Reaching 5’10 at 13 years, 40 years ago, I tried to hide my hight, until my loving grandmother one day brought me a fedora hat and a pair of really cool high heeled boots and told me: “you can’t stop people noticing, so own it and give them something to enjoy and envy”…. never stoped enjoying my hight and my dramatic style since then 😀 - even now in my 50’s. Did I at times wish I was a petite, delicate, feminine woman - yes. Would it fit with my personality - no. Know the strength of your body, understand proportions and mateirals and flow, and then enjoy the fun of clothes. Thanks for another great video.
Absolutely LOVE THIS!! Yes, we can't change who we are, so lets own it and shine! Thank you so much for sharing this inspiring comment!
you go girl!
Wow, and all the rest of us spend our lives wishing we were taller!
If I stretch I’m 4’10”, used to be 5’1 1/2” but I’m 78 and life happens. I have decided there is nothing I can do that will make me look younger, taller or thinner, so I wear what I like. That was your first piece of advice. 👍 Love full or flair jeans and pants, longer, duster style coats and some oversized things. I do dress “trimmer” also. These were all good recommendations and l liked you library story. Be the best you, you can be. No one else can do it. Blessings
My favorite of the tips is Heighten. As a 68 year old, 5'10" Black woman with a head full of silver hair I am almost always the most recognizable person everywhere I go. My instinct is to blend in. Thank you for the permission to stand out. Xoxo
Oooooh yes!!! You definitely need to own that beautiful sounding look!! Love it!
I'm obsessed with your intro
Same here
Me too -- the song and how she edited her dance moves to fit.
Me too!
Just wish I could understand what that guy is saying!
Yay!! I'm so glad you all like it so much! It was a lot of fun to edit!
Great tips. At only 5 feet I used to be obsessed with dressing to elongate but now at almost 40 I'm like I look short no matter what so screw it and wear what I want to wear without petite restrictions. There are so many "rules" for short people to not look so short that it starts to take the fun out of dressing. Even down to no laces on boots bc of the horizontal horror for short legs. Ugh Now I'll wear the laced boots bc I like them and 100 year old me will be glad I did.
Being petite isn't a flaw!!!! I wish people would just understand that. I embrace it and I know I'm small but mighty!!! Haha ❤️
Yea, that is exactly what I mean. I think it gets taken just a bit too far, people needing to worry about the horizontal laces :-I I'm glad you've embraced it, that's what it's all about.
It’s both an acronym (word made up of the first letter of other words) and a mnemonic (a way to remember something) 🙂 Just had to geek out for a second!
Thank you!!!!!! Acronym! Couldn't think of it. I'm so glad you did geek out :-)
Your hair looks fabulous! Best of luck in your new home 🏘️!!
Thank you Janet!!
I love your tip on dressing up unexpectedly. I used to love curating an outfit for work and appreciated the compliments I got. It kind of affirmed my identity too. The pandemic did away with that mostly, I’ve been in athleisure for most of the year. All the cute clothes I wore are stowed away. This inspires me to just go for it, who cares if everyone else is casual. It makes me feel better about myself 😊
Yes, it is so much fun too. Now you can pull out all those fun clothes. Still nothing wrong with wearing athleisure at times but just nice to shake things up sometimes.
I love your messages, personal stories, and inspiration!
I love this. There is so much good in knowing your body type and what would work best in order to bring balance but too many people get hung up on the principle that this is all you can wear. Knowing the principles should really just give you an understanding of what you are planning to wear will do (or not). If you make a choice to wear something that accentuates something which goes against your body type … own it! Just like you, Jenny Mustard is an amazing example of this - she advocates (and demonstrates) wearing what you love even if it goes against type. If you want to hide/balance then great. If not, that’s great too. Your body; your choice.
So glad to hear you promote Library Story Times! As a library worker I see people meeting weekly and forming friendships while socializing their babies. Check our your local libraries people, they have so much to offer at no cost…Great tip to dress yourself in your favourite styles as an ice breaker! Maybe you can visit your new library for Toddler Story Time and make some new friends. Nice acronym and also love that white tee your wearing with the mock turtleneck, it looks so soft.
Of course! I think Libraries are a necessity! They provide so much. I was so grateful to have those story times. Thank you for your comment Susan!
Love your hair in this video 🥰 Gives me Eurythmics vibes. You’re rocking it!
Thank you Lucine!
Absolutely agree 👍
love your totally opened approach
That was great! Thank you for some actually helpful and uplifting advice!
Thank you for sharing the little stories about how being a mom impacted you and how you're incorporating style in regards to being a new parent. You doing you has inspired me to also do me!🤗❤️🔥
So many great tips... Thanks, Emily! 😊
Amazon warrior here. 5'8" not particularly tall, not particularly skinny, but not large either. Just strong-looking. The girls are my primary curves, lol. I wish I were 6 ft tall! (But I can get that appearance with platforms and extra long, high waisted, wide leg pants combined with moto jacket.) If I do monotone, it'll be red or orange or cornflower blue.) Avoid "blah" at all costs!
Also 67 yo and rocking my blonde top, gray bottom faux hawk (or pixie if I need to.) Just realized I need to update my profile pic - though it's only 2 years old.
You sound stunning
Love this Ann! Your style sounds like a force! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
Im glad flares are back in style! Definitely elongating for a shorty like me
Yes, me too!! Now I need to get some, I didn't save any of mine from the previous round.
Glad you're back!
Me too! :-)
I love to Heighten! Thank you for another awesome video!! Missed you.
Thank you for your lovely comment :-)
Agree with all. Like you, I believe guidelines for your body type are helpful in teaching a person how improve their style, but holding to all the rules, limits self expression. Many times clothing is marketed to specific age groups thus limiting individually. I believe that only I know who I am, and who I am presenting to the world.
Yes, exactly, so so well said! Thank you Cheryl!
Best video ever!! I love this girl ❤️😍
Yay! So glad you liked the video!
Hi Emily, I loved today’s episode. I love to heighten my look as often as I can, pandemic and lockdowns be damned! Sometimes it’s just an accessory added to a basic look, like a cool crossbody bag or a fedora. Gives me a HUGE confidence boost. Cheers, hope you enjoy settling into your new space ☮️💚
Yes, love that! Lockdown be damned! :-)
Luv the explanation of “compartments”
Lovely advice and tips 🤓😀😎thank you Emma
Hi Emily👋 I've been trying to figure out a cohesive style for myself for a while. I got sucked into kind of a black hole of body typing/kibbe id's during the pandemic, lol. Your channel has helped me, and it's fun.😊 I love your simple, organized approach. I'm getting the noise out of my head and my closet.
I also really appreciate that you included Goth in your "find your personal style" video. I feel like some people look down on goth and punk because they aren't mainstream. (so it was very nice of you to include it) Goth is my home base🖤. Your style is inspirational to me. You look so cool and sophisticated and fierce, but you're comfortable too🙌
You're so welcome Candice! I think Goth is so classic and edgy, two of my fav things so I definitely had to include. I'm so happy to hear that you're finding value in the videos. Let me know if there is ever anything specific you'd like focused on. Thanks for your comment Candice!!
I love it. Thank you!
I just found your channel last week and am loving it! I think body typing has its place but nobody should follow and sort of "rules" with unwavering adherence. Learning that I'm a "soft classic" has helped me figure out why I would always love loose, flowy garments on hangers but when I tried them on, I hated them on me. I suppose it's given me a basic understanding of my structure and an idea of what silhouettes may flatter me more. So now I don't waste time trying on things that I will inevitably dislike but I'm not looking at everything and ticking off the "soft classic checklist" and making sure it's what David Kibbe thinks I should be wearing.
Thank you for a simple, streamlined guide to dressing your body!
You're so welcome!
💝 thank you.
Really love your look today! Great hair and nice mock turtleneck. Very respectful treatment of a variety of body shapes!
Thank you Martha! Really appreciate your comment!
So lovely that you are settling into your new home.I wish you many many years of happiness in it. Yep great tips in BEACH and I'll be using them for sure! Thanks for sharing🏖
Thank you so much Vera! And I'm glad you like BEACH :-)
Yes! I agree with you that the whole body type “rules” are helpful but not set in stone - wear what you love! I’m 5ft 1 and pretty much never wear heels, love long long dresses and oversized styles. I get loads of compliments on my style. Dressing like a petite person “should” just doesn’t feel me so I ignore it, and it works :)
Yes, love love love this! That is what it's all about. Thank you for sharing with us Sally!
I’m embracing my style as much as I can. Most days I either have to wear tracksuits for PE (4 days a week) or my work uniform (weekends) but I can honestly say I’ve styled them as much as I physically can. Every Wednesday I show up to school in a feminine dress or bright colours (I’ve been loving yellow, red and blue paired together, so my blue pinafore dress, red t shirt and giant yellow puffer is my favourite outfit ever) and I’ve just been loving it. Wish I had some more styling freedom, but I’m sure I’ll get some more opportunities to wear my nice clothes soon.
Yes, love that! Good for you, doing what you can with in the parameters of work. Thanks for sharing with us!!
Love it!! And I’m so happy you chose to highlight the apple shape. I’m an apple shape. So my mid section is something that I’ve had to learn over the years how to “hide” or create illusions around it. That may sound self hating but it’s not. I’m not one of those girls that wears anything to show my confidence, I like to look stylish and put together, that’s a confidence booster for me, not throwing on a bodycon because, ya know, who’s gonna stop me. But IM gonna stop me, because bodycons don’t suit my shape. But I can throw on a structured mini dress with some flare (not to be confused with babydoll, I loath babydoll silhouettes) that accentuates my waist and shows off my killer gams. I gained weight over the pandemic, and I never thought it would happen but I kinda got lost with how to dress myself, but more so going to work in the summer because I don’t like showing my arms and cardigans are too hot, and this was just a hot ass summer. I resorted to skirts and tshirts and I was not feeling it after a while. I hate when people wear too big (not oversized, oversized is different) or too small clothes and I found myself doing the too big thing. The skirts started to make me feel old, prudish, dowdy, and like they were crutches. I think it’s very important not to dumb down your style (if you care about style) because of your weight, but you should definitely be strategic and creative with how to create that B.E.A.C.H ass lewk (see what I did there lol) anyway I’m done ranting!! Thanks for another great video!! Many blessings to you on the house!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. And thanks so much for sharing your style with us. I love your attitude! I agree that you don't need to wear the tight shapewear to be confident, in fact sometimes I feel like it can do the opposite for some. Keep being fierce Nambie!
I love that this puts the focus on evaluating how a look is coming together, rather than blindly following hard and fast "rules". It helps me feel more creative without worrying about what is "right". 🌞
Love it!!! 👌❤️
Thank you Lena!!
You are correct Mnemonics are used to memorize anything while acronyms are usually to remember a line of words that make up a name of an organization or disease. Glad you are back and getting settled. Hope you didn't have much damage from storms in your area over weekend.
Thank you Jeanne!! And no damage over here!
It's an Acronym...but you knew that! It's a perfect way to engage us, but I am already engaged when I click 9n one of your videos and look at ,e scrolling through your library. Such great tips, I have to say, I have ordered (through your links) G Star jeans, which I am addicted to, and also the Everlane Dream pant and funnel neck sleeveless tops. I am just so happy with these purchases! Thank you for all of your hard work.
I am very much here for this red lip and white top combo 😍
Gr8 advice. I will add the Grid & Accentuation to my style. You still got a great behind 😝✌💯
Love your approach 👌
Thank you Rosi!
I appreciated this info. Gives me confidence to wear some outfits I like, but didn't think they worked. Your great hairdo has heightened your look, sweet pea. 😍
Thank you Mama! And glad you found the video helped you in your confidence!
Loving your hair 👌👌
Thank you so much 😀
Another info filled video. I can identify with your ur experience of dressing up for story times. I am currently going to language classes to learn Spanish and Am using it as an opportunity to push the boat as far as I can and feel good. Last few years I have been in a fashion rut. Now I am challenging myself to come out of it.
Great ideas! Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Fabulous. Thank you.
:-)
Awesome approach!
Glad you think so! Thank you Sanmeet!
Lengthen legs without heels with a pointy toe shoe! 🥿
Thank you for the tip Gwen!
Acronym maybe the word you’re looking for? Nice to see you back, hair looks great. Good advice.
Ahhhh Thank you Linda!!!!!
Thanks for the video! I dig the acronym. I’m 5’10”, & these days love accentuating my height whenever possible. 😊 Jumpsuits & wide leg pants are my jam!
Ahhh yes, if I was that tall I'd be wearing both of those all day!!
I like your presenting style...great enunciation, gestures, humble yet confident💪
Thank you so much 😃
How am I just now finding you?! Well, it's all good - the algorithm must love you, Emily! We do!💜
I friggin missed you!!!
:-) Thank you Sarah!!
I'm enjoying watching all your videos. I recently moved from the UK to an area where dressing in anything other than t-shirts and jeans is a bit different. I am loving your hair and when I go to my hairdresser in the next couple of weeks, I will ask her if she can incorporate a shave into the back of my just past chin length bob. I hope she can do it. I feel the need to be a bit fierce again, so thank you for the inspiration. Also I'm going to have a practice lining my eyes like you do...I can be a flamingo in amongst the pigeons.🦩🦩🦩
Yes! Be that beautiful flamingo!
I ❤ this concept!!
Thank you as always Emily, it's been a great 20 minutes of my day.......
And afterall, life is a BEACH ⛱ 😎 x
So glad you enjoyed the video Annette!! Thank you for your comment!
We here girl 🙋🏻♀️💁🏻♀️
Thank you Melina!
I found that the kibbe typing helped me the most. I love your boy style but it can only work on my shape if I use different fabric to attain that same aesthetic . It is really about finding the right fabric and shape. Also the golden rule is great to consider. Thanks for a great video!
Kibbe works for me too! It really helped me to stop comparing my body to others and instead embrace the lines and shapes that exist naturally within my body. Then once I got the basic gist, I was able to “break the rules” and really hone in on my style.
Yes, that is what I love about Kibbe as well. Helping people to understand their body and know they can't change it, so embrace it. I think that's what it's all about, is using these things as a foundation that you can build off. Thank you ladies!
A true “Theatrical Romantic” Kibbe type here!
B.E.A.C.H is an acronym. And I love love your channel.
I know this is an older video, but I wanted to comment. Knowing your own shape is *key*. I’m almost 60. I’ve only recently realized that I have very broad shoulders compared to “average” women. I couldn’t understand why women’s blouse and shirt sizes fit me everywhere except my shoulders and I was blaming the fashion industry for unattainable standards. Then I finally got out a measuring tape and compared my shoulders with average shoulders sizes (I googled various stats) and wow mind blown, now it all makes sense. 5:46
Yes with the red lipstick:)
PS -- Welcome back, gurl! We missed you.
Thank you Kerra!
I loved the Kibbe Image ID when I first heard about it because it managed to explain my "flaws". However, ain't nobody got time to be running around in tropical, flowy dresses in cafe latte and pastel colors. That is not my world. While we should dress to complement our lines instead of mask our perceived flaws, we need to love what we got and dress the hell out of it.
Dressing for your lifestyle. That can change throughout your life. Sometimes we need comfort. Sometimes we want to be fancy. I think we should just wear what gives us the best balance of comfort and confidence. I'm a soft natural and I did like the "explaining of flaws". It did teach me to embrace the fact I'll never be a Petite romantic or gamine. I'm built pretty "strong ", lol.
Yes, all so true. I agree on that I like how Kibbe breaks things down in a more specific way. But at the end of the day, yes, just wear what you love and you'll be fierce! Thanks both for your comments. Good to hear your points of views!
Missed you, great ideas. Do we get to see your new home? Would love to see how your style translates into decoration.
Yes, stay tuned. I am going to start doing some home interior design/decor videos soon showcasing our house. :-)
Give me a "B! Give me an "E"! Give me an "A, C, but especially H, H, H"! Tuesday is town day...Groceries, Coffee Shoppe, errands, maybe lunch with sister M...but I ALWAYS dress to rock the day. The rest of my weekly schedule is generally rural home inside and outside activities so fashion is comfortably casual. That said, I start each day with a full coffee pot and always wear make-up, because each day may bring a surprise visit or trip. Great acronym, by the way...
Love this, love your energy and love your approach to you daily life!! Thanks so much for sharing with us Lizzie! Enjoy your Town day!
I needed this video I'm rectangle so I wear gingham print, or houndstooth print bottoms or black n white checked print. Leather faux leggings or since it's colder velour I have a great booty but it's standard issue lol i.dont like oversized bottoms but I do have wide leg mens pants in a Size 33 30 fits great 👍
I often use my style (outfits) as an ice breaker. Along with a smile. 😁
Great, verry helpfull and I love your face!
I'm short waisted so I can never tuck anything in without looking ridiculous. I look for longer tops and duster length open layers to eloooooongate. Fun video, I was curious how you were going to explain compartmentalization. I'm working on having more intent in my jewelry, rather than just leaving the same thing on all the time. Inspired by you!
Thank you for your Joni!! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. I'm actually thinking about doing a video on compartmentalizing outfits because there is soooo much I could get into. Is there anything in particular you were wondering about?
@@EmilyWheatley I just hadn't heard that word used as far as style goes, but I'm really thinking it's a strong key to being intentional about our own uniqueness. I'd love to hear more on this for sure.
Hi Emily. I love your edgy style. You found your look intuitively. I've deffinitely done some of those looks over the years. Including the pixie and suits with sneakers. I'm only 5'4" but I've never felt short because of my rectangular frame and long limbs. Now I'm older and growing a long silver hair sexy look. I'm really impressed with the kibbee system. It's more about type that pears or apples. Lol. Check them out! Cheers from Toronto.
Thanks so much for sharing with us! I really like the kibbe system as well. And great choice with going silvery with the hair, love that look!
@@EmilyWheatley ⚘
Just found your channel and loving it. Are you in Portland, Oregon? If so, hello from NE!
I was for 3 years but moved back to Minnesota 2 years ago. Hello to NE! We lived there our first year. Loved that area!
💙💙💙 Heighten 💙💙💙
:-)
Did you get a haircut? It looks awesome!👌.
Great video your content is always so real and well thought through. Thank you.
I did get a hair cut, that day actually. Thank you Tracey :-)
May I please ask what lip brand/color you are wearing?
So happy to see you! Amy xo
It's bareminerals Lip Matte Liquid Lipstick but I don't think they make this specific color anymore but any of the true reds are pretty close.
Love most of this advice. Just not the flares. 😁 For reasons I can't quite figure out, every time I attempt them I think I look like Jery Lewis doing some crazy knock kneed walk. So no flares for me, because my brain takes them to an ugly place. Not because there is anything wrong with them.
I get that, there are pieces I do the same thing with.
🖤
I do like to throw the body-shape dressing rules to the winds sometimes. I know I shouldn’t wear a boatneck, for example, because it emphasizes my square shoulders, but, hey, here is a woman with strong shoulders. Deal with it.
Square shoulders are quite popular in Korea atm, it just shows that there is no objective beauty, so rock your body :D
Yes, exactly! Sometimes we don't need to mute these prominent beautiful features! Thank you for your comment!
These body type theories are a nice jumping off point. It made me think about my choices, but it didn’t change my style. The clothes that made me feel my best were within the parameters of my kibbe type, anyway. I think I may buy less mistakes now? 🤷🏻♀️
That is great Tamara! And a great way to put it, a jumping off point. Thank you for your comment!
Lifes a BEACH. Love it!
:-)
I Love the BEACH! 😊🙏🏼❤️
:-)
“Like!”
:-)
I am a plus size middle age pear, they tell me that I have to show my waist and do not go oversized. I feel good in my oversized shirts, trying to show my whists and my neck. I wear palazzo pants but I don’t wear heels, am I wrong? Maybe, but I am intentional and I like it.
Honestly, I say, if you like it and that's what makes you feel great, then go with that. Everything else, their guidelines, my tips, other's tutorials, should only be suggestions there if you need them. But if you're happy with your style, well then I say Bravo!
🤩All dressed up and nowhere to go🤭..dress for myself to be best version of myself👏👏..💋
Exactly!!
BEACH is an acronym, like SCUBA, in that each letter corresponds to a word. It is also a mnemonic, as it is a memory cue. 😁
I love your fashion videos. I'll meet you at Whole Foods with my silky floral wide-leg pants. 😎💙💪👖
Mnemonic device-memory technique
Thank you Lauren!
Elongate - Do you still recommend high waisted jeans and trousers for people with long torsos or would that conflict with the Balance objective?
I think paired with a crop top its great. I'm long torso'd and they are my preference. They fit me like a midrise pant, lol.
@@labornurse I read that you're a soft natural. I'm either dramatic or flamboyant natural. I'm 5'6 with a long torso as well, so I wasn't sure if it's possible to be any of those i.d with long torso. I assumed the vertical line came from legs. However I definitely have the vertical line.
@@mkim4091 you can definitely have a long torso with those IDs. A good example (because we could see most of their unclothed body) : The traditional victorias secret models were flamboyant naturals, and they always had some of the most elongated torsos I've ever seen ( and legs).
I definitely think high waisted jeans look good with long torsos. Because it goes back to compartmentalizing, which I think is great for people with long torsos because it helps to define a line where you choose and separate the torso from the rest of the body. If you don't define that line, it gets lost. I don't know if that makes sense. I think I'll be doing a video that speaks only to compartmentalizing.
@@labornurse 7/8 trousers fit me like a full length pant! Long torso and shorter legs that I inherited from my dad.
Acronym?
Yes, Thank you Ann!
Life’s a B.E.A.C.H !
;-)
I'm 5' 4 1/2". I've never felt the need to appear longer. I do have very short legs and find it difficult not to look odd. My short legs are so obvious. I don't wear heels anymore. Nothing over 2".

Acronym!
Acronym I think
Yes, thank you Jan!!
Acronym
I think you're looking for the word acronym
Yes, thank you!!
I joke that I have 5’10” legs on a 5’3” body. Being short-waisted sucks. And having a bust. Mid-rise is high rise on me.
Acromyn
Can you talk about compartmentalizing more? Showing different silhouettes, please. I don't quite get it
I definitely can. I was thinking I may need to do a video on it as there is so much to say on it. Thank you Candice.
