Tried to find your gold dangle hoops, but the link took me to regular hoops. Do you know where to find the ones you suggested and wore with the flannel ball cap? Thank you! New follower here!😃

[@cmb-w]

Retro cat eye sunnies you are wearing are different than the ones you linked. Where did you get the ones with the go,d on the earpiece where they meet the front frame?

[@caitlynmckenna2531]

I just got a haul if beautiful vintage clothes from my late great grandmother's house, and in that haul were a few fabulous trenchcoats! I decided to wear one to walk my dog as it was about to rain, and this truck pulled up beside me and asked if I was out solving mysteries!

[@emmabrooker166]

Hope you peered at them through your magnifying glass 😆

You came up in my feed and I can't overstate how helpful these tips are. I lost my son, my only child and it's hard to care what i look like but these are simple, easy, tweaks that I can manage to do. My son always liked my sense of style and I know he'd love to see me start to pick that back up. Thank you so much for being right on time! ❤

[@donnapfister6997]

Very sorry for your loss! Hugs!

[@kitewoman7054]

[@royanncaswell1206]

I’m so sorry for the loss of your son. May you be comforted by fond and loving memories. 🙏

[@user-ih2yn8xx6r]

I know for sure your beloved son is watching over you. May you find comfort. So sorry for your loss. 💕

[@feelsbyfatima]

Angieeee! I basically never comment but have been watching for yearssssss. You are my saving grace girl! I literally have been trying to find ways to upgrade my wardrobe/style without breaking the bank. I recently lost 25lbs and kinda having to begin again lol. Thank you for this, it’s super helpful!! Plz do continue with this series.

[@CarmenAlmeida90]

Congratulations about the weight loss 😊

[@feelsbyfatima]

@@CarmenAlmeida90 thank youuuu!!! I appreciate it

[@jazziered142]

I hate the partial tuck, it looks sloppy to me. Like oh I forgot the rest of it. Like you used the restroom and you forgot to tuck in the back of your shirt.

[@cathyl3526]

This is fantastic. My recommendation is necklace extenders -- you can make your necklaces fall anywhere you want

[@VickiLovell-g5f]

Great video. I've recently retired and wear more basics. Thanks for showing how to be more stylish in them. Even just running errands we want to look good. I love that we don;t have to buy anything. ♥

[@lindacox3062]

Angela your video just came up in my feed. Thanks for your great tips. You also bring back a great memory, I used to work for Braniff Airlines many years ago in Dallas.🥰

[@yensid4294]

I love monochromatic dressing. The trick (especially with certain colors like green or brown) is finding the right shade that will match. I like it for simplicity but also because I'm just under 5'4" & it gives me a longer, unbroken vertical line. Bonus if my shoes are the same color/tone. Always get compliments when I wear these outfits even tho they are often just inexpensive joggers, tees/tanks & hoodies/cardigans I got from Amazon. Easiest way to look pulled together while wearing very casual athleisure wear. I don't find jeans comfortable all the time & as I get older I want my clothes/shoes to feel like pajamas/slippers but look presentable when leaving the house 😅

[@laurenvassilico4778]

🙋‍♀️ Yes, please! I want AAALLLLLL of the hat styles to come back! Just a hat free for all 🙃

[@hennahannnah]

Love this rich hair color you’re wearing! It’s great with your skin & features. I love red lipstick too! My favorite is Rimmel Provocalips 16 Hr. Kissable Liquid Lipstick. I spend a few minutes applying it, but it stays on all day. At night I have to blast it off with q-tips and baby oil. Well-priced around $10.

[@carrileighan848]

New subscriber here! What a great video and thank you for giving styling advice for things you may already have in your closet and not just trying to sell a bunch of things we may not even need! I am thrilled to have found this channel!!!

[@patbradley8507]

You are the first shorter redhead (like me) with fresh ideas that are affordable and stylish. If it looks good on us it would most probably look good on anyone. LOVE the lipstick color, I'm definitely going to try that. Thanks.

[@Alexin1derland]

I was always taught to go with drama eyes or drama lips - but never both. I go for simple eyes, strong brows and RED lipstick. I'm told it's very elegant.

[@sellis2595]

Yes I too love a hat!! Let’s all get together and agree to wear more hats!!

[@nicholemaclean1888]

Thank you for making a realistic and attainable video about clothing!! Love your videos 😊

[@texasstardust6010]

I love this particular Video... I'm older, and I have been " Layering " my clothing for y e a r s .... it adds a nice look ,whether it is a Button Down shirt / blouse over a nice Cami or a tank top... and yea..the Mito Jacket over any type of shirt/ blouse/ top .. looks great... ( especially over a little longer Length Sweater or Tunic...one of my favourites !) Nicely done Video ,Miss Angeka ...and love the red lipstick you paired with the blue shirt ... it looks smashing. ...the right shade ,for sure. ! There is one caveat to wearing red lipstick.If it's too orange, it will yellow your teeth.It will make your teeth not look as white as they really are.... I had a friend many many years ago who was a Makeup Artist and she told me that little tip...which I don't look good in that color anyway... I look good in a mid- tone , not too bright red lipstick. ..lol)

[@Toni_Snark]

"The Ladies" are good for so many things... 😂 Great tips! New subscriber 😁

[@catemcconnell7249]

Love your Greek cross, Angela. You are so right, monotone is the way. I'm a big blonde girl and navy or black monotone lets me splash with a bag, add bracelets or a big ring. And lipstick!! I've been wearing Ruby Woo from MAC and Prosperous Red by L'Oreal. Actually, any red from L'Oreal's Reds collection works.

[@lornacartwright1341]

Just came across your video. I have to say you are the best out there. Great advice and realistic affordable clothes.

[@EdimentalGardens]

Very helpful and very well explained. Thanks!

[@mariasmith9998]

Ms. Braniff tell me something. I really like that button down shirt. You are wearing in this video. Do you have any other videos. Showing how to wear this button down shirt. To make up different outfits?

[@jojo-tl5ei]

I'm a basic babe, tryin to be a stylish lady lol. 💖 Love the little ghosties on your table.

[@roseoconnor5938]

Love all of your tips Angela....really informative. Just juggling what you already have and how to make it work....Thank-you 😊

[@lorikegley3327]

You look good in everything! ❤

[@starrysky2223]

Baseball caps can border a more juvenile look. I personally prefer a simple black or white Adidas type visor. Doesn’t trash your hair and a bit more elegant, especially in a pofile view. My fave combo is a visor with white, cream or neutral outfits.

[@sharonjohnson7474]

Great ideas for younger, tallish gals. Short people like me need medium rise pants & and t-shirts, maybe not so long. Always have to shop on site & try on. Love the monocromatic looks. ❤

[@morhy5501]

I know that is not for everyone, but for me the thing that elevates any outfit is heels. They don't have to be very high, to fully change the vibes and the posture of the preson wearing. My favourite mix is t-shirt with leggins and heels 👌🏻

[@tradnwal]

Thank you! Very helpful with not a lot if unnecessary fluff

[@kristymarie6065]

Love slip on shoes!!! Thank you Angie needed some style help

[@paulaclrk]

Wish I was a few inches taller - 5’2” and I always feel frumpish as I can’t wear heels :( Love your style ideas and looks!

those beads are perfect with your hair!

[@lauraborchardt2762]

Perfect timing! I’m just about to head your way the thrift store for some fresh new pieces

[@luvisautomatic]

Always jazzed to see a new video pop up❤

[@user-zm3ny8tw4x]

Basics can look very masculine on some women. A soft touch or two can prevent that, e.g. pretty earrings and bracelets.

[@edennis8578]

Same with short hair. It can look very masculine, but earrings and a little lip color changes the whole vibe.

[@bobbyshields4810]

I just found your channel. I am excited to watch.

[@ramonawhisenant2045]

Where is the $25 soft oatmeal sweater???

[@thatgirl3960]

Finally someone who understands!

[@elisekt1860]

Great tips but can you tell me what’s up with the half tucked in look? To me it looks messy.

[@hennahannnah]

I resisted it until recently. Now I’ve found that softly tucking in over one hip and allowing it to fall diagonally helps camouflage my short waist. It also looks a bit more modern without trying too hard to be trendy. At 70, that’s a full-time job!

[@carolefletcher]

Your eye just needs time to get used to it, that's all.

[@allegrosotto2126]

I agree, it’s a trend, still looks messy.

[@tinahendersonn897]

[@maryannecage492]

Any suggestion for hats if you have short curly hair. Thanks!

[@Byzantina1204]

How about a newsboy cap? There's room to put your hair inside as an alternative to the baseball and ponytail look. Berets can also work. A lot depends on how you wear them. A friend used to pull all her hair back into the beret and wear it more on the back of her head and looked great, whereas I prefer it to the side. Just play around with a few styles and see what suits you.

[@rosecapudo9235]

Love these videos!

[@angelastahl626]

The cat eye sunglasses you linked appear to be different from the ones you are wearing in the video. Yours are more of a blackout lens with gold detail at the sides. Can you link the exact ones you are wearing?

[@faepage5157]

Great tips on the baseball caps! I like the half tuck look but it’s not for me and my body shape.

[@julieerin115]

I've got Irish skin, so I have to wear a hat when I'm out for extended periods in the sun.

[@christinestarr8192]

Just found your channel! So helpful! Thank you!

[@kamronrhodes5151]

Nice Job Angela

[@sheana2005]

Hi, in accessories, I don't see any links for the silver necklaces worn by model. Great tips, by the way! I can't wear red lipstick, and can't find a shade that looks good on me. I've always had thin lips, but now that I'm older they are really thin. But I love the idea of dressing up basics, more for how I feel about myself than how others see me. I don't go out often, so basics are my "uniform". I've forgotten how to shop for more dressy clothes. I always wore a uniform in school, so I never really developed my sense of style.

[@leannehockman6010]

That all being said, you would look good in a burlap bag, while others just look sloppy in the same!

[@KirieLaurel]

I'm just hoping the little ghosts and skeleton in the background mean you have some Halloween content this year 🎃 😂 but I'm here for it all!

[@juliemoore6957]

I really enjoyed this video! I didn't realize that you were tall! I always thought you were a little petite girl! I'm 5'9" and I have a huge noggin too! Lol!

[@BlueBlossomsBlues]

What is wrong with belting a top over leggingsor narrowish pants? For us pear shaped girls it's one of the few flattering options... Is it tacky?

[@emp2291]

Really enjoyed this. Great ideas!

[@jackieo8693]

Gotta have the shades!

[@marcidunfee6063]

I’m glad I found your channel! Do you have any suggestions for how-to pick out a red lip color? Thank you.

[@angela.braniff]

I'm happy to have you here :) I'd recommend going into a sephora and having them test the different undertones so you can see what they look like and which you prefer. From there, you can choose the formula for lipstick that you like (matte, glossy, stain etc) ❤️

[@SpringFlowers537]

What layering piece/tops do you wear with wide leg pants? I usually wear a T-shirt, but it’s getting colder so I need something over it. What should I wear? For example I have the Athleta celestial high rise utility pant. They’re super comfy, but when I wear it with a hoodie I feel like I’m dressing like my middle school daughter and a little too frumpy😊 Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@cindypierson3793]

[@alomaalber6514]

skin tones and red, I am very pale it works for me, as my natural ton...... but it can also be more orange-y or more pink depending on YOUR skin tone. Deep tone is the key to this basic. for some a HOT PINK works. The Italian girl for example.

[@angela.braniff]

These are the pants: Navy Flowy Chiffon Pants (medium)$26.00 amzlink.to/az0BeyI8vauZN as for wrinkling, after sitting on a plane they'd likely have creases- but the material is so light that I *think* after walking a bit the creases would fall out. hope that helps!

[@allisonangier1631]

Tanya, I hope this helps. Under the video window, the title of the video shows in a large, bold typeface. Right under that, a smaller line of information about the video, such a how many views the video has earned, etc. At the end of that line, you want to click where it says “more…”. When you do that, more information about the video will expand into view, complete with another “more…” prompt. When you click that, the complete available video information will be displayed, including the links that the video author has provided for us.

I’m not a fan of a cap it’s too sporty casual for me. I’d rather a boater style hat as it’s more elevated and protective of the sun too.

[@lindacox3062]

Another add is silk scarfs, they always really dress up an outfit.
