OMG, I’m guilty of buying too many of the same thing..once I love something I am so drawn to buying it over and over. Recently, however, I have been very conscious of this and decided that instead of buying 5 or six of the same thing I will simply buy one of a “better quality”. So far this has worked for me…❤Liz❤

Diedre,thank you. I am a physician in the States who has a subspecialty in breast care and mammography. The bane of my existence is breast pain. Many times it is cause by ill fitting bras. This has recently been publicized by ob,/gyn articles. I cannot tell you the number of times I have directed patients to go get a bra fitting. Should be done anytime there's a gain or loss of around 8kg, or 20 pounds. Not only will one feel better, but it will help you look better, and more youthful. I love your channel and tips. Nothing worse for a patient to have a frumpy looking doctor. Again, many thanks.

I just cannot remember you EVER offending anyone Deirdre! You always have great ideas, and points to make. You also say to "wear what makes you feel great" and that is true. I've been dealing with the 'bra' issue this week. I think that over time they shrink in the dryer. I should just line dry them.

Hi Deirdre thank you for a very informative video. Today I wore a navy jumpsuit and paired it with pale pink slip on shoes and a pale pink denim jacket. I think it looked great and I guess paler colours go better with navy rather than black. To be honest, I am fed up with wearing jeans all the time and long for the weather to improve to bring out my dresses and skirts for every day wear. Thanks again for your tips, Maralyn xx

These are all very good points.! ❤ I purged my closet and have been putting all my clothing items in a wardrobe app. Before I buy anything online, I put it in the app to see if I need it and have enough items already that it will coordinate with. It’s saving me from buying duplicates and clothes that I will end up not wearing because they don’t go with anything.

The underwear point is so key but also one of the hardest things (for some of us) to change! I think it’s the mental leap of accepting that even though one can squeeze into the smallest size, this doesn’t mean it’s our appropriate size or is flattering.

Great advice! Clothing should skim or flow on your body, not too tight, not too baggy. Also, go out of your comfort zone with clothing every now and again. I got a lovely girl to help me in a shop I visited recently for a formal outfit. It was definitely not in my comfort zone style wise but i ended up getting the perfect outfit that wowed everyone. Went back for the shoes they loaned me for the fittings as they give an instant boost to almost everything in my wardrobe 😂

Definitely on buying the same (or very similar) garment again and again. I'm not guilty of spending all the budgets on occasion clothes (probably means I don't get invited to many-otherwise I probably would). I love black but I think it gets very overused because it's perceived as being slimming and going with everything- which as you point out is only true some of the time. I sew for a living , so lengths are not really a problem.

Thank you for the excellent advice! I lost 122 lbs since 2022 and have re-kindled an interest in fashion at the age of 55+. I’m 5’5” 125 lbs and never knew I had an inverted triangle figure until recently! I struggle with wanting to hide loose skin all over and a drooping bust and discovered just because something fits, doesn’t mean I should wear it. I wear knee high compression socks under trousers daily for health reasons. What’s a person to do when no-show socks are not supportive, especially in a very hot climate? Is it worth it to spend money on plastic surgery (bust lift and tummy tuck?) or say who cares what others think, and buy a car instead?

Having had a coworker who died from skin-removal surgery following weight loss… I would avoid the surgery! Enjoy your new car.

If I FINALLY find a jacket/blazer/sweater that fits and flatters, I'm buying one of every color. I had a problem with bras riding UP every time I raised my arms. Someone said my bra was too small. What? I am NOT endowed with.....well....but what the heck. I bought a cup size UP and there I go. No riding up. Who knew!!!

Im 5ft 7. I bought a pair of stretch trousers that were a bit too short. I tried dropping the hem but what a mistake. They fit ok to start but as i walked they got shorter in the leg. I ended up looking like I'd just walked of a Star Trek set. So they ended up in the bin. 😂. I will never make that mistake again but I'm sure I will make plenty more 😂

Great tips again Deirdre. I recently had a bra fit as going through the menopause and knew my size had changed. Having the right bra is fundamental to clothes sitting well and looking streamlined. They also reveal waistlines and can make you feel more youthful, which I think is an important physiological aspect to it.

Resilient, stalwart, and empathy. Definitely, cannot get past dark, stern and the type of clothing that no one notices but always too professional. In a crowd.. they Only remembers my voice. It's my trademark. People rarely see me, But recognize my voice. Deidre, you voice articulates, color, .. And conveys fashion, yes.. What is particular and defines you distinctly is empathy.. A very solid trait, in the world of women And the strife of . Posture, voice, gestures, facial expressions define who we are days in and days out. I dearly paid for my wrinkles, and wear them with pride, each priceless as important as my roller skating scars on my knees as a child.

Hi Deirdre 😊 gosh if I expressed everything I’m feeling after watching this fabulous video it would go on forever. Sooo helpful and as usual entertaining. I had to laugh when you were talking about buying things too small hoping to get into them in the future 😂😂!! I haven’t done it a lot but I have a pair of gorgeous slacks that were too tight when I brought them . I stupidly said to myself that these pants are my goal weight pants !!!! How silly . You’ve given me the the push I needed to finally fold them up and donate ❤

04/22/24 I agree about the bra issue and undergarments. If I wear a lace cup bra under t-shirts, fabric wrinkles at bust. Buying smoother cup bras resolves this. Also pulling the bra up and not have a droopy bustline is more youthful. A very informative video! And a great visual about drooping bustline you showed of that woman. Thank you!

Luv your sense of goodwill and humor! Guilty of buying the same thing over and over and over and over (you get the idea)again. I have almost every color of RL men's cotton tee and every color of Vneck cashmere sweater 🙋🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🙅🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

Most everyone has some kind of dressing formula. That is normal. Just don't take it too far. RL makes the best t-shirts. I like their long-sleeve ones, but I wish they would make their crewnecks higher and offer petites.

@americafirst9144 all my RL tees are from the men's department. The fit so much better for me. I have to admit I have a small collection of the RL Vneck tees.

You wore a strapless bra in one scene while struggling to get a T-shirt on. The bra looked very comfortable! Can you provide the link or brand/style please? I would love to find a comfortable strapless bra!

I discovered your videos a short time ago, and I absolutely love them. Love your styling and tips. I particularly liked all the issues you pointed out in this video. I’ve done a few, like pair light summery colors with black, or wear darker shoes with lighter stuff. I struggle at times with pants and everyday shoes. I tend to wear a lot of sneakers, and every time I try and change it, it just feels awkward. After watching your video’s, I have gone through a few tired looks, and now look at them differently. So thank you so much for all your help and input.

The tonal color mistake made me think of the Tibi Color Wheel. That has been a game changer for me. I printed one off to keep in my closet and have a picture of it on my phone for shopping. Black definitely doesn’t go with everything!
