How to Take Your Style From Frumpy to Fabulous in 5 Easy Steps

[@barbaradieckmann9020]

I’ve not cleaned out my closet for the last 4 years and have been wearing the same clothes during covid and after. With your style influence, I have cleaned out most of my summer clothes and with that noticing that I hid my body in oversized clothes. I took them all to the thrift stores. I feel so naked on the inside but free. Now it’s time to shop for the capsule wardrobe and some pop…..

[@BethDjalali]

You will be feeling fabulous in no time!

[@barbiec4312]

How exciting!

[@nikkil764]

I have no problem dressing in cooler weather, because I love blazers and classic layers. But the hot, humid weather here in Louisiana is more challenging. And please don’t just say linen, it quickly looks like a limp dishrag in our 90% humidity. I very much love the quiet luxury look but so much of it is for cooler weather. Suggestions? I have a pear shape body so shift dresses are out.

[@BethDjalali]

A wrap dress or A-line skirt in neutrals if you like quiet luxury.

[@dons9228]

I’ve been lookin for a longer Khaki a-line skirt for years. Any suggestions!

[@elizabethaicken492]

Could you please go back over what a round figured person should wear thank you!

[@pattyg2521]

Great video, but I watched it all, and did not see info on my body type - the Inverted Triangle. What is the time marker for it?

[@BethDjalali]

I just briefly mentioned that body type.

[@cyndi29710]

You completely skipped over what flatters the inverted triangle

[@carmensandiego2395]

You look amazingly classy and stylish...don't change! ❤

[@BethDjalali]

Oh thank you!

Hello Beth. I'm watching you from Greece and I like your Channel very much.Thank you for your tips I am 55🙂🌷🌹

[@BethDjalali]

Hello Greece!

[@JackieStruve]

Ha! Ha! I am lucky if I can find something that fits and that I can afford. Hence I am now altering old clothes to cover my expanding, hypothyroid body!

[@musicmom614]

I have watched you for many years and have invested in quality item, specifically blazers. I have a couple J Crew schoolboy blazers that I don't think are on trend. Should these be an item I should purge or just store away because it usually comes back around again?

[@BethDjalali]

I lean into storing them and see if they come back in style. You can always recycle them at a future point if they don't.

[@titabelski7731]

Wow, I like your fabulous classy style. I'm inspired to change my wardrobe.. Thanks for adding to my knowledge. Will definitely consider this and share your lovely vid. God bless. 😍

[@stepher6338]

Hi Beth , I found your channel a few years ago. I subscribed around that time. This spring I turned 60. I still haven’t achieved the classic look I wish to attain. With your guidance I sure have come quite a way toward it. I don’t expect to ever reach your level of style however I do feel more confident every time I make a wardrobe choice using the lessons I’ve learned from you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. I look forward to your future videos and advice.

[@patb8138]

Hi Beth-your approach to style is to be emulated. You have impeccable taste and such confidence. Whenever I watch your videos I feel more confident about wearing shorts, bathing suits and such. So thank you for all that you share with us ladies out there. You’re really an inspiration!!!!

[@BethDjalali]

Confidence is the only metric you need! Thanks for stopping by!

Always classy and stylish! I will be retiring from teaching next year and am already looking at changing my wardrobe a bit. I work in kindergarten and my clothes have to give me some flexibility to sit on the floor or at a desk, to be outside or help at lunch. I’ve intentionally tried to match my style while not breaking the bank on my day to day clothing. What has happened is my weekend wardrobe doesn’t always reflect my full style. I would love to see something on making a translation like this.

[@BethDjalali]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@houston5568]

I agree; I too retired from the educational system a few years ago; what I found is that went from dress pants to blue jeans; pull over blouses; I do during the week have luncheon with friends where can I dress up but still informally; I gave away most of my dresses ; kept a few classic pieces for weddings and funerals; at this time I really don't want to invest big bucks for clothing; could you do a video for classic clothing that doesn't break the bank.

[@waaf25]

I recently discovered your channel and so far I am enjoying your videos. However, as a woman with a 'pear shaped' body', I disagree with your take on skinny jeans and not wearing a belt. I don't mind showing off my shape when I need to but does it in a way that is classy and comfortable. In our culture, this shape is admirable and I have come to love what I have as an individual who as a younger person, hated my look because of what we were shown on mainstream American television. I will continue to look at your presentations as you do show some beautiful content.

[@BethDjalali]

Style is always about personal preference and what you feel confident wearing. If you love skinny jeans or wearing a belt then I say go for it! When I talk about body types these are just general recommendations.

[@MsJazzy49]

Thanks for sharing. I’m more of an apple shape and I do like to wear high waist pants and skirts. I’ve been told I have nice legs so I try to wear dresses or skirts so I can show my legs and the high waisted items help me to hide my midsection.❤

This is so good. As I’m approaching maturity, I’m having to reevaluate my wardrobe. I would love to know where to shop for good quality clothing. I’ve spent top dollar only to be disappointed and delighted by a less expensive version.

Maybe Chico's, Coldwater Creek (on-line only) and Nordstrom (on sale) or Nordstrom Rack.

[@cherylwelch2627]

Just dress in whatever makes you feel good. A fortune has been made selling women on fears, fears of what people think, of what they say, you need this product, or this product. Trust me, no one thinks about you as much as you do . We've wasted so much effort and money based on fear

[@BethDjalali]

Style has nothing to do with fear. It’s simply putting out best foot forward each day and looking and feeling our best.

[@TheDriftwoodlover]

Good tips. Thanks for the link to the style quiz.

[@BethDjalali]

[@gloglos100]

I like preppy too! Hence we loved jcrew.

[@deborahgraham4336]

The shape and fruit way of defining your shape is not the best way to define what types of clothing will look best on someone. So many content creators use these simple ways of defining a woman's shape when there are other better ways - Kibbe, Kitchener, Style Roots, etc. Other than that ... I am enjoying this channel.

[@BethDjalali]

There are many, many ways of slicing and dicing our body shape. The fruit system is an older version but easy to visualize and apply.Thanks for stopping by!

[@tplayspiano]

I enjoy your videos and hope you continue making them despite negative comments from some likely small portion of your audience. You mentioned taking inspiration from fashion, magazines. I’ve canceled all my subscriptions because they can’t stay out of politics. Channels like yours have replaced them. Thank you.
