Wow, perfectly explained Melissa!! Thank you! I know “understand” my body more than I ever have…feeling like I don’t need to be in “battle” with my body now!!
Thank you Melissa. I am 57 years old and have recently lost a lot of weight. As I am developing a new wardrobe for my new shape, I am loving your advice and practical style ideas. I keep reminding myself to buy for my lifestyle!! I’m getting into neutrals for the first time and enjoying dressing again. It’s now fun again to look in my wardrobe and find lots of things that I can mix and match. Thanks again and keep on doing what you’re doing- it is invaluable. Xx
Hey Cheryl, I am in the exact same situation! 57 and lost a bunch of weight! I am having so much fun putting together outfits again. Congratulations to you!
Just this week I had a personal styling session with Melissa. She really knows her stuff - I had a great time! As someone who has had a tough 3 years and hates clothes shopping, Melissa made it fun and relevant I have come away with a completely new wardrobe and also with the confidence to face whatever the future may hold. Melissa, thank you from the bottom of my heart - you are one special lady x
Massive thank you Melissa, Really find your styling advice inspirational. For health reasons I am currently loosing weight but you have give me confidence with styling to disguise and highlight my body shape. I really believe you could have your own program on TV, you are so much better than any stylist I have ever watched! You come across very warm,natural and sincere. Im looking to seeing more shopping trips too, also love your Monty and house decor!
Oh, I LOVED this. Thank you! The best part about it is the combination of show (you show the clothes, and you try some on) with tell (you explain what body types the outfit would be good on and also why). Absolutely brilliant. I am in the US but will be back in the UK in late November and a trip to Zara is definitely on my list (the blazers! the coats!). Thank you again--you have a unique perspective that is not found elsewhere here on YT. Also, I like the term "booby." :)
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that. You can buy Zara in the states (just in case you were unaware) and I’ve written the product code numbers on the descriptions so if you’re outside of the uk you can easily find them. X
I just love your videos. I find shopping overwhelming and intimidating-I generally walk into a shop, do a quick lap then walk out because I just don’t know where to begin. I feel like I had such great style in my 20’s and 30’s and I used to love shopping. Now at 53 I feel like I have lost my way. I love your style and so appreciate your practical advice to putting things together.
I’ve recently discovered you and I have to say how refreshing it is to find someone who talks absolute sense to me. I am from the UK but have lived in South Africa for many years. We have Zara, H & M etc so I can really relate to what you’re saying. I’m 61 and my shape is very similar to yours except I’m only 5’1” so you will appreciate the difficulties I’ve had my whole life, trying to create longer looking legs. Keep these videos coming, I’ve learnt such a lot. Thank you so much.
It’s with mixed emotions that I watch your videos, similar to reading a good book. Eagerly awaiting each one, then disappointed as it draws to a close knowing I’ll have to wait again. Thank you, I find them very informative. Learning lots. Looking forward to pear shaped styling. Please could we have more - more often.
Thank you! Part 2 will be up in a couple of days then I’ve got an hourglass model to put up. I’m not actually an influencer so my full time job is that of a stylist so I’m physically with clients 3 days a week and then doing online styling for 2 so I have to do these videos as and when I can squeeze them in and they take bloody ages to film, edit and upload! If more people subscribe then I can start to shift the balance and do more videos but for now I have to stick with what pays the bills I’m afraid!!! I promise I’ll upload as many and as often as I can though. Thank you for your support x
The session at a Zara store and trying the items on was super helpful. Showing what would be complimentary for body shapes with a larger core is great! Thank you!
I love how honest and practical you are about articles of clothing, like with the first long coat - "you can get it to look nice for an Instagram photo" but it doesn't work that oversized for normal everyday wear. Thanks so much, it's so helpful!! You are the best.
Melissa, you are simply amazing! You make it seem so easy to look modern and put together. Thank you, for sharing all your knowledge. I am so happy that I stumbled upon your channel and glad to see your following is increasing.
Another great video Melissa👏 I, like others, always struggle with Zara’s website images. You really do have a great eye for choosing pieces that suit the normally sized woman along with your advice on styling with existing items you may already own, invaluable ! I have recently purchased some neutral basics and I’m already using more of my existing wardrobe. Thank you and well done on your first ‘shop with me’ ❤️
Hi Melissa Thank you so much for sharing your shopping with us. I was encouraged by you pointing out what not to buy for a big stomach!! Please do point out these when you are shopping. Very useful to me. Many thanks. You are great. X
Oh my gosh, this makes me want to run out to Zara! My absolute favorite place to shop. They have the BEST sales. I agree that the website can be very intimidating if you're not used to shopping. Great job with the camera! Those boots with the gold chain!!!! What a great deal too!!
Welcome Diane! Thank you for subscribing. If you hit my logo it should show you al of my other videos. They all focus on dressing for your body shape and lifestyle and creating a capsule wardrobe. Please fell free to comment if you have any questions.
I will try - there's often lots going on, holding the camera, styling etc., so sometimes it's just not possible to do everything at the same time but I will make an effort to try. Thanks for watching x
Fabulous as always and great to see how you pick up classic and timeless items in Zara. Vlog was excellent for your first time so be proud! Would be lovely to see what you bought and how you styled with your existing capsule wardrobe. Hugs to Monty x
Thanks Karen. I didn’t actually buy anything at the time as I had to shop for 3 clients straight after filming and had all their clothes to carry around but I’ll put an order in and let you know what I get. X
I loved this style of video !! I found this incredibly helpful, most especially, when you mentioned for who’s body type a certain piece would work for or not. Would love more Buford like that! Thank you Melissa for taking one for the team- and putting your self out there with camera and talking 😘😘
Love the video!!!! Have to admit when I saw the patterned dress on the hanger I was shaking my head. But once I saw it on you I LOVED IT. Shows you how important it is to try things on! Thank you again. Love your videos looking forward to more,
Another great piece of content. Please keep making these useful and interesting videos. I agree with some other comments that you looked better in the clothes than the website images x
Thanks for this - was really great seeing the comparison to the Zara website pictures and how the clothes look on a real person! Really great having the recommendations on body shapes for each piece. Loved the patterned dress and I would pick that too and then worry about the length ! Keep the videos coming 🥰
You are adorable and love your content detailing . Thank you for trying on all the pieces. I love Zara but find it very difficult to shop their site so this was super helpful.
These videos are so helpful! Especially as I have to order online and have no idea of the sizing! I love your classic approachable everyday style and have learned so much from your videos! Thank you for sharing your expertise!
I LOVED this video as well. I really appreciated that you pointed out which body type the pieces would look good or bad on. It's very helpful. Thank you so much!!
Looks amazing Melissa so much better seeing them on you, most clothes don't look good on the hangers so thank you... I feel a Zara shopping trip coming on..
Hi Melissa, great content. I really enjoyed that. Following our consultation I have been busy shopping and knowing what I am looking for has definitely put a spring in my step! Thank you 🙏 x
Thank you Susie, that's really nice of you to say so. I think I need a little more self belief. I 100% believe in my styling ability but being a 'presenter' on youtube is definitely another story!!!
Love love love this style of video Melissa, thank you! You’ve picked some lovely pieces and explained ways to style which really helps me when deciding whether to go for something or not. I also love that vest with the shoulder pads, and that animal print skirt would be a great addition to my wardrobe 👌☺️ can’t wait for part 2! 💕 xx
Live your videos and advice. Really liked the floral dress, I’m nearly 50 and I’m going to get it! Would not have looked at it on the hanger. You looked fabulous in it
Hi Melissa - I enjoyed seeing how you tried on and styled and explained what body type it would work on and how to make it work! Most pieces looked great on you!! Thank you!!
Hi Melissa, I am really inspired by this video, thank you. I have some similar items from previous seasons and you have shown how to update them for 2022. Please do more!!
I really enjoyed the shopping trip. By all means, just getting to see what colors and trends are coming up is so helpful in making my wardrobe decisions. Thank you so much.
Thanks for another amazing video Melissa! Thanks to you I've completely overhauled my wardrobe this past month (hit the sales hard!) and I'm actually enjoying dressing again! I feel confident and no longer open my wardrobe and wonder what to wear. You've pushed me out of my comfort zone and I'm wearing clothes I'd never have picked before but absolutely love ❤ You're an absolute treasure, thank you!! Ooh and I see you have an hourglass next for the masterclass...that's me! Can't wait! 💕 xx
I love that Cheryl, good for you. Everything I do is ultimately about building confidence so I love that it’s encouraged you to try new things and I bet you look fabulous for it, we’ll done. Yes, an hourglass next (albeit a 6Ft tall one!) and part 2 of my shopping trip to follow in a few days also x
Greetings from Los Angeles! I love dressing room try-ones with commentary like yours. People trash Zara for being fast fashion, but some of my oldest and most worn pieces are from there. If you take care of your items, they can easily outlast higher-priced garments. That white top at the end looked fantastic on you.
I agree Karen, i love Zara for the fact that you can buy timeless classics as we;; as modern fashion pieces. i'm going to buy that last white top, I just couldn't grab it at the time as I had to go and shop for 3 clients and needed free hands! Thanks for watching x
Great video & I thought the floral dress looked better on you than on the model. I always find it difficult to see the clothing properly on the Zara website so I tend not to purchase online & the closest store is over an hour away. It was a great video & it was good to see the clothes modelled in a ‘normal’ way especially with your advice on who it would suit & how to style. I’d love more the like this either from Zara or from other stores. Thank you!
I really LOVED this video a lot! Thanks for showing the different styling options. I really love your channel a lot, you have a lovely personality and help me a lot to get my style defined better. Thanks also for the links to the products, I ended up in ordering 10 of your suggested pieces from ZARA's online shop, something I never do normally. But the pieces all look very promising and I am really excited for the parcel to arrive. THANKS for being such a great guidance and inspiration!
Another very good video! I LOVED those black jeans, but to be honest, I am intimidated to even try on a pair of Zara jeans, especially anything that flares. I think they make my short legs look even shorter. For years, I have been wearing the same few pairs of skinny jeans, which are comfortable but past their prime. I would love a video from you on how to shop for and wear jeans!
@@mmpersonalstyling thank you, found it! Brilliant! I'm same size as you but a little shorter and rounder. This helped me understand the issues I have with fitting jeans--always the tight-ish thighs but gapping waist. I'll just have to be more adventurous about trying on different styles and brands.
Brilliant. Loved the clothes you picked. I am only 5ft tall and size 8/10 pear shaped and find your tips for styling inspirational. The fact that you are not a 6ft tall size 6 model really helps because I find shopping online difficult. Thank you.
I love these videos. Living more than hour drive from any high st stores you bring them to me instead and it’s really helpful. I’m also 5ft 3 so can relate to everything you try on. It means buying online becomes easier
I LOVE your approach. great show n tell. Im currently in the xl-xxl range, so i truly appreciate that you include information for us …not so tiny ladies. thank you so much ❣️
I love it how you not only film pieces of clothing, but explain how they can be styled! Thank you! Please keep doing videos like this. If you could possibly also mention the fabric content (what % cotton, % viscose etc.) it’d be fantastic.
Another excellent video. I so look forward to your videos, so helpful and informative. I’ve need working on building a capsule wardrobe based on your advice and I’ve been very drawn to your Reiss pieces lately. Looking forward to part 2 of this series…..thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience xx
Hello! Good video! The store was impressive, clean ,organized and was good that you showed the prices of the items. The Zara store in New Jersey, USA , does not have the selection you have in United Kingdom . I really do enjoy your videos. I have taken your advice to put the top inside the shirt/ pants, tucking it in the middle of the pants/ skirt. It was a positive look. Thanks👍😊
I came across one of your videos talking about styling an “apple shape” and now I am hooked ! I just love watching you and I am learning so much! Before this video, I checked out Zara’s website and thought…..ugh, those clothes are not for me. Now after watching this, I see it so differently. Thank you so much for this video! I will continue watching!
It was SO embarrassing but hey ho, I just need to get over myself!!! Glad the embarrassment was worth it for everyone and thank you for your encouragement xx
Loved this video. Loved that you tried on the clothes and gave advice about body type and how to wear the pieces. Recently found your channel and I love it.
Really love the explanations and advice. Could you mention what would suit a dark haired, blue eyes fair skinned person if you ever remember? I need all the help that I can get. Thank you 💕
I’ll try but in all honesty it’s hard to be so specific when filming. I do online consultations if that helps where I can assess every element of your styling, colours etc? All the details are on my website. X
I've watched a lot of these types of video and I really like this one because of your tips on body shape, and showing us the pic of you next to the Zara website one. Please do more
Thank you so much for the video - It was so helpful and I am going to but some of the pieces right now. You are great and so talented - please keep the videos coming!
Hi Melissa ... that was so helpful... loved it .. never know what size to order from Zara ! I’m around a 12 so usually large but not always 😫🤣... so tricky .. would love to see more videos like this 👌... loved the black flares with gold buttons .. I’m thinking large for me but you never know .. they looked fab on you .. have a wonderful weekend ( cold and windy in London ) .. love Pauline x
Loved this!!! Brilliant to see items on someone of my height and not the bean pole models on zara website. Hate that website which is unfortunate as no Zara in my town. Everything looks fab on you! Thanks for this.❤
I love your videos - I’m a similar height and size and can really relate to all your suggestions - it’s so helpful to have options for fuller bust etc. Thank you!
Melissa a great selection of clothing and loved the critiques. I live in Perth Australia, our seasons are different and Zara doesn’t always carry the same items you guys get in the UK. But I love what will hit our stores next spring/summer. Your styling is great.
Thanks Melissa 💗 the video. Great idea video shopping in store. Fantastic advice on clothes for certain shape and reminding us how to make things work for us. In the real world and our life style. I am learning so much and love getting dressed now even to just go to Tesco!!🤣🤣 Look forward to to part 2 👏🏻👏🏻😊😊👍🏼x
This was great. Great tips. My wardrobe is full of Zara pieces. I actually bought the pink jumper with the gold buttons the other day. Which Zara shop did you go to?
Another great video! I LOVE how you explain everything, so even a regular ol’ person like me can pick out, and style an outfit like a professional. You are a truly gifted person. So happy I stumbled onto your channel a while back. I check in almost daily to see if you have any new videos… I was SO excited when I saw that little dot next to your channel in my subscription tab!!!! New MM video, woohoooo!!!! LOL… Please keep them coming! ❤️
Loved the video and that you tried on some of the items and explained which body shapes they suit, very informative! I’m 69 this week but your choice of clothes are timeless! Look forward to your advice for oblong /pillar shaped bodies. I have been following your videos for a short time and find them very inspiring....thank you!
I really like you Melissa, as you state you are so relatable to the everyday woman, very candid with fantastic tips & for the everyday purse . Thank you, new subscriber 🇬🇧xxxx
Hi Melissa, that was a good shop in Zara, I want to go shopping! You do make wearing clothes enjoyable, I like the way you put things together. Thank you.
Thank you for this video which for me just conforms my love-hate relationship with Zara. I found your comments and observations in terms of what items would and wouldn’t work with different body shapes really helpful.
Thank you so much for always explaining everything in so much detail for us to clearly understand. You always put so much effort into your videos and I hope your channel grows and grows because you really deserve it. Xx
So nice of you to say that, thank you. I notice that my videos are longer than others so I keep thinking that i'm talking too much but it would seem like people enjoy the explanations which is good!
Great video! I don’t consider myself ‘shopping averse’ but must admit Zara scares me! I recently bought a cream jumper, like the pink one you showed, after seeing you wearing it on your channel. Very pleased with it - especially for the price. But great to see your take on the various trends.
I just got a LOT in the Zara sale. I find their usual prices hard to stomach when I’m used to getting things for 80% off. I absolutely love all their colourful suits at the moment. That green Manteco coat was gorgeous
Love this, even though I seldom buy anything other than an occasional coat/jacket and a few basic sweaters from Zara. I am from the US, fairly new to your channel (loving it, too) and just about ready to begin decluttering my closet. If I wanted to consider styling services, when in the decluttering process should I begin?... I'll try to find that answer in one of your previous videos and/or may contact you soon regarding details. 💫
Hello Melisha. Thank you for watching. I do online styling consultations over zoom if that helps. If you head over to my website (www.mmpersonalstyling.co.uk/services) you'll find all the details. Many thanks x
Wow, perfectly explained Melissa!!
Thank you!
I know “understand” my body more than I ever have…feeling like I don’t need to be in “battle” with my body now!!
I love how you consider a variety of shapes and sizes!
Love how u explained what body shape would work with the item
Thank you Melissa. I am 57 years old and have recently lost a lot of weight. As I am developing a new wardrobe for my new shape, I am loving your advice and practical style ideas. I keep reminding myself to buy for my lifestyle!! I’m getting into neutrals for the first time and enjoying dressing again. It’s now fun again to look in my wardrobe and find lots of things that I can mix and match. Thanks again and keep on doing what you’re doing- it is invaluable. Xx
Hey Cheryl, I am in the exact same situation! 57 and lost a bunch of weight! I am having so much fun putting together outfits again. Congratulations to you!
Same here...69 yrs old, 60 lbs down...new wardrobe too....this is now fun

Agreed 💯
I second this! I feel like I could have written this comment too.
Zara supports fast fashion. Please stop promoting them. I like your advice, but not your store selection.
Thank you. I find I'm really enjoying watching you.
Thank you Mary, really nice of you to say so, thank you for watching x

This is such a fun format! Please do more shop with me videos. Feels like a day out with a very fashionable friend! 😉
Thank you, part 2 should be up tomorrow if I get a chance to edit it! X

Looks amazing Melissa so much better seeing them on you, most clothes don't look good on the hangers so thank you... I feel a Zara shopping trip coming on..

If you take care of your items, they can easily outlast higher-priced garments. That white top at the end looked fantastic on you.
I agree Karen, i love Zara for the fact that you can buy timeless classics as we;; as modern fashion pieces. i'm going to buy that last white top, I just couldn't grab it at the time as I had to go and shop for 3 clients and needed free hands! Thanks for watching x
Loved that. Really encourages me to look at things differently that usual. I loved that jumpsuit.
So glad!
Great video & I thought the floral dress looked better on you than on the model. I always find it difficult to see the clothing properly on the Zara website so I tend not to purchase online & the closest store is over an hour away. It was a great video & it was good to see the clothes modelled in a ‘normal’ way especially with your advice on who it would suit & how to style. I’d love more the like this either from Zara or from other stores. Thank you!
Thanks Kim. Part 2 is from Other Stories and Reiss, it should be up in a couple of days time. X
I really LOVED this video a lot! Thanks for showing the different styling options. I really love your channel a lot, you have a lovely personality and help me a lot to get my style defined better. Thanks also for the links to the products, I ended up in ordering 10 of your suggested pieces from ZARA's online shop, something I never do normally. But the pieces all look very promising and I am really excited for the parcel to arrive. THANKS for being such a great guidance and inspiration!
Oh wow, that’s brilliant Ella, fingers crossed you like them! X
Another very good video! I LOVED those black jeans, but to be honest, I am intimidated to even try on a pair of Zara jeans, especially anything that flares. I think they make my short legs look even shorter. For years, I have been wearing the same few pairs of skinny jeans, which are comfortable but past their prime. I would love a video from you on how to shop for and wear jeans!
Hello Susan. There is a jeans video on there but it from last year. I'll do a updated one at some point for this year. x
@@mmpersonalstyling thank you, found it! Brilliant! I'm same size as you but a little shorter and rounder. This helped me understand the issues I have with fitting jeans--always the tight-ish thighs but gapping waist. I'll just have to be more adventurous about trying on different styles and brands.
Brilliant. Loved the clothes you picked. I am only 5ft tall and size 8/10 pear shaped and find your tips for styling inspirational. The fact that you are not a 6ft tall size 6 model really helps because I find shopping online difficult. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
I LOVED this video! I'm 5'2" with a belly and your styling tips have been soooooo helpful!
Awesome! Thank you!
Love your content, can you do a series for specifically petite women? What’s flattering, what to or not to do etc. ❤️❤️
I already have - here's the link ruclips.net/video/d12vQqib5hU/видео.html
I love these videos. Living more than hour drive from any high st stores you bring them to me instead and it’s really helpful. I’m also 5ft 3 so can relate to everything you try on. It means buying online becomes easier
Same here, my closest shopping centre is 1 hr 20 mins away (which is a nightmare with my job!!) so I buy online most of the time too
I LOVE your approach. great show n tell. Im currently in the xl-xxl range, so i truly appreciate that you include information for us …not so tiny ladies. thank you so much ❣️
Glad to help!
Great to help sort through. The Zara collections. So much on the website I get overwhelmed please do more like this
I love it how you not only film pieces of clothing, but explain how they can be styled! Thank you! Please keep doing videos like this. If you could possibly also mention the fabric content (what % cotton, % viscose etc.) it’d be fantastic.
I will try x
Loved this Melissa, so good going shopping with you.
So informative and you looked great in everything.
😍
great video please do more like this Melissa, its really helpful for those who order online and cant get to the store.
Will do!! Part 2 is coming soon x
This video was clearly lots of work to do, but so helpful. Thank you!
You're very welcome! It's all worth it if it's helping you ladies xx
Another excellent video. I so look forward to your videos, so helpful and informative. I’ve need working on building a capsule wardrobe based on your advice and I’ve been very drawn to your Reiss pieces lately. Looking forward to part 2 of this series…..thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and experience xx
Part 2 is in Reiss so that should be good for yourself then! X
Hello! Good video! The store was impressive, clean ,organized and was good that you showed the prices of the items. The Zara store in New Jersey, USA , does not have the selection you have in United Kingdom . I really do enjoy your videos. I have taken your advice to put the top inside the shirt/ pants, tucking it in the middle of the pants/ skirt. It was a positive look. Thanks👍😊
I came across one of your videos talking about styling an “apple shape” and now I am hooked ! I just love watching you and I am learning so much! Before this video, I checked out Zara’s website and thought…..ugh, those clothes are not for me. Now after watching this, I see it so differently. Thank you so much for this video! I will continue watching!
Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words. x
Loved your shopping video, as well as telling us you felt a bit self conscious.....very down to earth , Melissa 😊
It was SO embarrassing but hey ho, I just need to get over myself!!! Glad the embarrassment was worth it for everyone and thank you for your encouragement xx
A fantastic come shop with me, well done and I look forward to more. Lovely pieces with lots of variety. Really enjoy your videos 😀
Many thanks! Thanks for watching x
Loved this video. Loved that you tried on the clothes and gave advice about body type and how to wear the pieces. Recently found your channel and I love it.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching. Part 2 coming as soon as I get a chance to edit it!
Hello! Loved all your finds! Can I please ask where your lovely cream coat is from that you wore with the stripe jumper? Thanks so much ☺️
It’s from jigsaw and it’s currently in the sale! X
Really love the explanations and advice. Could you mention what would suit a dark haired, blue eyes fair skinned person if you ever remember? I need all the help that I can get. Thank you 💕
I’ll try but in all honesty it’s hard to be so specific when filming. I do online consultations if that helps where I can assess every element of your styling, colours etc? All the details are on my website. X
Well done . This was fabulous and so helpful . I’m very glad to have recently discovered you . Please do more of this style of video👏
I've watched a lot of these types of video and I really like this one because of your tips on body shape, and showing us the pic of you next to the Zara website one. Please do more
Thank you so much for the video - It was so helpful and I am going to but some of the pieces right now. You are great and so talented - please keep the videos coming!
Nicely done. I really like how you personalize the looks for different body types.
THANK YOU!! So glad I've found you xx
Hi Melissa ... that was so helpful... loved it .. never know what size to order from Zara ! I’m around a 12 so usually large but not always 😫🤣... so tricky .. would love to see more videos like this 👌... loved the black flares with gold buttons .. I’m thinking large for me but you never know .. they looked fab on you .. have a wonderful weekend ( cold and windy in London ) .. love Pauline x
You too Pauline and thanks for watching. X
Loved this!!! Brilliant to see items on someone of my height and not the bean pole models on zara website. Hate that website which is unfortunate as no Zara in my town. Everything looks fab on you! Thanks for this.❤
Given their sizing can be so hit and Miss you’re better buying online and returning anyway. Plus there’s more choice online. X
That was very helpful. I enjoyed shopping with you and hearing your comments.
I love your videos - I’m a similar height and size and can really relate to all your suggestions - it’s so helpful to have options for fuller bust etc.
Thank you!
Melissa a great selection of clothing and loved the critiques. I live in Perth Australia, our seasons are different and Zara doesn’t always carry the same items you guys get in the UK. But I love what will hit our stores next spring/summer. Your styling is great.
Thank you Nikki, i appreciate it. x
Thanks Melissa 💗 the video. Great idea video shopping in store. Fantastic advice on clothes for certain shape and reminding us how to make things work for us. In the real world and our life style. I am learning so much and love getting dressed now even to just go to Tesco!!🤣🤣 Look forward to to part 2 👏🏻👏🏻😊😊👍🏼x
Glad you liked it!! Thank you for watching x
I loved this. My favorite so far.
This was great. Great tips. My wardrobe is full of Zara pieces. I actually bought the pink jumper with the gold buttons the other day. Which Zara shop did you go to?
I was in Oxford that day…
Another great video! I LOVE how you explain everything, so even a regular ol’ person like me can pick out, and style an outfit like a professional. You are a truly gifted person. So happy I stumbled onto your channel a while back. I check in almost daily to see if you have any new videos… I was SO excited when I saw that little dot next to your channel in my subscription tab!!!! New MM video, woohoooo!!!! LOL… Please keep them coming! ❤️
Thanks Holly - I’ll try!
Loved the video and that you tried on some of the items and explained which body shapes they suit, very informative! I’m 69 this week but your choice of clothes are timeless! Look forward to your advice for oblong /pillar shaped bodies. I have been following your videos for a short time and find them very inspiring....thank you!
Hi Lorraine have you seen the body shape master class episode 4 - she was very rectangular through the mid section, it might help. Thanks x
@@mmpersonalstyling t
Thank you so much Melissa, I will check it out.
You’re fantastic, thank you for the shopping tour and all the tips and trix. Love all your content. Please take us with you on more shopping event!
Will do - part 2 in Reiss and Other Stories will be up soon.
That was fabulous. So informative and very useful. Hope you do a lot more of these 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I loved the video!!!! Your tips are so ‘normal’ and ‘real’!! Thank you
You're more than welcome x
I really like you Melissa, as you state you are so relatable to the everyday woman, very candid with fantastic tips & for the everyday purse . Thank you, new subscriber 🇬🇧xxxx
Thank you Carole, that’s so nice of you. Watch out for the new video today - what I wore in a week but tweaked for different body shapes!
I loved it!! You explain everything really well keep up the good job!!
Hi Melissa, that was a good shop in Zara, I want to go shopping!
You do make wearing clothes enjoyable, I like the way you put things together. Thank you.
Loved this style of video - great to see someone similar age and shape giving me such great advice and ideas. Thank you 🙏
You're so welcome! x
Thank you for this video which for me just conforms my love-hate relationship with Zara. I found your comments and observations in terms of what items would and wouldn’t work with different body shapes really helpful.
I'm so glad!
Thank you so much for always explaining everything in so much detail for us to clearly understand. You always put so much effort into your videos and I hope your channel grows and grows because you really deserve it. Xx
So nice of you to say that, thank you. I notice that my videos are longer than others so I keep thinking that i'm talking too much but it would seem like people enjoy the explanations which is good!
I liked this style of video, it was fun. Looking forward to part 2. Thank you.
As soon as it's edited i'll get it up! x
Great video! I don’t consider myself ‘shopping averse’ but must admit Zara scares me! I recently bought a cream jumper, like the pink one you showed, after seeing you wearing it on your channel. Very pleased with it - especially for the price. But great to see your take on the various trends.
Thank you Caroline x
I just got a LOT in the Zara sale. I find their usual prices hard to stomach when I’m used to getting things for 80% off. I absolutely love all their colourful suits at the moment. That green Manteco coat was gorgeous
I agree, gorgeous coat and i've just brought a bright pink suit so it looks like we have similar taste! Thanks for watching x
Love this, even though I seldom buy anything other than an occasional coat/jacket and a few basic sweaters from Zara. I am from the US, fairly new to your channel (loving it, too) and just about ready to begin decluttering my closet. If I wanted to consider styling services, when in the decluttering process should I begin?... I'll try to find that answer in one of your previous videos and/or may contact you soon regarding details. 💫
Hello Melisha. Thank you for watching. I do online styling consultations over zoom if that helps. If you head over to my website (www.mmpersonalstyling.co.uk/services) you'll find all the details. Many thanks x
