How To Create Your Dream Wardrobe | Over 50 Style

[@dijanawarrender8627]

From experience I can say that everything you said in your introduction is true. Changing my wardrobe did actually change my life. I am so much more confident now than I was 3 years ago when i began my style journey, I never have the ‘nothing to wear’ scenario because everything goes together and is my personal style and I feel 100% happier about myself. Thank you for making this video and sharing your knowledge with us.

[@Mariafsadler]

Thanks for sharing!! I’m so pleased you’re enjoying your wardrobe 😀

[@willowgirl2635]

Looking forward to this series. Love the colour combination on the rack.

[@Mariafsadler]

Thanks so much!

[@kathleenbalfour9867]

Been following you for many years, good to see you back.

[@Mariafsadler]

Thank you Kathleen nice to hear from you 😘

[@georgina3358]

Great introductory video, Maria! I can't wait for the next one in this series

[@Mariafsadler]

Yay! Thank you! 😊

[@pennyphebey8617]

Can you show me how to wear my robell trousers - thanks

[@susankey9598]

Wow Marie, thank you for a wonderful video, I didn’t want it to end, it’s so interesting listening to you talk. You looked fabulous too by the way! I love your long cardigan 👏💋 I can’t wait for your next video now xxxx

[@ina7747]

This introduction video makes so much sense! I'm in the process of changing my wardrobe gradually now that my hair has gone entirely grey and I don't work anymore. Your tips are always so helpfull! I'm looking forward to the next video on the series. 😀

[@deenab6476]

Thank you Maria, Friday morning is better after seeing you❤ you make so much sense …..welcome back ❤

[@Mariafsadler]

You are so welcome thank you 😊

[@freddiestark1779]

Excellent intro Maria. Even though I am retired, even my casual outfits will have planning. I learned that from you. I am looking forward to this particular plan as I have to redo my spring/ summer wardrobe. Even if you are retired, there are events (volunteer, garden, exercising, church, etc.) Getting up and dressing in our favorites is such a blessing. Thank you.

[@Mariafsadler]

Thank you Freddie I so agree. And I will cover how to take pieces from casual at home to a little smarter for other events 👍

[@paulaburr8797]

This is really helpful stuff! I would welcome ideas for changing my wardrobe to suit being recently retired.

[@maxine2261]

So glad to see you resume your videos, and that you are feeling better. You asked for suggestions, so here goes. I live in Los Angeles, currently, am retired, and unless there is a special occasion, I dress in a very, very casual manner, i.e. leggings, t-shirts, some kind of coverup, and athletic shoes. I am also in the process of downsizing. My youngest son is heading off to college in the fall. All this said, it would be helpful to me to learn more about being stylish with a casual wardrobe. Your outfits are magnificent, and I see them as "going out to town, special occasion pieces". Maybe I'm wrong? My dilemma is what I put on when my going 'out' is limited to going to the grocery store, the farmers market, maybe a casual restaurant with my husband, etc.. My current choices leave me feeling down about how I look. The other area is that business wardrobe I collected, e.g. those beautiful, quality suits and blazers and knits that are 20-30 years old that still fit, but don't fit my lifestyle and are taking space in my closet. Thanks again. I'll be watching.

[@Mariafsadler]

Thank you. I will make sure I include lots of ideas for casual outfits too. 👍

[@maxine2261]

@@Mariafsadler Thank you. So glad to hear you are feeling better.

[@CC-mf3wh]

Love the green and new video. Thank you

[@Mariafsadler]

Thank you too!

[@kat_thefruitbat]

Really love and appreciate you + your videos, and I’m looking forward to the rest of this series!! ❤😊

[@Mariafsadler]

Thank you so much 😊

[@karenallen8476]

I can't wait! Glad to see you so enthusiasic x

[@Mariafsadler]

Thank you 😊

[@ManitoulinGirl]

I am very excited about this series. I can relate with your first client who has nearly nothing in her wardrobe. I am retired, but am tired of looking dowdy. I have always found your videos inspiring and I know I will learn a lot from this series. Thank you!

[@Mariafsadler]

Thank you. You are in a great position because you can start from scratch and really create your perfect wardrobe without having to do a lot of clearing out 😀

[@christinemartin9449]

This sounds so good. I can't wait for the series to start. Thank you.

[@Mariafsadler]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@marinarehren7076]

Just what I need! Due weight fluctuation I have got too much in my wardrobe. I will follow your next videos and hopefully whittle it down.

[@Mariafsadler]

You're so welcome! And there will be lots more advice coming x

[@deirdrebermingham9059]

18:12 Great to see you back. I really enjoy your videos and am looking forward to this series. I feel that I am in a bit of a style rut!!!

[@AlexLouiseWest]

I love what you are saying in these videos, especially regarding the client who used nature-based images. I find those inspiring too. I have come up from rock bottom when a lot of my clothing was actually torn or ruined, and I didn't have the things I needed. I'm also pretty confident with colour. But fingers crossed, this might be the year when I can have some help with the rest of it, which feels a bit overwhelming.

[@Mariafsadler]

Thank you I hope I can help and if you need more personalised help do get in touch x

[@smiddleman2531]

I would love it if you could cover how to rid your wardrobe of "sentimental" pieces you know you will never wear again (...or ever fit into again!) Thank you for your inspiring ideas.🌺

[@contentauys4749]

Thanks Maria, I am looking forward to the series. I love the colors displayed in your video, green and blue (my favorites!) My challenge is to find dresses that looks good on me (rectangle body shape), I am trying on a lot of dresses until I find the silhouette I love (haven't found it yet). May I add you are looking good these days! Makes me want to start afresh in the second quarter of this year also!

[@Mariafsadler]

Thank you. I will be talking about shapes in the series 👍

[@darlene9045]

new watcher...loved your first video..looking forward to more .i retired last may...i have worn a company uniform for so long. i dont know what to really have for a retiree wardrobe...all i know is i am a casual waer person..denim jeans tshirts sweaters leggings and shorts and tank tops..

[@Mariafsadler]

Welcome aboard! I hope you enjoy the series 😀

[@sweetdistin]

This is the most helpful video I've seen on making a wardrobe that works for individuals, it made SO much sense! Thank you! Can't wait for the rest of the series 😊

[@Mariafsadler]

I'm so glad! Thank you 😊

[@pennyditchfield9944]

Same here!

[@vickihollanders9566]

Oh Maria this is such a great introductory video. I know all that goes into looking your best involves a little soul searching and that is exactly what I feel you are trying to pull out of me. I am looking forward to the subsequent videos down this path. Thank you

[@Mariafsadler]

Glad it was helpful! I hope you enjoy the series 😊

[@gillianhill3196]

Excellent video and good to see you back. My wardrobe is chaotic. Full of tops, far too many, but nothing that I really feel confident in. Being an apple shape means constantly trying to hide by stomach. Your advice is always spot on.

[@Mariafsadler]

Thank you Gillian. I will be addressing body shapes in an upcoming video. It sounds like you also need to create more balance between pieces. Could you find one or two pairs of neutral trousers that would work with a lot of the tops? 😀

[@gillianhill3196]

The problem for me is very slim arms and legs and huge waist, so trousers tend to flap around at the tops of my legs. It's not a good look. I wear maxi dresses in the Summer which look okay on me as I'm a reasonable height at 5' 6".

[@paulinecrispin121]

Fully agree with having one 'head' inches right place. The main problem with my wardrobe is the a few years ago I lost weight and bought clothes when I was at my slimmest....and guess what much of is it too tight for me now 😢. Looking forward to other videos 😊.

[@Mariafsadler]

That’s so frustrating and I can emphasise! I will talk about having pieces that work if your weight fluctuates 😀

[@paulinecrispin121]

Many thanks 😊

[@suzannahkelly5105]

Great video - really enjoyed it ! 🙂

[@Mariafsadler]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@michellehoney7587]

Great to see you back Maria. I'm really looking forward to the new series.

[@Mariafsadler]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@arelidelong1188]

I'm excited about this series Maria, thank you much for your beautiful videos and all the wisdom you share with us! 🌹🌸🏵

[@Mariafsadler]

I'm so glad! Thank you 😊

[@bevj]

My weight fluctuates quite a bit. This year already I’ve gone from a size 14 to 12 and back to 14 again. Any tips on how to have outfits for both sizes without having an overflowing wardrobe would be appreciated! Thanks

[@Mariafsadler]

You are not alone in this I’m sure so I will include some tips 👍

[@melaniebonner2370]

So pleased to have you back. 😊 Some excellent advise. I love colour but have gradually realised what colours I like and suit me best so am better at choosing new pieces!

[@deborahharding135]

Great to see you again Maria, looking forward to the new series. I would include budget & lifestyle in the criteria you give for putting a wardrobe together.😊

[@Mariafsadler]

Will do!

[@wendythomson8382]

I’m so excited about this series Maria! I can’t wait! Xx

[@Mariafsadler]

Hope you like it!

[@leoniestephens7070]

Hello . So good to see you again. It’s so easy to get into a muddle with clothes. I am quite good at doing a cull but still need to ditch more . I have trouble finding clothes to fit . Narrow shoulders and a bit of an apple shape makes it really hard. Looking forward to your next video. Reagards L🌺🌺

[@Mariafsadler]

Thank you I think the shape video will be helpful for you 👍

[@tinalt5831]

New watcher, I love your video ❤

[@Mariafsadler]

Thank you and welcome 😊

I love your content! Well done!

[@Mariafsadler]

Thank you so much!

[@IsabellaBlue]

You look fantastic, I love the cardigan! The red lipstick and nails are like an accent color. Have you lost weight? So wonderful to have you back ❤ Thanks for sharing your knowledge again!

[@Mariafsadler]

Thank you 😊

[@valeriauk8158]

Hi Maria. Looking forward to your new series. What do you think of the concept of hero pieces? Those that link to everything and inspire your colour schemes.

[@Mariafsadler]

I think it’s a great concept and something I talk about in my stylish at 50 blueprint so will definitely mention it in this series 👍

[@juliawallis5416]

Hi Maria, looking forward to this series….now my problem is I am a bit of a dress freak so other than blazers or jean jackets not much matches, should I try and stop and now build up my separates? 🌸🌹🐝

[@Mariafsadler]

I think that the videos on personal style, accessories and colour will be really useful for you because it’s about wearing what you love so if dresses are more your thing you don’t have to have separates but it’s about making sure you have colours and accessories that make your wardrobe cohesive as well. 😀

[@dagnolia6004]

brilliant

[@Mariafsadler]

😊

[@susandowning5250]

My problem is my footwear. This has made me hate my wardrobe and now tend to wear the same pair of trousers and the same 4 tops!! I have plantar fasciitis so find it painful to wear any shoes with even the slightest heel and cannot wear sandals because I have to wear orthotics. I am an overweight apple shape. I tend to wear flat clarks shoes and trainers.

[@Mariafsadler]

I’m sorry to hear that Susan and I can empathise having had that condition a couple of times 🙁 maybe you could add some new pretty tops that draw the eye upwards and perhaps do a Google search for shoe alternatives x
