Hello Catherine, it warms my heart to read that my content helps you in some way. Thats exactly my mission, because we can never exhaust the possibilities of our wardrobes😊🫶

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

Taking care of your clothes is so important. As for ironing, I wouldn't want to do it for a living but I enjoy ironing my clothing. Since I don't put a lot of my garments into the dryer I need to iron them to make sure they look polished. I also use a clothing shaver to get the pills off of my sweaters. Your videos are so helpful and informative. I love your black handbag. Omg it's gorgeous!

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Thank you so much for your input. I guess we all have things we like and dislike about the maintenance, but if we want our clothes to look presentable that’s the only way right 😊 ooooh the black handbag. I love it too. It’s still my favourite and such a high quality craftsmanship.

[@patmartin9727]

Recently found your channel and was impressed so I have been busy binge watching your back catalogue. I look forward to seeing your outfits for the coming autumn and winter.

[@bette-annlaberge4888]

Great advice...smile! Love your ideas. Thanks for your inspiration.

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Diana and thank you so much for your comment. Yess it doesn’t cost anything and makes everything better (even our outfit😊).

[@lotushouse5598]

Hi Mariola, I just discovered your channel, and have been watching your videos on repeat. You have great style and I have learned a lot.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I so agree about clothes maintenance, especially ironing. I used to think I hated ironing, then I realized that what I hated about it was that I always got really overheated doing it in my warm laundry area, that has all the appliances with their pilot lights, etc., in it. Adding a big fan really helped that problem and now I find ironing rather relaxing. I just leave everything in the laundry area that needs maintenance, from shoes to clean, to alterations to do, to ironing, until I have time to do it and never put anything back in my closet unless it’s 100% ready to wear. I leave my ironing board set up, my full-size steamer out, and have all my maintenance items, like shoe care things, clothesline and hangers, drying racks, etc. right there. (I made this “laundry room” by sectioning off the area of my garage that has the laundry machines and adding a few old cabinets, that way my clothes aren’t exposed to the dirt in the rest of the garage, which opens to dirt, not paving).

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Kimberly. Thats so true! The ironing (or maintenance in general) can be so much more fun when we get the right tools, do it at the right time or place in our houses. After all if we have beautiful and great quality clothes, we want to look after them so they stay with us longer🥰

[@fridakwee5374]

You’re the best!! Love your simple style but classy

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Catherine! thank you so so much for your kind words. It really means a lot😊 Yes, I only touched on each category but an extended video dedicated to the formulas and mixing styles is something I would be happy to do👍😊

[@ferrisd7566]

Love your videos, you're the best! I have the gold Infinity watch with white face, and four straps to change. I've had it a year now and I love it.

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Ferris and thank you so much for your kind comment. Wooow 4 straps, that’s great! And that’s why I love their watches, because you can get completely different vibe by just changing the strap😊

[@nvp1137]

great tips! always look forward to your videos. Would you mind telling us what brand your chunky gold necklace is?

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello NVP11 and thank you for your sweet comment. The chunky necklace is not gonna be easy to find, because I got it in Poland in a local jewellery shop. I just saw a similar style necklace at Mango the other day. Maybe give it a try😊

[@stevecross4561]

Once again Mariola you never fail to deliver! Simple honest delivery with realistic approach to style .Your channel is my go to which I often refer to for inspiration .Thanks again and looking forward to the next one !

Great video! Xs. You please send a link or info to the nice black belt you used over the jumper and coat?

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Evelyn, thank you so much for your comment and support. The belt is from Mint Velvet and here is the link www.mintvelvet.co.uk/products/black-wide-leather-belt 🫶

[@strewth39]

I would love to know the brand of the handbag, and the camel coat and jumper that you are wearing with it, as well as the woolen scarf/shawl - I love them and would love to know where I can get the same or similiar?

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

Wondering about your taupe coat at around 8:40 in the accessories/good handbag section. I love the color, the drape, the sleeves. 😍

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Dear. Thank you for your comment. This coat is from &other stories last year or 2 years ago. I couldn't find it on their website but maybe try second hand market. It’s 100% wool but not very thick and structured. I hope it helps😊

[@MidModMeridianASMR]

@@SlowDownInStyle Thank you so much!! I appreciate your response and will definitely a look out. I love your videos!! 💚💚

[@SlowDownInStyle]

That’s so sweet. Thank youuu🥰

[@barbarahildenbrandt6218]

Where is this Trenchcoat from!? 🥰🥰

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Barbara, the trench coat is an old from Uniqlo - collaboration with JW Anderson. You can still find them second hand😊👍

[@ortalgretchin4352]

Love your videos! where are the black loafers from (17:27)? 🌷

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Ortal, thank you very much for your kind words. Im afraid these shoes are only available in Poland. The shop is called Rylko and they dont ship internationally. I will try to find something similar in UK or USA.

[@ortalgretchin4352]

@@SlowDownInStyle thank you. Your style is very inspiring ✨

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

What are the white sneakers/trainers you're wearing (11:25) in this video? They look perfect with the more tailored pieces you wear.

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Kimberly, thank you so much for your comment. I agree, these sneakers look cool with tailored pants. It’s some old school New Balance 500 in white that I bought in Turkey about 2 years ago. I cant find the exact model anywhere. But you can try with the number😊

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

My beauty routine is very basic: good, simple haircut, clean hair, body and teeth and bare, shortish, well-manicured nails (clean, the same length and shape, smooth). On a daily basis I only wear a moisturizer/sunscreen and lip balm. Makeup is for special occasions nowadays; I had to wear makeup every day during my corporate career to achieve the expected polished look, but I’m retired now. I always preferred a very natural look anyway with “invisible makeup” and have no talent for hair styling, so I just go with my natural texture. I get more fun from styling my outfits.

[@SlowDownInStyle]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I guess we learn with age that natural beauty and minimal but thorough skin care is the best. I care so much more about my skin than make up nowadays🥰

[@susanfendt1813]

What brand of tennis shoes are in this video?

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Oh dear! This is gonna be disappointing, the shoes are from a Polish brand Rylko, which doesn’t really ship to other countries. But if you ever get a chance to buy them, I highly recommend, because they are so comfortable☺️

[@lyzavalenzo1376]

Where can I get the low waist belt you styled?

[@joce8k8]

I would like to know as well. 🙏

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello and thank you for your comments😊 this belt can be actually worn in your waist and lower on your hips. It’s from mint velvet, but I believe they can be found on different platforms. Link for Mint Velvet here www.mintvelvet.co.uk/products/black-wide-leather-belt 😘🫶

[@rsnj4501]

♥️

[@AAA-ys9jv]

Clean shoes is a very polish thing, most parents will teach you this from youth 😄

[@SlowDownInStyle]

haha😂 it is very Polish, isn’t it! Especially when we used to go to church on a Sunday morning, had to be presentable!

[@kathyesargent9088]

Use Sally Hansens nail polish it hardens and improve your nails❤️❤️

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Thank you for the tip. I really need to take care of my lovely brittle nails😁🫶

[@francoisesmet4793]

I'm sorry 😌...not agree! If you are a "cold" person, silver. A warm person will wear "gold"...Not both of them...Have a nice week-end

[@SlowDownInStyle]

Hello Francoise and thank you for your comment. I think mixing metals is a very personal thing. You either like it or not. Im actually a cool skin tone and I wear both gold or silver. I don’t normally mix them but I always have my gold wedding and engagement ring on, even when I wear silver😊

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

I'm cool toned and wear mostly silver jewelry but I also wear gold jewelry. I'm not liming myself to only one. Life's short wear what makes you happy.
