Easy to Wear, Summer to Autumn/Fall Transitional Outfit Ideas with Personal Stylist Melissa Murrell

[@nikkijackson5975]

Totally agree with you Melissa re spending more on the clothing you wear more often. Love the looks and advise on keeping it current. Being 66 would love a video on casual/dressy casual for those of us that are a little older. Please & thank you

[@mmpersonalstyling]

We have a 60 year old lovely everyday woman coming into the studio to film early on in October xx

[@sandralokoff5144]

Mellisa, you’re a demo of undoing one more button on the jumpsuit was amazing! What a difference great illustration.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Oh thank you!

[@sandrakent8049]

Hi Melissa good that you are doing expensive and cheaper versions. Some vloggers just tend to give the designer ones only and out of price range for most so thank you!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

You are so welcome!

[@Mariamaria374]

Thanks for great videos. And..Happy birthday to Monty!!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Oh my goodness, thank you so much, that's very kind of you and very much appreciated. xx

[@mmpersonalstyling]

He is very hard to ignore!!!

[@leslieblair6730]

I always appreciate you putting links to items on one board instead of a dozen or more separate links. Love your videos.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Glad you like them!

[@dianethompson6804]

The light wash down the legs of your jeans helps elongate your legs The denim dress looks lovely on you! I don't spend much for joggers and everyday clothes because I don't want to get something expensive stained or ruined doing house work. When I'm cleaning everyday, it would really crush me if I got a permanent stain on an expensive outfit that I wore for the first time!! Some household chores are down and dirty, some involve bleach and that is easy to spot your outfit!!

[@anaalves3658]

I find that an apron helps with keeping your clothes clean, but if it's going to be a really messy job I have old clothes that I change into, they have had spots of bleach and paint splatter on them. I'm currently in them as I am going to paint my daughter's bedroom 😊.

[@mythoughts7755]

The reason I don't like to spend money on clothes I wear on a daily basis is because I would be concerned about messing them up. I think it goes back to childhood of having old clothes for play and "best" clothes for going to visit, going to Sunday School, going on holiday etc. I certainly wear old clothes for gardening, but even around the house/cleaning/food shopping etc that feels like chores and doesn't justify wearing "best" clothes. I have recently bought some nicer casual clothes since watching your videos Melissa but sadly they are still hanging up in the wardrobe with the labels on. If I put on something I've spent more money on I have this very strong urge that I can't do anything because I don't want to mess the clothes up - it is very difficult to get past that feeling, hence if I have a lot of things to do I go for the older, cheaper clothes in my wardrobe - crazy but true!

[@bohobellevintage]

This is 100% how I feel as well. I've tried to get past it, but I believe it's ingrained from the same childhood thoughts!

[@AlliWiltshire]

Exactly the same for me! I just can’t bring myself to wear “best” clothes when I’m just shopping or walking the dog or around the house 😅

[@GussiedUp10]

I too feel like when I’m working I might wreck my nicer clothes, but definitely when I”m out and about; whether that’s grocery shopping or going for a walk I wear my nicer, smarter clothes. I do all my cooking in two days so I’m not cooking for the rest of the week which means I can wear nicer clothes at home the rest of the week; I don’t want my husband thinking he is not important enough for me to take care when he’s the only one who sees me!

[@amandalepape6056]

I so relate to that! I spend so much time running around doing chores at the weekend, I can't imagine wearing clothes I@ve invested heavily in, in case I get bleach or grass stains on them. I also want clothes I can move with freedom in.

[@JNel-m9j]

Same for me. Always doing some type of mucky chores, walking the dog, cleaning up after the kids. My clothes are pretty much trashed, so I couldn’t wear anything really decent & budget doesn’t really stretch that far. So cheap clothes for round the house and then I end up spending on work clothes, don’t have much in between. Either workwear or scruffy 😂

[@dianet-p115]

Love the question you posed on your Instagram feed about spending $$ on clothes you wear everyday. Lightbulb moment!! I’m retired, so I’m rethinking how I spend my dollars on items that I wear around the house. Going to start pulling those nicer items out of the closet and start wearing them more during the day!! ❤

[@sharonbrame9613]

true & no fast fashion to the landfill.

[@SusanPowell-y4k]

Thank you Melissa for another great video, I find them so helpful. As a young 75 year old it’s nice to see such smart ideas for every day and as I live in Yorkshire I’m afraid autumn weather will hit sooner than down south. Happy birthday 🎉 Monty from a very grateful lady to your mum. X

I will NEVER wear a jumpsuit but I still ❤ your videos As the Summer was so unsettled I've already been wearing my linen/cotton shirts open or buttoned over vests, sleeves rolled up or down and with a statement necklace.

Hi Melissa as the last lady before my comment said I am a fan. Every single time I watch you I realize how relatable you are. I am an inch shorter than you but my problem area is hips. I have gotten so many good tips from you, that I am not mad about them anymore. All of your outfits today are so beautiful and you look gorgeous as always. It has been one hundred degrees here…high nineties for weeks and no rain, so it’s a little hard to think about fall. I do love colder weather only because the clothes are more interesting and I love jackets and coats. Thanks Melissa. You always brighten my day. I don’t spend a lot of money on one special occasion. I would rather spend it on the everyday clothes. As a hair stylist I had a girl who spent a fortune on clothes but did not want to get professional hair coloring and she did a terrible job doing it herself. I finally said you know the clothes you wear are expensive and you don’t wear them everyday, BUT your hair you “wear” everyday. She was a hair color client after that😊. Take care. Give Monty a special treat and tell him it’s from his Utube fans. ❤❤❤❤

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you so much and sounds like you’re giving great advice to your clients too!

[@ladonnabarker2983]

I’m a fan! You’ve changed my fashion life. I get so many compliments now on my outfits. I appreciate all your knowledge on how to dress. Love your tip….if you lose inches at the bottom, then make up for it at the top.

Thank you for another really helpful video. I'd love to see an autumn capsule and also a wet weather outfits video.

[@2010lrain]

I've been burnt by a few Chinese companies delivery issues unfortunately. I've kept the items due to the issues with returns. Goella looks great but i won't buy their clothes online if returns are an issue if they don't have a UK shop. Apart from that rant i loved all the clothes and advice. Thanks again for a really informative video 😊

[@flintridge3576]

I have just raise the same point regarding the returns policy. At least Lilysilk have a UK returns address..

Goelia do now have a warehouse in the uk so deliveries and returns are cheaper and quicker.

Goelia still say on their website that they only provide return shipping labels for USA.

[@PenelopeBell-n1g]

Home alone this weekend (Test Match!) so used the opportunity for a wardrobe overhaul. Put all my Autumn and Winter clothes in spare room and spent all day trying on every combination, always imagining you on my shoulder 👍 or 👎 A couple of lace DVF dresses had to go, as gorgeous but dated. Too short and fitted. Cropped fitted cashmere cardigans look wrong, as I now like cropped boxy, so will donate to my very skinny granddaughter. As always you are an inspiration.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I bet that felt good! I actually need someone to do mine out as I never get the time to my own!!!

[@jbach1841]

I would rather wear a dress than a jumpsuit. Easy to go to the restroom, more comfortable, looks as good or better, and still a one and done outfit

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Absolutely - a great alternative x

[@Bee-ly4gx]

I like a dress but love a jumpsuit and I don’t think the loo causes a great problem unless maybe on an aeroplane. I just grab a hold of the bottom before I pull down the top.

My daugther pursuaded me to wear my first ever jumpsuit and I felt really good in it. Love, love the denim dress. It looks so much nicer on you than the model, IMO. Also, oversized items. I'm so scared of them. I'm a size 14 and only 5, 3 so feel like a sack of spuds when I wear anything that's a little big on me. As always, thanks for your videos!

[@Bee-ly4gx]

I think a lot of the things she wears look much better on her than the model. It helps that Melissa is gorgeous but obviously she really knows her job and styles things better than the clothing companies do.

[@sarahhoffman7840]

[@Donna-d7x]

I've been watching you for years and still learn something new each time! Thank you for your generosity in sharing your wealth of knowledge. I had a thought watching today: I find that the loose drop shoulder sweaters are not flattering on me and make me look a bit droopy. My sense is that when you pull it off your shoulder, you are compensating for the lack of structure in the shoulders, but as 70+ woman with a healthy but mature body that just looks silly on me. In general, would you advise the more mature woman to stick with structured clothing? Would love to see you explore this further in your posts.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Yes, structured clothing looks better if you have sloping shoulders or bigger boobs - regardless of your age.

[@irnalonso]

I took your advice and bought a jumpsuit for the Summer. I love it. I'm getting at least one more for Autumn/Winter. It is supercomfy and actually there are other clothes like long dresses, long skirts or palazzos that are just as if no more troublesome if you go to the bathroom in public places and are worried about hygiene. Also, thanks for the effort put on having several price points. You and your team are really lovely and thoughtful women!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

That is awesome! I’m so pleased the advice helped you and thank you for your kind words x

[@Wingate8000]

Thanks for another great video and really looking forward to the basics video.

Have a great week.

Thanks so much for your videos. As the commenter said below, you've changed my shopping and dressing forever! Also, I"ve recently put on weight and due to your master class videos, I can still feel good about my body/image bc I know how to dress it! One problem I'm having is when I link to your LTK page from KZbin, or sometimes just go to your LTK page by just using a tab in by browser, the links within the LTK posts go to the UK page for COS, as an example. Is there a way to go directly to the US websites? I Googled "How to switch from UK to US pages within LTK." and did not find an answer.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

No there isn’t I’m afraid. All you do though is once you land on the cos uk page, just find the country button and change it to the US then it’ll switch it for you. That’s why we use moonsift for the big videos as that allows us to save US specific links.

Hi Melissa. Would be nice if you could show examples of capsule wardrobe for true summer(creams, beige, camel and brown colours just don’t suit me). Would you suggest to swap them for grey and navy colours? For example, grey shoes?

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Yes you could do that but don’t get too hung up on your colour analysis. The reason I do this job and was so busy initially when I first started was because I use to go in and rectify peoples wardrobes who ‘had their colours done’ as often the colour pallets they’ve been told they can wear don’t mix and match together unless they’ve got the white or neutral in there but because they were told they ‘can’t wear’ the lighter colours they wouldn’t buy the necessary pieces. I 100% agree that certain colours look better on some people however, anyone can wear ANY colour if they just either move it away from their face (and sometimes neckline) or, they layer that colour. Yellow doesn’t suit me for example but when I add a navy layer over the top I can wear it. Grey shoes aren’t the best as they don’t give with everything, I’d stick to neutral tones regardless of what your colours say.

[@TheNicoliyah]

I find your videos so helpful as I'm of an age where I want to be fashion forward whilst age appropriate, your style gets the balance just right (in my option) Plus we very similar height, body shape so I always think 'If it looks good on Melissa, it will probably suit me!' 😅

Would you say the joggers (striped and non-stripe) are too casual for a smart casual office setting? Mostly jeans, but I'd like to wear something else sometimes.

[@tesshendersonfotheringham9805]

Me again! 🙂 I have a few fashion questions and wanted to separate those. One, kind of a silly question, but, when wearing pants long enough for heels, what do you do around the house. I wear Crocs only, my slippers, in the house, but my long pants hang on the ground. I thought maybe you'd have a fix. Two, you show changing handbags for different outfits. I like this idea but when I use a handbag I *move in* to that handbag. Any tips on how to change efficiently change handbags? Again, I appreciate you Melissa, and your team! Thx

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Handbag wise I’ve only ever got my phone and purse so it’s just a matter of picking them out if one bag and putting them in another. Although you can get bag inserts off Amazon that allow you to transfer easier. Longer pants - my heels (small kitten heels), trainers and boots all have a very similar heel height - probably the same height as the standard pair of crocs so there’s no issue transferring from one to the other. Plus, I mainly wear ankle crop trousers/jeans anyway. The other answer for me personally is that I always stick my variety jogging set on as soon as Im in the house so I’m nice and comfy x

[@lauragilbert1603]

That lovely camel jacket has doubled in price! I was going to buy it but it’s now £181

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Many retailers do that when things become popular and it’s often after one of my videos goes live so if you set notifications so you’re alerted when I first put a video out you’ll get in there quicker at the lower prices.

Please do a video on Quince not sure if they ship to the UK but I’m loving their stuff! Would love your take on their items!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I’ve never heard of them I’m afraid and unless you can get it in both the uk and the states then I’m unable to show it I’m afraid. Sorry

[@TessiLoch]

I hope they do at some point very good quality at very affordable prices. Keep up the awesome videos.

[@VanessaPeterson-h2u]

good info, thanks!!!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Glad it was helpful!

I'm a new subscriber and love it! I'm looking for the jean jacket and do not see the USA link. Can you please provide it? Many thanks!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Hello and welcome! It wasn’t available for me to link in the US so we’ve linked similar instead. X

[@JenJones-v3x]

@@mmpersonalstyling gotcha, thanks so much for getting back to me...I look forward to the next video :)

[@Imagine.Create.Inspire]

I don’t see an USA link to the trench coat. I really like the ‘softness’ of the coat you modeled.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Oops, I’ll add it on there now, sorry!! Here’s the link for you www.moonsift.com/collection/mm_personal_styling2022/KHKEz8xU0pFsI4aWFEaj

I get the idea of taking the concept from an outfit shown and not buying the exact items. But, 2 Christmases ago, you were doing a body shape video and the woman had a similar shape and I loved the outfit. (Plus, it was from Marks & Spencer's and since I am in the US, I felt confident no one else at my holiday party would be likely to have the same thing.) I bought the exact 3 items, they fit great, flattered and wore well and I received many compliments. Very happy with the information you provided and my purchase. (MssterClas #10, outfit about 22 minutes in.)

[@mmpersonalstyling]

That’s great to hear, super pleased that all of the items fitted you well and most importantly that you felt good and confident in them as that’s what it’s all about. X

Hi Melissa, I’m a size 10-12 in tops, what size should I buy the white cashmere sweater you’ve recommended from lily silk.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I'd go for the size medium in it. x

[@AndreeB19]

What about including (for next week) where to buy no show trainers socks that don’t slip down under your heels? Basic but so frustrating!

[@bohobellevintage]

I'm not sure how worldwide these are available, but I buy Fruit of the Loom "footies" here in the US. I despise showing my socks, and these have great rubber grips that don't slip down, but never show.

Just a warning re GOELIA online shopping. Customers in UK are responsible for paying for items to be returned to US for a refund. Shipping labels are only provided to US customers. You only have 15 days to return items. This is an Australian / Chinese brand so your order takes 2/3 weeks to arrive to UK. Lovely quality items but be sure of sizes as not easy to return. 🤔

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Good warning to give, thank you. My items came in 3 days but maybe that’s because they come from their press department? Thank you for sharing xx

[@salliebecker7456]

I returned something to Goelia and they took a really long time to provide a refund. Won't be purchasing through them again.

[@sarahheath853]

I was quoted nearly £20 to return one dress! I will not be using them again!

[@whoooami2090]

Thanks for the heads up. This is always great to know.

[@flintridge3576]

I have just raised the same issue regrading the return policy.

[@beverlynorris557]

I spend a lot on my jeans because they are my daily staples. I used to buy cheap ones and they would not last. I do wait for sales if possible.

[@KathSultan]

Melissa what is your opinion on long cardigans?

[@mmpersonalstyling]

They’re great for elongating the frame x

[@shannonlaan3173]

Love your videos!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Glad you like them!

[@karina-j7b]

I absolutely love this video (and all the others 😅) What size shall I order in the jumpsuit ? Bottoms 10 top 8 usually in most brands

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I’d go for a size small…

[@karina-j7b]

@@mmpersonalstyling thank you ☺️ this is for the Levi’s right ?

[@juliea6871]

Love your outfit ideas but also love your boucle dining chairs where are they from? ❤ xx

[@mmpersonalstyling]

They’re from Daals.

[@SpartaWarriorCodeRed]

May be off topic but do you have a separate capsule wardrobe for more formal type events compared to everyday life Sunday-Saturday? Said another way do you have a capsule wardrobe set aside for dressier events you attend throughout the year?

[@mmpersonalstyling]

No I don’t. It’s all part of the same wardrobe x

[@Jean_W]

Thank you very much!!
