and I've never had one fit better in my life I tell you. Game changing to actually find something that worked! www.amazon.com/DKNY-Seamless-Bralette-Everyday-Comfort/dp/B07BD39RGX/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=dkny%2Bbra&qid=1568484332&s=gateway&sprefix=dkny%2B&sr=8-3&th=1&psc=1
Can you add wear shoes that don't fit too small or big or too high. Yesterday I was at the mall and saw a young 20 something or teen. She looked good, but her heals where so high..it looked like it was the first time walking in heals. She was holding on to her guy so she would not fall. I felt bad for her. I wanted to take her aside and her her a lesson. She looked awkward and a bit unsure so I didn't want to insult her. She would have rocked the out fit in shorter heels or Sandles. Not the first time I have seen this, while I was out.
Not able to figure out if i cn wear comfortable yet a bit body hugging Tees n tops whn my belly is protruding with love handles 🤔n if i wear loose then my body luks almost shape less... My body is smwt rectangular in shape... Cud u pls gv sm tips to hlp me get bk my confidence?
shaily J If you must wear a looser top (which is not always unflattering, despite how it kind of sounded on this video!), make sure the shoulders and sleeves fit properly and consider a half tuck or a knot (depending on type of shirt). Basically: wear a shirt that’s supposed to be a looser fit, rather than buying your tops way too big and just letting them hang off of you. Also make sure to balance with a more fitted bottom piece.
It can be difficult to find yourself finding fitted pieces yet feeling totally confident it, i totally understand. What i'd suggest is to play with layers. When having a rectangular shape, you want to create curves without accentuating those you have too much. So you can for example wear a looser top but choosing to having a slightly structured blazer : it'll redefine but with not too much accent. Second thing might be to get high waisted bottoms too^^
I love wearing colorful And bling outfit mixing and matching for work. I’m not from USA so I noticed in the States women shy away from wearing nice color and playful outfits. Too much grays and blacks. Thank you💖💖💖💖💖
That_Lid •-• I’m from the Pacific Northwest and in my sixties. I’m also married to an Asian man. My sister in laws from Asia could not understand why my Caucasian sister in law and I only wore dark colors on our bottom half’s in the summer and dark colors in the winter. That’s the way we were brought up and it’s hard to stop. Most of us don’t paint our houses inside or out in bright colors. You can usually tell when someone isn’t from around this area by their bright clothing in winter or house colors. I had a German friend who wore a lot of neon and I could tell it was her when I’d spot a flash of color at the other end of a store or mall. Maybe we are wearing colorful under garments. 🤫😆
Marty Maloney I grew up in Ethiopia where literally vibrant colorful clothing was cultural norm. Houses painted with multiple bright colors. Wearing grey and black I feel not myself But when I wear some colors I feel very warm welcoming and cheerful We all need little color in our lives to bright up our surroundings Thank you Marty!
I have a question about Bras. I had a reduction a few years ago and, as a consequence, have huge amounts of side boob! I am an apple shape and find wires uncomfortable because I'm short waisted. Hope you can help! Thanks 😍

great way to go ! could you pair them with something more casual and have a nice evening out with friends, i'm pretty sure they'd look fabulous^^

I have got bras I'm still wearing from 2010. I am very ashamed now.
I did, however, order four new ones yesterday, so there is hope for me.
I am keeping this quote in my notes, the goal is finding pieces that, “not only represent who you really are but also fit you beautifully”. . . that is very excellent advice that I will take to heart. Thank you for saying it so well.

Adding in the special pieces on an everyday outfit has always gotten compliments for me. That goes even for work, where the environment is casual.
It's a nice world to think you can hold out and the perfect item will eventually happen but unfortunately that's not always the case. Sometimes you need to buy short term pieces to fill a gap and replace them when the perfect one comes along. Maybe in the US it's easier, but in Australia our shopping options are pretty limited so finding a perfect piece is rare, not regular and I window shop a lot.
It also depends on your size. As plus sized, I often have to settle because there aren't several varieties of a piece to choose from.
Have you considered online shopping ? it could be beneficial when locally is limited; i live in Canada and i do feel like you : we don't have as many options so i always do my best to venture online lol^^
@@KawaiigurlTomo yes, I do most online because I have small children. Unfortunately it's still very limited. More and more places offer shipping to Australia but then if it doesn't work it often cost 1/2 the value of the item to return it so not worth it.

I just became a “ smaller” version of myself (120 lbs lighter). And just found your blog. LOVE IT and your great ideas. Hugs
So glad you say I can bring some bling into my outfits. I love it but wasnt sure if it was correct for daytime. Tx for a great video

SINternet Entertainment Learn to do it yourself, it’s not that hard.
@@martymaloney1032 I might have too. I just have to find time to do it.
Lol I wish I had the disposable income to afford replacing bras that often, they're so pricey! Especially if you're going quality over quantity
Good point on having the right underwear. There is something called a "Rixie clip" which allows you to tighten an old bra band. I like to use this to get some extra use from my fave bras, cus I'm cheap. :)
Good tip
"Bring those puppies out"! So "momma" to three fur babies, I'd love to see yours! Of course I spotted yours in that bit Brand new to your channel, loving it so far! Awesome wardrobe tips!
Love how you put outfits together. I always get compliments on my outfits and I am told I am always stylish, but I do not feel that way about myself.....why?
Agree about alterations, but.... how do you find a good one if you're not in a city?
First time viewer. Excellent content and presentation. I think all the points you made were spot on.
Great tips - especially "not settling" and alterations. So many poor fitting pants out there and being worn by slender women. I am losing weight (down 12 lbs) and put pants back because I couldn't see altering them when they might not fit right again in 4 wks.
Thank you for a great video! /Marie from Sweden
Thongs are life. I swear by Calvin Klein cotton ones. Practical and comfortable!
Sometimes when I am not sure and may “settle” for something and I wear it and people love it on me I am surprised and then I think “well I have no clue”:) I swear I have stuff I haven’t taken out of my wardrobe but I think are just ok but others seem to like it more than me!
Great tips, as always!☺️👍🏻
I just discovered your channel and it’s really helpful and you are just beautiful! I love your make-up here too. I will be going through these videos tonight. Have a great evening♥️
Another great video. Thank you so much. I hope to some day be able to afford your class. With your help saving money by selecting only what I need will get me there so much faster.
Thanks for these tips❤️
Love this video! Where did you find the oversized clutch bags and the super cute mules that are in your video? I can’t find these pieces anywhere!
Bahaha....I thought I was getting thinner when I had to strap my bra to the next clip, LOL! Thx....
Where can i get those white wide leg pants? so stunning
Beautiful look and economic budget cost
Great tips Christie, and love your presentation. Thank you!
Christie, you look so fabulous in the brown top and white pants.....
Love the earrings! Another great video.
WONDERFUL video! Thank you! I loved the leopard blouse with pink pants- so pretty. Christie, I did your body shape class and it was very helpful.
I’m so happy to hear that! 💖🙌🏻😘
As always another great video!! 💖👌🏼👗👠
My lifestyle is super casual. I have 2 chronic pain disorders that keep me home based. However, The majority of my time out is spent at doctor's offices (about 2-3 days per week as we take care of my parents as well). I no longer can wear higher than about a one inch heel. I would like to find something more stylish than my yoga pants/jeans and a cotton shirt with tennis shoes for date night with my husband that. I am plus size, smaller on top and rounder in the middle (somewhere inbetween pear and apple shape). Suggestions?
I guess I feel that as a person living in a small Midwest town a lot of these tips would make me look overdressed, trying too hard, which is not my vibe. Wearing a rhinestone clutch in the middle of the day just would look OTT here. What do you guys think about this?
LOL I didn't say it had to be rhinestones (I showcased a basic white clutch as an option also). Any clutch; regular or bling is an option IF people want to. Fashion is about doing what speaks to you -- no need to wear anything that doesn't resonate.
I’ve decided to dress up more when I go out...even to the grocery store. I never dropped the baby weight (he’s thirty four) and people really do treat you differently if you look like you’ve just spent the day pulling weeds and you are overweight on top of that. I have some fun or pretty things and I’m not going to wait anymore for special occasions to wear them.
Style Squad Angels--I love it! Another great video--thank you. Bless you...from Grandma Bunny--not the dumbest blond in Arizona.
Thank you so much! I just found you and love what you have to say!! I am turning 70 soon and I am thin (5’5” and 115 lb.) I wonder what type of underwear I should be wearing. I look good in skinny jeans but I usually wear below the hip tops, so maybe it doesn’t matter but I was just wondering. Any suggestion would be so appreciated! You exude beauty! Great job!💕
Fantastic advice!!!!!!
Many recommendations for replacing items are based on having more money to spend. A lot of us don't have more than a few dollars to spend on items like bras.

I thought that too...until I checked my 'latte factor'...
Wish you'd explain how to buy shapewear. I don't have a small waist but I have small hips, I don't seem to be able to get shapewear that fits
Dee Ferry my suggestion ... be glad that you have small hips.. as far as “ shapewear”, is your goal to disguise or downplay a larger waistline? If so, there are some helpful tips about body types, how to choose fashion to flatter , as an example, an “ apple “ body type... a friend of mine has the apple type shape.. it’s more rounded in the center or waistline- clothing can help disguise things that you want to downplay ... bra fitting videos can be found on RUclips , too. Simply use key word search like “ tips on buying shapewear for small hips - larger waistline”... Pinterest is also full of ideas and fashions, too. Clothing that fits well can sometimes give the exact look you want.
I loved sex in the city and brad shawls outfits! That was a game changer for many woman
You're so right!
OMG! What is the brand of the shiny pink heels with the heart on the bottom and the rainbow sequined shoes? I'm in love with both of those shoes!
Great advice. Very practical.
I love your earrings. Where did you get them?
It is working on my iphone
Some of us can’t find a bra to fit us period. Where do you find 36 AA? 😂😂😂😂😂. Your skin and makeup is on point❤️
I bought these and I've never had one fit better in my life I tell you. Game changing to actually find something that worked!

Great informative video. Could you tell me what your lipstick is.?
Can you add wear shoes that don't fit too small or big or too high. Yesterday I was at the mall and saw a young 20 something or teen. She looked good, but her heals where so high..it looked like it was the first time walking in heals. She was holding on to her guy so she would not fall. I felt bad for her. I wanted to take her aside and her her a lesson. She looked awkward and a bit unsure so I didn't want to insult her. She would have rocked the out fit in shorter heels or Sandles. Not the first time I have seen this, while I was out.
Thx, i tailor 80 percent of my stuff, to fit my boyish body😊
Very informative video, but please deats on the earrings!?!
Not able to figure out if i cn wear comfortable yet a bit body hugging Tees n tops whn my belly is protruding with love handles 🤔n if i wear loose then my body luks almost shape less... My body is smwt rectangular in shape... Cud u pls gv sm tips to hlp me get bk my confidence?
shaily J If you must wear a looser top (which is not always unflattering, despite how it kind of sounded on this video!), make sure the shoulders and sleeves fit properly and consider a half tuck or a knot (depending on type of shirt). Basically: wear a shirt that’s supposed to be a looser fit, rather than buying your tops way too big and just letting them hang off of you. Also make sure to balance with a more fitted bottom piece.
And cute shoes!
It can be difficult to find yourself finding fitted pieces yet feeling totally confident it, i totally understand. What i'd suggest is to play with layers. When having a rectangular shape, you want to create curves without accentuating those you have too much. So you can for example wear a looser top but choosing to having a slightly structured blazer : it'll redefine but with not too much accent. Second thing might be to get high waisted bottoms too^^
If you have a muffin top, usually the tshirt isn’t the issue but actually the pants. Wear a higher waist.
@@bandbporter thnx a ton for ur suggestions i appreciate it
What lipstick are you wearing in this video?
I love wearing colorful
And bling outfit mixing and matching for work. I’m not from USA so I noticed in the States women shy away from wearing nice color and playful outfits. Too much grays and blacks. Thank you💖💖💖💖💖
That_Lid •-• I’m from the Pacific Northwest and in my sixties. I’m also married to an Asian man. My sister in laws from Asia could not understand why my Caucasian sister in law and I only wore dark colors on our bottom half’s in the summer and dark colors in the winter. That’s the way we were brought up and it’s hard to stop. Most of us don’t paint our houses inside or out in bright colors. You can usually tell when someone isn’t from around this area by their bright clothing in winter or house colors. I had a German friend who wore a lot of neon and I could tell it was her when I’d spot a flash of color at the other end of a store or mall. Maybe we are wearing colorful under garments. 🤫😆

I grew up in Ethiopia where literally vibrant colorful clothing was cultural norm. Houses painted with multiple bright colors. Wearing grey and black I feel not myself
But when I wear some colors I feel very warm welcoming and cheerful
We all need little color in our lives to bright up our surroundings
Thank you Marty!
Yes quality, posture and fit. 🙂💕
I have a question about Bras. I had a reduction a few years ago and, as a consequence, have huge amounts of side boob! I am an apple shape and find wires uncomfortable because I'm short waisted. Hope you can help! Thanks 😍
After watching all these videos, I literally feel like I need to go throw all my clothes out 😭
Great info!
