I used to think I had a capsule wardrobe because I had a small wardrobe. Now, with your expert advice over the last year or more, I truly have one. Virtually every piece I own can mix and match with all the other pieces. Also, they all fit. It makes it a pleasure to get dressed in the mornings, and shopping is much easier because I have all your rules in my head.

Just subscribed. I feel that I can learn a lot from your channel. Many changes in my life in last few years-- middle age, moved from subtropical climate to the north of England, and dressing for comfort due to autoimmune disease (occasional wheelchair use). I look forward to viewing your content! Thanks for sharing this with us! 🙂

Just want to add that you will NOT be disappointed following Melissa. She is very talented but even more so, very clear in how she describes anything she is showing. She recently did a video with her mother, highlighting a mature petite-size woman’s options when wanting to dress appropriately. I think you would find it fun and most informative. Happy watching! 🇨🇦

[@anaq903]

Thanks for a very helpful video. I would really love it if you could do a video on wide leg trousers for the different body shapes. They are very on trend right now but more importantly I think they are very convenient and can look very nice. Thank you!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

The problem with them is that not many people can wear them effectively. in order to counteract the wide leg you need to show a contrast in size around the waistline area. The combination of a smaller waist and wider leg is super flattering but if your waist is quite thick then they make you look broader across the whole frame so there's not many body shapes that can wear them i'm afraid.

[@anaq903]

@@mmpersonalstyling oh that is unfortunate, I really hoped these would suit me….thank you!

[@Christine-ry1qq]

The biggest learn I’ve finally come to terms with after finishing my career is to buy for my new much changed lifestyle & not “fantasy” me . It’s taken me a while to stop buying for who I used to be & it’s been hard lol 😂 Loving your content Thankyou

And hopefully that’ll mean you’ll have a wardrobe full of clothes you can actually wear! Well done, it’s not easy to transition xx 😘

I need to do this!!

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

You are the best stylist I watch. I love that you keep it real and explain that not everything will fit into the viewer's wardrobe or lifestyle. Years ago I would buy something because I liked it on someone else or even just in the store and it didn't fit into my lifestyle at all. Even if it's on sale if it doesn't get worn it's a waste of money and bad for the planet. Can't wait for your accessory video!!!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you x

[@missylucy9933]

Thank you Melissa for all you do. Your videos are really helping me to dress for my shape and my lifestyle when I had all but given up on myself at 44. Still learning, however I’m getting much more confident in myself and have some lovely clothes 😊. You’re so inspiring and look beautiful in all your outfits 🙏💖

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I'm so glad! Please don't give up on y ourself, you're still a spring chicken at 44! Just wear things that make you feel comfortable and confident. We do 1:1 online styling for people all over the world if that helps. x

[@marilynsitaker4198]

Thank you Melissa! This autumn I purchased a rust colored faux suede jeans jacket that I can wear with somw dark wash jeans and white shirt I already had. I can also wear it over a new dark grey/rust paisley slip dress. The dress can also be worn with a stone colored v neck jumper for a skirt and top look. Each of these silhouettes were chosen based on styling tips I learned from your videos. Thanks for encouraging me to try new colors and ideas for combining new and old pieces!

[@sandralokoff5144]

Melissa, another very informative video with several aha moments for me! Very informative when you explain what does and does not work. This makes the message is very clear and understandable. I have several striped jumpers… But not V-neck! I have many white jumpers… Now I see they are not duplicates but good for different seasons. I learned something every time. Love your videos.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you 🙏

[@ElizabethDohertyThomas]

I will look in your video library but I'd love a whole video just on how to figure out shoes to the trouser/skirt hem length, as well as colors. You're my mid-life crisis clothing therapist as I slowly try to figure out fashion. :-)

I recently had a double mastectomy without a reconstruction after having breast cancer… I’m 36 now and I’m not feeling very confident anymore, also because my hair is still short and my belly is still bloated, so I’m trying to change my wardrobe to feel more beautiful and these tips are really helpful! Even when it looks slightly different on my because of my body type but it helps me look at clothing differently. Thank you ❤

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I wish you a speedy recovery. Xx

[@ritastutler1470]

You fought breast cancer...your body will return to a more normal state..be easy on yourself. I list a ton of hair over a tragic event. I bought a good collagen. I feel like my hair is better than it has been in a long time. A friend of mine had breast cancer...sure was tough times. Hugs to u.

Loved this video! Thank you so much for adressing sustainability and not making people buy clothes they wont wear. I am struggling to get my trousers go with my shoes and would really love a video with tips on how to match long/ cropped jeans with shoes for different climates.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

It’s coming in the next two videos x

[@juliesmith5704]

Wonderful advice as always Melissa, I think sometimes we rush out and buy things we have seen on other people and that we like the look of but always you are constantly reiterating to make sure you have all the necessary items and its appropriate to your lifestyle Your advice is invaluable in making choices about what to buy and especially in investment items. Cant wait for the accessories video! Thank you so much for helping me and I hope you have a wonderful holiday. Xx

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you for watching x

[@melissawilliams3071]

This was so helpful. I thought I was doing well sticking to neutrals but still struggle to put things together and now I know why. I buy long navy, short tan, medium length black! I get it now. Thank you it never occurred to me before.

[@SusanJantzi]

What an incredibly helpful video! Can't wait for the accessories/jewelry one! I don't know if you would ever have the time or interest, but I bet there are a many of us who would pay for a "cheat sheet" of specific recommended pieces each season across the 10 categories, by body shape. I.e., if you're pear-shaped, these are the three best striped jumpers for you to pick up this fall. Anyway - thank you for continuing to share your knowledge through these videos in the meantime.

[@KimberlyPerrotis]

Knit dresses are my go-to outfit almost year-round (not in our hot California summers). I look for natural-fiber ones with a fitted bodice, open neckline and fuller skirt. I love them with boots and a blazer for autumn and spring, or a long coat for winter. I wear them a lot at home, then just add the boots and outerwear to go out. They are so comfortable and easy.

[@shelleymurrison7419]

Vivaia shoes are SO incredibly comfortable!!! Ordered my after seeing Melissa speak of them. Never looking back!!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Oh good, I’m so pleased to hear that x

[@paddingtonbear760]

I’m glad the Vivaia shoes are working for you. I had extremely high hopes for this brand, but their sizing is not true, and their customer service is the worst I have ever encountered. It ended up costing me a lot of money to return the two pairs I ordered.

[@karenthomas4575]

Yes the customer service does not have good reviews, neither does the company. (Made in China). I put a web address about up about them but MM keeps deleting the post. I wonder why!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Hello Karen. I haven’t deleted any such message from you, I haven’t even seen it. KZbin delete messages based on key words, negativity, hate words etc. I’m not suggesting that these categories refer to you, but there’s definitely a reason why the message hasn’t made it to me so it might be worth asking KZbin.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Really? I’ve had really good service from them so far so I’m sorry to hear that you haven’t. I would say size down if you’re in between sizes, I certainly did and they fitted well.

[@enigma_-_79]

I found the shoes way too expensive for what they are. I prefer a leather shoe that will last forever.

I was surprised to find how right you are about blazers working for everyone. I purchased a beige blazer you featured in an H&M haul video and have received lots of compliments. It's a longer cut but I'm just over 5'7" so it works for me. I worried that the beige might make my silver gray hair brassy but my foundation pieces help alleviate that. I love your classic and comfy style! Thank you for your videos!

[@evalindell2757]

🙌 How many times did you say sustainability?? Brilliant! Brilliant!! 👏 It should be high street normalcy (? is that a word?😂) The more you find good alternative like Vivaia and talk about eco friendly/sustainable clothing and a Capsul Warderobe as THE sustainable way to go without beeing boring. On the contrary, it leaves you with more money to do fun/cool/dope stuff in your Melissa Murell inspired FLEEK Capsul wardrobe! Love it Melissa 😘

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you so much!

[@linnnea8171]

Excellent content as always. It would be really interesting to see a video about other base colors than white and beige, and if there is something to consider with for example blue or green and darker colors.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

The base colours have to include one lighter colour otherwise your ability to mix and match with ease doesn’t work. As long as you’ve got this lighter colour you can pick any two/three other base colours as long as they mix and match together x

[@sussie9895]

Such great advice! Especially about it being ok to buy 10 tops in the same color but with different functions and fabrications! No wonder I'm having trouble putting outfits together.

Just found your channel... Amazing!! I am in United States and appreciate all the good solid info.

Hello and welcome! I hope you enjoy the content x

Enjoy your holiday!

Oh My Gosh!!!! I have been eyeing those shoes for ages, but I was reluctant to buy them. Thanks for the review, this was helpful.

[@debrablackmon9897]

Hi Melissa, I just started watching you after we lost our home and everything we owned (all my clothes

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I’ve just replied to your other message Debra, please read that. I’d love to help you if I can…

[@leslieg5276]

LOVE this video!!! Thank you! I am looking forward to other similar ones in the future!

[@alamedadanceparty]

Enjoy your holiday and thanks for all the valuable tips.

[@designchik]

Thanks for introducing Vivaia. I’ve seen them on other vlogs, and they look amazing!

[@tplayspiano]

Your videos are quite helpful. My lifestyle has changed and it is difficult to come to terms with it wardrobe wise…corporate to retired.

[@BlackCoffeeee]

Same.

[@yifatjovani333]

What a great video. I love the outfit with the leather jacket! & Your blazer advice!❤️

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you x

[@clairebear6602]

Wonderful and so helpful as always!!! Love your advice! It would be great if you could do a video on finding the perfect blazer for your shape/ height as I think is something a lot of us struggle with!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

It’s a great ideas but people are visual learners so it would mean I’d need 10 models in the studio in order to represent everyone’s shape variations and it’s hard enough getting 1 volunteer let alone 10!

[@elizabethsummers9194]

Thank you so much. I learn so much from your channel. ❤

[@jackieblakemore56]

You look gorgeous in everything and give such good advice. I particularly love the jumpsuit but then again, I’m like you and love white!! Keep up the good work xx

[@mmpersonalstyling]

I’ve worn it so much and someone always comments on it so it’s a good indication that it’s a keeper - super comfy as well x

[@kerriell3377]

Couldn’t agree with you more about Vivaia shoes. I have bought 6 pairs over the last year. When I am not in sandals or athletic shoes they are all I wear.

[@jmk1962]

Are they comfy and are they true to size?

[@kerriell3377]

Very comfy, easy to clean, lightweight, and true to size.

😢😢 Melissa, in Australia, we are in Spring, heading into our Hot Summers over Christmas, I wish there were channels that looked at the styling/colours/fashion for us in the southern hemisphere 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 can you please do the odd show, or perhaps a little 10mins at the end of your show for a couple of tips of warm weather, what you're just leaving behind, and we are just embrasing weather wise......😊❤

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Unfortunately we don’t have the clothes in our stores at this time of the year to do that. You’re better looking back at the videos I made in the summer time, sorry, I wish I could help more.

[@michelegagnon8203]

Looove this video ❤ very helpful!! Have a nice trip ✈️

[@trishhickson1550]

I really like the cream Varley coat. It could be my casual alternative to a trench coat. Had a bit of a gulp at the price. Love the sporty top too. I like it all but my bank account wouldn’t.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

They’re definitely not cheap. I try and strike a balance between offering lower end and higher end high street. If I show too much from the likes of H&M people say the quality isn’t good enough and if I show too much from Reiss and varley etc., people say it’s too expensive so in an attempt to please all I try and include things from all ranges. Unfortunately it looks like you’ve got great taste in picking the higher end items!!!

[@trishhickson1550]

@@mmpersonalstyling I understand. I’ve seen the comments! I do have expensive taste, but not the budget 😖. I think cheaper mixed with a few quality items is a good compromise though. Expensive dosnt always mean quality and vice versa, but you know that. Some of my most loved and worn items are from places like Sainsbury tu. I have ordered the coat, I think it will really elevate my casual look, as I only have a knee length trench coat.

[@texasstardust6010]

@@mmpersonalstyling ... I understand about your response ... Striking the Balance, ...however there are surely other options available (?) that aren't H &M ( if some have an aversion to it not having the quality ). Just a thought.... I've often watched Videos, looked at the item(s) , took a Screenshot and use it as Inspiration to find a quality similar look ( or item) that is affordable. I believe in buying quality, so I search out ways to achieve that and within Price Point.

[@joanannewallace]

I love everything but like skirts and dresses especially now we are into Spring here in Australia.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Sorry, I can only show what’s in the uk shops as that’s all I have access to but if you watch my summer videos you’ll get some dresses/skirts ideas x

[@dlindsay913]

Thoughtful styling. Enjoyable!

[@heeyabbott9838]

Love your chanel, one of the best for relevant tips for women of every body shape and lifestyle. Thanks so much!

You are so welcome!

[@victoriamorales88]

Great video and information Melissa. Thank you!

[@storytime8205]

Fabulous as usual. So looking forward to the accessories video. More detailed information about footwear (styles/colours, etc.) to wear with what would be lovely. Just bought some black sock boots so am slowly getting up to speed. Now for the outerwear . . . . 😁

[@kathypr1987]

Thank you in advance for the jewellery/accessory video! xx

[@mmpersonalstyling]

It’s coming, I’m just gathering all the items together!

[@lilwilliams7277]

As always a helpful video Melissa. Looking forward to the next video. Enjoy your hols, with your friends 😍

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you x

[@cdavham]

You help us so much. Enjoy your holiday. 💕

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you so much! It’s been 14 years since my husband and I went on holiday without the children and I can’t wait!!!

[@Ceaaa22]

Great ideas and very on point, Melissa ! Medium to loose fit V-neck sweaters have become my go to layering piece as it cools down with usually a crewneck tee or a lightweight poloneck underneath worn with jeans or wide cut dark slacks. PS. I'm deeply in love with that cream cable knit poloneck !

[@Ceaaa22]

Oh and enjoy your time off 😘

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you! The cream polo is from H&M but only in store at the moment, it’s not online yet x

[@Ceaaa22]

@@mmpersonalstyling That's OK... My other polonecks would probably get jealous and gang up on the new kid.

[@anjtyson9069]

Thanks again for another great video, have a fab time on holiday.

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you, I will, I can’t wait!

[@janicerice8810]

Again great tips. I live in a rainy climate and spend my time walking dogs so cannot do light colours on the bottom. So navy or black pants, so making out fits with that limitation difficult in summer and fall.

[@ReedingBetweenTheLines]

Enjoyed this video, thank you! I just purchased Vivaia last week, waiting for them to arrive in the mail!

[@clairesutherland2591]

Great video as always xx

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Thank you!! 😊

[@rosaleenpalmer9947]

One very useful tip I've picked up from your videos,Melissa, is to not be a slave to label size- previously I felt I couldn't possible buy a top in Large because I'm 8-10 but it really works!! So thank you for that.

[@georgina3358]

Great video, and can't wait for the next one on accessories. Have a lovely holiday!

[@kellymichelle1255]

Hope you're having a great holiday Melissa. Thanks for another great video! x

[@Anonymous-sh3ig]

You are brilliant. I really love your style. Always gorgeous Thank you 😊

[@rosaleenpalmer9947]

Thank you,Melissa, good tips- it feels like we’ve suddenly plunged into full Autumn here in Suffolk,UK!

[@mmpersonalstyling]

Same here in Wiltshire!

[@sunshine-bs2jx]

Super video great work Melissa. Enjoy your holidays xxc

[@babycakes8434]

I love the jumpsuit on you. I recently was lucky to purchase 2 summer jumpsuits for myself and I am absolutely in love. I have wide hips so it is hard to buy stuff, so I don't look huge in that area.

[@spfisterer3651]

that is such a new way of looking at things for me. I am super outdoorsy and I also work outdoors a lot so I usually look for things like.. it this jacket 10.000 mm waterproof... do these shoes keep my feet warm for 3 hours in the snow....

[@helenmckeown7430]

Brilliant video as always, thank you❤️
