11. Saying GOODBYE to my STYLE (because I found something better).

[@kyre6722]

I've been watching you for so many years....and I have to say, you've never looked more beautiful than you do in this video. So lovely.

[@patriciamycyk]

Wow, thank you! That’s very nice of you to say. 🩷🩷

[@leanne6035]

I can't say I like glitter or your new style but I still think you are awesome because you have the guts to be yourself 🎉

[@NoDecaf7]

Wow I love seeing the contrast between your earth-neutral and current styles! Thank you for this video, I know a lot of folks have been curious about your recent style evolution ❤❤

[@pattysperfectday5397]

You are so right that what looks good in a video (or while you are standing in front of a mirror) sometimes just doesn’t work when you are wearing it in real life. Also I just wanted to tell you I used to have a different wardrobe for each season. I felt overwhelmed and frustrated each season when I changed things over. After watching your videos I have been slowly curating my wardrobe. I have it down to two now- spring/summer and fall/winter. I just changed it to the fall/winter one and it was so easy. I am still working on slowly curating it more, but you have really helped me understand what I am aiming for and I love have a closet of clothes that I actually wear. Thanks for that.

[@patriciamycyk]

I’m so happy to hear that! Do you think the wardrobe frustration led to other areas of frustration in your life? I think of my wardrobe as a physical manifestation of where I am in many areas of life. 🤔

[@pattysperfectday5397]

@@patriciamycyk what an amazing question. It’s easy to say my frustration came from having too many clothes and I have gotten rid of a lot, but I got rid of the clothes I got rid of for a reason. You’ve got me thinking! From a practical perspective, I am dealing with foot, knee and hip issues. I have had to change some of my wardrobe starting with the shoes. From an aesthetic perspective, I know I don’t look great in grey, black, or white and my husband let me know shortly after we started dating that he didn’t like brown so I had a lot of navy. One day I looked in his closet and saw everything was a shade of blue and realized he liked what looked good on him but I was wearing what looked good on him and not on me. Now I have a wardrobe in shades of reds and browns that I love and get tons of compliments on. In the last few years, I have been focusing on getting to know what matters to me, trusting myself, and realizing that I know a lot and I’ve put too much weight on what others think. Much to my surprise the more I have leaned into being true to myself, the more people like me, the more I like myself and the nicer I dress on a daily basis.

@@pattysperfectday5397 I love introspection of this kind! 💜

[@MDL523]

Your style rocks! I love that you have very few buttons in your life, the cut of every item is great, obviously every purchase is carefully considered.

[@patriciamycyk]

Thank you! The less detail, the better for me. 💜💜

[@60greyhairandsparkles21]

Hi Patricia, yay thanks for including my question in your video, that was a nice surprise this morning ❤ I am obsessed with lilac for spring summer now ha ha! Thanks for the peaceful, beautiful, thought provoking videos 🌻

I've been watching your videos for years nor and you help me defining what I like... I did also realize adding black items back into my wardrobe made my life easier... Sometimes we also have to let go of ideas, thanks for being a source of inspiration

[@patriciamycyk]

Yes, I agree. Sometimes, also, things work for a while, in particular seasons of life, and then they just don't anymore. 💜

[@moniquemoreno8742]

I’ve lived my whole life in sunny Far North Queensland, and never thought to use my basket bag in winter! I totally agree that as we age our style changes and it’s ok to not like certain things any more. I now only purchase something if it suits my current lifestyle. Thanks for the content ☺️

[@patriciamycyk]

I guess it becomes easier to choose a uniform with enough life experience too! 🩷🩷🩷

[@carolynm.8868]

I have enjoyed watching your style evolution and have loved all of them. Your videos… true performance art. So witty, intelligent and humorous. Thank you for sharing, Patricia.

[@patriciamycyk]

You’re too kind, Carolyn. Thank you for watching! 💜

[@psmareseis528]

Great video Patricia. ❤ Could you do one about your handbag journey as well, please? How you evolved from 1 minimalist bag to couple of more to compliment your new style. And what thought process was behind the purchase? Many thanks.

[@patriciamycyk]

[@Sherissejourneytoself]

I honestly love your new style. I’ve been following you for so many years already and before you seemed to put yourself in a box with a small wardrobe and now you look so confident, you seem more tapped into yourself and your feminine energy. Your current style looks like Patricia.

[@patriciamycyk]

Thank you for watching and taking a moment to comment! 🥰

[@rosered3919]

I have been tuning in to you for years. I'm watching now with Bill ( my Gary). Living in Australia has huge impact in our makeup and style. I am in FNQ and live with extreme heat and humidity. We do not have Winter. " Goddess" style is all that works in wet tropics 😄. Makeup? 🫠🤣 I like how you mirrored the sounds of the ocean in your asmr, I got that 😉🐚🪸 you are looking great. Xox

[@patriciamycyk]

Yes, absolutely, I understand. I presume the summer sweating season has impacted how I feel about makeup too! 😄

[@nancyferrier8609]

Really enjoying your new videos. I use Olay Regenerist and I'll give you a preview of things to come. I'm 77 and recently went to party and a number of women commented on how beautiful my skin is. Of course I have a bit of a summer tan so that helped. If I go out I use slightly tinted Olay moisturizer. Elf cream blush, a tiny bit of brown eyeliner brow pencil and black/brown mascara. Never changes from day to day. As usual love your nature cinematography.

[@patriciamycyk]

Ooh good to know! Once I find a good product, I stick with it forever. I’ve tried so many different foundations over the years and I always go back the Clinique powder that I first tried at least 20 years ago! 😄

[@roseloren3555]

Metalics, yes! You totally got me into metallics and it's honestly been the missing piece(s) to all of my best outfits. Perfect for my style. 🙏 ❤

[@patriciamycyk]

Aww I’m happy to hear that! Metallics are the neglected neutral 💜

[@ingrid9635]

Your video is just what I needed today ❤ love love your style evolution, always

[@ThirdEyeAwake]

I am also a person that does not look good in a narrow pant style and I am so happy that wide legs are back

[@dianak174]

I love your new style and I enjoy your style talks but something that also could be interesting and what I would love to see from you are vlog style videos of your daily life, you live in such beautiful place that is Perth Australia and for some of us that is extremely interesting. Even shots of you going to your favourite cafe in Perth would be entertaining to me 😊

[@alexgrey6508]

Crying because you didn’t add salt to the date! Otherwise, 10/10 😆

[@lefxxwill7740]

Wooow the wide black pants with the side slits blew me away! Where are they from?

[@Khadeejahraja]

Absolutely love your style! Much love from Saudi Arabia.

I am on low fat plant based diet and cannot achieve to have flat belly 😢how did you succeed? Why mine is so stubborn?

[@HerWanderlust]

For some of us a flat belly is not healthy/natural. I was very skinny and had dysmenorrhea. Once I started nourishing myself deeply (whole foods, well raised eggs, meats and dairy, fermented foods, variety in our daily diet etc) I gained weight…but my cycle returned. Health is complex and looks different for each persons body

[@HerWanderlust]

Fats are necessary for every single function of our bodies-and is good for us (from healthy sources). Plant based fats are imo not ideal. Heritage fats like butter, lard, ghee are best (this is my opinion 💜). Wise traditions podcast has great info on a healthy diet

[@JJ-wn6kk]

@@HerWanderlust thank you for your comment but I do not live based on someone opinion. I live based on science. Science says whole food plant based diet is the healthiest and prevents from cardiovascular diseases and all other.

[@noraquezada62]

You look amazing 🤩

[@V01D.mp3]

I gotta admit it does surprise me that you're not using SPF 50+ for a daily facial sunscreen, especially considering that you're living in Australia where high UV protection is arguably even more crucial than in other areas of the world. If it's a texture issue, which I can absolutely emphasize with, maybe you'd like to try some japanese or korean sunscreens. They are very lightweight, like a daily lotion. :) I enjoyed Bioré and COSRX very much so far.

[@isobelsmith6999]

@V01D.mp3 SPF50 offers only marginally better protection from UV radiation than SPF30, filtering out 98 per cent of UV radiation compared to 96.7 per cent!

[@HerWanderlust]

Some of us believe the benefits of letting the sun touch your skin (and also penetrate through to your organs etc!) are more important than attempting to remain unaffected by time 😅

[@hibazafran1765]

Gorgeous footage. I rewatched the closing scenes twice. And. Thank you! I found your reflections on pants interesting: finding the right form for practical and style and shoes. It’s not easy. I’m totally a widepants person. Except. Snow slush rain. Working through and letting go of both fantasy and the midrange compromise was well illustrated. Thank you.

[@patriciamycyk]

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for asking the question! 💜
