I agree on high rise jeans. I’ve never liked them because they never looked or fit right. My issue is I’m tall with a long rise. When I finally found a pair where the high rise was high enough, I realized how flattering they can be.
Exactly me! I have a long rise - 13-14” lol. When stores call 10” high rise I know it’s not for me. Madewell is the highest rise I’ve found at a reasonable price point.
@@mmclennon thank you for the recommendation. Was picking up something at the mall and saw the madewell jeans in the vintage style with a 14 inch rise…they actually made it to my waist so naturally I bought them!
You are spot on with your color analysis-your tips and the amount of examples you provide make understanding the concepts much easier. Thank you for illustrating in so much depth. Thanks for all your hard work! It is appreciated.
You really put quite a bit of work and thought into this video. Thank you. My favorite is the color part. I am very interested in the science of colors. I like to wear desaturated and also cool colors.
Great video, Val! I haven' t written comments for a while because there is a lot going on in my life, but I am still watching. Love from Germany as always!
Since following yourself, Alyssa Beltempo and Lauren McKinney, I have learnt about outfit proportions and how to tuck. It’s been really helpful, thank you!
I liked your first oversized shirt over on the wide leg trouser look haha😂, but i like oversized things in general, but ive also learnt that proportional dressing is a sure fire way to dress well, but not the only way, its good to know about proportions for when you feel lost under a tent of fabric and youre not feeling like you have the energy on a particular day to carry the oversized look that day
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your journey. I’ve been through a similar journey (without the children) and I think like you I’m casual at heart. I work from home but wear a company shirt and sometimes need to do Manila labor so they need to be rugged, but my Pinterest board is covered in blazers, resort wear, and fantasy self clothes. I’m trying to embrace my casual style and just make an effort to put together better fitting clothes with more intention.
Thanks so much Sharon, I'm so glad you liked it!! 😁

I have the same problem with high-waisted pants. They always hit me too low and not at my actual waist. So now that I know this, I'm able to look specifically for pants that have an extra high rise! Funny how small technical details that we never really pay attention to, make a big difference!
I have this same issue! Levi’s ribcage jeans work well for me- I like the cropped straight leg- I think the cut is super comfortable and flattering, and the inseam works as the perfect “petite” full-length (28 inches). Also, vintage bottoms tend to have a much higher rise than modern sizes- vintage trousers are my go-to for “dressy / workwear” bottoms!
outfits formula that works for you really has changed how I shopping!! I discovered that by myself and wonder why that outfit looks better than this. since then, I keep buying the same silhouette and keep the formula until I'm bored. but tbh I will continue wearing regardless cuz what makes you looking good, should keep as it was
This is such a perfect overview of core styling concepts! 🤩 Lots of great reminders and some ideas I haven’t considered/heard before- thank you! 😊❤️ I especially love the idea of dipping into someone else’s closet to test out different colors before buying anything! 👏 My husband is much more adventurous with color than I currently am 😂, so his wardrobe will be very helpful in this regard! 👍👍 The cool, darker green looks so rich and complimentary on you compared to the warm, lighter green! Your eyes and hair stand out much more, and your skin and teeth are brighter! 😍 I also love that you mention the fact that you can just as easily choose to go AGAINST popular styling concepts as well, since they are just ideas / starting-points and shouldn’t be considered as “rules”! 👏 Amazing video -As always!- Thank you again, and I hope all is well with you and your family! 🤗
I love the green button down! 😍 so cute even though it is your husband's! Your videos is always so pleasant to watch! I likes all the tips! I am 5 3 😁 so I identify jeans shopping can be difficult! It has always been frustrating 😒 to see pants I love but has to alter them because WAY TOO LONG!! just the other day bought BANNANA REPUBLIC gray dress pants that fit perfect *except length* in excellent condition for $10! Sometimes I think it is worth it to hem the bottoms on nice long lasting quality pieces! 👌 I loved how to gave examples of outfit formulas and how it can play into shopping to play into saving money!!
@@ValKovalchuk tailor for $15 because have no clue how to do a quality job myself which I why I try to find pants for petites when possible! It would be so helpful including thifts shops if they had a petite section of the store for easier shopping!
Such a helpful video! Thank you for modeling each tip and adding extra information about brands and styles. I tend to give up on finding the right fit because my body shape is challenging.
Colours were a huge change for me. I am a winter (brighter cool tones). You are so correct Val, you can wear any colour just the correct shade will be more flattering, I look tired and unwell in some colours. A very new thing for me is the rise of jeans/trousers. I would wear midrise because I am short waisted (petite hourglass). However, recently I tried an ecru straight leg high rise and was over the moon with how they hit at exactly the right spot for my very defined waist. I was so excited, so now I will look for jeans and trousers with that same rise as they are just so comfortable 😄 Great video, thank you 💗
I love your channel! It is so refreshing. As a mom of 4 under 6, it has been a struggle to create a wardrobe for myself that I feel good in and looks fashionable. Thank you for the inspiration! 😊
What are some styling skills you wish you knew sooner? 😊
I wish I knew to follow my instincts on having a “style uniform” and honing in on my aesthetic 😇
@@tigrezz0852 love that!
Cool green on you looks better!
It really does, right? ☺️
All important style basics in one video! 🤗 This is must to watch for everyone! 👏
Thank you! I’d love it if you shared it with someone! 😁😁

Yes, I’m so glad you found ones that finally work for you! 😊
Exactly me! I have a long rise - 13-14” lol. When stores call 10” high rise I know it’s not for me. Madewell is the highest rise I’ve found at a reasonable price point.
Same here! The Everlane Rigid Way High jeans are also good (12.5” rise) although they still hit slightly below my waist.

Thanks Lia! Yes color is so fascinating for me too! 😁
I love the white baggy shirt look x
that cool vs warm green really showed on you! Wow! Your skin looks clearer with the cool green
Yeah I totally agree! 😁
I agree with you on the colors: the cooler tones are more flattering on you but you can still wear both if you feel like it!😊
Yes I agree! 😁😁
Great video, Val! I haven' t written comments for a while because there is a lot going on in my life, but I am still watching. Love from Germany as always!
Aw hi Lissy!! I missed your comments, hope all is well ❤️
Such a great video ☺️. I don't usually comment but just had to say this was super helpful.
Aw I’m so glad you commented Deva, it means a lot! 😁😁

Thanks Val, this video was so helpful.

Wow Val! This was so helpful. I think those was one of your best videos yet
Aw thanks so much! I put a lot of effort into it 😁😁
Appreciate all the simple yet great advice about looking effortlessly put together and feeling fantastic in my clothes !
Thank you 😁😁
I would love to see a video about sewing your own clothes! I loved the first pants you styled!
Yes I really need to sew something again soon!
Have you already seen the video that I made sharing my handmade wardrobe?
@@ValKovalchuk Yes! I'd be interested to see a video where you show how you choose fabric, a pattern, etc. Maybe a "sew with me" type video?
Such a helpful video! Thank you for modeling each tip and adding extra information about brands and styles. I tend to give up on finding the right fit because my body shape is challenging.
You're so welcome! And don't give up, you deserve to feel great in your clothes 🥰🥰
❤️Love all these tips Val! Great video, nicely done:)
Thank you!

@@ValKovalchuk Me too😊 😉
Which brand are your jeans from? I’m also petite, hourglass and short torso 😇
Madewell jeans also had standard, tall, and petite, plus sizes- as well as curvy option. Love their jeans.
Yes, thanks for sharing!!
Thank you, Val for another great video! I allways learn smth new. It's great that yourself showed examples for everything! It helps a lot!
