“Dress for the job you want, not the job you have”. That’s so true! I’ve suggested that many times to younger people who want to get ahead. Great video Erin!

Hey beautiful! I was wondering if you would make a video dedicated to thrifting/gently used clothing with links to find high quality and vintage items. Even better, links that us Canadian ladies can access. Thanks!

Great idea, Lynn! xo

I totally agree about the funeral outfits. The last couple years so many loved ones have passed and I invested in a couple funeral dresses and a black top/blazer. Best standby fashion outfit to have in a pinch

Love you Erin💖 I LOVE DRYELL!!!! Been using it literally for nearly 20 years & it has kept me from the dry cleaner. If you have a steam cycle on your dryer, you can run it through that too. My tips for Dryell: *DON’T overload the bag and remove the bag & hang up the items IMMEDIATELY after the cycle! You’ll actually create wrinkles if you leave it in the dryer. *If it’s a heavy item like a blazer, only put maybe a pair of pants or a skirt in with it. *Because you’re only doing a 20min cycle, don’t worry about dryer heat on the items. I regularly use it for wool, cashmere, silk, linen, etc. Never had shrinkage! *You will still need an iron & a steamer, but Dryell will freshen and clean your pieces. *Spray extra sensitive “areas” that may hold odor first with a combination of febreeze mixed with lavender, it will boost in the dryell bag. *You should travel with a dryell bag and a few sheets, along with a portable steamer. Especially if you’re staying in someone’s home or an airbnb.

[@BusbeeStyle]

This is great! Thank you for all of these tips, Theresa!

“Bust out of the box!” 😂 I would love a part 2. 💛 You hit on one of my pet peeves, jewelry sets that match. Like someone wearing their birthstone in matching starburst earrings, a small starburst pendant necklace and starburst ring they often have on sale at your local big box store. Really, matchy-matchy anything (although I am matching my emojis). Get out of the everything must match box! And, I agree, you don’t always have to wear earrings with a necklace, especially if it’s a statement necklace or earrings.🥰

[@BusbeeStyle]

Stay tuned, Gretchen! I think matchy matchy jewelry was so popular for so long. So many people still have these sets, but they forget that they can break them up. xo

[@ghc26]

[@alanademers6579]

YES!!! Dry Cleaners throw everything in big drums with fixed heat and shrinkage occurs ; they rarely separate fabric out by fiber for example, such as all wool vs. a blend. Found silk blouses ruined with faded colors. Even paying extra for special care is dicey. If I can't hand wash, air dry, or use a home DC kit ,I dont buy. The dry cleaner at home kits work okay, BTW. If the item is not dirty per se but, has a stale smell from ,say, a restaurant , I leave in the dryer for a couple of days. The outside air that comes in from the vent refreshes the fabric- no heat necessary.

My hair is gray now and I'm struggling a bit because I am top heavy so I usually wear darker colours on top, but I feel like it's washing me out. How to use colour when your skin and hair colour fades would be helpful. This was a great video. loved the rapid fire responses.

My style has definitely evolved over the decades. I just turned 60 - HA! Don’t feel it or look it and feel style confident more than ever! Still love my skinny jeans with mid to high waist. Love clothing that fits my petite frame and I gravitate towards a lot of dresses in fitted or flowy shapes. Prefer knee length and longer. Know my best colors. And I have my fave jewelry pieces always ready to wear. Being in hot Florida my style is more airy and the materials are natural fibers or blends thereof. Poly makes me sweat! Cute sandals are a must have. My motto is let myself try new things, but always be honest with myself on cut, fit and color. 🥰👍❤️

And it’s so true that once you wear the best colors for you, you will notice you get complimented!

[@kathygann7632]

I had my Color Me Beautiful colors done about 40 years ago. Best investment ever! At first I just changed the color of my makeup and got TONS of comments, even from men. Everyone knew I looked different- younger? better? haircut? They just couldn’t figure out what I’d done. I used to love summer colors, and switched to winter colors. Huge improvement. Really unbelievable. I once tried on a light gray blouse just because it matched the color on my chart. I hated gray. Yuck! Tried it on and bought the blouse, and quit hating gray. I read the Color Me.. book and couldn’t figure it out on my own.

[@carolynsanner8253]

You are so right about being true to yourself when it comes to your style. For the past couple of years, I see "everyone" wearing the Blundstone boots, and they look great on so many people, but every time I would go to the store and look at them, I just couldn't see myself in them, and to be honest, I really didn't like them that much. I remember looking one day (trying to like them!), and the salesgirl said, "Maybe they're just not for you," and she was absolutely right. I didn't look at them anymore after that! I just knew they weren't "me."

Dryel sheets are great as a refresh to your dry clean only garments. Especially for body odor under the arm areas. It won’t “clean” the garment but use it more of a refresh between hand washing.

A steamer is a great way to freshen blazers between cleanings. People tend to overclean garments when they just need airing out or steaming after wear. I have a metallic bomber jacket with silk lining that I’ve never had cleaned. It’s usually only worn in the evening for a few hours so giving it the occasional steaming is sufficient.

I worked at a bank for 21 years and wore suits and dresses everyday. I used Dryel religiously. It really works. My only caution is to follow the instructions they have on removing/treating stains with their product so you don't ruin your favorite piece! Thanks Erin, love your channel❣️

[@daneeinglis1894]

I used to use Dryel as well except when something really expensive was really stained and needed professional treatment. My feeling on the product was it was a "freshioner" more than in depth cleaning. Now I don't own a dryer so I gentle wash dry clean only clothes along with regular clothes, then line dry or dry flat and I've never had a problem.

Great advice to think back to what items people compliment you on and what your gut tells you.

I don't feel dry cleaning don't really make your clothes clean and they often get this greyish tone to the colors after a while, so I wash most of my clothing even if it says dry cleaning on the label. Sometimes items are marked with incomprehensible recommendations. Always look at the garment description and decide from there. With the great washing machines we have today most clothing comes out nicely after wash. I even wash my Moncler down jacket (requires many tennis balls in the drier to get it back to fluffy), but it works fine. I use the wool settings.

I've used the at-home dry cleaning, and I'm very happy with it! For stuff that needs just a general refreshing or for a piece with a couple of small or an easy stain, it's perfect. And the price is easy. The only thing we still send to a dry cleaner is my husband's suits.

All I end up wearing is my Zumba clothes! I go almost every place with my shorts and Zumba tank tops. I have tons of clothing. I love watching your videos and giving me inspiration to wear my regular nice clothes.

So as our style changes what’s a good strategy for keeping your wardrobe to a minimum as you evolve?

[@BusbeeStyle]

As you bring in new pieces, consider getting rid of some of the items you no longer wear. (one in-one out). xo

I would like to see a review on which stores you shop at. Example; a place for dressy clothes and a place for modern causal clothes.

[@BusbeeStyle]

I primarily shop from the same handful of stores...Nordstrom, Saks, and Bloomingdales are always go tos. I also love Shopbop, Revolve, Express, Evereve, and Intermix just to name a few. xo

I did the season coloring thing. I still just pick what looks good that I like. Dryel works great to clean Dry Clean Only. I totally relied on it when working for Corporate America to keep my business suits clean.

Hi beautiful girl....loved this video. I have used Dryel for years and years. It won’t clean a bad stain, but I do it to refresh coats, dresses etc that say dry clean, I had a beautiful linen dress that looked like a rag when it came back from the cleaners. I also think it is not safe..there is a chemical smell to dry cleaned clothes. So, yes to Dryel. I love you are incorporating bees into your style with that beautiful necklace. Xoxo 😘

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you, Rita! A refresh is exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks for sharing your experience...I'm looking forward to trying it! xo

Woolite also has an at-home dry clean product that is great! I've used both for decades!

[@BusbeeStyle]

Good to know! Thanks for sharing! xo

[@andreaowens9267]

Thank you for so much great information! Yes, a part 2 please. What shoes are staples to have and never go out of style? Thanks

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you, Andrea! It depends on your needs. For me, I'd say a pair of classic heels in black and skin tone, a pair of casual sneakers, dress booties and casual booties. In the spring and summer, I like to add in a few pairs of fun sandals. xo

[@karireyes6710]

I always appreciate your advice! I will keep these in mind when saving for clothes.

[@BusbeeStyle]

Thank you, Kari! xo

[@donnamedica9014]

I will spot clean and then use Dryel to freshen clothing, also if the fabric allows I will sometimes steam items. I don’t think the in dryer treatments really “clean” anything...just my opinion, great content Erin, thank you !❤️

[@BusbeeStyle]

I agree, Donna! I was thinking that they would be more of a refresh than a real cleaning. I appreciate you sharing your experience with me! xo

[@teresajazey524]

The dryel sheets work really well. Definitely worth using

[@BusbeeStyle]
