    I would only add don't be stuck on a size number. Not all clothing manufacturers sizes are consistent. It's better to size up and tailor to fit your body. An outdoor also will look better if it's looser and you're not straining your seams and buttons. I'll wear anything from an xl, 16 to 2x and 20. It really depends on the garment. Our bodies also fluctuate a few pounds back and forth through the month. It's nice to have things to wear on your thinner or fluffier days.

  • @krisrb3341
    @krisrb3341 Před měsícem +7

    For fall….definitely wide calf boots, always a challenge to get a classic pair that are not too trendy. Also long cardigans…what materials don’t cling but skim the body and what lengths work best for different body types…..I just watched you for the first time…and I thought your genuineness, honesty, and positivity is truly refreshing! I wish you all the best and thank you for your succinct advice and body positive message….

    2 things that have transformed the way I buy clothes and wear them, learning my shape and learning to use a sewing machine to alter my clothes. I always described my self as a uk size 12/14 but I’ve found that I’m more like a 16 in some brands on some days. Many factors can affect your size, hormones, bloating etc. I tend to buy bigger if I’m torn between 2 sizes and tailor to my measurements if necessary 👗

    • @naomiomi7340
      @naomiomi7340 Před měsícem +2

      This is sooooooo key. Learn shape and what suits your body needs. Then tailor to fit that shape. Makes SUCH a difference. Sometimes for me, just hoisting the whole garment up at the shoulders by 1 or 2 inches takes a dress from meh to yessss! Sometimes buying a size bigger, so you have space where you need it and altering the rest is the beat course of action.

I love the looks you showed, but i definitely can't show all that skin! I also look best in long lengths (I'm 1m80, i think that's around 5'10 or 11). I live in a hot country, but people cover up (especially older women like me) for religious reasons, but that doesn't mean i want to walk around in a tent.

    Great explanation and the visuals are spelling it out!
    First and foremost, yes one must have that "baddie/hottie" confidence!
    The white dress example is so on point. Who would have guesed? The second dress looks like a bedsheet!
    The magenta dress isnt working. The cutout dress is hot AF!! (Yes I said it!)
    The two piece white maxi is hot as well.

    also, for fall/winter, i think it's how to layer and "dump the frump" b/c i look cray cray drowning in too many clothes. +finding the perfect coat silhouette to not look like the michelin man (both casual & dress) or blazers. also combo w/things like thigh high or knee high boots and dresses or jeans/pants. HIGH QUALITY pieces vs fast fashion that won't last the season.

    All this is how we used to shop for clothes over 100 yrs ago. Getting the sillouette was the goal, size itself wasn't. People would use corsettes and padding to create the structure, and that would be how you got the look, not necessarily changing your actual body.

      Also best advice I received from an older friend years ago was “try it on anyways!” It may not look great on a hanger, TRY IT on anyways! Or you might love it on the hanger and it looks meh on. Be open to trying new things. It has served me well over the years.
