[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Ah thank you so much xx

[@sarahfrischmann9088]

Thank you! My belly has never been the same since becoming a mom. The styles I used to wear don't look good anymore and I've been lost on how to wear some of my favorite wardrobe staples. I found you because I googled how to wear a slip skirt when you have a belly. Also, you look slammin' in the all black outfits! I'm going to try them for myself!

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Thank you very much and welcome to my channel. Hope I can give you loads of inspiration xx

[@diane6037]

Thank you for the inspiration, All the outfits looked fab on you, appreciate you putting these videos together for us 💝

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

My pleasure hun xx

[@sandyf5484]

Thank you Marleen for showing us all the different ways to wear skirts for our apples shape bodies. I don’t have belts because I was always told not to wear belts with big tummy, now thanks to you that you shown me how to wear them I will purchase them. Great video as always 😍

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

It’s all in the styling hun so hopefully this can help a little xx

[@emilylee3182]

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Thank you x

[@lynnclement646]

I love your style. I don't have the same body type, but you show how to work with the body you have. Everything was so pretty and chic. Thank you for sharing

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Ah thank you so much Lynn x

[@lauraTuCo]

Really enjoy your videos - great for making my shape work for me. ❤

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Ah my pleasure xx

[@kristiemaynard8869]

Another very helpful video. I've seen you doing the belt on the outside of the blazer lately, but how about on the outside of a sweater that is on the outside of the skirt? Maybe instead of the tuck? Thanks for sharing all of this with us.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Absolutely, give it a go and see if it’s for you xx

[@Cee0215]

Beautiful lady & a great video. I don't wear skirts but I really want to improve/upgrade my look so will definitely be trying some of these suggestions. I appreciate you❤

[@willowgirl2635]

Everything looked great. I’m more a boxy shape and always second guess myself when wearing a skirt. Thanks

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

My pleasure, I hope this will help a little if you fancy trying xx

[@CamWill-k1g]

Thanks Marleen for another great video. I have a few aline tulle skirts but just couldn’t work out how to wear them and you’ve given me some great ideas. I’m now also on the lookout for a stripey black and white cardigan in Australia! Our H&M don’t have them here.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Ohh try shein. I looked the other day and saw one very like mine, different texture but it had the look. I actually thought of trying it lol

[@Suzieplook]

Wow I’m learning so much thank you Marlene ❤

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Thank you

[@DaisyLarson4936]

I'm more an hour glass shape but still have a big tummy so all of this applies. I once had a huge belt collection...moved house and never saw them again. You've inspired me to start the collection again

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Ah im so glad hun. As you know I love my belts lol

[@janeandneilbeckenham9322]

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

[@karenferguson7662]

Thank you Marlene for showing us all these fantastic ideas. I love the fact you used 'normal' clothes to show us what shapes are best. I'm glad that you even showed how to wear flat shoes stylishly. This is the first time I've watched you, but it won't be the last.🦩🦩🦩

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

I’m so glad you enjoyed. Thank you x

My pleasure xx

[@mmetr11]

So happy to find you! Your body mimics mine! You talk about and show options that deal with the lower belly bulge in addition to the bigger bust and waist. I have two problems that I need help on. One is the issue of layering a jacket or cardigan: 1) I get hot 2) I do partner dancing and an overlayer makes it so the partner cannot come in to get his arm around you 3) all the jackets end up falling towards my arms exposing the bust area and that looks super sloppy. My second problem is that I have foot problems and have to wear orthotics, which limits the shoes available to fairly chunky. Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Not really sure what to reply to here but if you get hot, wear what makes you comfortable. Natural fabrics are best. The same when dancing.. wear what is comfortable. And as for jackets my not really sure what you mean, but if buying a jacket, make sure it fits in the shoulders, even if it means it can’t close. A jacket has to fit in the shoulders to sit nice. And as for shoes, as you have specific requirements, start your outfit with the shoes and build from there.

[@lindafillichio1048]

I just found you today. Love your videos. Do you ever do Amazon shopping videos. Thank you 🩷

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Not really to be honest. I’ve done a few but returns from here in Ireland are so expensive I loose too much money on it to be honest.

[@italexs_]

The White sweater 3:26 would have to be my favorite

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Thank you x

[@barbarajeremy4945]

Thank you for the very gd ideas my problem is foot wear I've bad feet wide and shapeless most shoes don't fit I wear a lot of plain ankle boots can u suggested a footwear trick to help me wear shoes and candles which need to be low 😊

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

If you have bad feet first find a company that have the support you need. Personally I love Clark’s shoes. Insoles can also take you a long way as well, just make sure you get them tailored for your feet. I get mine done in my local sports shop. Then simply identify what shoes you want/can wear. To add a bit of style whilst wearing flats, go for a pointy toes. A pointy toe will elongate your foot and if you want to look a little taller at the same time, go for shoes in the same colour as your trousers. Shoes is often the hardest part to get right so it may help you to start your outfit with the shoes. Hope the helps x

[@kirencouser539]

I love the brown bag - is that one still available?

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

I don’t remember which one I used but check the description box. I leave all links there and alternatives if needed x

[@kirencouser539]

its at 12:54. The other bags are listed but not this one unfortunately

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Sorry if no there then not available sorry

[@judypoole5174]

I'd like to wear a pleated maxi skirt. How would you style it?

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

That much depends on your body shape and personal style.

[@carolperdue7534]

Thanks for the video! I have a black velvet pleated skirt that I never wear because I can't figure out how to make it look unfrumpy! I have a short torso with big boobs and and no waist. 😥 You've given me some ideas so I want to try and make this skirt work.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Ah I’m so glad Carole. It’s often simply the styling that can be the problem. It could also be the length, something i didn’t really talk much about in the video.. so when your trying in your skirt, try placing it in different heights in your body to change the length. It may work better at a different length. X

[@SharonMorrissey-j7z]

Really useful video. Thank you! A shame the subtitles covered your feet though as the shoe options were very interesting.

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

You can take the subtitles off my dear x

[@valerielynn3853]

Haven't wore a skirt in 30 yrs

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Maybe now you fancy a try? (And if you don’t then that is absolutely ok x)

[@valerielynn3853]

@@ImjustmeMarleen maybe some day I will😀

[@anon-c6w]

Im a short fat square apple shape and my legs are fat and i dont know what i can style my body

[@ImjustmeMarleen]

Well then you are just perfect then 😁 and as for how to style an apple, try some of the ideas you see here in my videos. They may not all work for you but it’s trial and error when it comes to fashion. Best of luck x
