How to Prioritize Your Spring Fashion Purchases

[@cathylehman7538]

I thrift the majority of my high end pieces. Since I am not in a rush to have a particular item, I can take my time and wait for the right pieces to come to market.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

That's great!😊

[@nikipoulikakos4319]

I typically don’t thrift but last time I donated I went in and took a look at the blazers. I was looking for a black one to buy and I ended up buying 2 at goodwill, one for $6 and and a navy blue one for half of that because the color tag was half off. Safe to say I saved myself a lot of money and both pieces looked like new.

[@thecatsmeow50]

Same. Went in the store and found wool blend plaid blazer Talbots $6

[@ca6177]

I'm taking your advice about thrifted blazers! I need a few! Goodness knows, they are very expensive!

[@nikiifrank8337]

I love seeing the quality clothing you wear, so that even if it is past my price point, I still know what to look and aim for! Thank you for not only your clothing advice but your devotionals especially!

[@jeanettesmith765]

Yes. I loved the blue blazer but could not afford the $750 price since I am a single retired teacher on a tight budget.

[@DLBard-bv2nd]

Smart shoppers can find great pieces at the resale shops that carry higher quality traditional fashion. A dark blazer of quality in wool, linen or cotton can be found for a fraction of the cost. Many items have tags still attached & have never been worn. Yes it takes patients to seek these great finds. I no longer shop retail. My closet is full of Talbot, Ralph Lauren, Ann Taylor and more. 💖

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Great to hear. Thanks so much for sharing. 🥰

[@lineazielsdorf1358]

Great job on your shopping skills!

Love your videos I just recently found you and I was an instant fan. Thanks for all the help!

[@rosarioguerrero458]

I live in Mexico, so many of the clothes you share I can’t get here. Did you link the gray shirt ? Tks

[@edennis8578]

My shopping strategy depends on my time to money ratio. When I have more time than money, I shop resale and clearance sales. If I have more money than time, I buy what I want in the easiest way possible. It all depends on the circumstances.

[@marieschmidt9416]

I love my jeans and I'm over 60. I was once told by a woman 20 years ago that I was to old to wear them!, I was stunned. Needless to say I ignored her advise 😂😅

[@maryjothompson4578]

69 and jeans still look appropriate...

[@marycarolgarrison9270]

Now that I’m retired I wear jeans on most days because they’re comfortable. Jeans and comfy tennis shoes are my go to outfits. Thank you for the fashion advice, but most of the suggestions are far overpriced for me.

I didn't know jeans had an expiration date. Lol. I love jeans.

​@@marycarolgarrison9270Why are you talking to the video maker in a reply to someone else's comment?

[@rosierosie62]

The tips are ever so useful, and the videos often push me into action for a more elevated style, because as I lead a very active, sporty life style, I tend to buy/wear mainly casual pieces. Even my husband has noticed...... result lol.

[@Anna-sb9oj]

I would like to see a video showing age appropriate ideas on how to stay feminine over 50 in the way we look, dress and act. I’ve noticed a lot of couples tend to start looking alike (and not in a good way)in my age group and this gradually progresses as they age. They both have the really short hair etc. I’m not saying that all women should keep their hair longer to stay feminine but I do think it could help, if it looks good on you. I don’t want to lose my femininity. Great content Kay! Always love seeing your fashion videos.

[@kchez110]

Husband and I both over 60, married >35 years. We are both lazy in clothes but I would like looks for the rare date night. Also not willing to give up longish hair. Waviness is much easier to manage.

[@carolscheese]

I so enjoy your blog. Would you consider a video or blog on adapting the latest spring styles for the different body types? Oval-shaped gal here, and I just came across the 2019 fall blog you did for an "oval friend." It would be great to see something similar for the upcoming 2024 warmer weather.

[@gracemitchell698]

Kay I enjoyed that dance at the end, had a smile, thanks for that, cheered me up.

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Wonderful! That was the goal. 😉

[@nataliek3717]

Would you consider doing a article or video on changing over to Spring make-up colors?!

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Yes, I can work on that. Thanks for the suggestion. 🥰

[@bonnieabrams8737]

Great outfits today. You asked us if we don't like jeans to say why. Ha! I've never liked the look and feel of denim. I've tried on many different ones over the years only because I thought I should have a pair because "everybody was doing it". Jeans to me mean very casual, playtime or scrubbing the kitchen floor. I worked at the university in Madison WI and it always made me chuckle as I rode the bus to work. Students who always said they wanted to be recognized as individuals all dressed the same. You could look down the aisle and not distinguish one from the other. It was jeans, tee shirts and short winter coats. I always appreciate your including other styles of pants. I lean toward more classic and comfortable styles. Thanks Kay.

[@janismcbroom6821]

Thank you for another wonderful video. I have trouble prioritizing and making decisions about what to invest in for the long haul and not spend money on things that will look dated in a year or two. You give great advice!

[@janismcbroom6821]

Also, I personally think that Kay does an excellent job of featuring clothes at a variety of price points. Kay regularly recommends a more economical option. I also love the way Kay makes her readers aware of sales at MANY stores.

[@mariaburlington4440]

Love all the blazer looks. As a blazer gal, I find adding a blazer just elevates an outfit to a more polished look.

[@edennis8578]

I agree. There's nothing like a good blazer to give polish to a look.

Great video, Kay! Love your suggestion to prioritize the spending! There's no way the average woman can invest a lot in every piece of clothing.

You look like you're having so much fun. So free and joyful! The Lord and Holy Spirit can do that for us, can't He! ❤

That's something I don't understand. Retailers like Talbots whose main customer base is over 40 don't seem to design for them. Cap sleeves, very short sleeves, very few longer length tops, etc. I want elbow-length sleeves, and I want tops that hit at the leg-hip break.

[@KC-mw3rp]

Thank you. I agree that it’d be better for me to own one good, solid pair of jeans than 2 or 3 of jeans that are not at the same quality level. Even wearing the same pair three days in a row, the quality will maintain as will the style. With my legs, I can visibly see the quality of denim. However, I’m not much of a variety girl, so to each their own! God bless.

I came across your Calla shoes video and am hoping I’ve finally found a shoe that will work. Wide toe box and cushioned support equals comfort for me.

😊Love denim, but haven't worn jeans👖 since the 90s. Went a bit wild over 'em that decade😔. Don't miss 'em now. Prefer more of a soft, flowy trouser. Or, even a simple cargo style pant. I can 💯% tolerate a lightweight cotton utility fabric in our Mediterranean-Desert 🏜 climate better. Plus, fabrics w/moisture wicking properties are my saving grace. Dislike the weighty structure of jeans (or chinos)〰️particularly when the 🌡mercury rises🥵. No denim jacket or skirts either. The latter garment is seared in my psyche as "church girl." 😘Nothing against ⛪️ attire, but I can't seem to get that deadly dated association outta my head😖. 😎Once it heats up here, I happily live in skirts for the majority of the time.
