Excellent Emily....💜your videos...I’m 70 years young , classic with an edge has been my go to. You are the first intelligent fashion person I have come across. You break the steps down which makes it a lot easier to tackle. I’ve listened to a few over the years!!! It can be tricky as you get older!!! Confidence is key and being yourself.
Well done thank you 😊💐⭐️🍒
It does get trickier to avoid falling into the typical look when we get older. I feel like I have to fight it all the way.
I'm so glad to hear that the videos are helpful! It makes it all worth it for me :-) Thank you for your comments!
Cherry I could not agree MORE! I am the same age as you and I have just found Emily. she is teaching me in such a doable way, I only wish I had met her earlier.
Your the minimalist youtuber i found that looks so stylish and not boring look.
I sew, and love the feel of good fabric. I had a friend come up to me and run her hand down my arm. When I looked at her with a question, she said “Oh sorry, you’re clothes always feel so good, I just had to check it out.”
Haha love that!
Hi Emily..I used to be the worst for shopping all the time and just buying on sale items. This video is sooo good , especially for people who were like me…just buying to be buying. It is still a good reminder to me to not buy anything unless I really love it. I also will not wear something that is not comfortable. I realized my style has changed. I wore black when I did hair full time. But then I would buy loud color trendy pieces that got worn maybe once . You would make a great stylist. I know you said you would not be for everyone, but I think there are a lot of Emily Wheatley people out there…maybe one day when your boys are older. ❤❤❤❤
#Lovethis Thanks Emily! I want to jump up & go through my closet, but I keep finding another of your videos...I digress!
Sharing here: About being practical...I had been gifted a lovely cashmere sweater that had a few holes (nothing too horrible) that I used for housework. It gave the piece another life, was lux, practical and I didn't have to worry about it.
About 'spilling stuff on yourself'. I have 2 x linen napkins that I carry in my lunch box. I eat in my car (for peace & quiet), putting one napkin on my lap, and the other I hang from a dental bib clip thingy (Amazon). Protecting my clothes during lunch has saved me from laundry/replacing clothing quicker than necessary. If I am traveling, I'll keep a cloth napkin in my purse too. Changing from my work clothes when I come home & use aprons when cooking has also kept from ruining many shirts. #loungewear
Hi Emily, learning a lot from you. You should write a book! I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else on CZcams give such thoughtful and thorough advice as you do. I am committed to feeling good in my clothing, and it is a difficult thing to do!
Thank you so much Nette! I definitely want to write a book. Hopefully I will find some time soon. :-)
Every video ..💯 I am here for them! So glad I recently discovered your CZcams channel... ❤️😁👏💯
Emily, you break this down in the most intelligent, comprehensive way that anyone could watch this and know exactly how to go about starting capsule wardrobe. Thank you. Oh, that tip about fabric…. everything. I have tried to explain this to some people and they look at me like wtf?! Stay well 🙏🏻💜
Thank you so much Lisa! So glad it is helpful because it makes creating the video so worth it. :-)
Love your intelligent approach ❤
I love v neck cotton t shirts from very good makes. Mostly black ones. I wear them with most of my clothes. Very interesting video.
Protecting myself from myself- love it! Oh and that is me too! Thanks 🙏
I love your style. I have hour glass shape. Can you make about a video about how to make boyish charm with hour glass shape.
I always wink spontaneously while watching your intro when u do it 😊
Haha that's amazing! Love that! The song sort of calls for it doesn't it :-)
As always, Emily, you break it down in a way that makes it easier for me to go shopping for the right pieces. Thank you, sister!
So glad to hear that Cheyenne!! Thank you for your comment!
This episode really clicked for me in a way that makes it so much easier to know the what and why of de-cluttering decisions. I feel excited, like my skills have just been upped. 🌞💚
Hey Emily, this video is phenomenal. The way you break down each step, give specific examples and share the thinking process behind it makes extremely easy to understand. Each question really makes you think about why and how to choose a piece that you absolutely love and we all want to love everything we own. These questions are also important to consider before each purchase. This is a video is one i can see myself re-watching over and over, each time I want to create a capsule wardrobe - i will save this to me playlist for sure. Thank you as always and love love love your channel - you are amazing! xx
PS. Thanks for the worksheets too ❤
I'm so glad that you found it helpful! It is great to get that feedback when you work hard on something to create exactly what you just said, a way for people to know they really love everything they own. Thank you for your comment Cin!
This the most complete video I have seen on this subject! Good job! For me, anchor pieces are always the bottoms: they are the most difficult to find (to purchase) the most difficult to fit my shape and usually the most expensive items in my wardrobe! Agree with white items: cannot afford to wash them each time I wear them!
I'm with you there, I feel like I gravitate to making bottoms my anchor pieces a lot of the times too. Thank you for your lovely comment Janic!
Excellent video - informative without being overwhelming. A really useful series - thank you Emily.
Yay! Glad you enjoyed it!
Can’t wear cashmere….no matter the brand or price it makes me itchy! Heavy cotton turtleneck sweaters for me. Love your work!
Yea I get that for sure, I usually have to always have a layer between me and skin. Cotton sweaters are still my fav too!
Thank you so much !!
This is so inspiring, going to New Zealand for two weeks in April … think I got my style sorted😉
Wow! Extremely helpful, Emily.
So glad to hear Mary!
Thank you! Very informative! Nailed it!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for breaking this down so well. Really enjoy your content! Keep it up and your subscriber numbers re going to blow up one day soon! 🍾
Much appreciated!
This is great! I use my phone's notepad to list what to ask myself before I buy something. I also keep my wishlist there too.
That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing with us Joni!
This is an awesome video. Just jam-packed with education. Oh man.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I always had to keep the best and most pretty clothes for special occasians and photoshoots - well.. that's what my parents wanted... I ended up not being able to wear some of the clothes wich i absolutely loved. 7 months ago i got diagnosed with cancer. I would have only a few weeks to live so bad the situation was. I have some great willpower , positivity and i think a few very sweet angels, because i am clean. The medics call me a walking mirracle... :P Having cancer learned me a lot of things. One of the things is wear what you want to wear, do what you always wanted to do. Don't wait with clothes or making memories, because you might end up never getting the chance to do it.... What do you have if you never get to wear those perfect clothes or only thinking about that grat holliday or go skydiving if you never ever will do it? It is just like you said: those clothes are to wear not only to look nice in your closeth :) Thanks for your great video's. I really enjoy watching them 🙏🏻💜
Wow what an inspiring story! I'm so glad you're cancer free. Still sorry you had to go through all that but sounds like you came out with some beautiful life perspective. Thanks so much for sharing with us Kelly!! :-)
@@EmilyWheatley Thank you for your kind reply Emily :) It is a long and hard road.. But where there is a will there is a way. All the beautifull things i've learned, the way i look at things, all the wonderful people i have met. All those things ( how painfull and terrible cancer and the treatments can be) make me happy. Getting cancer in my life also brought me so much good things that i feel like this was just what i needed to find myself. Ps. My hair is starting to grow back again and i almost can't wait to get a simular haircut like yours :D
Great video! Keep it up 🔥
THank you Allyse!
Hello from Indonesia, Emily!!! This video is the one I didn't know I needed the most!
That is so great!! Hello to Indonesia!!
I have an anchor piece that I love so much. I have a pair of pull on twill pants that are satin lined and fit me beautifully. I usually struggle with finding the perfect pants. So my question: Is it okay to but 5 pairs of these pants? I do wear them every day. They are so versatile but does that limit me? Thanks again for another great video!
Totally, if those are what you love and want to revolve the rest of your wardrobe around, then that's what you should choose!
You make it seem so easy - I overthink things - I totally understand protecting *me* from *me* and “Is it functional”, no matter how much I like it or like the *idea* of it - I literally have so many things I’ve bought but never worn, everything from a leather jacket, trench coat, white jeans, black stiletto booties, black Harley Davidson booties (the edgy part I like), white button downs (because the white seems too overwhelming), on and on….I bet someone would have a field day putting together outfits for me. I don’t get rid of these basics because I think maybe I just haven’t figured out how to style them that’s comfortable to for me - sounds lame I’m sure - who can’t style a white button down or leather jacket? So basic, yet I haven’t done it. I used to buy things that were a good deal (brand) without thinking about fabric, color, or structure, like I do now - I can’t stand tight synthetic fabrics, even in a tank top. I also don’t like flowy, loose things either - I need some kind of “structure”, like a stiffer cotton and more fitted around the waist - my comfort zone for work and in general is jeans (or fitted pants, not too tight or too loose), a button down shirt, and loafers, flats. Converse shoes, or a bootie (in the winter). I also like cardigans- they’re dressy and casual at the same time. I don’t wear much jewelry, except studded earrings and a necklace with a pendant or something basic. I’m very drawn to stripes, navy blue, black, white, and bright pink - I look terribly washed out in beige, cream, dusty pink, etc. BUT those are the classic, timeless colors I wish I could wear - how can someone incorporate those colors if they really aren’t flattering right up to the face, besides a scarf around the neck? It’s funny because I started shopping for shirts by looking through the rack backwards, to check for a collar first - then I make sure it’s a good color and fabric - if it has ruffles it’s a dealbreaker. My husband can even rule things out when we’re at a thrift store!! I’m THAT predictable 😆
If I'm washed out in a certain color and plan to wear it. I change my makeup to add more coloring so I don't get washed out. If you don't wear make up you can used layering pieces with colors that do work for you to balance it out. Hope that helps a bit. Thanks for your comment!
I just found this chanel 😍 I love it.. good video and I xan say good arguments bout how important is the fabrics example I'm have eczema problems. I cannot use polyester. 😫 so I started buy all my clothes .cotton. some cashmere. Etc etc.. but still working on it build my personal perfect wardrobe 👌.. thx 4 all .. blessed 🙌
You definitely understand then. Thank you Grecia!
Really appreciate your different way of building a capsule. And your acknowledgement that you have to weigh up aesthetics and practicality. Cashmere yes, white jeans a step too far. Same in my mum life. Love from England!
Thank you Anna!! I'm glad you like the approach. Hello to England!!
Is it comfortable for fit, fabric AND function? Love your videos ♡
Exaaaactly Michele!! :-)
This is kind of random- I'm definitely interested in seeing how you decorate your new home. I guess the term "anchor piece" made me think of living rooms. I know you're a bit ambivalent about making home decorating videos, but I would watch them, for sure.
I will actually be coming out with some home decor videos soon :-) So stay tuned.
Were the worksheets removed? I just discovered this channel today and would love to use them as I curate my closet!
I think they expired but I will see what I can do about reinstating.
Can you do the cobalt blue module? Love seeing you. Thank you
If I can get my hands on a few cobalt blue pieces, I will. Thank you for commenting!
Can your anchor piece be shoes? I feel like my Doc Marten Chelsea boots are my piece, and I try to find jeans and pants and styles that go with that. I am kind of retro 80s new wave at least I like to tell myself i am lol
For sure! I'd say they're not the ideal but if you're inspired by them, then go for it!
What are the baggy jeans you’re wearing in this video? They’re adorable and look so comfy.
Emily are you wearing a base layer and roll neck tank? Could you link them ? X
Here is the sleeveless turtleneck I'm wearing (my affiliate link): rstyle.me/+tkhexDG7pNpd0yuPZMmlSQ I think the black is sold out though :-( And then the long sleeve is just a basic one I've had for years.
Me half listening to you while making homemade Hash browns .... "Maybe you feel like you can't wear cashmere...."
Me: "WEAR THE CASHMERE!!!"
Lol
PS I really like and appreciate these types of videos. I remember the one where you were talking about your closet like a department store , and having your closet set up in different modules. It was innovative, and inspiring to me! Although my closet is a work in progress the idea of little capsules within it is really fun, and mood dependant outfits are something we all can relate to!
Haha yes, agreed!
Yes, that's what I love is having little modules. I'm glad you like that idea. Hope you're having fun with the process of your wardrobe :-)
I used to run really really warm. Now, as I am older & colder, YAHOOOOO - I can finally enjoy cashmere.
Great video! I like your turtleneck, where did you get it? 😀
Everlane, think is in the description. It is my favorite go to.
Sorry this is off topic, but, what product(s) do you use to keep your front hair up and off your face?
I blow dry it back first and then I'm using R&Co's Flexible Paste to smooth and control. I also use their Dry Texture cream for volume and texture.
Every time I wear a white shirt I end up spilling my coffee on it .. never fails..black shirt I keep it clean somehow.. lol
Most comfortable are my Alo sweats. Can’t look good in sweatpants, can you? I can’t stand anything tight.
“Just protecting myself from myself!”
Omg I can't wear polyester tight pants and leggings either. Wasted so much money over the years on uncomfortable clothes 🙄
Oh good, glad I'm not the only one. :-)
Polyester has no place in my closet…
I do wonder how many hours other women spend shopping. It can take me 3 hours in the mall to find something i love - and then the chances of it also fitting me perfectly and being in a quality fabric is about the same as me winning the lottery. If i applied all those rules i'd be walking around naked most of the time, or be shopping for my wardrobe as a full time job. Do other people routinely find things that just fit them perfectly?!
Amen. I don’t have an easy body to fit-big shoulders, no hips, and I’m glad to find something that fits at all, plus I’m 73 years old. Wish I could find pieces that I love, make statements, etc. Great video though. Wish I had a personal shopper or were 50 years younger!
White jeans just dont work. Cue the waterworks.
