7 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE YOU MAKE YOUR NEXT PURCHASE

[@MichelleODonnell-b9g]

The last tip is good as are the others but making sure your wardrobe is set up for your purchase is very necessary, I agree there

[@JoR00ke]

Spot on! It took me a while but the dressing for your actual lifestyle is the one I now focus on the most, I long for certain styles but when I think about it I wouldn’t wear them in my day to day life. The tip that’s missing is ‘does it suit & flatter my shape’, that’s a really important one x

[@dianecyment1715]

These are great tips. I just need to follow the "Do I have something similar?" and "Does it fit my lifestyle?" When I find something that I absolutely love (style and fit - sweaters and/or shoes for instance) I buy more than one in a different color. I am retired and I still desire to wear classic and tailored clothing. I don't want to look frumpy.

[@kenbrb6261]

can you do a video about reworking wardrobes to fit lifestyle changes (i.e., how to wear career/office clothes in different ways when you switched to work from home - you don't want to not ever wear all your blazers, blouses, etc. but you need to find ways to wear them more casually for when you go to lunch/dinner for instance versus to an office)

[@giuseppinasanger6410]

Thank you for this. I have been overly “influenced” and now have a bulging closet and am in debt. Really trying to turn things around and feel like this is the healthiest content ever.

I’m going to print these 7 great tips and keep it in my purse to stay focused on my next shopping trip. Great content🥂. What I struggle with is packing light for a 1 week or 3 weeks business and holiday trips without giving the impression that I am wearing the same outfits. Can’t wait to see your next videos!

[@kristineinwondrland]

Loved these tips! I can vouch for the color one; knowing what colors are flattering on me has helped me make smarter purchases!

[@gingerhalo123]

Such good tips ❤ I need to take last one into account more often. I only started thinking and dressing smartly about clothes a few years ago. So I really don’t have a lot of pieces that would build out a wardrobe. Right now I need black boots. For the longest time it was finding a pair of comfy black heels. I feel like the list doesn’t end!

[@Mors-j6s]

I always look forward to your videos, never dissappoints!

[@lightdancervaughn1447]

Adore this video, Lydia! You have the best curated wardrobe, and are an inspiration to all of us. ❤️🎶🐾

[@janerothrock7416]

This is more useful to me, more than you know. It calms me down a bit when I get these lessons. (especially getting closer to the holidays.). Thanks so much

[@GwenMotoGirl]

I love this discussion format. Thank you for these helpful tips. I take screenshots of your outfits that I love and want to replicate from your videos. I have many. ❤

[@marinaassi5552]

Definitely useful,I had to break my head many times before figuring out what was wrong with the stuff I was bying and not wearing

[@deborahmorris9963]

What great advice.I love the ballon pants when you style them but on me, it looks like I'm auditioning for the role of an Oompa Loompa. Such a good point about the importance of learning what looks good on you. I'm going to write these questions down and reflect on them not only about fashion but also about decor for my home so I can make more thoughtful decisions.

[@МарияАвито]

Really useful video.

[@teribeers5447]

Great tips! One thing i have learned is to buy quality leather handbags. The cheaper ones don’t last and look dated within a year or 2. Keeping the leather ones for 10 years plus

[@RikkeGade]

love these tips Lydia! A few days ago I returned a beautiful pair of leather trousers because I found that what I miss the most in my wardrobe are some ankle boots and some knee high boots and not another pair of trousers. However I would love to add a pair of leather trousers to my capsule wardrobe later.

[@juliyastewart6714]

Thank you so much, Lydia, yet another useful video!

[@sylviacollins9896]

Hi Lydia, Just ran a bath and hoped you would have a new video out, and you did! So calming, enlightening, and practical. I do admit that I have a problem with denim. Always looking for the perfect jeans, but I just seem to have a growing collection and am never completely happy with the fit or the composition. Maybe a video on jeans, although I have watched so many, would be helpful. 😅 Thanks always Lydia.

[@elviaalexisaviles3179]

❤❤❤Whenever, I am out and about shopping for clothing, these are great tips to keep in mind, thanks Lydia 😊

[@melissac.5948]

As usual, these tips are all very useful! Love that painting in your background. That was a great choice. 😊

[@williamkazak469]

Excellent discussion. Trying a color that you are not really sure of can be accomplished by searching the thrift stores. You might find something inexpensive. Also, you may want to suggest where we can unload items that we are not really wearing. Thank you for this video.

[@fleurcraven9862]

Fab tips Lydia❤ written up in my notes ❤ x

[@cri300]

Yes! Wonderful reminders. I started following these tips after having my babies. I was forced to take a gooooood look at my wardrobe and prioritize practicality and saving money 😬😬. Question: whose painting is that? It is beautiful!

[@lorraineguidetti7602]

Thankyou Lydia for this great video.And as always looking lovely and very chic.

[@JanetChristophersen]

My first European trip was an eyeorner refashion. I was acutely aware in Sydney of the very latest and followed international magazines closely. Then say in Milan saw by many niche fashions and realised the media and buyers just had selected their own very limited take for commerce that season and pushed it in my country and the foreign magazines

[@portiadane6020]

Brilliant tips as usual, written down for future reference! Note to self: Read before shopping!😳

[@pixsiedoll2341]

Have you ever made a video about 3 word method? Curios what's your 3 words

[@aliciaanderson3622]

This, this, this! Such great advice.

[@marilenaireland6045]

What a sensible list!

[@lynnpetti3817]

Great content!

[@HA-xq9eo]

So insightful❤

[@NancyDriscoll-m4s]

Love this ❤

[@janetdaniel9661]

Very useful once again x

[@Coral_Forever]

Thank you!!!!!❤

[@JanetChristophersen]

And avoid the costly extremes. Maybe buy a cheap extreme, maybe on Sale. Lydia chose hugely oversized costly jackets which were too extreme and have disappeared. I do have the occasional extreme which has lasted forever because of some quality like fabric or the leather and colour by or design rxcellence.

[@JanetChristophersen]

If testingcolour against you do it for a second or two. Beyond that your eyes adjust and tolerate the incorrect colour. I had excellent colour assessment years ago and then terrible assessment by an englishwomanexpat in Melbourne. She held colours against me for minutes and told me incorrrct things. Bd warned Colour assessment done properly is magical.

[@mmmmmmolly]

Is that a Parima Studio print in the bg? 👀

[@lorettaweber7737]

Refreshing to remind not to buy things we don’t need

[@pixsiedoll2341]

I hope you learn how to make timestamps and put in your videos

[@trishfish5]

I know this is video is about not spending more money but I need to know your nail color here

[@marieoliphant8305]

Does anyone really “need” anything new? 😂😂😂 I don’t think I’ve ever really “needed” anything. But it’s sure fun to get new stuff.

[@kaleighduggan6729]

Yes, you need workwear and clothes to layer and keep you warm? Obviously you need some clothes in your wardrobe ..

[@mireille1594]

That jacket is way too big, very distracting.

[@galynaprog857]

She used to enjoy oversized style.

[@annkristinskadberg4417]

Very useful tips! - and your channel inspires me a lot already, to get more use out of what I already have and just mix and match more✨✨🤍👌 Also I was wondering if you could show us your perfumecollection?🥰

[@suefranklin1476]

Hi Lydia, I remember you did a video like this, quite a while back. Since implicating these ideas, have been using my clothes to make so many outfits and I really look at my wardrobe differently now…… So many thanks’
