Due to following you, I always think about 'putting together' the outfit I wear each day and have the tools to help me. Last weekend I was at my grandson's birthday party at a trampoline park. As always, I put thought into what I wore, keeping in mind the venue and event I was going to. Soft knit drawstring pants, pink casual knit top, beige cardigan sweater bookmarked with beige Sketchers. Here's the amazing thing - I went to the 'powder room' and 5 - 6 young girls in youthful outfits walked in. One of them actually said to me, very sweetly, "I like your outfit." Another said, "Yes, you look pretty." I was quite surprised by their compliment, as well as by the fact that they even noticed and took the time to say something. I smiled and thanked them wholeheartedly. I was touched by their kindness, and to be complimented by teenagers was quite uplifting. Thank you for videos like this one that help me to feel stylish every day even at age 70!
I can imagine what you have felt. I get often compliments (under all) from teenager girls who find my outfits pretty. And it's very nice but also surprising because of our age difference. I am 64. And my style isn't a teenie style at all! 😊
Hi Kay! I would love to make what I hope is a positive comment here! I have been watching your videos for some time and just subscribed this morning. I am 53 years young and have one 4 year old granddaughter. Two years ago I lost my husband to a tragic accident and since then have not only had yo learn to live without him but I have also had to learn to live on my one income , fixed income. All of this to say I ADORE when you share Frank and Eileen! It is the best, well made classic clothing that I have ever purchased. I love everything the company stands for. I love the thoughtful packaging and the the sweet little bags! What I don’t particularly care for is all the negativity from other viewers about the cost each time you post. For myself personally, it is expensive, but what I do is add a few key pieces a year. I opt for quality over quantity. If Insee something out of my price range that i think would add value to my wardrobe such as my Veronica Beard scuba blazer then I put a little away each payday and treat myself at my birthday or Christmas. And when I see how much someone loves something they have purchased I never boo hiss them by pointing out that it might be out of my budget. I simply feel happy that they are enjoying it and make a mental note that it might be an add to “save for it” list.
Thank you for sharing this perspective. I do indeed get negative comments about the prices of things. But I know from my analytics that many of my quieter followers are like yourself … making investment purchases wisely, prudently and occasionally. I try really hard to provide a wide variety of content from different retailers and at a full range of prices. But usually it’s those who only want to see less expensive items who say anything about price…and only when the content doesn’t suit them. Then when I share a retailer that has lower prices they don’t seem grateful for that at all. It’s really frustrating to me because I schedule my content out on a calendar, so I know I’m providing a balance, but many women only comment about what doesn’t work for them. That said, I am very grateful to read your comment today. It was thoughtful and kind. And, like I said, I know from my analytics that I have many other followers who agree with you…and I do receive emails from them occasionally, too. One more thing. The main thing I don’t like about those negative comments is that I feel like they are meant to shame me and shame followers like yourself who are purchasing those higher end items. I just won’t tolerate that. So I’ve started screening any comments with certain key words in them. And I just will not publish those.
@@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms Good Morning Kay! Thank you for the thoughtful reply. I sensed the shaming as well and that is just so sad to me. I have never understood the need of others to make someone feel bad about things that make them happy. I am sincerely enjoying the content on your page. So keep up the amazing work! I personally prefer the higher end content but definitely understand the need to mix up the materials to engage various audiences. For myself I shy away from buying from places like Walmart and Target for clothing as I tend to wear it once and never like the way it washes. Have the best weekend! I am headed out of town to watch the Grand baby❤️
This feels like a review of what you have been doing this year. I’m not complaining. At this point, it gives me satisfaction. I’ve been taking lots of things out of my closet, and I forced myself to consider a certain color palette when I was shopping. AND, I forced myself to remember to ask myself, where will you wear this. I’m 75 so this was not easy. I kept feeling like I was in the car and putting on the brakes. However, I find that I can actually mix and match what I bought. I’m content with this. I’m happy, and I wanted to thank you.
Wonderful. Yes, I do frequently review the things I've already shared. At this point there isn't much "new" when it comes to good style, but since current silhouettes and lengths do come around, we often have to adapt to those. thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and watching. 🥰
This was an excellent video, Kay, and very timely for me. As I have been decluttering my closet I have realized that I have more dressy clothes and less "everyday" clothes that I need for my current lifestyle. I will keep your outfit formulas in mind as I shop more strategically going forward. Your style series this year has been very informative and helpful.
LOVE Frank and Eileen, so glad they sponsored your video today, Kay!!Have curated a number of F&E pieces into my wardrobe (while eliminating/paring down in my closet) so much over the last few years (ordered mini Belfast a few days ago) that I reach for OVER and OVER (and doesn’t go out of style) to wear in my daily life….always feel so put together, current and modern at 76 yrs young…yes, mindful of the budget…cost per wear/enjoyment really is key and saving at the dry cleaners….always enjoy you, Kay, you are such a joy to watch and learn, thank you!!
Hi, Kay: Not telling my current age--I have been wearing scarves since I was in university at 18. I have several from that time period that I continue to wear with much affection. Wearing scarves is very European and elegant.
Hi Kay ~ my late husband was an engineer businessman who traveled a great deal. I recall that he always dressed for success when traveling for business, most times to 24-hour manufacturing floors (not very glamorous). One of his favorite sayings was, “keep your helmet on out there” and he was correct, as you are! My earrings are my “helmet”, thank you for your talent and sincerity. Love your blog 50+++ M
I am full time grandmother to a sweet little 9 month girl who has been with us since she has been 5 weeks old! I provide childcare for the sweetest unexpected surprise in our family! My style formula is usually easy fitting pants (Sketcher’s Go Walk Pants are my favorite) that allows me to be on the move with a close fitting, but not tight pull on shirt. I am a short waisted petite person with an over generous chest that makes me look like a refrigerator box if I wear flare pants and oversized shirts! I enjoy watching your videos and have slowly embraced the style formula you speak of! While the styles you present here rarely work for me, I do gain knowledge on how to present my aging body appropriately! You always look wonderful even in styles I do not care for! Thanks for delivering on point advice and helping me look “Dressed for my day”!
All good teachers understand the importance of a good review with nice visual cues. Nice to get a refresh with some current, modern trends. Enjoyed this, Kay.
So glad! I’m really restricting how many dressier items I buy these days. Casual is where I really live so I might as well lean into it. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Love F&E clothes and so enjoyed you today, Kay, as always….have curated my closet over last few years with a number of F&E pieces (and continue) and they are the ones I reach for OVER and OVER and often get compliments…clothing made in the US and very well made and never go out of style….and definitely watch for their sales!
Hi Kay: loved the corduroy dress looks! While I cannot afford F$E( no shaming here, just a fact) I was able to find a similar look at my price point from Lands End. The styling is the benefit of the video we don’t have to have the exact same brand. Plus at LE, was able to purchase in a petite. Would never have considered a cord dress without your video, thanks!
Such lovely choices ❤Red is beautiful on you! I tendcto be too much a creature of habit...same ole colors because its easy on my eyes 👀 ill get new, current pieces but i dont stray far from grey, grey/green, black...i feel best when im current but not flashy .if that makes any sense 😂
Yes, scarves! I've been wearing nice scarves for 50 years, and yes to an elegant silk scarf. Tie around your head for a day out in the convertible...with sunglasses, of course!
❤ Thursday is my time to consider my personal wardrobe engineering. This video is precious. You help me look at my retirement, sustainable aspirations and true image. Go Joyful style.
Love this video. Very helpful. Frank & Eileen has beautiful clothing and I love it. The prices are steep but I know the garments will last forever and mix and match with so much for so long. It does make me feel like I could take another look at the (what I thought were) pricey Kettlewell jackets.
As Always, Wonderful video clarifying simple steps that make a big difference. I used these steps w/ my summer linen capsule clothes & it continues to work like a charm! Thanks So Much for All You Do for us!!! Believe me when I say that the Positive Rippling Affect you create & send out Truly Make a Big Difference in All Our Lives! It helps me more deliberately Positive!!! Amen & Bless You Kay!!!❤
Loved watching the outfits go from plain to intentional! I’m packing for a trip and watching your video made me add a few accessories to my suitcase. Thank you!
You described my life as a busy, involved Grandma. I always want to look put together and stylish. I want my family to be proud of me. You really don’t need to spend a lot of money to do so. Love today’s video. Thanks! ❤
Another informative video, thank you Kay! I’ve come to realize that I’m kind of a basic dresser so I guess formula #1 or #3 are my jam. A top of some kind, jeans or slacks, pants, and a pair of flats or loafers. Seems like that’s my style uniform although I do throw in a dress for date night especially in the warmer months. I’m slowly adding third pieces like blazers, jackets, and over pieces etc. It makes a big difference!
Thanks Kay! Love the video. Love the clothes. I know they sponsored your video, but they are pricey for the average retiree. I’d like to know dupes in another video. (Or they can sponsor me..a retired teacher😉)
Thanks Kay! I am trying to keep your style tips in mind as i update my fall wardrobe...especially in regards to buying tops. I love the jeans top or sweater formula..just tricky buying the tops. It's too easy for me to want to buy a top i like in multiple colors. Now I buy just one color to make 3 outfits with...great tip!
I love wide wale corduroy pants with a sweater and a leather biker. Alternatively, leather pants with a sweater and a velvet biker. Always mixing textures
These are wonderful steps to keep in mind while “dressing for our day”! I am a scarf girl for certain. They are so versatile. I buy 2 or 3 new ones every season. I struggle with shoes, mostly due to the cost, as they can make or break an outfit.
On a recent trip to Europe, I decided to make scarves my souvenirs. I thrifted four in Frankfurt & bought a beautiful orange new one in Heidelberg. Can’t wait to wear them when it cools off a bit more.
Thank for your wonderful content! Would you consider a video discussing your hair cut and a styling video? Your make up video was great, would love more like this!
Formulas 1-4 are my favorites. When going outside the home, I use either a denim jacket or button-down shirt as my completer piece, when too warm for a coat. I used to wear more cardigans but I am finding them to be too frumpy. Appreciate all your tips. You have also inspired me to take better care of my nails, especially after a summer of using and abusing my hands. I splurged on a mani/pedi yesterday and it made a huge difference.
I love all of the clothes and ideas! The clothes are beautiful but over my price range. I would love it if you could give us links to the same clothes ideas but in a lower price range. For example, I am willing to spend up to $100 for that sweater.I know some people can but I can’t . Or what brand of clothes should I should to for a nice selection of basics like this at a lower price point ? Thank you so much !
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. The video was sponsored by Frank & Eileen and I’m very grateful. I’m not able to link to other items for this video. But I work with a variety of sponsors at a wide range of prices. Hang with me. I have other options coming.
I enjoyed this video. It’s really been on my heart to be more intentional with what I buy and to try to utilize what I have. I love the clothes you featured in this video. I have a champagne taste on a beer budget🤣
I live in Southern Nevada and we’re still wearing warm weather clothes / I’m looking forward to long sleeved shirts and sweaters . Maybe next month I hope.
Another fine video with helpful tips, Kay. I am trying really hard to scale down my wardrobe, but I find myself purchasing new items every season. I look at it as refreshing my wardrobe. The green corduroy dress is wonderful. It's one of my favorite tones of green. Would you wear it with a belt?
I would definitely put a belt with it, probably one that complements the footwear you choose. A fun choice would be to roll, or scrunch, up that scarf and use it as a belt! It doesn't have to be tight to your waist, but just enough to give you a bit of definition.
You absolutely could wear a belt with the dress, but I chose not to. I personally didn't care for it on me. And I like the free-flowing look of the dress without a belt. But you definitely have some styling options.
Hi there. I'm in the same position because I can't afford anything in this video. That happens sometimes but I still love her channel and get a lot of inspiration from it. So what I do is I'll take screenshots of outfits I really like and find something similar at Walmart or at a thrift store. I'm not a fan of fast fashion but I don't have a lot of clothes anyway. I use the capsule wardrobe system. So if I do need to buy something and Kay shows something I really like then I go out and find the closest thing at a more affordable price. My area has a Gabe's store and a Ross but even Marshalls isn't badly priced. I hope this idea helps. We are all in different places and we don't all have the same budget. But I think we can all look great no matter if we spend $300 on a sweater or $50. Or less even at a thrift store. It's all in how you put the outfit together and that's where I need Kay's help! Take care. 💗
@@grace-2127 Thank you for the suggestions Grace. I still love the videos too! I used to scour all those places for a good deal on great fashion but do to some mobility issues I do most my shopping online so I can try them on in the privacy of my own home. Thank goodness for free shipping and returns! I really loved the recent video introducing me to “Quince”. The clothing looks beautiful and priced well with in my budget. I am looking forward to trying this brand and will continue to watch and enjoy the Dressed For My Day channel for great ideas and beautiful fashions. Take care! Mary Beth
l wear joggers and a sweater. Sometimes l will put a shirt under the sweater and then wear sneakers. When l wear jeans with a sweater and a shirt under l will wear booties. That is my winter wardrobe. Acessories a pair of earrings and bracelet.
I know that opinions on shorter pants ( ankle pants, in particular) are mixed, but, in my opinion, most pants described as ankle pants are really just longer capris, and, if wide, are similarly unflattering. IMO shorter pants, to look cute and modern and flattering, should be straight or slim cut (not skinny) and reach precisely the ankle bone. Pants that are shorter and wider, like those shown here, look awkward to my eye and, although numerous stylists say they elongate the leg by showing the area above the ankle, I think the opposite is the case. To test this idea, I would suggest getting dressed similarly as described here, putting on first pants like those shown and then replacing them with pants that reach the top of your foot. Take pictures of both looks and decide which elongates the leg and which looks more flattering.
This was a very enjoyable video! Could you make a video of styling sneakers? That's all I can wear in the cooler seasons due to multiple foot issues. I would really appreciate that!
What a helpful video, Kay! Soon I need to run to the store and now I have some ideas of how to beautify my simple “home clothes” to do a quick errand.😊
Thanks, Kay. I find your videos very helpful. They inspire me to make a more conscious effort to dress for my day daily. Even though I'm retired, I feel more motivated to have a good, beneficial day. When we look good, we feel good!! Thank you for sharing new ideas and reviewing past ones. Trust Jesus, and have a great day .
Hi, always helpful video. For me, casual outfit would be the no jean pants with sweater top. Living in cold weather area, we get a lot of use out of our sweaters. I don't prefer button down shirts for myself, but pull over sweaters/tops instead. I took several months to re-vamped my selection of dresses (got rid of 2 dresses) and needed to add a few more "Sunday" dresses which I wear fairly frequently to Friday/Saturday dances.
I love your style Kay . I too would love to buy Frank and Eileen but it is too expensive for me. I think the style concepts you show can be applied to less expensive options. So that is what I plan to do. Also great advice to dress for your day . I will retire soon and will make an effort to do this
My granddaughter went in my cabinet for cocoa and said, “ How many tea bags do you have?” 🤣 I love the items I bought from F&E; work well for my lifestyle. I’ve really thought more this last year about a closet where the pieces play well with one another. Good video to encourage stylish touches. May I ask what size you ordered in the sweater and dress? I find that a medium has worked in all my purchases.
Great tips! But oh my Frank and Eileen waaa-ay out of my budget! Beautiful and in my dreams, but nope!!I will take your tips to use with brands within my $$ range.
I saw a Fox rift shirt at a thrift/charity shop yesterday, and my first thought was ‘Frank and Eileen’! Only $5, and a beautiful subtle paisley. The arms were a little short but I may go back and get it anyway - just roll up those cuffs.
Very informative and classy. I really wish that quality, sustainable brands were actually affordable for the average person. There is no way most people can afford a $280 button down shirt. This is why fast fashion has taken over. It’s really sad it’s come to this. 🩷
Nice tips and inspiration! I love that corduroy dress but in my opinion it really needs tall (maybe knee-high) fitted boots! The colour and fabric itself is very fall/winter and shoes just look odd! I don't think booties / ankle boots would work either 'cause you'd have a bit of skin showing below.
I will wear knee high boots with it when it gets cooler, but I love these options for now. We all see things differently and have options. Have a great day!
@@mickbethful I too tho't it looked like a nightshirt - very long & baggy . Perhaps a size smaller so it's still comfortably loose and / or add a belt .
I store my off season shoes in their shoe bags, but I just place them all together in a large bin in my basement. Shoe boxes would probably be better, but I just can’t stand keeping them. I may need to invest in some permanent ones for off season shoes.
$278 for a denim shirt 😲 I enjoy your channel so I thought I could support you by shopping your sponsor. Not this time 😶! I hope they sent you all these clothes for free😊
ups! este video no tiene traducción, hablo español y me gustaria saber lo que dice me esta gustando su canal y sus sugerencias pero por esta ocasión no se lo que comenta :(
I love Frank and Eileen and have a couple pieces. This sweater looks big and baggy on you. Also the corduroy dress looks like a sack on you. Sorry, did you use your usual size? If, so maybe should size down. I love the sweater, but wondering if I should size down to a small instead of my usual medium.
I think crop pants are not flattering for short people like me though. The ankle showing between the pants and the shoes doesn’t elongate the look. So I choose longer high wasted jeans.
Yes, we all have different budgets. I try to share brands in a range of prices. But I'm so grateful to Frank & Eileen for sponsoring todays video so I could share these casual outfit formulas. Thanks for watching!🥰
I absolutely LOVE each look and every item...but, 68 and retired, the clothes you are featuring is $2882. with tax over $3000. Say I wore each item at least 30 times a year, ( average item @$330) each item would only cost $11 per wear. I would say that is a bargain!!! The cheaper clothing I buy and only wear a few times per year-I now see as a waste. I am 100% convinced! Love F&E. I better start saving.
I certainly don't think everyone (even me) needs all of the clothes I share. I personally would prefer to have a smaller wardrobe than I do. But I'm grateful that these brands gift me some clothes to share with you all. I do, by the way, purchase just as many F&E clothes as they gift me. I love them! But I'll agree that they are an investment! Thanks for watching and sharing.

Thanks So Much for All You Do for us!!! Believe me when I say that the Positive Rippling Affect you create & send out Truly Make a Big Difference in All Our Lives! It helps me more deliberately Positive!!! Amen & Bless You Kay!!!❤
Thanks for sharing!! That is very kind and encouraging. 🥰
I love that you highlighted it sustainable brand ❤️
Another well worthwhile video. Thank you. It gives me a jolt to go and look at my wardrobe with the start of summer here in Australia
Loved watching the outfits go from plain to intentional! I’m packing for a trip and watching your video made me add a few accessories to my suitcase. Thank you!
You described my life as a busy, involved Grandma. I always want to look put together and stylish. I want my family to be proud of me. You really don’t need to spend a lot of money to do so. Love today’s video. Thanks! ❤
You are so welcome! 🤗
I'm particularly impressed by the corduroy dress and scarf!🎉
Another informative video, thank you Kay! I’ve come to realize that I’m kind of a basic dresser so I guess formula #1 or #3 are my jam. A top of some kind, jeans or slacks, pants, and a pair of flats or loafers. Seems like that’s my style uniform although I do throw in a dress for date night especially in the warmer months. I’m slowly adding third pieces like blazers, jackets, and over pieces etc. It makes a big difference!
Love that! Thanks so much for sharing. 🥰
Great ideas to make use of your existing wardrobe thanks!
You're so welcome!😉
Lovely video Kay, so useful 🙂
Glad it was helpful! 🤗
Really inspirational I used what I had, in my closet and with these tips it made a positive difference! Thank you!
You're so welcome! Thanks for sharing. 🥰
Great video! I love what you do to make us stylish. It looks so easy when you add just a little!
Yes! Thank you!😊
Thanks Kay! Love the video. Love the clothes. I know they sponsored your video, but they are pricey for the average retiree. I’d like to know dupes in another video. (Or they can sponsor me..a retired teacher😉)
Unfortunately I don't know of any clothes similar to these. But thank you so much for watching! ❤
So Basic and Classic! Mmmm Fall!!🍁🍃🍂🙌
Right!! 🍁🍂
You look amazing in all the style choices
Thank you for all your hard work
You are so welcome!🤗
Such an informative video! Your hair looks great!!! 💖😘
Thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Thanks Kay! I am trying to keep your style tips in mind as i update my fall wardrobe...especially in regards to buying tops. I love the jeans top or sweater formula..just tricky buying the tops. It's too easy for me to want to buy a top i like in multiple colors. Now I buy just one color to make 3 outfits with...great tip!
I love wide wale corduroy pants with a sweater and a leather biker. Alternatively, leather pants with a sweater and a velvet biker. Always mixing textures
Sounds like great formulas! Thanks for sharing. 🥰
Hi Kay. I enjoyed Abigail’s home tour blog. I hope she does more of them for the different seasons.
Thanks so much. It was a big help to me.
Another helpful video Kay! Thanks for the tips. 😊
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. 🥰
These are wonderful steps to keep in mind while “dressing for our day”! I am a scarf girl for certain. They are so versatile. I buy 2 or 3 new ones every season. I struggle with shoes, mostly due to the cost, as they can make or break an outfit.
Yes, I agree about shoes. Thanks so much for sharing watching and sharing your thoughts. ❤️
On a recent trip to Europe, I decided to make scarves my souvenirs. I thrifted four in Frankfurt & bought a beautiful orange new one in Heidelberg. Can’t wait to wear them when it cools off a bit more.
such a lovely souvenir!
Thank you! So helpful!
You're so welcome! 😊
I never thought to roll up my blouse sleeves to be outside of the jacket...cute idea!
I’m so glad you liked it. 🤗
Love your videos, thanks for all the style advice
Glad you like them! 😊

Thank for your wonderful content! Would you consider a video discussing your hair cut and a styling video? Your make up video was great, would love more like this!
Formulas 1-4 are my favorites. When going outside the home, I use either a denim jacket or button-down shirt as my completer piece, when too warm for a coat. I used to wear more cardigans but I am finding them to be too frumpy. Appreciate all your tips. You have also inspired me to take better care of my nails, especially after a summer of using and abusing my hands. I splurged on a mani/pedi yesterday and it made a huge difference.
Thanks so much for sharing. I love those, too. I had a mani yesterday, too! 🥰
Very pretty outfits, l like them all
I agree that the word hack diminishes our intention. We are not using trickery.
😊
I love all of the clothes and ideas! The clothes are beautiful but over my price range. I would love it if you could give us links to the same clothes ideas but in a lower price range. For example, I am willing to spend up to $100 for that sweater.I know some people can but I can’t . Or what brand of clothes should I should to for a nice selection of basics like this at a lower price point ? Thank you so much !
I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. The video was sponsored by Frank & Eileen and I’m very grateful. I’m not able to link to other items for this video. But I work with a variety of sponsors at a wide range of prices. Hang with me. I have other options coming.
Love Formula 3 and 5 😊
I enjoyed this video. It’s really been on my heart to be more intentional with what I buy and to try to utilize what I have. I love the clothes you featured in this video. I have a champagne taste on a beer budget🤣
I live in Southern Nevada and we’re still wearing warm weather clothes / I’m looking forward to long sleeved shirts and sweaters . Maybe next month I hope.
💨🍂🍁
Another fine video with helpful tips, Kay. I am trying really hard to scale down my wardrobe, but I find myself purchasing new items every season. I look at it as refreshing my wardrobe. The green corduroy dress is wonderful. It's one of my favorite tones of green. Would you wear it with a belt?
I would definitely put a belt with it, probably one that complements the footwear you choose.
A fun choice would be to roll, or scrunch, up that scarf and use it as a belt!
It doesn't have to be tight to your waist, but just enough to give you a bit of definition.
You absolutely could wear a belt with the dress, but I chose not to. I personally didn't care for it on me. And I like the free-flowing look of the dress without a belt. But you definitely have some styling options.
The Sarah Flint scarf is beautiful
Yes, I think they’ve discontinued that one. But it is my favorite. 😊
Love your videos. Thank you.
Thanks so much for watching. 🥰
I really enjoyed this video. It love the style of Frank and Eileen but they are way out of my budget. Any suggestions on something more affordable?
Hi there. I'm in the same position because I can't afford anything in this video. That happens sometimes but I still love her channel and get a lot of inspiration from it. So what I do is I'll take screenshots of outfits I really like and find something similar at Walmart or at a thrift store. I'm not a fan of fast fashion but I don't have a lot of clothes anyway. I use the capsule wardrobe system. So if I do need to buy something and Kay shows something I really like then I go out and find the closest thing at a more affordable price. My area has a Gabe's store and a Ross but even Marshalls isn't badly priced. I hope this idea helps. We are all in different places and we don't all have the same budget. But I think we can all look great no matter if we spend $300 on a sweater or $50. Or less even at a thrift store. It's all in how you put the outfit together and that's where I need Kay's help! Take care. 💗
@@grace-2127 Thank you for the suggestions Grace. I still love the videos too! I used to scour all those places for a good deal on great fashion but do to some mobility issues I do most my shopping online so I can try them on in the privacy of my own home. Thank goodness for free shipping and returns! I really loved the recent video introducing me to “Quince”. The clothing looks beautiful and priced well with in my budget. I am looking forward to trying this brand and will continue to watch and enjoy the Dressed For My Day channel for great ideas and beautiful fashions. Take care!

l wear joggers and a sweater. Sometimes l will put a shirt under the sweater and then wear sneakers. When l wear jeans with a sweater and a shirt under l will wear booties. That is my winter wardrobe. Acessories a pair of earrings and bracelet.
Thanks so much for sharing! 🥰
I know that opinions on shorter pants ( ankle pants, in particular) are mixed, but, in my opinion, most pants described as ankle pants are really just longer capris, and, if wide, are similarly unflattering. IMO shorter pants, to look cute and modern and flattering, should be straight or slim cut (not skinny) and reach precisely the ankle bone. Pants that are shorter and wider, like those shown here, look awkward to my eye and, although numerous stylists say they elongate the leg by showing the area above the ankle, I think the opposite is the case. To test this idea, I would suggest getting dressed similarly as described here, putting on first pants like those shown and then replacing them with pants that reach the top of your foot. Take pictures of both looks and decide which elongates the leg and which looks more flattering.
This was a very enjoyable video! Could you make a video of styling sneakers? That's all I can wear in the cooler seasons due to multiple foot issues. I would really appreciate that!
What a helpful video, Kay! Soon I need to run to the store and now I have some ideas of how to beautify my simple “home clothes” to do a quick errand.😊
Wonderful. I'm so glad you found it helpful. Thanks for letting me know.
Thank-you for an excellent video. I love that jean shirt though I think I can find a similar one for less than $278.
Thanks, Kay. I find your videos very helpful. They inspire me to make a more conscious effort to dress for my day daily. Even though I'm retired, I feel more motivated to have a good, beneficial day. When we look good, we feel good!!
Thank you for sharing new ideas and reviewing past ones. Trust Jesus, and have a great day .
Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.🥰
Very nice thank you!
Thanks so much for watching! 🥰
Hi, always helpful video. For me, casual outfit would be the no jean pants with sweater top. Living in cold weather area, we get a lot of use out of our sweaters. I don't prefer button down shirts for myself, but pull over sweaters/tops instead. I took several months to re-vamped my selection of dresses (got rid of 2 dresses) and needed to add a few more "Sunday" dresses which I wear fairly frequently to Friday/Saturday dances.
Thanks so much for sharing. 🥰
I love your style Kay . I too would love to buy Frank and Eileen but it is too expensive for me. I think the style concepts you show can be applied to less expensive options. So that is what I plan to do. Also great advice to dress for your day . I will retire soon and will make an effort to do this
My granddaughter went in my cabinet for cocoa and said, “ How many tea bags do you have?” 🤣 I love the items I bought from F&E; work well for my lifestyle. I’ve really thought more this last year about a closet where the pieces play well with one another. Good video to encourage stylish touches. May I ask what size you ordered in the sweater and dress? I find that a medium has worked in all my purchases.
Hahaha! I have a cabinet full of those tea bags, too. But I did drink one yesterday. 😉 I have a medium in both.
Great tips! But oh my Frank and Eileen waaa-ay out of my budget! Beautiful and in my dreams, but nope!!I will take your tips to use with brands within my $$ range.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the tips. Have a great day! 🥰
I saw a Fox rift shirt at a thrift/charity shop yesterday, and my first thought was ‘Frank and Eileen’! Only $5, and a beautiful subtle paisley. The arms were a little short but I may go back and get it anyway - just roll up those cuffs.
FoxCROFT!!
@@gailwilliams5278 thrifting is so rewarding!
Very informative and classy. I really wish that quality, sustainable brands were actually affordable for the average person. There is no way most people can afford a $280 button down shirt. This is why fast fashion has taken over. It’s really sad it’s come to this. 🩷
Nice tips and inspiration!
I love that corduroy dress but in my opinion it really needs tall (maybe knee-high) fitted boots! The colour and fabric itself is very fall/winter and shoes just look odd! I don't think booties / ankle boots would work either 'cause you'd have a bit of skin showing below.
I will wear knee high boots with it when it gets cooler, but I love these options for now. We all see things differently and have options. Have a great day!
Great idea. It kind of looks like a nightshirt, and the tall boots would make it less so.
@@mickbethful I too tho't it looked like a nightshirt - very long & baggy . Perhaps a size smaller so it's still comfortably loose and / or add a belt .
"In Europe, fashion is more than just clothing; it's an expression of art and culture."
Do you have any tips on storing shoes. How do you store your seasonal and current shoe options? That would be a great help. Thanks a bunch! 😀
I store my off season shoes in their shoe bags, but I just place them all together in a large bin in my basement. Shoe boxes would probably be better, but I just can’t stand keeping them. I may need to invest in some permanent ones for off season shoes.
Do you remember where you bought the beautiful scarf?
Good morning Kay, and thank you, for another enlightening video.
I am using formula number 1, 3 and 4.
God bless you and thanks again.
🙏🥰👍❤️🌟🌻✝️🍁🧡🍂
Wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing, Rachel. Have a blessed day!
Outfit number 4 is what I’d tend to wear most.
Great! Thanks for sharing. 🤗
$278 for a denim shirt 😲 I enjoy your channel so I thought I could support you by shopping your sponsor. Not this time 😶!
I hope they sent you all these clothes for free😊
Flip the collar, roll up the sleeves and add a belt to the green dress...sharp
Thanks for watching 🥰
My formula , jeans, shirt, vest
Thank you for sharing. ☺️
Never even heard of Frank and Eileen. Lol
Well now you have! 🥰 Thanks for watching.
You are perfect as always
You’re very kind. 🙂
Kay, thank you for that very useful video! Please wear shoe or boots with your outfits. I never know what kind of shoe is better!! ❤
Keep watching the video. After the jewlry, she has shoes with all the outfits.
I did wear shoes and boots with the outfits. I showed several different options at one point. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. 🥰
Yes, I saw it after....☺️
Love these ideas! Beautiful green dress! Thank you, Kay❤
Thanks so much! 😊
ups! este video no tiene traducción, hablo español y me gustaria saber lo que dice me esta gustando su canal y sus sugerencias pero por esta ocasión no se lo que comenta :(
I love Frank and Eileen and have a couple pieces. This sweater looks big and baggy on you. Also the corduroy dress looks like a sack on you. Sorry, did you use your usual size? If, so maybe should size down. I love the sweater, but wondering if I should size down to a small instead of my usual medium.
I like the sizes I wore here. These were style choices. I'm glad you are enjoying your Frank and Eileen pieces.
I think crop pants are not flattering for short people like me though. The ankle showing between the pants and the shoes doesn’t elongate the look. So I choose longer high wasted jeans.
I like the idea of outfit formulas. I just don't like the short pants.
Edit: …It helps me be more deliberately Positive…
Like the ideas but F&E is way too expensive for me. I’m retired & $250 for a button up shirt is way too much!!!
Why all the high water pants?
Ankle length pants are very mainstream and in style.
The dress looks a little like a robe to me. Maybe use a belt?
Thanks so much for watching. 😊
Beautiful clothes, but out of some peoples price range.
Yes, we all have different budgets. I try to share brands in a range of prices. But I'm so grateful to Frank & Eileen for sponsoring todays video so I could share these casual outfit formulas. Thanks for watching!🥰
I absolutely LOVE each look and every item...but, 68 and retired, the clothes you are featuring is $2882. with tax over $3000. Say I wore each item at least 30 times a year, ( average item @$330) each item would only cost $11 per wear. I would say that is a bargain!!! The cheaper clothing I buy and only wear a few times per year-I now see as a waste. I am 100% convinced! Love F&E. I better start saving.
I certainly don't think everyone (even me) needs all of the clothes I share. I personally would prefer to have a smaller wardrobe than I do. But I'm grateful that these brands gift me some clothes to share with you all. I do, by the way, purchase just as many F&E clothes as they gift me. I love them! But I'll agree that they are an investment! Thanks for watching and sharing.
The one style I cannot get used to is high heels with blue jeans. I just don't think is looks good. A pair of stylish dress flats look so much nicer.
