Hi, love your channel! We are almost same size, height, colouring and we have very similar taste and body style, I also love natural fabrics without synthetics. Perfect. I think you should return the cardigan because you have many things that look amazing and if you are like me a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to fit, it will bother you that it's not perfect. Maybe they will restock after Christmas? Best wishes.

Luxury brands only change their strategies for the super rich...The price increases of Fendi, LV, Givenchy and the like are nonsense. Therefore, those ordinary rich people or middle- and upper-class people who can really afford it need to think twice before buying it. If they are just looking to save face, they will buy from kislux .

I just bought a fake kislux and I love the fact that I didn't have to spend 3-4k on it. Yes, it's beautiful, but it's just a bag and no one cares if it's real or fake. I have a lot of real stuff that no one cares about.

What I want to say is that I spent less than $ 100 from the fake LV I bought from kislux . The quality is very good. I spent four years on the plane, the bus, and anywhere. As a rag. I specially smelled the bag and compared the stitching color. This is the most authentic I have ever seen. To this day, this bag is still very strong. Although it has been abused, the material is still great.

I totally agree, that your wardrobe staples should support YOUR lifestyle! For me personally, I don´t own a single pair of ballet flats. They don´t support my feet and when I try to walk in them, I look like a duck. If I´m looking for a nice and comfortable shoe for the warmer month, I usually wear a nice sandal. I also don´t have any use for a beige trenchcoat. In fact, nothing in my wardrobe is beige, it just looks horrible on me, and my outer layer is usually a dark colour. What I own that most people would not consider a staple, is a black leather pencil skirt. I wear it year in, year out to a lot of different occasions in a lot of different styles. Thinking of costs per wear, this is probably the one piece in my wardrobe that was worth it´s money the most.

An excellent and relevant video, Ana Paula. I just returned from being home in Toronto for 2 months and I was sorely tempted by the Sephora savings event. For those who know me, I do not wear makeup and my real interest is skincare. After spending hundreds of dollars on items I did not need, I returned almost everything. The products were all unused and I gave my reason for return as “buyer’s remorse”. I have decided to be more cautious about how I spend my money.

Hi Ana! I have to agree with you about loafers. I know they're extremely popular right now, but I can't get past how masculine they look, so they've never become a part of my wardrobe. I don't own a pair of leggings because I don't like the feeling of something so tight around my legs. (I don't have any skinny jeans for the same reason.) I see both everywhere I go though, so I know I'm in the minority where I live, here in Texas. I own several denim jackets, but I don't reach for them very often. I do like the way they look, but I find them a bit restrictive. The same goes for my blazers, which is why they never get worn. Like you, I also find them a bit too dressy for my lifestyle.
