I was thinking this too... please narrate my life. It would go way smoother with her voice instead of mine, for sure.

[@bonnieoliver219]

Great advice! For many years, I have used the trick to measure the pants for fit! I laughed recently when shopping in a second hand market as I noticed a woman staring at me as I measured the waistband on my neck! I am an American recently retired to southern Italy, I found a fabulous second hand shop and have recently acquired an original Louie Vuitton handbag, and a beautiful Versace blouse at a fraction of the original price. It’s not about the label and price point. It’s about the quality and design. I worn scrubs for many years because I worked as a nurse in major trauma and critical care. Now, in retirement i love wearing beautiful outfits, it gives me joy. I dress up to go to the supermarket! Your advice has been very helpful in helping me find my way in the world of fashion, and expressing my individual style. Grazie Mille.

[@susanmathis1682]

”Cultivate personal style over personal fashion” awesome 👍

[@dahenry8888]

Best tip ever!👍👍

[@df3172]

agreed! i am a very artistic artist & dress to reflect that. so many folks, over the years, say that i am always well put together. i mix and match various clothing genres, so that i can look "goth" and also "bohemian," all at the same time!

[@plexussojus5125]

Dear Audrey, your rule, that an outfit should not have more than 3 colours is key! I am very thankful for all of your tips. The one to estimate if a blouse will fit is new to me and I'll try this on my next shopping trip. Also: your voice calms me down.

[@MissyJPHD]

Plexus Sojus I was going to make the same comment about the three colour rule! That helped me this weekend when I was planning my outfit. I knew something seemed not right with my outfit and I had four colours, so I switched one item in my outfit and it looked so much better!

[@plexussojus5125]

@@MissyJPHD Exactly. I was applying all her "rules" somehow unconsciously and sometimes, when I didn't, I felt something is wrong with the outfit but couldn't tell what. Now I am aware of these rules and can avoid such uncohesive outfits.

[@goldensunflower229]

Yes! I’ve been putting that into practice and my outfit has looked more put together and more thoughtful. I play around with color as well, since it’s fall (my favorite time of the year) there are tons of items in my favorite tone colors. It’s so much fun for me. I look at clothes more than just a way to cover up my body.

[@michellebarnes7327]

The three-color advice has really changed the way people at work see me. I get a lot of comments about how well put together I look since implementing this conscientiously.

[@Aline-ub3ie]

people go over three colors? i wear black on black on black

[@katherinemargeson8082]

Great ideas! Thank you. Please consider creating videos on: 1. Choosing glasses 2. An all flat shoe wardrobe 3. How to look good when having to wear all flats shoes or other restrictions because of disability. Other topics could be, how do you choose a cane or disguise or dress around a brace?

[@simosimo7560]

Interesting! I usually wear flat shoes, heels very seldom.

[@lordfreerealestate8302]

I don't wear heels either - not because of disability but because they are uncomfortable.

[@jrc150]

As an optician, for choosing glasses I say please go to your local optical and a good optician will select frames that will fit your perfectly. There are also bespoke eyewear liens if you don’t find what you like.

[@bludiamond]

Same! I have really wide feet and no money so finding shoes that fit that I can afford is impossible. :(

[@OliviaEglantine]

That's why I have one coat, one bag, one pair of boots, all black. It always matches and I don't have to think about it or risk forgetting something important in one of the others. Surely that has also nothing to do with money, nooo :D

[@jennhill8708]

@@bludiamond, I have feet that are quite wide across the toe box & a AA heel. I generally purchase Haflinger mules. They fit well & are well made. I search EBay & find new or "used" (often without even a scuff on the soles) shoes I can afford, there.

[@jennhill8708]

@@OliviaEglantine chuckles.... Nope. Not at all. (Hums as she walks away. Can't whistle!) I've found buying quality returns or otherwise "used" on EBay, generally in as new condition, I'm actually able to get shoes that fit my feet. Mules are a God-send.

[@cellyjohnson]

That part about the pattern aligning is interesting. I didn’t know it was an indicator of a high quality garment, but I do avoid mismatched patterns simply because it looks bad. This is good to know though.

I enjoy your videos very much. I smiled when you said you had a silk scarf six years, in your wardrobe. I have had silk scarves passed down to me from my mother from her mother, so at least 70 years old. They are still in reasonable condition with only a few rust marks. Still very wearable if you tie them the right way. I love them for their beauty and their history.

[@marthaross6301]

Anna Mcarthur isn’t it wonderful to have quality items that are heirlooms... I have things that go back to my grandmother 40’s-65 And very special things that were my great grandmothers. A few pieces beyond that. It’s so special to still enjoy them

[@princesslisamarie7860]

Martha Ross Usually these items are not only special but they’re also classic, timeless and absolutely beautiful. I feel the most classy when I have on a beautiful hat from about the 1940s paired with a lovely tailored dress and a fabulous handbag!

[@TheBCompany]

I appreciate your educational efforts, Audrey. People used to be taught quality in home economics, but once those classes disappeared, manufacturers were able to sell more on marketing and less based on quality.

[@TheBCompany]

@Olivia Purcel I am in favor of teaching critical thinking skills in elementary schools (in addition to home ec)...of course, our kids will be intelligent and maybe a little bit less compliant...and that's a good thing in many ways. :)

[@TheBCompany]

@Olivia Purcel I agree...but many people would not - regardless of gender - as they still embrace old-school thinking that prefers obedience and conformity (in women and children)...we can raise their awareness to "check" this way of thinking. Look at our leadership example, leaping to intimidate or shutdown anyone who raises a question...when a child grows up in this environment, they tend to comply rather than dare to think critically. It is a cycle that needs work to break, we can't just wish it away.

[@lcook3528]

Through the years I have found I would rather have fewer clothing items, with the bulk of the ones I do have being high quality, classic styles. I'm slowly replacing and purging my closet with this attitude. And the personal color pallet is key. I didn't realize it until watching this video, but that's the direction I'm going. These are fantastic tips. Thank you, Audrey.

[@edennis8578]

I got out of buying few but higher quality items when I was a young mother. Spills, goopy hands, my weight going up and down all the time, etc. Now I'm trying to buy more high-quality things again. I keep having to remind myself that I don't have to worry about stains every day.

[@angelaburrow8114]

I've been using the technique of holding up a top around my bust to check sizing for years. My Mum showed me it when I was a child. It's especially helpful if you're in a wheelchair, as disabled changing rooms are usually a nightmare, either too small, difficult to reach or used for storage & full of boxes. You can also use the same technique for your bottom half. I imagine it would be more reliable than using your neck, for people who are pear or apple shaped. There is a similar technique for socks. I know most socks have added synthetic fibres for stretch, but natural ones do not stretch at all so you have to buy the exact size. Clench your fist & wrap the sock around the widest part. The heel & toe of the sock should meet comfortably & slightly overlap, by about half a centimetre. I worked part time in a sock shop from the ages of 13 to 26, from school to post-graduate studies. It's a method we always used & were a very popular supplier of pure cotton & wool socks in our city. We had lots of regulars, including the staff at 2 local theatres who always had unusual requests. I remember the shop owner's delight when she managed to source a pair of over-the-knee socks for a leading lady in neon pink & green stripe in the late 80s. They were hideous but perfect for the role. I've forgotten what it was.

[@user-xd1bn6os8d]

I live in humid/hot weather all year long, love to see what you could put together

[@user-px6ji5sl5b]

Hot humid weather is awful. Glad I live in Switzerland where our climate is warm but mild with dry snowy winters. But I know the problem of hot humid weather when I used to live in Durban South Africa for a few years.

[@klcampy]

Same here. I live in Florida and am yearning for cooler, dryer weather!

[@janegeorge-john7272]

Me too, I live in the Caribbean so we are in ‘Summer,’ all year round, it’s just that our summer months are usually really hot and humid. We never usually go below 82 degrees so we can’t change our wardrobes around for the seasons. I have got my colors sorted, basically lots of white, along with black, beige and dark blue, with pink and periwinkle blue as accent colors. we don’t have excuses to wear sweaters, coats and all those lovely winter accessories. So I would be really interested on wardrobe suggestions for really hot weather, and, for using them year round.

[@user-px6ji5sl5b]

@@janegeorge-john7272 Hi Jane, I smiled when I read at what you wrote. Like you say you hardly need to wear a jersey in the Caribbean. Here in Switzerland, it is another story. We need to have plently of socks, good strong shoes, jerseys and jackets. Our weather can change in a few hours. But we are lucky having four very different seasons.

[@rola3045]

I live in Dubai and our winters last about a month, and the temp only drops to 14C. The highest it goes up to in the summer is 49C. My hair is suffering every day :(

[@katycarter2427]

I love your videos and the focus on developing a personal style. A note on natural fibers. These fibers also are breathable. Where I live in the desert of Arizona, I only wear linen, cotton, or silk in the summer. But, even in the winter, it is easy to overheat in a synthetic polyester fabric. A wool or cashmere will keep you warm without overheating, whereas you may find a coat or jacket in synthetic needing to be taken on and off to regulate temperature.

[@jessiejessie661]

guess i've established the color pallette rule because my eyes are always automatically drawn to black and navy. now the problem is to avoid buying something so similar to what i already have at home 😂 you look really beautiful audrey, have a great day! ♥

@Jessica, you can also pair black and navy in one outfit. It’s considered very “ Parisian”. Whatever its inspiration, these two colors can look fantastic together, in my opinion (IMO). Have a nice week. 🙂🌸

[@Sophesi]

I just finished college and was at Nordstroms on the escalator I could see myself from a distance in the mirror. There I was in my old favorite coat it was way too big, shapeless and any life it had was now long gone! I started laughing . I went straight to the coat department and bought a well tailored fitted, high quality coat. Sometimes seeing yourself in a mirror from a far changes your view of things.

These are all very good tips especially for those who are just starting out with dressing better. The colour palette tip is a big one that I recommend to a lot of people. Once you've found the palette that looks good with your complexion that's great, but don't forget to personalize it by highlighting your favourite colours from it. My mom and I have a very similar complexion but our closets are very different with the colours we gravitate toward. It really lets your personality shine which in turn helps you look better in your outfits.

Your tips are always valuable but your tips on estimating if pants or a blouse will fit are priceless. Sizes vary so much from brand to brand, and manufacturer to manufacturer. These two quick checks will be real time savers when heading to the dressing room. Thank you.

your voice is so relaxing to listen to, and you've really helped me with how to dress recently!! i love your videos :)

[@nesssharp8146]

Such great tips. I stumbled on the colour palette tips myself after moving over seas and having to fit all clothes in 2 suitcases. At the time, I had red and black glasses, and navy blue glasses, so anything that made it into my suitcase had to be in red, navy, cream or black! I get comments all the time about being "well-dressed", yet I have a tiny capsule wardrobe. So easy to match everything and I never get stuck for outfits! Thanks for your sizing tips 💚

Love your videos! They have really helped me figure out my style and try new things!

[@anastasiaremmes6601]

I buy timeless styles in the second-hand market. I am picky about brands, but I found a great store that stocks St. John, Prada, Chanel, Gucci. That is fantastic way to shop for me!

[@erikaelizabethlopez9212]

Where do you buy from?

@Caiti M You are in for a treat! Great thrift and resale stores! Blu Bird Circle, The Guild Thrift, Junior Forum....great coach bags, I MEAN!!! Welcome to H-Town!

[@jackiebaucom9513]

Thank you for sharing all that you do! You really helped me shop my closet and start to focus more on my personal style. I’m so thankful I found your channel.

[@susaneliason7121]

What a delightful, helpful person! I look forward to hearing more.

[@jeannieherrer9323]

Thank you for your advice. The guidelines are very helpful. I have a closet full of clothes and I have the tendency to say I have nothing to wear. So mix and match sounds like a great idea.❤

Goodness. You are the sister I never had. So genuine and warm and stylish. Every video is such a treat! Thank you so much for all your hard work. Much love. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Thanks for being my Style Guru! I learn so much from your videos, and enjoy how beautiful and stylish they are. AND that you keep the content rich and concise. Love the fit hacks, too. Thank you!

found my dream mini series! Thank you Audrey!

FABRIC: I finally found a pair of gaberdine black dress slacks....it took me over a year and now I love them and wear them all the time.....great video

[@kayseacamp]

The color palette tip is the best ever. Once I figured mine out years ago it has saved me from spending way more money than I needed to. I used to feel like I HAD to wear color so I’d buy things in different colors and half the time I’d only ever wear the same 2 colors and everything would just go unworn. Now my closet is mainly black and white with only sprinkles of dusty rose, burgundy, and muted green.

[@monajones6748]

I subscribed simply because I feel like I’ve known you for ages & you seem like such a GENUINE person! Your voice is everything! Great video and advice!

[@BookYourImagination]

OMG, the tip about fitting pants around the neck or tops under the armpits is so valuable!! I was just heading to a thrift store when your video popped up! Great tips!

[@kirathelightworker]

I really appreciate your existence. Thank you for sharing your beautiful perspective with the world! Your videos are my therapy lol ✨

[@sugarplumk2381]

I’ve always used the method of wrapping clothes around me to the under arms to see if the fit but never the trouser measurement you showed. I’d feel a bit sill in a shop doing that but may I’ll try it 😂 Thank you for the video.

[@lanite6398]

I learned a lot from your tips on the dressing. I love your voice, so sweet and clear

[@sunnypeterson8763]

I'm so excited to try the shirt fit thing! I knew the pants one, but not shirts. Thanks!

[@bethsellers1796]

thank you for mentioning patterns lining up at the seams. I sew and that's a real skill and a sign of quality for sure.

[@jennhill8708]

I find myself doing this almost automatically. I do have flops, now & again, because I really didn't understand why one thing was perfect & another wasn't. Black, grey, red, & purple are my favorites, with black being my base color & the others are accent. My second base color is a vibrant, cool, red. I always wear dresses/skirts, never slacks or jeans. That way, I feel more put together & retain modesty. You're helping me articulate what I like, why, & what has caused the occasional flop. Thank you.

[@ladypen1000]

I didn't know about what was happening to the Outlet Stores but on a few occasions I have looked at so called "Designer Items" and actually thought they were fakes! Lovely video Audrey. Thank you.

[@andreaplummer3841]

One thing on button holes: look closely at them. If you see edges of fabric, they were sewn and then cut, which is a cheaper way of construction. It should be a smooth edge of thread, indicating they were cut, then sewn. Also, buttons on lined pieces: flip it over and look at the back. If the buttons were sewn through the lining: cheaply made.

[@truegritcouture]

Some wonderful, inspiring tips! Thanks so much, Audrey 😊🌺

[@bevsines876]

Thankyou very much Audrey. The tip about the shirt was my favourite. Holding it across the bust and under the armpits. This is going to be so useful. Beverley. Xx

[@melocoton7]

LOL! the Shirt Trick is something I have been doing for years! It works every time!

[@felicitygrace5113]

Love how you explain everything! It is very informative! Love your videos!!
