Yes, I survive with a ten item wardrobe and extras for layering. I wear skirts and dresses with tights and boots and feel warm and comfy, all winter.

People are always 'picking up by the side of the road.' I never see anything like those !

I love that waxed jacket on you! Great fall capsule! I have a crushed velvet tank in a berry color I've been trying to incorporate into my capsule for a year now. I love it, but find I never actually reach for it. Going to try again this fall.

❤❤❤

I’ve always loved having a more minimalistic, intentional wardrobe. I mostly wear dresses at this point because it’s such an easy one piece outfit. Paired with sweaters and tights in the winter, it so easy and effortless, not to mention warm! I love your waxed jacket, I just picked up something similar (perhaps the same!) at a rummage sale a week ago for $3, J. Crew! 💚

I enjoy your videos so much, your Voice is so calming! It’s rare that i can watch videos on repeat! Would love a DITL video. 🥰

I have a philosophical question. What is the difference between a 333 situation and a 10 item plus extras? I am thinking that the difference might be in the way you prioritize but I’m not sure. Second question, how do you deal with sweat in the summer with only 10 pieces? Could just be a hot flash thing but it does get hot here.

Hello, you have been a busy lady with the new videos you are putting out. They are a joy to watch. Being in my 70's I so wish I knew way back what I know now of clothing. Not one to be such a shopper, fashionable or keeping up with the new look for the year/season, I had more clothes and shoes than needed by far. Now that I do not have places to go, things to do away from home, I have a very modest closet of 3 main skirts, one jumper and 4 blouses that I wear. Jumper is printed fabric, one skirt is also, the other skirt and blouses are solid colors. As I wear an apron daily, I wear my clothing for a week and then wash. I do have two very old skirts that are patched that I wear when out in the yard working. I have 2 pairs of shoes, one pair sandals the other clog style. Living in the deep south, there is no real need for winter clothing, but one pair of gloves and one sweater. My jumper is for the monthly errand run I must do and I have a broach I wear to look more appealing. I quit long ago wearing any jewelry or makeup. My personal journey on that. I have never been happier in how and what I know now, as I said, wish I was so in tune to it long ago. Keep up the good works. In Joy

I had the French furniture growing up. My daughter used it as she was growing up and now her little girl is using it, we love the history of it. Love all you do with your home.

Your home is lovely, & you’ve been so clever in your decorating

Just found u, really enjoying u. I'm in ky, what part r 😊

Where is that beautiful, colorful floral wallpaper from where the green and pink dresser sits? The same floral wallpaper in your background when you’re speaking? It is stunning!!

I'm senior with disabilities and no family so not everyone has equal access.

I love the heavy texture on your walls.

Your videos are lovely! Thank you for sharing

Love the armoire. I am always searching craigslist for free china cabinets and armoires, which I have been successful in finding these. I find that people dont want china cabinets and buffets any longer and people are willing to just give them away. Love what your doing with your home.❤

That Davis cabinet dresser is a great find-Davis was a fine furniture maker in Nashville that made really great pieces. I’ve taken up going to estate sales on the weekend for some of the best stuff and prices in my area. I’m just south of you in East Tennessee and also live in a rural farmhouse.

The level of detail and amount of information in this video is amazing! Thank you for sharing so much about your journey!!!

I have a photo of the Annie Sloan wardrobe saved to my phone! You did an amazing job with your interpretation. I have thrifted Waterford crystal that still had the stickers on it that was so fun and I love it but my favorite is probably our 2 sofas. One feminine. One masculine. Same length. Symmetry but interesting.

Yes! In the 80s, I, too, had the yellowed white with gold trim Provencal bedroom set with a four-poster canopy twin with a high boy dresser and one bedside table. I hated it. Lol. Also, on the paint, I started using Latex in eggshell and then topping it with the waxes. It gives the same look as the chalkpaint and wax. Although I haven't used a dark wax, only the clear. That might be something to test first before one would try. Lastly, you look really pretty with the way you styled your hair and makeup in these last few videos. I really liked this video.😊

Besides coffee, thrifting is my other joy in life. i love browsing and upcycling and it's the thrill of the find when something was ridiculously expensive from a shop i would never pay retail for. My kids are so rough on furniture too. I won't give myself anymore aneurisms and buy brand new for couches, chairs or tables. I think I'm a happier mum when I'm not emotionally and financially invested in the furniture, and we can just live in our own house. The old furniture is so much more durable, and forgiving compared to newer modern materials. it's also easier to refinish if it gets banged up.

Paint makes me nervous but my kitchen chairs need repainting. Also the surface of the kitchen table needs refinishing. But these will probably be summer projects. I really like how the dresser and the armoire turned out!

HAPPY FALL SATURDAY IN OCTOBER Kathleen and family! THRIFTING IS MY JAM! Love French Country Style. Love what you did with the furniture. Hopefully one day you can give us a full house tour. Will you Host Thanksgiving and Christmas? Do you make Turkey and Ham? Sharing recipes would be very nice. Enjoy your weekend. STTB; SHARED TO THE BURGH; Pittsburgh PA🧡💘💘💘

Thanks for sharing this Kathleen ❤❤

I just adore thrifting quality pieces...will be wearing a beautiful purple maroon Alpaca wool sweater and a great navy blue cashmere sweater this season! Thanks for sharing!

I LOVE seeing your collection of curated items and what you are drawn towards! I definitely prefer more items in my rotation; I find that 10 tops & 10 bottoms works well for me, so 20 items in all (not counting layering). The reason for this that I mostly wear skirts, and I need them in various lengths. (3 pencil skirts, 2-3 midi, 3 maxi) plus 1 pair of jeans I have currently, that makes 10 bottoms. Not including any dresses. And tops I need at least 10, because I have a baby and my aprons don’t cover spit up on the shoulder and I don’t walk around with a burp cloth. So that seems like a lot for a “10 item wardrobe” but it REALLY helps my personal style, which is split 50/50 for Preppy/Vintage and Bohemian/western. So I’d have 5 tops in more preppy “Ralph Lauren” style, and 5 Bohemian blouses to style over skirts or my pair of jeans. That’s not including layers! Like vests, jackets, cardigans, sweaters. But given my lifestyle and climate, it works well for me and it’s been great for discovering my personal style! I find if I swing too much in one direction (doing super preppy and neglecting the free-spirited bohemian) than I feel stifled and not like myself. So I need enough pieces to depict that range. 💛 I aim for about 30 pieces for a well-rounded wardrobe, including dresses but not including layering.

Please bring the pink chair back. I know it’s not my living room. Lol. I just enjoy imagining you sitting there with a friend, some snacks, and cups of tea while you share the ottoman. You might actually never sit there in real life😉 I am fascinated by the shrine. What’s the purpose? Is it just for meditation and prayer or is it more specific? Thank you for educating me. 🧡🍁

I follow you and have been doing a ten item wardrobe for the last two years, love it! Makes life so much easier and I do try to thrift everything.

My biggest struggle with the 10 items is South Carolina. Seriously, our weather. 🙄 It was in the 40s last week and today is nearly 80. It’s like we have all the seasons in a week

The wool skirt and blouse look beautiful on you!

Lovely ❤ I love your channel 😊

Loved your video! I think Jennifer L Scott is a great resource! She counts her core items and leaves it open for extras like tops and layering pieces,outerwear and shoes and PJs It gives a bit more flexibility so that alot of the core items tend to be dresses or bottoms!

Thanks for the moss and lamp updates! ❤ Looking good!

Last year, I picked up a white button-up shirt, and I just don't feel as put together as I look. What I mean is when I look at myself in the mirror, I think it looks good, but that is not how I feel when im out and about. I feel more like I'm trying to hard. How do we get past that feeling?

I live on the north east coast of usa and it gets really cold so i have wool coat sweaters over a shirt...I find wool is the warmest material in winter and fleece...is that your barn and 🐎 horses in the background?

Lovely ❤

I love the scenery! Your 10 items look great and I so enjoy your fashion videos.

❤

Hi Kathleen! Thank you for this inspiring video. I found your channel about a week ago. I really enjoyed seeing your fall decor, especially the change to the lamp. The new harp made a huge difference! Also, thanks for the information about John Derian. I loved some of the pieces you showed. The turkeys and the feather plate were stunning. I have done more this year than I usually do. We splurged a little at Hobby Lobby and invested in some faux flowers. I had a lot of fun making the arrangements. 😊🌷🌸

Beautiful flowers, nice video. Fall is my favorite time of the year. I have pumpkins and mums on my porch now and I am putting out the fall decor in the house. I use a fall blanket on the back of my sofa and change it with the seasons. The lamp looks good too.

I used to have a french style chair I got at Joske's, which later became macy's. I got rid of it because it was beige leather, NOT thinking I could've had it reupholstered in fabric! I also had a small setee in french style that could've been reupholstered! I'm sick because I've gotten rid of lots of pieces because obviously i liked them, but I didn't know how to make it work!😮 thanks for the encouragement, I'm an old woman, but I still want to make my retirement home feel comfy and put together!

I agree, the lamp looks so good now!

Flowers are amazing! I congrat you for the effort. It's perfect. 😊

Do you homeschool? Love that Secretary desk!

HAPPY FALL SATURDAY IN OCTOBER Kathleen and family! Do you host Thanksgiving and Christmas? Will you share recipes? Thanks for the tips and ideas. Enjoy your weekend. STTB; Shared To The Burgh; Pittsburgh PA🍁🍁🍁🍁🍂🍂🍂🍂

yoghurt can age terracotta pots, I've heard it can help with moss growth as well but i don't have anywhere to test the theory for paths. those gardens are divine, I'm a sucker for blue salvia and ornamental cabbage. Wow love the range at target, i hope we get it here. I'm in the middle of making some custom display shelves / plate rack for my kitchen. i think something used to be in that spot but was probably removed at some stage in the last 100 years. Then i can finally decorate for the season.

The flowers at the shrine were gorgeous! I want to find a cover for my family room couch too. I guess to find the right size, I should look at table-clothes and curtains. I have put some bronze mums and orange pumpkins on my porch steps to decorate for fall. Nice video!

The "dust pans" hanging on the peg rail are adjustable shelves for candles or lamps.

I LOVE videos like this. I have an idea in my head of what I want but then it’s hard to translate that to my decor! Thank you for not being disparaging of those of us who shop at Walmart or Ross and who don’t have an array of authentic items! That was really uplifting 💖 I adore the same style as you and have always been drawn to that Neoclassical look.
