5 THINGS I REGRETTED BUYING

[@mariecurie7491]

At age 70, I have become ruthless. If it doesn't make me happy, it's got to go! No time to waste on feeling uncomfortable

[@silvanapatrick_stylist]

I totally agree! That’s the way it should be

[@saramaloney6082]

I appreciate your positivity regarding your regrets! I tend to focus on the regret, and not learn from it. Biggest lesson learned for me is the dupe rarely works as well. Thank you for your honesty and being so real!

[@silvanapatrick_stylist]

We’ve all been there! We just need to remind ourselves that we all make mistakes and learn to not beat ourselves up so much x

[@seeseesstopmotionstudio120]

The black blazer is so gorgeous on you! So Silvana!!! I hope you find occasions to wear it, I think it looks stunning on you!❤

[@christinekellyrose9435]

Both blazers looked great on you....but not with those wide leg jeans. My regrets are buying designer clothing without looking at the fabric label. Even designers use synthetics. Luckily, I haven't made that mistake in a few years. Excellent video 😊

[@silvanapatrick_stylist]

Hi Christine, thank you. Maybe it wasn't the best item to pair them with, I just wanted to make things uniform for simplicity sake. Thanks for stopping by x

[@tinaallen8846]

Silvana you are speaking to me right now; I just got rid of some pieces that didn't speak to me anymore. On another note, I wish those blazers were a size 12 I would buy them today. LOL...thanks as always for making us think how is our closet working for US!!

[@annazygo5162]

Silvana, you look absolutely stunning in that black blazer! Don't give it away! I love the sophisticated, non-obvious look with the wide jeans you pulled off, accentuating only your slim waist. No jewellery, just pure architectural structure. I have never put any comment under your videos, but in this case I feel I have to :) Besides, you have really inspired me to introduce some new elements to my wardrobe. I also had made a lot of mistakes in the past, so I bought that new things second-hand, just in case. But I love them! Thank you so much for what you do!

[@silvanapatrick_stylist]

Aw thank you, Anna! It's funny that in the video I didn't find it looked as bad :)

[@hopeperlman8260]

@@silvanapatrick_stylist I also thought it looks good!

[@mareanthomas2595]

You look lovely in that dress! It's such a beautiful dress.

[@silvanapatrick_stylist]

Aw thank you it’s lovely indeed x

[@joycemorrow5840]

You touched on everything we women has gone through. I’m definitely guilty of not returning when purchased online and missed the window to return. I now read the return policy especially the cost besides time to do so.

[@silvanapatrick_stylist]

Hi Joyce, exactly, everyone is on the same boat here, it's too much propaganda and as human beings, sometimes we have our guards down, that's why it's important to share.

[@kittykittoon]

Good lessons youve passed on. I think I'd keep that dress to wear belted - optional - but open over a tank & pants.

[@silvanapatrick_stylist]

There are definitely ways around it but sometimes I just don’t wanna go through the trouble. Thanks for the suggestions x

[@tplayspiano]

I enjoyed this video and it’s nice to know that you are human along with the rest of us and occasionally make fashion mistakes. 😂 my worst one is buying a jacket in an unflattering cut because I liked the print or the fabric.

[@silvanapatrick_stylist]

Haha we're all guilty of charge at one level or another right? So glad you enjoyed it. I think it's super important to share so some may benefit from our mistakes :)

[@bellaheblan8479]

Great video! Thank you for discussing a familiar topic! Buying clothing is complicated. I have learned many lessons myself! Some expensive, some not as much. It’s the mistakes in my closet that help me refine my style, since I can pinpoint why certain items don’t work for me. When a garment hits all the marks, it’s such a good feeling! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@silvanapatrick_stylist]

Hi Bella, yes it can be complicated but I guess the core message here is to pay attention to patterns and avoid making the same mistakes twice. After I bought that dress I'm now so much more aware of how it looks on the model even though they are normally very slim and tall, it still gives you an idea of how it's going to fit on you. it's all about self awareness at the end, isn't it? xx

[@bellaheblan8479]

@@silvanapatrick_stylist Yes! I agree! Those detailed lessons help me curate and discern future choices, for sure! Thanks for sharing your fashion wisdom! 👍🏼

[@sandramaki7819]

Such a great video! I like the way you analyzed these items. The orange print dress is gorgeous! A good tailor can certainly fix it. In terms of regrets, I bought an expensive purse on line that I love but I find it a bit too small to be practical…😢Not sure if I will keep long term but because it was expensive, I am trying to use it. As someone else wrote, best to buy things in person. Thanks again for your always informative videos. ❤❤❤

[@silvanapatrick_stylist]

@@sandramaki7819 Hi Sandra, yes buying online can be very deceiving that’s why it’s so important to be attentive to the return police. Hope you find ways to wear your little bag, I don’t carry a wallet when I’m wearing a small bag x

[@fleurbeckwith9280]

Maybe we need to shop in person not online to not make these mistakes

[@jeanettekays1954]

I purchad a Hermes scarf on line. The colour turned out not to be as flattering as i hoped. I tried to resell it without success. Expensive regret.

[@silvanapatrick_stylist]

Oh no that must have been upsetting! Continue trying to sell it. I’m sure you’ll be able to. Good luck x

[@lisaculver1829]

The dress is you!

[@latinaalma1947]

I would never buy shoes on line I am just too hard to fit.

[@cristinacarrasco5457]

❤❤

0:20 0:20 0:22 😅😅

[@reneemarais431]

Perhaps just sew press studs in the neckline of the dress

[@silvanapatrick_stylist]

That’s s great tip thanks x

[@debmorehead1118]

Let the dress go , sell it . Too bold of print .
