YES! Omg I am NOT a white button down shirt person and it's on every "must have" list, but it's a no for me. Same for a white T shirt. I own every neutral color but not white. You are so right.
This was a real powerhouse of a video. I had to watch it twice and with a notebook and pen! As mentioned before, for me authenticity and confidence have gone hand in hand. As I took chances to express my authentic style to reflect who I am and how I want to feel so my confidence grew and I then felt confident enough to try again and so the positive pattern has had a wonderful impact on my style and outlook. Of course I make mistakes still and my style is ever evolving but if you don’t step outside your comfort zone occasionally you will just stagnate and never evolve. Thank you again for your input and support. BTW that jumper looks fabulous on you.
Thank you!! I love that you took some notes. It's all a beautiful experiment, right? As we begin to wear things a bit out of our comfort zone... but aligned with who we want to be... we stretch and change and our authentic style emerges. 💙
I truly love your Chanel 💙 There are several pieces I removed from my closet because they don’t fit. Some of them I donated or sold… but the mindset of going back to my weight keeps me attached to them. When I open the bin and realize one or another is fitting is a great feeling. Hitting menopause in the pandemic was heavy to me 😅 Changes are necessary and actually I am having fun rediscovering a new me.
I love your attitude about it! There's no harm in keeping clothing of various sizes if we tend to have fluctuations in our weight. Without attaching any drama to different sizes fitting at different times, we can simply pull out the clothing that fits in a certain 'season' and pack away what isn't working for our body then. Discovering a new version of ourselves makes getting dressed fun!
In 7th grade my home ec teacher had us think about people whose clothing we admire. I don’t know if it was her word or mine, but tidy was the thing I seemed to admire. I tend to be classic with a love for color and a touch bohemian. Tidy always runs through my thinking. I have been told I am classy and yet brave because I wear color. I love my style and my wardrobe. Ever since 7th grade I have always carefully considered what I wear and what flatters me.
I just recently found your channel, so have been binge watching. This video hit home. About 20 years ago i was standing up for a friend at her wedding. Very small wedding and i had the freedom to wear what i wanted. Long story short - I was looking for a beautiful nice flowing summer dress. Did not feel good in any of the 50+ I tried on 😢 Tried on a fitted classic belted dress and Ifelt like me. Didn't seem very wedding -y - but it was definitely me 😊 Have stayed with the classic look ever since 👍
Hello, Leslie- Thanks for sharing and for watching!! Welcome! I LOVE that you were able to identify what felt authentic for you... even 20 years ago! Bravo! ☺️
I must have my personal style down to a T…frequently I’m told that whatever I’m wearing “looks just like me”. I’m very casual, sometimes a little boho but when I need to”dress up” I’m classic/ tailored.
Why am I only just finding you on RUclips?? This is the best video I have seen on authentic style. Thank you for your generosity in authentic style. By the way the blue sweater looks so amazing on you.
Hi Kristwn! Thank you, thank you, thank you for listening, sharing, encouraging, and inspiring me yesterday. I am so excited to begin! I have not received any Pinterest or Instagram links; I was wondering if you could send them? Yesterday was a very memorable day for so many reasons. Thank you for your beautiful self ❤carrie❤
Marion, I adore you and love how you notice things!! Actually, I have two. 😂 Index finger and thumb on my right hand are red from testing polish at the store and then neglecting to remove it! ❤

Thank you sooo much Kristen. I am learning so much. Your advice is so valuable and spot on.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate your kind words and I'm glad you're here.

And here's me thinking you look beautiful in that rich blue sweater today!
Oh thank you! I do love the color... and it feels like someone else right now. Or maybe the future, brighter version of me! 💙

I love this!! I kinda miss 7th grade home ec!
Such great insights! You have a knack for uncovering the psychological nuances that wreak havoc! Thanks Kristen❣
Thank you! That means so much to me. I truly believe that the psychology of style is just as important as the clothes! Maybe more so! 💕
So glad I found this channel. My authentic style is anything that I can get into on any day.
Welcome! Thank you for watching.
To borrow from you Kristen, that color truly LIGHTS YOU UP!
😉 Thank you! I do love the color, it just feels more like my mom than like me. 💙

Kristen why do you have one red nail? Is this something I’m missing out on? 💞
