I think the Scott looks really lovely on you

The camel Scott is gorgeous on you but the beige other one might be more comfortable. I guess it depends where and how often you will use them.

I definitely prefer the first one. Both in terms of the colour against your skin tone and the overall fit. It's far more flattering on your petite frame. The other two seem far more casual (horse riding???) and the cut seems to overpower you and disguise your features. From my own experience, as a petite lady, I have often made the mistake of purchasing clothes that are far more suited to taller girls or loose and flowy (but don't accentuate my best features). Yes, yes, definitely the first one!!! ❤

The camel Clyde.

They are all gorgeous E! I personally love the Clyde, it’s stunning, and has an amazing detail inside. Easy to throw on and very versatile. Wow, beautiful packaging too. I also like your the original trench, lightness and colour so, personally I would keep original and buy the Clyde as a statement piece . You can also put a wide belt on the Clyde for definition. The Scott is perfect fit, but shade is quite dark. But they all look great! ❤

I like the shape and length of the Scotch, BUT the plaid lining and light beige of the Clyde! I thing the first one has and nicer shape and fit on you!

i like the more structured one. but the 2nd beige is good for every day.

The first one - the Scott looks best on you in terms of style. You’re petite and it doesn’t swallow you up. It’s chic. The colour is nice. It adds a warmth- which is visually appealing in cold dreary weather. The lining of the Scott will slide over knits and bulky layers better than the cotton poly lining of the Clyde. Try both over some of your more “sticky” knits that resist slipping into a coat to see if it’s an issue. I would go with the Scott and let go your original coat (sell or donate) and return the Clyde if I were you. If unsure then put your original coat aside till you’re sure & ready to let it go. The Clyde coat swallows you up, the lines are sack like. Maybe a very tall person would look good in it but even then I have my doubts. It’s a sack. No style lines to suggest your nice figure underneath.

I love the first one. It's so flattering on you! It looks so elegant, classic and well made. The fact that you can tie in front or back gives it a different look. The second one I think is not as flattering. It doesn't look expensive, even though it is. I guess it depends on what look you want. Do you prefer the looser, more casual unfitted look or the more refined elegant and classic look? -- Barbara

Scot

I like the Scott trench but wish it was beige, it doesn’t come in that color? I love the turn up sleeve of the Clyde and the beige color of the that style, but those coats look like a bag. Sorry. Maybe a smaller size in that one? If I was you I would keep the Scott and your old one. Two different colors and weight. If you don’t wear the old one enough, declutter it in the spring or summer.

Slide in beige looks good and easy, belted creases the clothes underneath.

I understand your dilemma. Even though they are all trench coats the styles are so completely different. I think it all depends on when and where you're planning on wearing the trench and what sort of vibe you want to feel on those occasions. My preference goes to the 1st coat you tried, the Scott, to me it feels more versatile: it would work just as well to pop round to the shops or go for a walk around the neighbourhood as an evening out with friends or family for instance. It feels more chic and feminine but can be given a relaxed vibe with a pair of sneakers and a chunky scarf around the neck. It would also look amazing with pumps, booties or even boots. Works well with skirts/dresses, jeans or a smarter pair of trousers or even over a pair of sweat pants. The lining is also made of nicer fabric. The Clyde gives a more relaxed vibe overall and looks super comfy. You could definitely wear more layers under it without feeling uncomfortable. I'm not sure about the length of it on you. The camel version looks like it almost swallows you up, the beige one looks much better. The Clyde feels less versatile and I don't know how practical it would be to be driving while wearing it considering the length and the fact that there are no buttons at the split (I don't drive so... 🤷🏻). To me it gives more of a countryside vibe (and there's nothing wrong with that, I love that style!). I can picture someone wearing it over a thick jumper, a pair of jeans, a warm scarf and a nice pair of wellies to go for a long walk out in nature. I find it more difficult to picture it with a skirt or a dress, possibly because of the length. But I could be wrong. I'm no stylist ☺ Am I wrong in feeling that you seemed to have a bit of a preference for the Scott? I felt that you went into much more detail when you described it. Those are my thoughts. It all comes down to how you want to feel when you wear the coat, when and where you think you would be wearing it and so on all the while trying not to fall in the fantasy self trap (and that's not always easy...). If you go for the Clyde I would recommend the beige one. Good luck 🍀 and sending hugs 🤗🌺

I like the first one with it tied in the back.

My personal choice for you would be the rain Mac (Clyde) in either colour. It is chic indeed.

I plan to go through my winter coats and jackets this year. I love a trench coat, had one my whole adult life. I have a vintage Mac-style raincoat which belonged to my mother, bought on Regent Street, London, in the early 60s. Not a trench, but timeless. My everyday trench is M&S which I purchased in the 80s. The quality of the M&S trench is out of this world, they don’t make anything like it now. The coats and jackets i declutter regularly are the puffer ones, because they only ever last one year before looking less than great.

What a difficult decision! This is the sort of dilemma I have very often when trying to declutter items of clothing. For example, I have several long-sleeved tees. They have slightly different necklines, fabric and weight. I prefer different tees depending on the weather and occasion or activity. I wear them all but would prefer to have fewer items in my wardrobe from which to choose. The trench coats that you are considering are all gorgeous and look very elegant on you. They are also very versatile and practical. Personally, I think the first one is the best choice because it looks smarter for more formal occasions while also being suitable for more everyday use. The look can also be varied by tying the belt in different ways. The second coat looks so comfortable and could perhaps accommodate bulkier winter clothes. It is also a better length for colder, wetter weather. I really like the camel colour on you, although I guess the lighter colour would match a wider colour palette (perhaps check the colours against the clothes you will wear this autumn/winter). Not sure what I would do in your situation. Love this sort of content.

U should keep both scott and clyde in beige, clyde looks better in beige definitely, get rid of the old one

I love yiu so much

🫖🍷 I love your videos so much! They are so peaceful and I always get inspired to take care of my home. 🤎

What country are living in?! My guess is New Zealand. So beautiful to live by the river.

Thank you, very helpful video when thinking of moving from a house with garden to an apartment.

Your pantry looks lovely ❣️

Hola 👋, me ha gustado mucho, gracias por compartir 🍃🍂

Welcome home Lilibet. Good to hear that you had a nice time in Sydney at your conference and revisiting old haunts, and that your capsule wardrobe worked so well. Ludwig and all your plants are looking so happy. Your sister really has the knack with them, as do you. I am impressed that you have managed to clean, declutter and organise your pantry after coming back from your trip with low energy. Doesn't it feel good to get things back in order! I hope it stays organised for a while for you. You really do have a lovely home, enjoy.

Sorry to hear you have CF Lillibet, it really plays havoc with the lives of sufferers. Seeing the views of Parramatta was eye opening, my parents used to live near there, I grew up in country NSW and spent a lot of time in Sydney. Re your little apartment is seems to me that the more space we are given the more we try to cram in, you are doing very well. It would probably do all of us good to have to downsize at some point. Stay well.

Love your home. I have been to Sydney 2 times. I have relatives there. I love Australia ❤ I am from USA

Welcome back to Melbourne, Lilibet!!!! Oh my goodness, it's been years since I've visited Sydney! I am so glad you have achieved a sense of closure with this recent trip. It's so important for your health and wellbeing to look forward with positivity and happiness 💝 I am stopping this wonderful video part way because I have a friend visiting and I am determined to do a full-on tidy 😅 I must say, I am enjoying the video so far. I love the relaxed, sorting out the laundry, checking on the plants, review of the travel wardrobe focus! I'll watch the rest this afternoon! It will be my treat because I am back at work tomorrow ☺️

One thing I do is I get the bottom of an oblong tupperware, yes I'm born before 90 lol, and I use it to house my soy sauce oil vinegars honey anything liquid that drips a little even though I try to be careful, in the drawer or cupboard. It keeps them contained and it's easy to just pull out the whole container to clean

Love what you’ve done with your home. It’s just lovely.😊❤

I’m delighted that Ludwig is not only ok but thriving. You’ve turned your apartment into a sanctuary of peace and cosiness.

Love your home.

I'm listening to this while I drive my cat to her eye doctor. Normally, my cats meow loudly in the car, but not this time, she is so quiet that I pulled over to make sure she's okay. She seems to like your voice. She knows a cat lover!😊

If it were me, only my opinion, I would put something like light bulbs or things I might need like once a year maybe.

Saludos desde Barcelona! Mucha fuerza❤

So interesting to hear about your thoughts now that you've been there for awhile. We finally get to move into our new apartment in 1.5 weeks (after buying off the plan 3.5 years ago).

You look like Demi Moore.

Hi , great video thanks. This is the couch I’ve been looking for. Can you send be more details , store, style , fabric , price ( if you don’t mind ) . PM if you prefer Thanks , Liz Liz

55! That’s not possible!,

Hi Lillibet I live in Melbourne too, looks nice where you live. Would you mind sharing where you got the white trolley/cabinet you have in your bathroom. Enjoy your trip, new subbie nere.

When you look up into the sky to see the sun, is it to the north of you or to the south? I live in America (northern hemisphere) and its to my south.

Just found you! Enjoyed the video.! I subscribed!

Hi Lilibet! Really enjoyed this video as I found similar things with downsizing from a big house to a small apartment. I do miss the outside space of the house, but certainly don't miss mowing! I'm still struggling with lack of room to store things, so I too am going further with decluttering. Also the messes are more prominent and sometimes I feel like all I do is clean! Have fun in Sydney and take care of yourself. Travel can be hard on the body. ❤

50????? Not 30 ?????

❤Beautiful finished result. VERY helpful to watch your process. Elegant capsule. I love capsules. I’ve done the project 333 challenge every season for about 4 years now gradually paring down, layer by layer- I went from over 250 items to just under 50 now not counting overcoats, underwear or accessories but those got pared down too. Every fall & spring I struggle because we swing wildly from hot and cold in those seasons and I’ve been thinking about a year round capsule with a cold side and a hot side. Everything accessible because of the in between seasonal fluctuations. I love the seasonal switch though because it helps me review what I wore a lot, letting go of the stuff I passed over and observing any gaps.

Loved the travel capsule and how you modelled the outfits- thinking them through. I somehow missed your year round capsule plan, watching that next. I live in (&love) my apartment condo here in BC Canada and you shared the pros and cons so well. I have some autoimmune issues including CFS/ME or (since 1999) so I appreciate your perspective on living with CFS/ME. I subscribed in the last couple of weeks.

LOVE the outfits! ❤

I love your outfit choices. Good video. Peace 🕊️

Hate apartment living, because of a lot of things you mentioned. My husband and I have a rental townhome currently, but would love a house in the country, away from neighbors,we are tired of the neighbor issues. Love that you share you apartment with us, despite the issues it’s a cute place.

Oh yes! It's been super windy in Melbourne lately!!! I love your outfits ❤ They really suit you! I love the video too!
