I love all of your cardigans Niki! I have the sweater dress in the dusty blue color and I love it. Thanks for giving me the inspiration to wear it with a cardigan for warmth and to create some new looks too! 🩵Robin
Always love to see your wardrobe videos! Seeing as our skin tones and other features are quite opposite it makes sense that our clothing choices would be as well ☺️ Thank you for introducing me to the idea of an all dresses wardrobe and putting your best foot forward every day. Absolutely LOVE those heart buttons!! 💕
Loved this video, Nikki! Because of you, I have been inspired to wear dresses almost every day during the cold months for the first time ❤ Especially now that you’re living in a 4 season climate and show how you dress warmly for true winter weather. So thank you! Also, as a colour consultant I can assure you that grey works well with your colouring and doesn’t wash you out 😉
Nikki, you actually look so beautiful in your grey cardigan sweaters. To me they don’t wash you out at all. I’m so inspired by all your winter outfits. I bought the apricot colored dress, and I also love it so much. I’m considering buying more colors as well! Thank you for this beautiful video. May you be blessed for all that you do for us. 💕🌷
Hi Nikki, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos. There’s such a peacefulness in everything you share-from the calming colors of your home and wardrobe to the soothing music and your gentle voice. It’s clear that you’ve found a deeper sense of contentment since your move; it really shines through in your videos. Your content has been such an inspiration to me, and I’ve been wearing dresses exclusively for years now because of your influence. Thank you for sharing your life and light with us!
I feel like you! The light is changing in January. Yes, it is cold but I just put away the “ heavy “ dark clothes from the holidays and am wearing the softer colors that seem to reflect the new light
I watch yours and Old World Home channels. I love wearing dresses. With my constant body fluctuations due to medical conditions, I have different styles of dresses in my closet. The sweater dress would not look appealing on my body type. However, Nikki, the dress suits you well. I purchased the fleece lined tights after watching the initial video discussing them. I agree with keeping you warm. Both channels have been an encouragement to wearing dresses daily for dresses do make one feel prepared for the day.
That gorgeous deep red coat would look beautiful in February. I understand you want a break from the deeper colors, but I know you could put together a gorgeous color story in feb with pinks and reds. I've never liked valentines day, but recently find myself embracing it in fashion and small home decor touches as a nice distraction or midway point of cold, dark winter.
It has been interesting to see your style evolve. To my eye your current style is a mix of Ballerina (soft cardigans and chiffon skirts, floaty dresses), Bridal (light colours - cream, blush and dusty blue) Sparkle, Regal (brooches). If I put those all together, for a winter wardrobe, I am getting "Snow Queen" vibes! A fun look for inspiration. You could add in some cream fur (faux), white/silver feathers, real or a metal brooch, regal fabrics such as soft velvets, brocades, jacquards. The blue Bridgerton Morning Room you like is very Snow Queen. I live in the UK, we are going through a cold snap here. Your winter dresses are more what I would wear in the Spring/Summer. I'm currently sat here with an electric fleece blanket on my lap to keep warm. Funnily enough, I do have a Snow Queen style cape in soft white velvet and faux fur, that I bought for fancy dress. Maybe I should wear it :) Not sure what my husband would think.
I too wear all dress/skirts, and I live in a climate that isn't always cold but it can be very cold at times. I love to incorporate deep reds and greens before Christmas, but after the holidays are over I want to see violets, pinks, and other lighter and more "spring" colors to get me through until spring! Incorporating something of a "theme" to my wardrobe really helps make homemaking more fun!
Hello Nikki, Have you tried adding a silk or silky scarf at the neckline to block the chill? I do this and it’s remarkable how a real silk scarf is so lightweight but a great wind barrier.
❤Great ideas 💡. I’ve been curating both my husband’s and my wardrobe. Tennessee weather is all about layers. I have winter tights that are so cozy as they are soft yarn 🧶 perfect with my sweater dresses. Got a box 📦 for the Goodwill.
Thank you again for this wonderfull, inspiering video. I do also wear a big scarf i have a soft, light but very cozy and elegant cashmere poncho to throw over me like you do with your blanket scarf and it is the best addition even in spring and autumn to go outside when you don‘t need a coat yet but want some extra warmth
Cotton or linen layers are helpful to stay warm in dresses. I personally wear a full chemise, a long petticoat and since most of my dresses are cotton, with mid length sleeves, i make the necklines either a v, square or scoop, and in the colder months, i wear a long sleeve, higher neck, slim fitting top under my dress. I stay warm without the bulk and i can love every detail of every piece. Not saying sacrificing for the sake of warmth is horrible, just tossin out ideas from days gone by. Look into how women in Edwardian era layered to keep warm. 😉 I love the sweaters! I never look at clothing at Ross, but i might now.
Hi Nikki, I really admired how you organized your clothes by color - it looks great! I wanted to offer a small suggestion regarding your coats. To keep them in the best possible condition when not in use, it’s helpful to hang them on sturdy, well-sized hangers in a designated closet space to avoid wrinkles and preserve their shape. For delicate or high-end coats, using garment bags is a great way to protect them from dust and light. Since you've chosen to fold them and store them in drawers and wicker baskets, one idea I’d recommend is using Huon pine blocks to help repel moths. I’ve learned from my own experience over the years how important it is to protect these beautiful pieces - I’ve unfortunately had a few of my favorite coats ruined before. I’ve been watching Hilary for over a decade, since her oldest was a baby, and we share similar skin tones, though I have blue eyes like you. I’m sure you’re planning on staying in your new home, and I know finding good quality coats that suit your personal style can be a challenge. I hope this advice is helpful, and I truly want your pieces to stay in great shape for years to come! Xoxo Susan 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️❤️
I have both the white and blush colored Yemak sweaters you posted. I love them and wear them often. I’m a huge fan of the Yemak sweaters and have several colors of another cropped style they have.
Hi Nikki I've always loved the way you wear dresses. Your dresses for the cold weather is beautiful specially with those lovely cardigans. The Lavender with the cream jumper is gorgeous. Love this video looking forward to the next. Thanks Nikki❤❤
Your clothing is organized in such a pretty, color-coordinated way. Of special note, I absolutely love the idea of using a butter dish for brooches. What a creative use for something I have only used as a decorative accent! Thank you, Nikki!
Nikki, you have been so helpful with advice on wearing dresses in the winter. You're totally correct about the importance of length. Just 2-3 inches longer can make the difference in keeping your legs warm. I'm going to try the dress you're wearing (thanks for the link), as it seems perfect. Thank you so much! 💕
WOW!! Your videos on wardrobe have consistently been my favorite! I’m always inspired by your wardrobe videos !! Take a look at the cardigans by the brand Simple Retro. They really pay attention to the pretty little details ! I sometimes wear a pretty ballet sweater by Morning Lavender over my nightgown in the Winter if I want a little extra warmth while reading in bed. I’m looking forward to more of your Winter Wardrobe videos !! ❄️
A dress only gal here too! 👏🏻 I also have a specific style of dress that I gravitate towards and that’s what I stick with! For me, it has to be a shirred bodice and I love a midi / maxi length and bonus bonus for a puff sleeve haha as a new mama who hopes she will have a handful more babies over the years, my dresses also have to be functional for breastfeeding. Prior to conceiving, I realized I love the shirred bodice style and knew that would work for me in pregnancy and postpartum with breastfeeding for many years to come! When my breastfeeding days come to an end one day, there are different styles I’d like to experiment with dress wise but I love how feminine and functional the style I wear every day is! I love that Amazon wrap dress you’re wearing btw 😍
Speaking of your cruise, I have a couple of questions: How did you go about choosing one? Did you do all the prep work yourself or did you go through an agency? Were there any choices you made (where to go, what to do, what to bring, etc) that worked out really well? Any that didn't? Is there anything you'd do differently? I ask because my husband and I want to send his parents on a cruise (Caribbean) for their anniversary. They did not have a honeymoon, nor had they ever had a real vacation until they were in their 50s, and it wasn't anything spectacular. I'm open to suggestions from anyone and have been doing homework for some time now but thought I'd ask. The biggest things I've found thus far is the type of cruise you choose, where the cabin is located on the ship, and BOOK EARLY. Any tips (from anyone) are welcome 😊 Btw, I totally agree on buttons and brooches!! ❤

The pullover sweater with the lavender skirt is so classic. You look absolutely beautiful in them! 💖
I love your cream snow queen looks. You can do a lot just with textures. I am inspired to look into shawls more.

I just think your new shawl. It just looks so cute every way you try it! ❤
Gosh the cream top and lavender chiffon skirt is absolutely gorgeous on you Nikki! ❤

I love the cardigan you were wearing in this video. The heart buttons were so cute . The creams and lighter colors for winter look beautiful on you.
I loved this video.
Wonderful as always ❄️🩵🙏🏼
Thank you 🌹
Your dresses are so pretty. I love the lavender skirt.
Your wardrobe is so feminine and lovely! Do you have separate wardrobes for church and day-to-day?
WOW!! Your videos on wardrobe have consistently been my favorite!
I’m always inspired by your wardrobe videos !!

Hi. Kiki, have you fur isned all the rooms yet? House is so clean.

Will you get some reds back out again for Valentine’s time next month?
Nikki you look very pretty in that dress. You hair looks good today.

Can you link the skirt and the over the knee socks. Thank you. I can’t find it. 😊
I struggle with cardigans because I don't like how the v neck rolls in on one side at the top button
Nikki do you ever wear a wedding band? I see you take you pretty engagement ring off at times but don’t see a wedder. Can you share?
Are you sure your daughter can’t figure out how to remove the sash from your other dress?
