FASHION INSPO FOR 2024 + CROSSROADS FINDS

[@hiddengemsshoppe]

I wanted to share a sad but fun story and memory about Victor Costa I learned recently. My family just came to visit for the holidays and it was my grandmothers first time coming to visit us in Idaho. I was showing her our house tour and she was looking in my closet and came across a jacket that is one of his designs that I actually inherited from another family member not too long ago. My Nana told us that she went on a date with him ages ago! I just thought that was so cool! Sadly, the next day after my family arrived, she passed very unexpectedly but we had such a fun and special day hearing her tell all these old stories of her youth and I’ll cherish those moments forever. She loved the finer things and all things style and fashion, and was an amazing decorator and has given me so much inspiration throughout my life ❤️

Precious memories!!❤❤

[@sandracalderon6438]

You left the sweatshirt? Whhhhhyyy? It was so cute especially with the shorts. This was fun😃

[@lkofie6670]

I couldn't agree with you more in terms of how long an item has been in a person's closet. There are items that I've had in my closet FOR YEARS and I'm just now getting around to wearing them for the first time. If it doesn't suit my preference or doesn't fit well, then of course I'll purge it. Otherwise, it's the items that make up my personal wardrobe particularly as a maximalist. So if it isn't damaged, ill-fitting, or no longer suit my preference, IT STAYS. Also, YES... KUDOS to the ORIGINAL Dynasty fashion style which is also part of my personal style preference and influence especially for the glam with the furs and sequin and evening gowns to the secretarial looks for the office/board room... LOVE IT.

[@sandyfisbeck9488]

I remembered Contempo Casuals

[@itstrinitykaye]

Omg those plaid shorts!! 🤩

[@daisyrae1543]

Those shorts & that Nebraska shirt was soooo 🔥 ! Loved that outfit!! So many looks you can do with those pieces & that skirt!!

[@haleebhoney4407]

LOVED her in that look! And so happy in it!

[@clairerynn8752]

God the shorts are so good,love princess Diana’s style

[@anamariafloreaharrison3336]

I like old money:-) i also like maximalist. I combine the 2 and aim for a very chic look.

[@nancybecker1173]

“Making the perfect outfit salad…”. So much fun!

[@jessicabirkeland1580]

Love the anti old money energy! 🎉🎉🎉🎉same!!!!

[@minaochoa2729]

Thank You for not adding any of the Y2K trends. I am over it!!! 😂let’s keep it classy 💗

[@marquettahoward3315]

Love this video. I think the old money aesthetic dampers creativity.

[@lkofie6670]

😃...YES...As a woman that's also in my 40's you are truly bringing back memories with the reference of the original Dynasty, princess Diana of the 80's era, and Rampage... and yes I remember Rampage, Contempo Casual, Wet Seal... indeed 😃😄.

[@honeybdream]

Annette I totally agree about embracing personal style & abandoning the tired ‘old money’ look. I’m loving the burst of colours & prints! 🎉🌟

[@debrapinto9405]

Hi I’m so happy to see you back! I’m 70 and I love your style! Sometimes I’m shy about going out in my style which is very much like yours. I love color and prints not boring drab clothes. My husband of 49 years says just go for it who cares you look great. Am I too old?

[@sofiavlasova4333]

You are old enough to wear whatever you want. Not that the right of wearing someting is linked to an age but at the age of 70 you have experienced so many styles, people and whateverthat you can tell what you feel comfortable in. So please, go for it! ❤ Sending love

[@AVintageSplendor]

I 100% agree with your husband - WEAR WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY! I’m sure you have an amazing wardrobe and it’s a reflection of you. Definitely check out Advanced Style as he features women over 65 and it’s one of my favorites!

[@AVintageSplendor]

Yes yes yes!

[@Peaceflag47]

I am also (almost) 70 and am recently exploring wearing wilder pieces.

[@lkofie6670]

LISTEN TO YOUR HUSBAND 😀. I can confidently say that the privilege of being in your 70's (though I'm in my 40's) is outside opinion in terms of your personal style (or anything else for that matter)doesn't matter because you dress for yourself (and for your husband to admire 😉) and not to suit other people's taste. Look at it this way, do you think Iris Apfel cares about what other people think about her style? She's over 100 years old, marches to the beat of her own drum, and is a style inspiration for me and I'm for others as well. HAVE FUN... BE TRUE TO YOUR OWN STYLE. Let the onlookers admire or not get it...and it's ok, they don't have to get it because everyone's style is not going to be for everybody. C'est la vie and live and let live.

[@lkofie6670]

Honestly, my primary style goal in terms of my wardrobe began in late 2023 in preparation for 2024 and that was to simply shop my closet more and start to make use of my wardrobe. I've had so much fun and time building my massive wardrobe that has accumulated over the years and still have so much to wear as it is so I have purged throughout last year and did a final purge the weekend of New Year's and now I am just being more selective and more particular with what I purchase these days. Nevertheless, my personal style has always reflected the original Dynasty, a touch of the original Dallas, dated/classic looks, looks that are influenced by the mod era of the 60's, the 70's overall, and retro looks/some over-the-top style (Contempo Casual and Urban Outfitters and Wilson's Leather vibe). So... I am truly in my element all the time and having fun.

[@haleebhoney4407]

same boat as you here

[@yvonnemurphy7487]

Lately I have been loving mixing preppy aesthetic (vintage Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers, LL Bean, Pendelton) with funky and/or girly boho or athleisure wear. Loving the contrast--argyle sweater vest with cheetah palazzo pants for example.

[@haleebhoney4407]

Okay playing catch up... hello four kiddos... BUT LOVED this video so much! I am literally in a huge PURGE phase of closet/style right now- I just took a car FULL to Goodwill this weekend. I couldn't take the clutter anymore, an avid lifelong thrifter, and style lover and the fashion amasses over the years...Felt AMAZING to thin it out...Two minutes in and I had to pause and order more black velvet hangers seeing yours, and a shoe rack my sons broke recently, and I resumed to see the BEST outfit salad in the sweatshirt with strappy sandals and plaid shorts- a very Annette look- your legs! An acquaintance recently told me she was completely obsessed with the OG Dynasty and while I knew the references I really didn't KNOW as I was too young to see it then, so I am actually watching series now. I don't know Salt Burn- I have heard the name but am working through Dynasty now hahaha. ANYWAY As for MY style aesthetic for 2024...to stay true to MYSELF and what I have learned WORKS for my body and makes ME happy, never followed trends too closely... And to actually let GO of more into the universe...I have been good about only bringing IN things I will truly wear and love, but I have more to shed... I would also love to save for a designer vintage handbag for myself someday... that may bleed into 2034 if we're being honest hahhah... Loved the video! And those Missoni sweats!

[@tylersatterley3219]

How could you miss the chance to coin it Diana-sty?!

[@solita3754]

Color, patterns and textures are my jam. Great video. Definitely appreciate your style. 🥂

[@jessiekidwell670]

Literally Princess Diana’s style was insane. Also I about died with the vintage Nebraska with the plaid dressy shorts and heels! Also the pockets skirtttt

[@nancyann3335]

I thought the Nebraska sweatshirt looked great on you! It was a fun piece! What changed your mind?

[@shereeralph3802]

Regatta clothing was founded in 1977. It’s a British brand aimed at quality clothing. We have it in Australia in our top department stores, like Myers. WHY didn’t you get the Nebraska sweater???

[@kathrynarnold821]

the Missoni sweat pants are awesome!

[@paulaj.howard9104]

YOu are fabulous!!! I love that you are wearing my hometown on your shirt this episode!!! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing style:)

[@sophieschurink8252]

Yeah you look fantastic at age 42! And I love that you just said it aloud! I have a pinterest board called 'fashion styling' and from this year on I style myself according to a pint I like that day. This way I use my closet in a more surprising way.

[@barbc7211]

I loved all your very eclectic pieces Annette ❤!!! I really enjoy watching you in action thrifting. Your excitement is contagious !! Here’s to Vancouver and Princess Di !!!

[@lindaashmore1246]

The NEBRASKA OUT FIT LOVE ❤️ ❤❤❤

[@tastefuleclectic]

I just recently discovered crossroads, and they haven't disappointed the 3 times I've been there. I absolutely loved the beaded shawl and the red/black dress. My fashion goal this year would be to learn how to better style my more unique pieces.

[@cineph1e]

Whaaat.. you scored Missoni sweatpants for 24$? I definitely need some of that good karma. I stumbled upon Allison Bornstein's 3-Word method last year, which really helped to define my style, but I definitely want to kick things up a notch this year, generally just have more fun. So I'm in the middle of making a Pinterest board for my 2024 inspo/vibe. We'll see where it leads. Oh and I doubt you're insulting anyone with the "anti-beige sweatpants" comment. I think we're all better than beige around here😁 Happy new year!

[@sueorosz8886]

Omgod Annette! 8 minutes in and that pink lounge jacket mixed🎉 w those swinging ear beauties and the pop of red in your Vancouver tee looks so stinking good together! I ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ that look! Now that look is personal style!

[@judithjensen2457]

So so so so spot on! I am always inspired and then I shop my own collections. I did add several new bits but not many. Getting rid of the retained things that I wore 57 years ago Levi's, tall Fry's, Nordic sweater, white, beat up docs is not an option because I wore them yesterday to a class reunion meeting (55 in May).

[@judithjensen2457]

One more comment- I've hated this "old money" trend literally all my adult life. It's creepy, boring, and completely fake. And, the same goes for the copycats- Style is not legislated, weaponized, or mandated by the "age" of someone's money.

[@hollymeyers7796]

Omg I love everything

[@genadavidson2532]

look I like classic pieces..... but I love colour.... so the old money est is not my colour pallet. also I love playing dress up with beaded jackets, coloured shoes...... love the vid

[@sandielindemeyer9341]

But…it all looks so darling on you! You cannot pick a wrong piece. Everything you brought home was perfect! Love the madras/tartan plaid, never goes out.

[@Peaceflag47]

Me too. Loved the plaid shiny shorts.

[@evelinenauta7519]

Hi Annette, I just recently discovered you & your channel and I’m loving it! 🥰 My goals for 2024 are definitely to eliminate bland basics and to add more colour and especially patterns to my wardrobe. And to experiment and ‘not match’. I’ve already started purging my closet, enjoy thrifting and am excited to start developing my own unique style. Thanks for the inspiration! ✨

[@lkofie6670]

Indeed... I'm trying to do less/obvious "matchy-matchy" and more "different but works"/coordinates with the whole look.

[@haydeepasten6807]

Que lindo todo!!😊😊❤

[@StephanieDavidson-d3p]

Outfit salad ❤️❤️❤️

[@ronnauganderson4470]

Love your fun and personal styling!

[@SharonGrant-rr7ni]

Flaunt is such a excellent word.

[@gailwilliams5278]

When I ‘purge’ my closet, I stick to current season items. A gauzy top is not going appeal to me when it’s 5 degrees out, even if I wear it frequently in the summer. Likewise, a fisherman sweater would be horrible to contemplate in July, even if it’s a wintertime staple.

[@raquelburt9628]

Can we please have your mom make an appearance soon

[@dawnu132]

The blue 19603 skirt you sold is a 'hipster' skirt. It sits on your hips, not your waist.

[@melindaferreira9879]

Im sorr of laughing/ crying.. while you're talking about boring beige and black.. and all the color.. i literally like yesterday afternoon went through my closet and grabbed every colorful itsm iny closet and donated to goodwill... I literally have only beige, white and black, navy , greys left.. 😢... I operate on two speeds unfortunately.. all or nothing... I just buried my mom three weeks ago and i want my outside to mirror my inside.. color feels like a slap in the face to me right now.. but i still like color and playing dress up.. some day in the future.. 🙏🕊️

[@zohrehkabirnia1877]

you are adorable.❤❤❤

[@tempestgrey4629]

Was it hard getting that sweatshirt over your head?

[@reztylem7837]

I think wearing contrast style is not a trend just like “wearing the wrong shoe”. We’ve been wearing the wrong shoe for a long time. Pairing our doc martens with dresses. Hello Winona Ryder in Reality bites or Claire Daines in My so Called Life.

[@Hazel007]

🔥❤🔥

[@sandyfisbeck9488]

Thank you for pushing back on "old money" ugh!

[@thejenniewalkerarchive]

Did somebody say Moschino! :)

[@rubychancey1515]

Girl, we enjoy your channel. Could you please give us more to see and less to hear. ❤. Thanks. Less talkig PLEASE.
