I am from coastal South Carolina and everybody has worn these clothes forever in Charleston. I've never been to the hamptons or anywhere in that northern area.
Yes, South Carolina is my dream location. It is a point of origin where all people in my life have come from. I love you all's style, both in dressing and decorating. Lucky you!
You have such a relaxed and friendly manner. Really lovely to watch you and as a fellow silver girl it's wonderful to pick up tips on what makes the hair pop! Thank you
Oh thank you, Sally! You are so kind! Thank you for stopping by and yes, I often look at myself in these videos where I can easily compare the different colors and outfits and realize THAT is a good color combination with my hair. Thank you for being here!
You are just too cute! Loved the look and most of the outfits and you wear it all well. Definitely all Summer wear for those of us in cooler climes. It’s time for sweaters, layering and putting away the sandals for us here. Keep doing this work. You are lovely
You are the best, Gina. It is so nice to hear your encouraging words. RUclips is so huge, and we often wonder if our jobs are being appreciated. I am humbled that someone who does not even need my content (weather wise) takes the time to both watch it and leave such sweet note. Thank you so much!!!
Wow, Wow, Wow! Love these looks on you! The neutrals, the stripes and just the cool styling ease of them all. You are becoming a beautiful fashionista my friend and it looks good! Love the shades, the hat & of course your fabulous hair♥️♥️♥️
I am such a fan of this aesthetic and I love that it’s a big trend right now. Timeless, easy, and as you say, accessible! You look so super gorgeous. Love this video! 😍
Thank you, Beth! I started watching Gilmore Girls (FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER), which came out in the early 2000's, and I could spot some of the trend in those New Englanders Ivy Leaguers... I'm craving fall. So I make my favorite fall tea, turn the AC way down and watch a couple of episodes after dinner every night... I'm enjoying my pretend autumn and it is not even September yet. LOL
You're the first person I've seen this season who's straw hat has suited her! Your hat is really becoming on you. It not only fits your head, but is complementary to your face & frame! Thanks for making this Coastal Grandmother Texas look!!
@Bethany Wenger Wow. Great feedback and YES why didn't I think of that being that royalty is always wearing hats. I will look them up. Is there anyone channel in particular you would recommend, Bethany?
heheheh Thanks!!! I get compliments daily (specially from the kids) and some of the moms trying to grow them out. Yes, Front Door Fashion does an amazing job putting these boxes together for me. Bethany, my stylist, is a genius! If you want to watch several of the boxes she has styled, take a look at this: ruclips.net/p/PLrHU4lU15kAklVW8m2AtsOLD-lRI1t9i1 I've learned so much from her. Thank you for being here!
You’re beautiful and I love your hair and style! I hope I age as gracefully as you. (Not saying you’re “old” cause you’re not plus you look better than most women in their 30s!!!)
Go to a fabric store. Look at coastal fabric books. Have your favourite shirtwaister dress made up by a seamstress with upholstery fabric. Prewash fabric on a 40 degree wash and tumble dry before sewing. It will be your favourite garment ever. Bespoke CG as it were!!!!!
I'm in the Phoenix area, right now 100 plus, dew points 70, plus. The white jeans, with the striped v sweater is perfection. Peach button up with turquoise necklace is great too.
Right? I am so jealous of my northern friends with crisp weather, but we are a bit lucky too. With Cooler evenings and dinner Al fresco through November, a light layer is all we need. Thank you for leaving a comment.
This was a super fun video to make because I do think it reflects the personal way I dress. I own most of these pieces already... all from J.Crew. Check out the J.Crew summer sales now: go.magik.ly/ml/1kxoo/
How have I missed your channel?! You have an amazing way of presenting this coastal grandma look. Living in south FL, retired now older and much thicker, this is just the video I needed to see to feel like I can still look pulled together. 😁Ktk🙏🏼💜
This is so awesome!!! Yay!!!! I love that I could help/inspire in some way. Yep, I needed to learn to dress myself after the extra lbs started to pile on, and everyone I see online is a size XS. LOL. I'm so glad you are here. Welcome!
So nice to find your channel. I'm also in Houston. I wore the CG look all throughout summer and loved it. I'm finding it challenging to style clothes with a touch of fall fashion in this hot weather. I did manage to put together some nice outfits but incorporated a bit of leopard print in 2 of them. Loved your video. I actually have some lightweight medium blue joggers so very much liked the look you presented. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Oh hello neighbor!!! Thank you for joining in the conversation. I’ve pulled out my cheetah flats once this month. I am so jealous of our neighbors further North… but only through October. I don’t mind our mild winters. I think next weekend I will be sharing a dressing in black video. It will be fun 🤩
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife no I actually love the styles a lot and of course they look great on you. When I was working I would have worn some of these styles but Since I retired 12 years ago I don’t need to dress up as much 🤣🤣 and your right I’m most happy wearing my apron full of paint splatters 👩🎨 have a great day 🥰
Thank you so much!! The beauty of this aesthetic is that everyone can jump in on it. Because of my curves, I never though I could manage it... but with time, I learned to embrace the look - even on a curvy Brazilian girl. ;)
I don’t think the coastal grandma look is a trend. It’s my style completely just easy breezy comfy light colors, lots of blue. Those looks are great on you!! Love the cashmere shawl! Your hair is gorgeous! Black is your color
I agree Ingrid! I think it is an easier coastal wear though... Thank you... you are the second person who tells me that... you know, I heard somewhere that there is a correlation with looking good in black as opposed to navy... I need to see what that means as it escapes me. Hope you are enjoying your weekend.
Super cute styles! Ooh the poncho and necklace! Wish I could wear cashmere (I’m allergic). Sophisticated and timeless looks! Your gray is lovely on you. Still love that dark streak!!!
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife Glad you kept some of those cute pieces! Almost there! In kept my hair pretty long growing out the gray and it’s been 2.5 years now. I’m about 90% there! Have a great weekend! 😁
As a fellow Texan, I love the paper thin, long sleeve layer look! Would you mind sharing the brand and info on the pieces you shared? Love the chic costal granma vibe!
Hi @yourstruly9448, unfortunately these pieces were sent in a styled box and I have not kept the paperwork for that. I will try to do better on future videos. Although, if you are interested in any particular piece, feel free to use my link and order a box from my stylist, Bethany Oddo. Make sure to mention the exact video and she can send it to you to try out. You are not obligated to keep any of it. Good luck!!!
I think you are beautiful, classic and elegant. The blue striped dress may be fabulous, starched, left open all the way with pants and a camisole top. Poncho or pashmina draped. No belt required. Dress cut too low and big on your armpit.
I love the poncho!!
Me too. I kept it ;)

Glad you like them, Debra! Nahhh... not a fashionista... I just follow the orders that come with the box. LOL
I absolutely LOVE your vibe girl! 🤍
oh yay!!! Thanks Sam. you made my day. 🥰
Finally, someone closer to my size rocking the look and looking wonderful in it. I’m in South Carolina where the fall is warm too.
Hi Lynn! Welcome to the real world, right? I’ll be doing more clothing unboxing s in the future. 😘. Thank you for the kind words.

@Bethany Wenger Wow. Great feedback and YES why didn't I think of that being that royalty is always wearing hats. I will look them up. Is there anyone channel in particular you would recommend, Bethany?
@Bethany Wenger great to know. Yes plz, is there a channel or a brand you can let us know of?
Chic. I love it! P.S. Your hair color is a vibe as the kids say.

Thank you, Samantha. You are the sweetest. I think the fact that I am a little "plump" helps fill in the wrinkles LOL. Have a great weekend!
I have the fake princess cut earrings. Timeless And classy. 😋 I love all of these looks! The white denim has been one of my favorites for years! 💯
Love it!!... but I definitely need to size up on white pants period. I have been blessed with chicken legs (all the way up to my thighs) lol
Love the outfits. I admit I love the color black on you. The turquoise necklace is stunning.
Love how you do these videos. 🍑🙌🏻🧡
Thanks, Lisa! I love crisp white too... It just makes my hair POP. Hugs to you my friend.
@@CatherineHopkinsDesignsLife 🍑🙌🏻🧡
I just subscribed, love your channel!
Thanks for subbing! And welcome to this little corner of the internet. I can't wait to hear from and learn more about you, Gale. Hugs from TX

I don’t have a straw bag either. Thanks for the reminder. I’ll add it to my list.
Hahah... if you find something awesome, please share with me. I like larger totes, but don't want to spend a lot of $$$

Hi Catherine I’m also allergic to earrings
I love the coastal look. And btw I love my granny panties lol 😊

Queria eu... mas comprei o poncho

Gwen!!!! You are an expert!!!! Thank you so much for the pointers. I love your comment!!!!
How tall are you and what size do you wear, just so I can judge sizes.
Hi Olive, I’m not quite 5’4” and I wear size 12 for pants usually. My tops are a snug MEDIUM. I hope that helps . ☺️
