Fashion bloggers won’t teach you YOUR style ✨ It’s more than just clothes

Watched tons of style videos but still can’t figure your wardrobe out? It’s because building a personal style is more than just trends, cores, or a variety of clothes ✨Extra videos every week (this week, it’s a relaxed walk in Tbilisi): / anagoldberg

[@carterb43]

I adore the way you said, “After all, who cares?” My sentiments exactly!

[@rhosymedra6628]

love this! It took me awhile to figure out that all the chorus of "express yourself! wear bright patterns and colours!" made me so uncomfortable because that isn't MY self. I feel the most comfortable and at home in my self when I am wearing solid colours and plain clothes. I am expressing myself, but it doesn't look the way people expect self expression to look.

[@carterb43]

Ana- On the contrary, the dark jewel colors you wear make you look vibrant and alive, not older. Those same colors are wrong on me, but they were perfect on my mother who shared your coloring. I am blonde with green eyes and lighter colors are best for me. I think making a blanket statement about what colors we should all be wearing is silly. Keep doing you. You look beautiful! ❤

[@anagoldberg]

Thank you, dear Beth ❤️

[@BunsenHoneydew001]

"Sad moth caught in the daylight" 😄 I may have to borrow that 😊❤️

[@gingermcintosh6545]

I love your new clothes. I’m old and generally unconcerned about how I look. Just recently I have been caring again, a bit. I don’t know why. I never go anywhere, never see anyone, except doctors. But I bought two new t-shirt dresses and some silver sandals. On sale of course. And I have been considering wearing some makeup. I don’t know what’s come over me. But I enjoyed your comments.

[@pauladavey4467]

Enjoy it. Have fun

[@anne-cecilemouget1657]

silver sandals can be source of fun and joy in themselves... clothing can be like food not only it is necessary but it can bring some enjoyment in colors or textures and make up can be a nice self-care moment :) I like skin care products with nice smells, not for any other purpose than bringing me joy :)

[@anagoldberg]

Dear Ginger, I think it's fun to play with your looks and just enjoy being in your own body, dressing it in clothes that you like and applying makeup if you want to! Sending much love ❤️

[@jeanettekays1954]

Silver candles and a touch of makeup can do so much to elevate your spirits. Good for you.

[@user-me3wt1rw9f]

I'm 64 but health issues make me look and feel much older but I too have discovered an interest in clothing and makeup I thought had gone forever. Enjoy yourself.

[@SchneppFlute]

Personally, I like the deeper shades as well. No beige ever! And another factor is darker colors don't show so much dirt so there's less laundry work. The colors and styles you have choosen for yourself are perfect for you, and your own unique style is so refreshingly not stereotypical. The questions you posed are thought-provoking, especially "do you smile at yourself in the mirror!" I try to only wear pieces with which I can guarantee that smile. 😊

[@debramoss1626]

I'm 70 now. You are correct, nobody cares. I dress for comfort and what I like. I'm a gran and I'm plus size!

[@d.c.7285]

Thank you so much for that video! We tend to think that people care, they don't. We care. We care for only ourselves. And that's a fact. It can sometimes be good :)

[@kristinakuhn6480]

100% yes, we all take ourselfs too seriously. The Most people don‘t care of other. So feel free

[@williamclark1244]

I've never been someone that follows fashion trends. My tastes have changed over the years but I have always worn clothing that I like, feel good in and not for anyones approval. Being my authentic self I could just be walking down the street, standing in line at the market, waiting for a bus/train and someone will always compliment me on my appearance.

[@rameshwolf]

Ana, you're gorgeous. You're right, we see our own imperfections and others don't! As a woman who is also an HSP and appreciates fashion I really appreciate your perspectives.

[@tessab.2065]

You look fabulous! I love the color of the linen clothing you chose, and your haircut looks amazing! There's nothing wrong with your teeth, and you don't need makeup! Blessings!

[@vanilla_vanancie]

When I moved south, to Spain, I changed my wardrobe completely. I bought linnen clothes, and I also change the colours from black and blue..ish, to a green/yellowish scale. Feeling refreshed 😁

[@michelecraig9658]

I loved living in Berkeley, because no one cares what you were wearing and you could wear whatever you wanted. However, living in a more conservative place, I find that sometimes I wear things to "blend in." I see it like camouflage. I guess I have always seen clothing as camouflage. I am 65 and I do not even really ever know what my style is. I do know that people where I live now see me as a liberal hippie type person, but I think this is because I don't dress in the same style everyday. Some days I want to dress like a cowgirl, some days like the Ranger I used to be, some days like a forest goddess.

[@jmsl_910]

i hear you

[@michelemilne9612]

A smile is the best accessory. I appreciate your honest advice given with real humility. I also hate the sameness of the modern world. 🌿

[@coco85949]

" it is beautiful to be different "...so true ! On the streets one can see a kind of uniform concerning clothing and even haircuts🤔 I agree with you about this topic😊 Thank you very much for another honest video, dear Ana ❤

[@summerrain7466]

I followed one fashion trend as a teenager, and spent 4 years trapped in skinny jeans. This taught me that I prefer clothing that is loose fitting and light weight. I am attracted to earth tones and flowy and vintage styles. If I really like the cut and style of a garment I find , I will look online to see what other colors they offer.

[@maureencasey7500]

🦋 You are a vibrant butterfly! Glad you said no to sad moths! 😅

[@skimusic3773]

I am glad that you have relaxed into your own beauty. As an elder woman, I love the phrase "coming into my years" because it embodies for me the ability to relax into the "who cares?" I wrote a song whose chorus is: "I am sure that life is a journey. I'm pretty sure that I'm not in charge. I try to do my part with an open heart, try not to take life a little too hard.." Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@janic54]

With so much "influence" in our lives (we want it or not) that it is very complexe to figure out what to choose to really represent our own personality! It takes time: we have to detach ourselves not only from our daily influences but also what we were told at a young age....At almost 70 years old I now wear (mostly) what I truly like and I feel more confident! People notice you when you are confident: I have strangers complimenting me on my outfits!!!Unbelievable!!!

[@aquamar1003]

Ana let us rock dark jewel tones ! And after all: I at least look sick with beiges. And you’re right ! It’s not just the colour types. I cherish what my mother has sewn me the most (mostly skirts), therefore I have excess but I won’t give away what she gave me :)

[@wyrdwitch13]

What a wonderful approach, so lovely and creative! I am so happy you shared all of this and the linen company. I've been hugely into fashion since I was about 4 and my mother let me design my own outfits that she would sew for me. I have shopped vintage/second hand since a teenager, have worked in fashion on and off and have owned my own little shops a few times also. I've always had my own strange style, I also frown at the homogeneously dressed world these days! I am mid-aged now and pastels look atrocious on me-I look much better in richer, darker hues and will never stop wearing them. Like you, I am very pale & they wash me out. I have strongly considered countless times (especially recently) starting a youtube channel regarding sustainable fashion/style on our own terms for mid-life and beyond.

[@anagoldberg]

If you ever start a channel, I'll become a happy subscriber! 😊

[@darbyh.8255]

Wow! Your new clothes look beautiful on you!! Those jewel toned colors look gorgeous on you! You look great and both neutrals and color, but I think the jewel colors can look really regal and classy on all women but especially those lucky enough to have grey hair😉 Thanks for another great video. 💛 Stacy

[@michelecraig9658]

Lol "a sad moth caught in the daylight." You just gave me an idea for a toad dress!

[@Michelle-bk5uq]

I love your take on this subject! I follow many fashion KZbinrs and am on the seemingly never-ending path to find my personal style. I'm 57 and feel like I've gone through many different stages of being. My body is changing and styles that used to be my go to's dont feel comfortable anymore. Currently trying to figure out what works for me now. BTW, I think you look fantastic in dark colors.

[@Linda-cd5up]

Ana, you are so inspiring! Thank you for your honest approach to clothing and emphasizing how important it is to dress in order to make yourself smile. You are keeping it simple, which is so freeing ❤

[@anne-cecilemouget1657]

I dress for myself to feel good and not too hot, not too cold... I have lots of Miss Marple vs Luna Lovegood stuff like crocheted tops, liberty shirts, tweed jackets... I don't care about what other think... being autistic I'll allways be out of place ahahaha. My wardrobe maybe is a bit too big so I try to use what I already have before buying new stuff...

[@ChristysChannelYall]

I like the colors you wear on you. With your dark hair and light skin tone they accentuate instead of taking away from your appearance. My skin and hair color is quite different from yours as you can see in my thumbnail, and some of the colors you wear look good on me too. In fact the color you have on in this video is one of my personal favs. It’s quite interesting how we are marketed to try to be categorized and placed into certain boxes based on what we look like to try and tell us what we should and should not wear. We are each unique and we should embrace that imo too. Great video Ana!

[@9FatraBbits]

Very well said Ana. If none of us are perfect - that’s perfect! I’ve had four kids, I’m over 60, and I love my “imperfect” looks. I feel good and I’m healthy. (I’m already older than my mum who lived to 58.) So I’m grateful. I mostly buy used clothing but I sew and alter or re-style many of my finds. I love black!🐇🖤

[@BunsenHoneydew001]

You have a great perspective on people discovering their own fashion and not being pressured by trends to change their style identity 😊

[@anagoldberg]

Thank you for your kind support, my friend 🌷

[@bettyjo2737]

Good video. When I become 50 I started watching the fashion bloggers to see how to dress for my age. I didn't like a lot of things they were telling us to wear, the colors and the price A lot of the things were not affordable to me. It took me a bit but I just wear what I like. I like the darker colors like you do, and that is what I wear. The outfit you chose is beautiful btw! Thank you for this video! I hope you have a great week!

[@anagoldberg]

Thank you, Betty ❤️

[@maryannah89]

Such a gentle video! Watching style content, I so often feel some sort of frenzied pressure - 'wait, if I don't try to sort this stuff now, I'll miss some sort of train'. Some very important train! Essential! What is it even? 😄I love the sense of non-urgency that suffuses your approach. This is interesting, often delightful, fascinating stuff - but not that important at the end of the day. I'm trying out a really limited wardrobe at the moment. I've shoved a huge portion of my clothes under my bed again. I went away for a week recently and having to decide what few things to pack felt like such a lovely, simplifying process - the permission to rewear, not constantly having to 'change it up' etc. But... you never know if that deliciousness persists when you're back in your daily life 😆 I've gone from being super into warm colours last year to a sort of (gentle) blue period again. This ping-ponging makes me worry - 'omg, i don't have 'personal style'' - but I'm trying to tell myself it's fine, as long as I'm exploring mostly in the confines of what I already have.

[@allthebest744]

Ana, I love your thought of choosing colors from nature. That makes so much sense. I have always liked linen, it’s comfy and can be casual or fancy. Your new outfits are beautiful. I don’t think you know how beautiful you are! Your hair, complexion, smile and eyes are gorgeous! And you have a great fashion sense. You inspire all of us! ❤

[@anagoldberg]

You're so sweet, dear Ruthann 🌷 Thank you!

[@Mimulus2717]

Sad moth caught in the daylight! That gave me a resounding deep belly laugh. I can relate.

[@JP-nl4dp]

I love your new pieces. I just purchased a very wide leg pair of linen pants similar to yours and adore them. They were a departure for me. Sometimes it helps to go with your instinct on what you’ll feel comfortable wearing and try something just because it caught your eye.

[@arguchik]

I love Not Perfect Linen! I purchased a jumpsuit from her with one modification. You could either consider it a sleeveless version of the Torino style or a wide-legged version of the Margaret style. I purchased the Emerald color - same as your blazer. I wanted this to wear to my nephew's wedding. When it arrived and I tried it on, it fit beautifully and was perfect for the occasion. The really nice thing is that I can wear it in lots of other situations. It can be dressed up or down. So I am a huge fan. :)

[@anagoldberg]

I've been eyeing the jumpsuits from the brand too and now I'm inspired by your review! Maybe next time 😊

[@christianemichelberger8245]

Dear Ana, as somebody who has tried to get help in how to dress A LOT, I'm still insecure about it. I appreciate your input so much and will follow your advice, it's really the only way that makes sense. You look absolute gorgeous and radiant with your choice of haircut and clothing. ♥ The only advice that I found suitable for me was to wear only 2 colors. I tried that on holidays with blue and off-white, because I already have quite a few clothes in that color. It was so simple to get dressed and I loved each single outfit.

[@anagoldberg]

Dear Christiane, the tip about wearing just 2 colors is good! It gives enough freedom but still keeps everything simple. Love it 😊 Thank you for your kind compliment! ❤️

[@ytanki]

Thank you for this great and inspiring video, dear Ana. You are so right with your thoughts!❤. Nobody cares, but to realize this and to live my own style, needed many years😃. I am now 62 and wear what I like, regardless of whether it suits my figure! It has to be comfortable and-like you have said- I can smile at me in the mirror ❤️💪🏽. Lots of love to you and Brian 🙋🏼‍♀️😘and thank you ❤️

[@bogusiasymonowicz7649]

I loved the nature inspired styling! I saw recently this beautiful picture of barley fields with some poppies and cornflowers, I might do something around that. This reminds me of summer in Poland.❤ I tend to have two fashion personalities. One the 'creative one', and the comfort one. I love the idea of beautifully/natural styled clothes, but reality is I am a top, jeans and a hoodie girl (sometimes jumper, but no wool as I am too warm in them!) . The look of clothes is important, but also how they feel on our body, if they cover what you want. If I have to think about an item of clothes ( itchiness, rolling up, sliding down), this is a huge no for me regardless of the look! Ok maybe I am not entirely honest here, I WILL wear this scratching sequin hooded jacket to a festival this week, but this is an exception and the best buy from vinted I ever made 😅). Have a lovely week!

[@lllthink]

Very nice topic. One of the secondary things that piques my interest in your videos has always been your wardrobe. I have always admired your autumn colours which remind me of nature, wood walks. The dark reds, greens, browns. My wardrobe colours are light greens, blues, beige and white. I have downsized in colours because these feel relaxing when I open the wardrobe but yours are nice and earthy. Thank you for promoting such an interesting company in clothes.

[@xariexis]

I love, love looooove Not Perfect Linen, I've been LIVING in their pants (several of them) all summer and I'm sold for life. The clothes you picked look amazing on you! ❤❤

[@Jacquie_Kirk_111]

That top looks fantastic on you!

[@ExLibris-Alys]

I love your new outfit! It looks lovely the colours are gorgeous and you look fabulous in it. Like you, I prefer to feel comfortable rather than appear ‘on trend’ and I’m a stage in my life where I feel that the opinions of others are just noise. To borrow a phrase from a famous minimalist I “have only things that spark joy” in my wardrobe. 💛

Wise words “after all who cares”! Mainly only us 😎 I wish more people would listen to their real selves on how to dress so they feel like themselves. Sometimes I look at young people and everyone looks so much the same, like everyone is watching the same fashion blogger.

Firstly just to say I love your choice of colours and outfits and enjoy your wise words. At 62 I am doing my best to continue to be true to myself not always an easy task because people even friends have opinions. Personally I appreciate those around me that have their own true style as I find them more relaxed and honest. I do like a number of fashion bloggers ? You know what I mean it’s not necessarily for their choice of clothing it’s down to their personality and honesty.

[@LauraLu111]

I don't get why that youtuber said such nonsense. But I guess it's just her biased and very unprofessional opinion. You have deep dark features and dark colors are absolutely perfect on you! 💜

Настя, привет! Полностью с тобой согласна. Я тоже люблю насыщенные цвета, от беж или серого выгляжу без загара больной. Очень красивые у тебя обновки, винный и синий - мои любимые цвета.

It's true when you get older (60's at least) you have probably figured out what you like to wear and don't really care what other people think that much. It's not either/or though - you can dress for you AND for what other people may like. It's not mutually exclusive.

[@flowerboy7810]

I am 36 and I feel like I have only found my personal style in the past few years. I struggled for a long time with not being able to differentiate between what I like, which is many different styles, and what I feel comfortable in. For example, when I was younger I probably would have tried to emulate your style, which I like a lot! But now I know I can admire you, and yet have a solid sense of self. I am at a place where there is not one item in my closet I don't want to wear. I still make mistakes occasionally, I recently tried one of the coveralls that are popular right now. I like it a lot but I never feel comfortable in it. I'm not even sure why, but it's got to go regardless! I love linen, your new linen clothes are beautiful. I think deep jewel tones are perfect on you. I completely disagree with limiting yourself based on what people of any age are "supposed" to wear. That is no way to live. Freedom of style for all! The world is boring enough already.
