    1. Start with the weather - it limits your choices
    2. Choose footwear based on the day’s activities
    3. Build your capsule wardrobe
    4. Create an “outfit sandwich” or visual balance in your outfit
    5. Juxtapose / contrast styles within your outfit
    6. Add accessories
    This will help me remember :D #2 is why I don’t like wear my heels or anything uncomfortable much anymore. #4 #5 #6 are the ones I need to remember. 🥳

    I really like how you focus on tips, tricks, ideas, inspiration rather than haul after haul. The occasional haul is still fun to watch but this sort of video is timeless. 5 years on watching this would still be as relevant. This is the kind of content we all need!

    Lydia - I would love to share a tip I read years ago that goes right along with the color repeating. And this works! Match your leather tones to your hair tones and you will always look balanced and pulled together. One granddaughter is a redhead and all her leather goods are in caramels, toffees ,etc and no matter what is in between (like a black dress which would look too heavy on her fair coloring with black shoes) no matter what looks good because the head always blends with the feet. I am grey and honestly my shoes are all grey or taupe and they always make me feel good (also navy at times). Black hair - black shoes balance you out,. I could go on but too much. This is just a tip for those building a core wardrobe and doesn't mean you can't expand to other colors but matching your leather goods to your hair color and skin tone really works for a polished look.

      mousey/grey looking belt! 😉)

    • @diannelevy3303
      @diannelevy3303 3 года назад

      @@sallyg2139 So funny! That is me also but taupe will also work. If you take a basic black pant or jeans and add a shirt or a turtleneck or a tee in a color that suits you and then add your "mousy grey" shoes and belt or bag you will be pleasantly surprised at how easy it will be to dress - not to mention pack for a trip. I wear alot of blue and grey so I do add a navy loafer or belt . The hair color/leather combo is just a good building block for a core wardrobe but it will save time and money and simplify dressing .

    I really enjoy the sit down videos. You give really useful practical tips as living in the UK is so difficult to dress for the time of year due to the weather. I love that you are not constantly doing hauls but getting us to really think about what we need not what we want. I used to hate it when people talked about basics until I realised they were the true foundation to any wardrobe. I spent my life looking for stand out items that went with very little. I love your common sense approach and classic styling. ❤️

    Step 1. start with the weather - you should feel comfortable!
    Step 2. choose footwear depending on what you will do during the day
    Step 3. build your capsule wardrobe
    Step 4. sandwich rule: balance everything by combining style/color on the top and the bottom
    Step 5. contrast your style by combining feminine and masculine pieces
    Step 6. Accessorize

    Weather is definitely key 🔑 :) no point in wearing certain clothing if the weather is rainy you won't feel good. If you are mainly travelling by car 🚗 you can get away with wearing more of what you like. As you are not so exposed to the elements x

    Great video Lydia! I would love to see a video on jewelry styling. When do you stop with layering your jewelry? How much is too much? If you wear a watch, should you wear a bracelet or a stack of bracelets? If you wear large earrings, should you wear a statement necklace, smaller necklace(s) or no necklace at all? (I could go on forever with questions. 😂) Thanks again for all your styling help! 😘

    I love your suggestions to balance something light and airy with something chunky or boxy... Can't say I've learned to put that together off the cuff, but I copy some of your ideas. Also, could you do some more examples of the "sandwich" thing? Yes, I love these personal videos when you talk to us, I think you are right, it engenders a real feeling of intimacy and camaraderie with your viewers, rather than "I'm going to throw a lot of haul pieces you should go out and buy" LOL, which makes me feel I am being used for a purely commercial transaction... I wish more of your co-influencers would take that tack...

      Hello! Yes I'd love to do that one day - at the moment my closet isn't quite how I'd like it but usually I'd organise by category e.g.e tops with tops, trousers with trousers etc. The most important thing to do I think is to keep it colour coded!
