The best style advice my Aunt gave me over 50 years ago was: before buying anything new, make sure it will go with AT LEAST 5 other items you currently own - how right she was! I know so many women who ‘never have anything to wear’ and have thousands of pounds of credit card debt because they follow fashion trends that only last a season. I have clothes over 40 years old in my wardrobes because as Marie-Anne says, I bought classics in different colours that can be mixed and matched all this time later - and I’m always guessed at being in my early 40’s (I’m 66). Bravo, Marie-Anne. x

Smart lady ! When growing up in the 50's & 60's , we bought what were then called coordinates / mix 'n match pieces . Then we'd add classic pieces & accessories to dress up or dress down / adapt for the seasons . We even sewed additional pieces to create a custom style , expand our choices & not run into someone wearing the same thing !

Your videos must work miracles. My friend from a French speaking country looked at me the other day and said “You look very chic, like a French woman.” I wasn’t wearing anything new, just somehow put myself together differently. Honestly, I think it may have been having a more confident attitude. So thank you for helping me bring out the French lady hiding inside me. 😊

Decluttering and organizing my wardrobe might be the best advice I've gotten from Marie-Anne so far. It's completely simplified my life and I actually enjoy putting together my outfit for the day - for the first time in my adult life!

Thank you for the great video. Is exactly what I was looking for. I already subscribed myself to your channel. Actually I am in the phase of decluttering my wardrobe. I have a lot of clothes but I felt like nothing to wear. I was looking for a LOT of videos and I learned that: 1) I was missing many basic clothes e.g. a simple black and white T-shirt without any print or logos. That make it easy to combine 2) missing neutral colors. I was always obsessed to buy color clothes because I thought that white, beige or black are too boring. But at the end it was difficult to put all together as it was a one way combination outfit. Again I was missing the basics. 3) Buy the trends. Trends are nice but some time the trends are too short. Now I am very careful with trends and I only buy one or two pieces to trendy my wardrobe and try to check if this can be used further in the future. A good example; I had a huge bunch of skinny jeans in different colors and fabrics style and they are out of style actually. I storage almost all of them (they were quite expensive) and I concentrated on the straight cut as they are never out of style, and a little bit wide leg but in straight cut. I invested actually a lot of time to try to put all together. 4) buy quality over quantity. In my de cluttering I found many pieces were the fabric was cheap and that doesn’t mean that you payed cheap, but with the time the quality confirmed that you threw money for trends 🙈. Now I am careful and I am buying quality. One point that I also discovered is that accessories are also important to polish your look. A simple necklace or watch or earrings a ring, provides a touch and other accessories like a scarf or clutch/ handbags/purse or sunglasses a belt… that make your outfit look more elevated.❤

Newly retired and after watching many of your videos, I have been emboldened to severely pare my wardrobe down - I lived in leggings & had over 20 pairs! Probably 75% of my wardrobe has been removed and I am now working on replacing the remaining items with better choices. Its strange but by diminishing the amount of clothes I had - I have gone from "having nothing to wear" to being able to put outfits together with ease. Thank you for your wonderful advice x

Ann Marie, this exercise is what we all need to start our 2023. The 2 pieces I would add to your capsule wardrobe would be a great fitting denim jacket and a classic cotton, permanent press classic white long sleeve blouse. This may not be an issue in France, but in the USA I often see women especially in the grocery stores in their pajama pants, it is like a national epidemic. I want to say, Go home and get dressed😂😂😂😂

When I recently had physical therapy after an accident, the therapist corrected my posture, saying we can get away with bad posture when young but when older it causes many health problems. Like you, I have to consciously remember to put my chest out and shoulders back. She also said 'tech neck' is epidemic now from people looking down at their phones and laptops. It causes headaches and nerve damage in the neck.

As for body shape, you make it easy for me since we are the same shape. I'm tall too and can relate to your experiences growing up. Something I have noticed: Sometimes an outfit looks good on me in the mirror but not as good in photos that others have taken of me. I have to take photos of myself from different angles to get the full scope of how an outfit really looks on me. For some reason, it's easier for me to spot what can be improved upon when I see myself in photos vs. the mirror.

At age 69, I believe in starting from the inside. I start every morning with 10 minutes of exercise, and go to yoga class twice a week. I don’t have a car, but go around on a pedal bike. When the weather is warm, I swim in the sea (sometimes with jellyfish, ouch). You are so right about posture; I would add flexibility. And a SMILE will light up your face like no amount of makeup. I am neither a season nor a geometrical shape. But I do use a full length mirror (my landlady on a recent visit suggested that I had no use for it, miaow). Then I take a photo and send it to my partner who lives 1,500 kms from me. He scores me out of 10 😂

I found your video on elevating a current outfit inspiring and fun! The day after watching it, I started with an outfit of a burgundy cashmere sweater and jeans. Normally, I step into a pair of ankle boots and walk out the door, but this time, I traded the boots for some wine-colored suede pumps and added an old silk pocket square that used to be my great-uncle's, and clipped on a pair of gold-hooped earrings. I loved the result!! Even my 14-year old, sports-obsessed daughter noticed the change. I felt good and, as I said before, elevating the outfit was fun because it was a creative act to start the day. I love your videos, Marie-Anne; thank you so much!!

Great capsule wardrobe. Mine is a bit different due to climate, but the same concept. (For example I skip the feminine blouse and add an extra sweater). Posture is really everything. A friend has whined that no dresses "hang right" on her. I suggested she look at the mannequin and notice how it's standing 😂. Hey, now dresses hang right on her. Also, about the colors. I've found it helpful to shop, find a well fitting item, then try it on in each different color. I was rocking a black blouse, tried it on in beige and literally looked like I'm a corpse. Dark circles, washed out skin, etc

Beautiful Marie-Anne! Thank you for the 48 outfits using your capsule wardrobe elements. Just a note that outfits 41-48 are with the black pants again, rather than with the jeans.

Your hair looks perfect. I had mine exactlike that for many years and went every 4 weeks. I needed to hear that. Going to a new person tomorrow (with tons of experience). Eventually I need your cut again. Thx for the pep talk.

I went through my spare closet today. There were several tops/blouses that I bought when I weighed 160 pounds. I've lost 25 pounds within the last 9 months. Since I'm only 5'3" tall these tops not only look too big on me, but they hang way to low cutting my height. Marie-Anne always tells us the length of the top can make you look shorter and wider. Even though these tops are high quality and very stylish I need to donate them to our local thrift store. Onward and upward to more befitting to my leaner shape.

Depending on style, try tying a top at your waist or belting as a tunic.

I love your advice. As i am not one of the tiny, skinny, starved, people I have great difficulty finding clothes to fit me in stores in South Africa. So I make my own. I have a few chosen classic patterns that I use. I make the garments to fit, not tightly and not loose and baggy. Everyone asks me where I buy my clothes. I am proud to say I make my own. My best friend is a 1970 vintage Bernina 730 Record. Magnificent machine.

What an excellent, comprehensive list, Marie Anne! Re. color ~ the wrong color will not only make you look tired in general, but will specifically deepen under eye shadows & create shadows around your mouth. A further aspect to consider: Does your complexion look clarified or muddy? Muddy = the "needs a vacation" look.😊 Women must not fear looking outstanding, which their correct colors will provide. Marie Anne, the high contrast of solids in black & white make you look particularly vibrant! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.🤗

Dear Marie-Ann, you look better than ever, so alive and sparkling. In a difficult time in my life, your advice in this video is a real life saver. A heartfelt THANK YOU! Btw.: after you mentioned, how becoming a smile is, I wish you had mentioned the importance of healthy and spotless teeth. Without them, the most put-together appearance is spoiled.

But sometimes naturally looking teeth , healthy but not too white or perfect, also add a bit of classy (I’m not sure I could give any suggestions about being classy😅) look at the British royal family, I’m sure they all have tailored clothes and best medicine but still they look a bit like British 😊 definitely not American and also not French ☺️ but quite nice I would say

Another great video Marie-Anne!! You are charming & look exceptionally well & younger in your last two videos!! 🥂. The problem now is that I have a capsule wardrobe plus all of my original wardrobe that all fit & look good!!! I packed 3 boxes with my summer clothes to make room in my very big closet. I am going on vacation & will deal with it when I get back how to pare down my wardrobe. I have no problem finding something to wear is the good news. Hope all is well with you & your husband on the farm. I will try to find those videos!! 💕🥂🚢
