You now have a 76 year old subscriber who has been through all this soul searching and waste for 56 years. I grew up in Dallas in a wealthy family and had many fun outings with aunts shopping at Neiman Marcus and the lovely stores. But my adult life as a housewife has been very different....and I live on $1300 a month Social Security. No more Fair Trade or organic or "sustainable"...though I have a treasured collection of USA made towels, sheets, and memento clothes. Practical sewing is expensive and the seamstresses online YT are mostly nostalgia....a very expensive indulgence. I also love striped tee shirts....this is fun, YOU are sweet and fun. I hope your channel grows and brings inspiration for the hard times around the corner for many Americans.

Val, it’s so good to see you back again! YES, I would absolutely love to see some gardening stuff sprinkled into your upcoming videos! I love gardening, so that’s right up my alley! 😊

[@ValKovalchuk]

That's good to know!! 🥰

[@kathyzakharyuk8050]

Happy to see a video from you :) you’re a peaceful calm presence here on YT

[@ValKovalchuk]

awe, thanks... 🥰

[@karo.de.m]

Hi Val 👋🏻 Will the new video come anytime soon? I’m so so so waiting 😊 Warmest regards from Cyprus!

[@larissaguy9083]

The green pants look beautiful and would look lovely with either the black or cream cashmere jumpers

[@ValKovalchuk]

I may have to try those outfits!

[@alexiagalkovskaya4277]

I AM OBSESSED WITH YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@katem3961]

It was so great to see a new video, Val. However, I'm equally happy that you don't let YT get in the way of living life with your young family, too 😊 I tend to think of crew neck jumpers as pretty casual items. I know cashmere takes it to next level casual for some. You do you Val 😌 Thank you for posting 💙💛

[@KnowNothingbutChrist]

Agreed. Wonderful to hear that living life to the full has so occupied your time that shopping becomes the afterthought.

[@ValKovalchuk]

Thanks!! Yes sometimes I feel guilty that I’m not filming enough, but real life is more important 😊 but thanks for always watching no matter how long it takes me to post!

[@Wannaloom]

Always look forward to when you have a video!!

[@ValKovalchuk]

Thanks for always watching!

[@Wannaloom]

Absolutely! You’re a breath of fresh air and I enjoy your style. Love that you prioritize your life and family before videos too. That’s the most important thing!! ❤

[@reggiemoon1763]

Maybe try wearing cashmere sweaters with joggers or sweats even they can be styled very casual and are so comfy

[@ValKovalchuk]

Great idea!

[@kirsikkasorvoja3389]

Happy to see you again. I like that your videos are always so down to earth and realistic. Easy to relate and therefore inspiring 😊

[@ValKovalchuk]

Thank you so much!

[@KnowNothingbutChrist]

Just bought a Uniqlo U white t shirt and was really impressed with the quality. The price is half what you’d find at Everlane.

[@ValKovalchuk]

I will look into them more, thanks for the recommendation!

[@myname7303]

I missed your videos 🥰

[@ValKovalchuk]

🥰🥰

[@alamedadanceparty]

Hey Val! I know what you mean about something feeling “too dressy.” I really struggle with this, and I end up “saving” certain pieces because they feel dressy due to their lighter colour, their care requirements, or their price. I don’t like to hand wash clothes hardly ever and I now never go to the dry cleaner because it’s too inconvenient my work schedule . So when pieces are cream coloured, white, or need special washing, I mentally think of them as being “dressy” and I don’t wear them on a regular basis. It doesn’t matter if the style of the piece is casual, it’s more about the upkeep of it. I decided I need to buy things that I don’t consider “too precious”, otherwise I just won’t wear it. I’m still learning this lesson because my fantasy self loves dressy dry clean only tailored pieces, so it’s a battle of what I like vs what I actually wear. I totally can empathise and relate. ❤

[@ValKovalchuk]

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense!

[@Ophelianne]

It's always a pleasure to view your new videos! :) Have a great day!

[@bw07_r]

The sage green pants look great on you! You can stretch the waistband of pants while damp.

[@ValKovalchuk]

ooh I will try that!

[@PumpkinMozie]

The wide leg pants are super cute on you!

[@ValKovalchuk]

thank you!

[@robynwells8249]

Gardening yes! I thought I was the only one that has a hard time finding replacement for clothes. It’s near to impossible.

[@ValKovalchuk]

Right? It's so discouraging sometimes 😭

[@AlexLouiseWest]

Another lovely video, thank you. I’m definitely interested to see your gardening too.

[@ValKovalchuk]

Thanks for watching! 😊

[@anacastillo8023]

So glad your back! I missed you!

[@ValKovalchuk]

Aw thanks!!

[@lizseville1]

Lovely to see you - such a calm and restful declutter.

[@ValKovalchuk]

Thanks for watching!

[@mariamacdonald1007]

Organic Basics have some nice T-Shirts that are a little sturdier.

[@ValKovalchuk]

Thanks for the tip! 🥰

[@MissLilly-vn2wt]

[@isbeliasilva3115]

☘️ Happy ☘️ St. Patrick's Day ! ☘️

[@valerie718]

The green sage pants look great on you!

[@ValKovalchuk]

thank you!

[@ashlynnkaplan680]

It’s great to see you again! I appreciate you walking through your thought process of letting things go, even when they are just a little off. it really only takes feeling slightly off to completely neglect wearing something. I have been doing a larger scale Declutter, as I am working my way down through a massive amount of clothing. Now four months postpartum with my third baby, my body has changed in shape, but I also still have some weight to lose. Some things I need to let go of because I am on two seasons now not wearing a lot of them; things like blazers and trousers. But others, I do need to wait as my body returns to a comfortable size and weight. I love that you are giving things to your daughter instead of selling them! It helps you save money actually because those are things that will fulfill her clothing need as she grows. My eldest daughter is also almost 12, and I actually just gave her my cigarette jeans as well! I had a black pair just like yours and a blue denim pair. For the same reason, I handed them off to her and she was so excited to get them. She is my height and starting to fill Out in her womanly shape. Many of my items I would have been putting aside to sell, I have given to her which makes us both excited. My poor husband, though… he is getting a little confused, with whose laundry is whose!😂

[@ValKovalchuk]

Congrats on your third baby!! And how cool that you can also pass on your clothes to your daughter, how are we this old? 😅

[@shelbyquiring9192]

Will you do a wardrobe try on? I always find those so helpful

[@jlb101]

I think you have a great outift right there with those pants. I love the color, too!

[@ValKovalchuk]

Yeah after I tried them on, I really liked them again 😅

[@angelamelum4304]

Oh I would love to see a gardening video!

[@ValKovalchuk]

Yay, great!

[@MrLachris]

I missed your videos, so I am happy for your comeback

[@ValKovalchuk]

Thank you so much!!

[@lindsaygarland504]

Maybe try the Uniqlo U Crew Neck Tshirt. Classic cut and thick cotton.

[@ValKovalchuk]

I will look into it, thanks!

[@mariah660]

Wish you would publish this now

[@joywhitley3141]

Yes! Gardening, please.❤

[@ValKovalchuk]

Yay! I will get on that 🥰

[@ViolettaGenova]

I love this inspiration! I would love to see garden videos. I am very excited about gardening also.

[@ValKovalchuk]

Yay great! I already started some flowers from seed and the starts look so good! I may be a little early, but im really excited about this 😅😅

[@zelda1966]

I'd watch a gardening video

[@ValKovalchuk]

🥰🥰

[@jessicabulloch5302]

The sage pants look beautiful on you, but if they arent comfortable I guess you wouldnt want to wear them.❤

[@theguider33]

Hey , so it's been a year and you still haven't grown much. Why don't you try something else? In the similar niche try new ideas
