Love the video and new hairstyle! Goelia’s designs are gorgeous but even with the new sizing, they are not inclusive enough. Do you have a similar recommendation for the plus gals? Thank you!

[@mikki3961]

As always, great advice Anna. To a monochrome look I tend to pop it with a colorful bag. Since red is "hot" right now a red or burgundy bag cannot go wrong! Or orange...orange looks fabulous with an all white or cream outfit. Mwah.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

Most of my clothing items are simple and classic, so I love adding accessories. I love all categories of them, jewelry, handbags, belts, and especially, silk scarves. I also always very up to date footwear, out of style or “granola” (orthopedic or hippie styles) make an outfit look ancient. I’m always amazed at how many truly ugly shoes are still offered for sale in the name of “comfort”. All my shoes have to be comfortable, that’s essential, but current and stylish, too. There’s no need to wear clodhoppers, even with foot problems, I certainly have my share of those, too.

[@ANNAREID29]

Agreed! It takes a little extra time to find the cute and comfy shoes but they are out there! ❤️

[@luluandmeow]

I totally agree, a lot of "comfort" shoes are just poorly designed, there's no need for them to look frumpy. I invested in Hobbs Imogen boots for the past two years, so comfortable and stylish and I have wide feet with bunions, bought more in the sale in different colours, I hope they will last for a few years. Other comfortable suede boots I bought last year are from Dune, , they had a great sale on and (surprise!) Carvela, more comfortable than flats, and I hadn't worn heels for years. I'm petite so I love the extra height.

[@annelim1784]

That hairstyle looks great on you☺️

[@ANNAREID29]

Thank you, Anne! ❤️❤️

[@craftyourwaytopeace]

I'm a Florida lady too & we dress so similar! Your taste is sooooo good! ❤ Great video! P.S. Allow me please to give a tip! They sell velcro dots. I will use them to make my belt stay in place. I hope that makes sense. It'll keep your belt from sticking out or having to do the knot thing. Hope this helps❤

[@ANNAREID29]

I haven’t seen those! I normally use double sided tape but I like the idea of Velcro! ❤️❤️

[@craftyourwaytopeace]

@ANNAREID29 it works great & doesn't damage your belts. I usually get the round ones from dollar tree in the crafting section.

[@marilynrybak9154]

I dislike my belt sticking out- in fact, I recently loss some weight and several belts now stick out like that, so I can’t wear them unless I do something to keep the excess part of the belt from “sticking out.” I have found a same color safety pen works well (sort of as a belt loop to hold the belt together tightly). Thanks for your tip- the Velcro dots seem like that’s a better option.

Iris Apfel died a few weeks ago. She was in Palm Beach. She was 102-1/2

[@ANNAREID29]

Yes so sad! But she lived a good life!

[@karentracy9657]

And she never ever decluttered a single thing.

[@adrianacarrillo1996]

I loved this video. Our timeless outfits don’t have to all look the same! ❤️

[@ANNAREID29]

Exactly! ❤️❤️❤️

[@karolesherlock127]

Love this video. Fun, energetic and stylish - as always. About color, the Tibi color wheel is an excellent tool for deciding color combinations. It helps explain the esthetic balance of nature and why we are drawn to certain color combinations.

[@emiliaescobar7652]

Love all the outfits on you, TY for this great video!

[@magdlynstrouble2036]

The Goelia stuff looks great. My word, that silk trench coat is everything! Perfection!

[@ANNAREID29]

Love that one! ❤️❤️

[@k.h2936]

Hello Anna: Thank you for the intro to Goelia. Love the looks on you. I ordered quite a few items to try but unfortunately they didn't work on my body. Still think they are beautiful clothes. My real problem is I just found out they have only a 15 day return window. I finally put my order back in the packages to return at 17 days ( assumed it was a 30 day return at the least). Now I am stuck with about $200 of clothes I can't wear : ( Please let your audience know of this short return window. Love all you videos : )

[@rosemarieburns7572]

I'm all about polka dots this season!! So fun!! Chanelling my inner Julia Roberts❤!

[@ANNAREID29]

Yes! That dress is forever burned in my brain love it!

[@lauriejohnson-daley3753]

In my mind, the best polka dot one EVER!!!

[@sandyfisbeck9488]

I think a hit of color with polkadot skirt would be nice How about red?

[@ANNAREID29]

Red would be gorgeous!

Thank you!! ❤️❤️

[@dellacalfee]

Your eyes look so huge and gorgeous. I realized it’s your hairstyle. Nice work and a great fashion video. I particularly loved that beige vest you wore over white trousers. It fit you so well and pulled everything together so elegantly. I simply must find a dupe.

[@ANNAREID29]

Thank you! That vest is from Goelia it’s linked in the description! ❤️❤️

I love my Goelia blue jacket (the one you're wearing). I get a lot of compliments.

[@magdlynstrouble2036]

I got a blue one from Loft last year and it's one of my favorites, just over a white cotton tank top and dark or light wash jeans! 💙

[@ANNAREID29]

Love it!! I do feel like it’s an “always gets compliments “ piece! 😃❤️

[@majbrittkjaer6134]

Great video, looking great ! The pants/jeans you wore with the red top, where are they from? Doesnt look like the jeans linked in the description and they make you look amazing! - And you got your bag in N.Y. - Yah ! 😅

[@luluandmeow]

Your hair looks gorgeous and you always look young and amazing in double denim. I call my style modern classic or modern chic, I'm 58 and I don't think I'll ever wear a ladylike outfit from top to bottom, it would make me look so old! I always add a modern twist, for example pussybow blouse with jeans, formal jacket with a Gucci vintage Mickey Mouse necktie (my only designer item and a keeper). Scarves (e.g. Hermes style) can look way too formal and old so I avoid them. I invest in great footwear that is comfortable (I have wide feet) and elegant but also current. Lots of structured handbags promoted by influencers look so boring and old, no thanks! I have structured handbags that look modern and timeless, usually in suede. I stay slim (no middle age spread around my tummy) as weight is very ageing, and I keep my hair longish, no ageing short cuts for me. I don't wear elasticated waists as they make you way too comfortable and encourage overeating. I'll wear (double) denim until I'm dead! I have a collection of amazing denim shirts/skirts/skirt dresses/jackets/tote bags and jeans. Thank you for your videos love Anna, best wishes from a very cold London x

[@catherineochia9996]

Some women, look fresher and more youthful with short hairstyles. It makes them look perkier and gives the face a much needed lift. Structured bags are not always boring and dated looking, and what suits one person may not suit another.

[@ANNAREID29]

Love this! I agree - if I wear “ladylike” top to toe I feel like… not me 😃❤️

[@Noname-pc7pu]

I think you look very nice in the red top and black pants.. white pants stripe top.. white top black pants.. black vest white pants.. black tank cream pants.. all black.. cream or taupe vest white pants.. light blue pants black top.. white top cream skirt.... Also I agree with your tip about same color doesn't always have to match "exactly" that outfits can look better with different shades variations of same color and textures.... Great video thanks 🙂

[@ANNAREID29]

Glad you liked this one! ❤️❤️❤️

[@moniquegonzales9321]

I ordered a new wardrobe from MOTF and feel so classy. Their clothes are well made and so many different color options to choose from.

[@theresaehrichs9149]

Wow! The studded ballet flats! Sneaking them in here 😂there should be a whole video around them!

[@ANNAREID29]

Thank you for noticing! I have to say I agree… I am in ❤️❤️! Lol

[@giedrebey5444]

Great points, Anna. For the last few years, I was all over the place, meaning in all kind of styles, but what it does, it’s not good for cost per wear. Like right now, I am selling so many Chanel outfits, mainly dresses, that I worn only a few times, because with certain types like themes, Greece, etc… it’s just too memorable, and especially the ones more form fitting, so that’s not good.i am kind of realizing I want more classic, and those stays. I have some 7-8 years, and still wear time to time. So mainly I am going back to classic but more edgy, like Old Celine Phoebe Philo, and of course her new brand. Those things are more unique, and can be worn forever. I still will keep some color ones, like red , blue, and maybe one very muted pink, the rest I am getting rid of, and replacing with classic but edgy fashion forward . Yes to accessories, it makes such a huge difference to the outfits.. Have a blessed day🙏❤️

[@ANNAREID29]

Love this! I feel like our style is always evolving. Sounds like you’re really honing in on what works for you! ❤️❤️

[@laura6796]

Love your classy style & tips! Suggestion to make buying items easier for viewers... would be to please put #s that coordinate with each item in your description so users could find the links faster. Also more Amazon item videos would be more affordable :)

[@ANNAREID29]

Yes! I do the #s often but I ran out of time with this one 😃 ok with Amazon… I get such mixed feedback when I post anything Amazon! I’m glad to know you would like to see that thank you!

[@shambi_4]

You’re so sweet to reply with an explanation. Thank you for all you do! It isn’t easy to run a successful channel, but you’re doing it well ❤

[@MsJujubee3]

Ehhh not sure Olivia and Victoria are good fashion role models. The reason nothing looks too tight on them (as you pointed out) is because even a size 00 is baggy on their malnourished frames 😢

[@margreetdegraaf4078]

@oraliamartinez looks very classy (at plussize)

[@beemary488]

Being thin does not mean you’re malnourished. It means the calories you intake are balanced with the calories you use.

[@ANNAREID29]

I find it difficult to pinpoint celebrities that most everyone has heard of that consistently dress in a way that shows their own personal style. But I would love to hear suggestions! ❤️

[@luluandmeow]

Thin-shaming is as unpleasant and uncalled-for fat-shaming and usually based on jealousy. Worry about your own weight and health, not other people's

[@luluandmeow]

PS A lot of overweight people are malnourished, that's why they're always hungry, they eat junk food that is very high in calories, addictive, but doesn't offer the vitamins, minerals and nutrients their body and brain need. Overweight people are not to blame because there's so much bad /false information around food, and from doctors/health professionals too. However most of us now know that processed food is unhealthy and addicting, so we need to outsmart the processed food industry by eating wholefoods. I would recommend the Physicians Committee's non-profit YT channel for great advice. Carrying excess weight is not just a vanity issue, it is not healthy. I am a nutritionist and weight loss coach who has successfully overcome years of yo-yo dieting and bingeing and being overweight by eating wholefoods. I have achieved and maintained my very slim frame for years without cravings or even much exercise and I'm way way more healthy than when I was overweight. I feel amazing, look good in clothes and all blood tests, etc. are perfect. I have dropped "friends" that made comments like yours (they're still obese).

[@fulviokatmarano7692]

Thanks for the tips. Can you give me the link for the beige pants you are wearing in the video? I don't see it listed. Thanks 💕

[@catherinegardner8407]

Many people have had too much repetition with Capsule Wardrobe closets. One issue is every outfit essentially looks the same. Of course every wardrobe needs the basics in slacks, tops, and shoes to mix the color with.

[@ANNAREID29]

True! I think accessories help with this!

[@lezlier.6679]

I’m curious if the off shoulder top pops up when you move your arms? I got a navy one last summer that I was so excited about with white stripes, and it only stayed put if my arms were straight down. I couldn’t even put a fork to my mouth without the top flipping up around my neck and it just drove me crazy so I never wore it. I would tailor it if I knew if it was possible.

RIP Iris Apfel ❤ my style idol ❤

[@arlenewitt248]

Anna, have you thought about switching your beige sandals you were wearing with the black vest and beige Pokadot white skirt with black sandals similar in style with the beige pair. In that way you will bookend your outfit in black.

[@ANNAREID29]

I do that sometimes with pants! With skirts, I like nude as it’s more elongating ❤️❤️
