A good budget-friendly way to buy is shopping at thrift and consignment stores. I have found well- made, excellent quality items for as little as $4. Be patient and check them well. You could be happily surprised.

[@annlatham]

Absolutely!

[@ANNAREID29]

Thrifting always a great idea! ❤️

[@charlottejohnk6712]

Awesome video! First of all, I never thought your sound was a problem. I watched this video twice and took notes, you simplified the process of putting an outfit together soooo well! Turns out I have all of the elements already and just need to do some experimenting ❤

[@ANNAREID29]

That's so good to hear! It's thrilling when you find an outfit in your closet you never knew was even in there 😃

[@AlwaysHapp1989]

Love how you explained how to “break down” a Pinterest outfit. Never really thought about it in that way. ❤ thanks for the tip. 👍

[@ANNAREID29]

Hope it helps! ❤️❤️

[@AlwaysHapp1989]

@@ANNAREID29 definitely does!❤️

I love the look of the striped sweater. I went out of my way this summer and got a lightweight cotton navy/white stripe sweater. I’m having a hard time keeping that sweater on. It still has the tags on it and I say this because I’m a DD bust, and I just feel it adds volume. The last nine months I have been watching closely what I ate, and have lost 40 pounds so my hope is eventually I’ll feel more comfortable in this sweater. Thank you

[@ANNAREID29]

Wow!! Good for you, that is no small feat! Maybe try wearing it to somewhere you don't care about - like small errands, the grocery store etc and see how you feel in it? Sometimes we just have to take an item for a spin and it helps determine if yes, it's great and I love it, or no, I felt super weird and it needs to go. I hope that helps ❤️❤️❤️

[@christinat.7264]

Yes;). I'm going for the tonal colors. It really makes me feel coordinated, elegant, and so easy. Slim too!!!!😊

[@ANNAREID29]

Yes! 🙌❤️

[@midlifemom5829]

Noticing Khols has stepped up their style offerings but the prices make me laugh as they're close to Nordy prices 😂. So I wait for Kohls sales.

[@ANNAREID29]

I don't know about that, I don't know anywhere that sells jeans for under $50 that are actually good except Kohl's 😃 That being said, they do have sales often! ❤️❤️❤️

[@DonnaScharff]

Good Morning Anna, loved most of these great tips, especially the outfit formulas. I'd so love to see a video which is dedicated to outfit formulas. My go to formula when I don't know what I really want to wear is sandwich dressing. It's simple and easy styling. But, I would love to hear more about other outfit formulas. Thanks for all you do to help keep us stylish.

[@ANNAREID29]

Yes! I am working on one I love those kinds of videos as well ❤️❤️

[@dvanhottie]

Really like that tip focusing on type of outfit. Good one and it’s never occurred to me . That’s why I love you!

[@ANNAREID29]

Thank you! So glad that was helpful! ❤️❤️

[@brendashope1558]

Your explanations are super helpful, and you share great ideas. Thank you!!

[@ANNAREID29]

Glad this was helpful! Thank you, Brenda! ❤️

[@tonyak2446]

I like your tip about recreating outfits from Pinterest

[@ANNAREID29]

I hope it helps! ❤️❤️

[@LisaDavis-c2g]

That "teal"top looks especially good on you Anna!Thank you for your vlog today!!♥️♥️

[@ANNAREID29]

Thank you! I love that color too! ❤️❤️

[@elisabethsteel3382]

To me a capsule wardrobe means the basics, it doesn’t mean a minimalist wardrobe! You can add anything you want to your basics to suit your lifestyle! Thank you for sharing! Love all your content! 🤗👍

[@ANNAREID29]

Agreed! I think I had to rework what a "capsule wardrobe" meant in my head and you're right, it's having good basics and pieces that are super functional! ❤️❤️❤️

[@cathylehman7538]

I recently thrifted a brand new Ralph Lauren tan trench coat with the tags still on it🎉

[@ANNAREID29]

Amazing!! I have a RL trench and I love it!

[@fishandfloral]

As I have replaced everything in my wardrobe over the past year, I am quite enjoying thrifting and consignment. It lets me try out styles at lower cost, as I’m still trying to figure out what looks most flattering. I specifically look for top brands and natural materials such as linen, silk, cashmere and wool.

[@midlifemom5829]

Id like to thrift but the stores in Southern California price items like brand new retail 🙄

[@ANNAREID29]

That's amazing! That's such a great way to try new things! ❤️❤️

[@eileencarroll6418]

I like thrifting too. It is a great guilt-free way to take a chance prints and pass them on before I feel tired in them.

[@eileencarroll6418]

Loved your tip about STRUCTURE. Meant to comment on your shoe video: I love the color of your pale blue Adidas. That blue is classic with beige, but can be fresh and modern when paired with caramel, toffee, chocolate brown. Pale blue can also push the envelope paired with yellow-greens and almost mustard for a sweet and sour dissonance. An all-sweet option might be inspired by the way a warm sunset reflects on a white picket fence: sunlit patches are lit up in pale oranges and the shadows read as cool blues. Beautiful. For fall, you have so many beautiful browns in your wardrobe that would look gorgeous with the blue Adidas. And of course denim. You made a good call passing on the brown Adidas because they were so similar to the burgundy. And you have other brown shoes in other shapes and textures. You've got all bases covered. After your astute observations on the t-strap angles, I saw a similar effect on the curved lines of the Western silhouette Vionic boots. Instead of a straight horizontal line cutting your legs off, the sides curving down in a V on the front seam makes your legs look longer and the curved line is not as abrupt and would look good with a skirt. Now that we're getting cooler weather, please do a video about layering and accessories. You touched on the structured element today, but when I start adding layers it does not feel right, I am not used to it and I wind up leaving a pile of rejects at the door before I leave the house. I feel overwhelmed, but sometimes I just want to wear a baseball cap. Then do I need to stick to sunglasses, bag and shoes but skip a scarf and jewelry? When could I wear a cozy blanket scarf? I feel overwhelmed. I hope you have a great week. 👟👢👟👢❤

[@ANNAREID29]

First of all, thank you for the brown + blue adidas idea! I am going to try that! ❤️ Layering - yes I can understand how it gets overwhelming! Let me see what I can come up with! If you live in a colder climate, try checking our Lydia Tomlinson I think she does a lot of layered outfits and it might be helpful! ❤️❤️

[@analys1422]

Anna, any chance you would consider a video for Florida, fall & winter outfit, I know layering is our go to, perhaps something different? Please ❤

[@zishmasafi4503]

Anna this video is a godsend for me!! As I was listening I was quite literally missing one of my tops that I got from target 5 years ago but unfortunately had to declutter since I couldn’t get a stain out!! Lo and behold, you showed an EXACT dupe of it to the point of having a horizontal ribbed pattern!! 🥺 I can’t tell you how excited I am. Getting two whites this time since I can’t bear the thought of getting it dirty. Thank you!! 🤍🤍

[@ANNAREID29]

Aw I’m so glad you found your favorite too again!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@marieseiden924]

I have been using a longer but lighter coat for fall events outside instead of a cardigan or blazer and it really looks so much better and I dont get chilly as easily lol

[@ANNAREID29]

Love this! ❤️❤️

[@elainecondrin1927]

Love ur vlogs! But u talking about a Limited wardrobe is pretty funny!😂

[@doricetimko5403]

Right?

[@ANNAREID29]

It depends on what you consider “limited” 😎

[@grammyet]

Very interesting video today. The Pinterst breakdown is a good way to make sense out of the inspiration. I wonder if instead of calling it a capsule wardrobe, people started calling it a 'Coordinated Collection' or 'Coordinated Wardrobe' it would lose some of the scariness. The word capsule always sounds so restricting and small. Lots of great tips and ways to put things together. A little planning goes a long way to looking pulled together. Thank you for sharing!

[@christianeraphael1270]

Thank you Anna, 💐 lovely video with a lot of very useful advice. I will surely see my clothes now from a different, better point of view. I think a long, nice coat belted up does magic, for gentlemen, too! Everyone looks pulled together, as long as the coat is closed, it does not even matter so much whats worn under it. Over here, it is already cold enough that one can wear the coat while skimming through a supermaket. Wore mine to Aldi yesterday 🤭

[@ANNAREID29]

Nice!! Love the long coat. It's such an easy upgrade! ❤️❤️

[@gabrielagil]

What a wonderful video, I absolutely love these tips.

I'm too much of a maximalist to have just 20 pieces in my closet ( I like color & variety)but I do use the idea of a capsule wardrobe to organize my closet & make any additional purchases. So I have capsules within my closet by color & somewhat by season. ( Where I currently live is warm to hot 10 months out of the year so there's no seasonal closet change out) I'm definitely a tonal or monochromatic dresser & I have my closet organized by color/ item. Tops, dresses, pants. I hang most of what I have except pj's & underwear/socks/ leggings/workout. I'm very much a jacket person ( it could be a lightweight duster sweater or crochet cardigan or kimomo) over basics & maxi dresses but I highly recommend having 2 coats. One short & one long. If you spend most of your time in a car, you'll probably need a shorter coat but if you live in a walkable city & take public trans a longer coat will be indispensable. I walk a lot & we go into the city for theatre & concerts so I like having a long coat to wear over a dress on a cooler evening. The formula idea of analyzing pinterest outfits is great. People get hung up on individual specific items & then look to buy that exact top or pant instead paying attention to the formula & silhouette. Loose over slim, slim over loose, short over long, etc. If you organize your closet by color/ item or even just color, it becomes obvious what your neutrals & accessories should be & what colors dominate in your wardrobe. You might think twice before buying another white blouse or black dress 😊

[@ANNAREID29]

Love this!! I think I need to do a whole video on the capsule wardrobe but the name gives me anxiety 😂😂 I definitely have more than 20 items in my closet BUT having tops and bottoms that all go together in many different ways has been a game changer so that's more the point I was getting at. Also, I love my color coordinated closet, too! It just works! ❤️❤️❤️

[@janetwilliams7705]

Thank you.

[@ANNAREID29]

You're so welcome! ❤️❤️

[@annnemesh]

Sounds great! Curious, what mic are you using now?

[@ANNAREID29]

It's this one! amzn.to/3YoZ8bh I had a ver hard time finding one that sounded good but i'm liking this one so far ❤️❤️

[@andream9977]

I never thought your sound was an issue

[@ANNAREID29]

Thank you! I'm glad to hear it wasn't an issue for everyone! ❤️❤️

[@lesann1896]

I love Conrad brand but they don’t make petite jeans or pants

[@brendashope1558]

Right!?! So frustrating

[@ANNAREID29]

The pants run pretty short, as in I can wear flats and I’m 5’6 but not sure if that helps?

[@donnamcdermott443]

Pull out the colour you have the most for tonal dressing me opening wardrobe black then 😢

[@ANNAREID29]

I love all black but understand being tired of it! Try the 2nd color ❤️

[@francoisesmet4793]

Sorry that COS has only small size 😢

[@ANNAREID29]

Keep checking back! ❤️

[@mariecurie7491]

A colour between burgundy and brown is perhaps aubergine? Eggplant?

[@overthinkingkpop]

Eggplant errs too much on the purple side imo

[@ANNAREID29]

Love the idea! Aubergine maybe?!

[@Lindaastewart7015]

It’s not my style, but have noticed Kamala also wearing the gold big link necklace that you love. You girls are in style!
