My name is Natalie and I love sharing about my life as a mom and homemaker/homesteader. Around here we embrace the coziness in the chaos and the magic in the mundane. I believe simple joys and a home filled with love (not STUFF) are more important than "keeping up with the Joneses." I'm glad you stopped by! I hope you find some encouragement and gentle motivation and a cozy corner of the internet that's full of peace.

I would have to say, the best thing I’ve found about getting older, and I’m only 43, is just simply caring less and less what anyone thinks about anything!!! You live so much more free and comfortable. The whole point is to be YOU!

[@heiditate6989]

It's liberating!

[@nw8204]

I'll be 38 next week and this is something I'm trying to teach my kids! It really is something that has to come with time though. I am starting to realize why my grandma was the way she was 😂

[@Atira_]

Yes!! I’m 34 but just the last couple of years I have been caring a whole lot less about what other people think! So liberating really! To feel more comfortable in your own skin. 🙌💪

[@BelleTeteRouge07]

I think this my be my favorite video of yours. I loved the drama of the beginning, the silliness, the seriousness, the overall message. It just... CHEFS KISS 🤌🤌🤌

[@NatalieBennett]

Oh wow!!! Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it 🫶

[@rachelrussell2323]

This video, so fun and honest and relatable, I'm 46 and have put off buying converse even thou I love them as I was told I'm to old, I'm going to go and buy myself a pair❤ who cares if I'm to old. Thankyou

I’ve tried and left capsule wardrobe, a ”base wardrobe” etc. The one video which actually helped me with my closet was one by Hanna Louise Pouston called ”how to match your wardrobe to your lifestyle”. Totally recommend.

[@melaniemoul]

Natalie, I have followed you for many many years, and I’m so happy to have seen the evolution of your content. It’s obvious that you are creating content you love and you’re just so comfortable with yourself. Love it 🥰

[@NatalieBennett]

Haha! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@musicalfish8]

Natalie, I am tearing up at your words of encouragement on discovering your style. The "Maybe I'm all of these people" really struck a chord. I'm struggling right now with my body image and hating the things in my closet because they don't "flatter" me or fit into this idea of who I am supposed to be that has been put into my head by others. You have no idea how much I needed to hear this message. ❤❤

[@sydney6268]

I agree. I am 7 months postpartum and none of my clothes fit, even though I'm at pre-pregnancy weight. My body is just weird proportions now. This video and message within are very timely. On a related note, if you see this, @NatalieBennett what are some soft-waistband pants or dresses brands that you do recommend? Everything seems to fall off me when I walk but cuts into me when I sit.

[@prabhjotkaur3834]

I am in the same boat although I am a mom of 2 boys 7 and 2 but I sometime feels like dressing up like I am 17 but restrict myself because of what others might think of me ?

[@WAMama84]

I’m 3.5 years post partum, almost 40, large saggy BF boobs and I LOVE peasant, boho style and every time I see a piece I love and know I just shouldn’t wear because it’s not flattering on me, I get more depressed. I needed this video for sure.

[@EliseWood]

Amen ladies!!!

[@sarahkleykamp9656]

I got goosebumps and teary eyed with your segment where you wore different styles and jumped back and forth but with a seamless dialogue. You are such a bright beautiful joyful soul.

[@alisonmoore7815]

Of all the videos I have ever watched from you (and it was indeed a decluttering, messy to minimal video I first stumbled across years ago), THIS is my favorite. How freeing, encouraging, relatable, and heartfelt this message is! Thank you for it. It has taken me 30 years to define my style, pare down my wardrobe, buy intentionally, and stop caring what others think. What a journey. But what a destination!

[@donnacorfield1394]

I am 50 and converse are my every day shoe they go with everything. Dresses trousers,jeans. I love them. Be who you are, dress for your personality not your age. Enjoy what you wear and how it makes you feel. I go out of my way to complement people who wear clothes that don’t follow what society says they should wear. You look amazing !! You go girl xxxx

[@gracewalton5479]

You go girl! Mom of four here, and I love wearing Converse. I found a used pair a few years ago and recently wore them out. I found some more used, and at the same time I found high tops, which I had always thought were really cute. They're burgundy Converse high tops, and I absolutely love them. They're so comfortable! And they are actually pretty good quality, they lasted me a lot longer than any of the other similar shoes I've bought over the years.

[@shellyschooler]

I love this stage of motherhood. I've also found the freedom to wear what I feel comfortable in while chasing my boys around. ❤

[@hannahbentson9374]

SO FREEING! I love what you said about having multiple “styles” and evolving and being ok with that.

[@psalm19creations]

I have been wearing Converse since I was in high school, and I'm now in my late 30s. I even recently thought I was possibly getting "too old" to wear them anymore, but then I realized I don't care. I love my Converse and I don't want to give them up. And I have never heard someone use a person's height as a reason to not wear Converse. That seems ridiculous. If you want to wear Converse, you absolutely should. (And you look great in them!) And I completely relate to wanting different looks that are contradictory. The struggle I have is affording different clothing to fit all of those different styles, but I do the best I can. Love your content, and I hope you all have a safe trip!

[@NatalieBennett]

Oh that was always the MAIN reason I "shouldn't" wear them! Height! So crazy!

[@Kris-pw4gp]

Another fantastic video. You just seem to naturally draw me in. You are so open and honest and just comfortable with who you are. I appreciate the way you don't apologize for being you. You continue to inspire me and show how beautiful you are both inside and out. Blessings to you.

[@theevolutionofmama7771]

I’ve been hearing a lot lately “you can be more than one thing” and it is blowing my mind. I always just dressed ONE WAY. Have ONE interest…..I don’t know why it took me 33 years to realize I could dress like a “Tom boy” one day and in a ball gown the next. Love it Natalie.

[@emmathomas1891]

I’m so happy to see you just be you. My mom always taught be to be this way and not worry as much about everyone else. I loved shopping thrift and consignment store and it helped me dress more the way I prefer and not on trend. ❤

[@victoriakaufman1564]

I'm honestly in tears....I needed this encouragement so bad! After having three kids my body had changed so much and all this pressure of society lately to be trendy can be hard. I relate so hard on having different styles. I also hear moms say all the time they get so much more done when dressed for success, but I feel the opposite. Give me an oversized tee and leggings and I will get so much more done around the house and with the kids lol.

[@NatalieBennett]

you are doing awesome! I know that the subject of fashion and clothing and body image can be a really tough one for many of us. You are beautiful exactly how God made you. ♥️

[@kariannkirk]

I really have to agree! If I’m all dressed up I feel like I have to be prim and proper and can’t get dirty 😅 if I’m in a sweatsuit, I can clean and cook and play and it doesn’t matter! I can also relate to body changes after babies. I just had twins the end of December which are babies 5&6 for us and my body has changed drastically from their pregnancy and delivery. All I could wear for weeks is a comfortable waistband and I still am gravitating toward that because of my c section scar. And I’m ok with comfortable outfits but then there are occasions where I’m struggling to find a more dressy outfit to look a little nicer and still have a comfortable waistband. It’s crazy how much we can all relate to this video! That’s Natalie! ❤

[@emcameron9407]

I have to say a very huge thank you to you Natalie. I have suffered and you will agree with enormous abdominal pain for years. High school found me doubling over in pain and told it was appendix. This was untrue. Seeing an episode of you mentioning your syndrome, I asked my Dr. He did some researched and apologized for not thing of that. Now I know how to deal with my pain So thank you thank thank you for sharing your syndrome. If you didn't take a very big risk of sharing your prive and very personal information I would not be as happy today. You are a gem.

[@Bmacklin407]

I absolutely love your closet decluttering videos! Also, your videos are so well made that I watch them multiple times.

[@BallroomJenni]

I always appreciate your realistic approach to these things! I have noticed for me that I have never cared about what is in style, but what feels good on makes me feel confident, and confidence is always in style! Enjoy your trip in Ireland, it is a magical place to visit!

[@abigailg9188]

I could not agree more with everything you said about picking things that bring you joy and are personally applicable to your tastes. I love it when personality shows in a wardrobe and have long held the opinion that people can like it or not, but that really doesn’t affect my enjoyment of an item. Way to go. Thank you for sharing this!

I LOVE free Natalie buying what she wants and not sticking to a capsule! lol I bought a Columbia Inn crewneck off etsy and it brings me so much joy too!

[@twoods2914]

Love this and yes it’s hard to know or find your style as we get older. I’ve moved to a very cold country climate in winter so now have really taken on the perspective of good quality items that actually fit me and make me feel comfortable. This means anything that doesn’t fit now has no place for storing and can be passed on. This frees up mental space and closet space. I also wear same exercise gear each day in different colours as I work from home. There is no decision making required each day. Leaves my mind free for other decisions. These small decisions have changed my life and makes it more simple when purchasing items in the future.

I hope that you and your husband have a wonderful time in Ireland!! Soo exciting!❤

[@jennb8135]

I LOVED the message of this video. I feel this to my core! We have so many different layers to us and what a freeing feeling to just express them all!

[@isadorasmiles9339]

Good for you for getting those chucks👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I can totally relate to this and minimalism has helped in so many ways that I didn’t even realize when I started. I felt like in my early 20s I followed trends too much and choosing bland color palates because that was the thing or I had to dress a certain way now that I’m getting older. But I just realized all those rules like you said were dumb and just holding me back from the person I want to be. I love color and color blocking. I love my air forces in fun color ways. I like fun graphic shirts too. I got the one off etsy that is a skeleton holding coffee and it says “stay’n alive”😂I’ve never felt better and I very much plan to keep pushing my true style when I’m a mom one day ❤ I wanna show my future kid that you really can be whatever you want and being you is the best version of yourself

[@rosannasauereisen2827]

I'm 42 and I'm currently wearing sweatpant joggers and a hoodie. Basically, I'm dressed like my 16 year old daughter dresses most days. Do I dress like this all the time? No, but I enjoy it about once a week in winter even if it is probably too "young" for me. Edited to add: Both of my teenagers now wear converse regularly. I haven't decided I want them myself but I think they look so cute on them!

[@chloeteagardner3448]

I have yet to grow out of my love for converse. It’s my entire shoe collection. Love them! I have been told they’re for kids. But as an adult I see so many adults wearing them and love it! Just do it! Wear what you want and love it

[@laurenharris9510]

You brought out the Pemberly sweatshirt and high tops and I was like... WAIT - is this semi GRUNGE Natalie?! 😂 (had to make use of the interrobang). I love semi grunge Natalie! 😅 Very much my style, in addition to the nerdy/reader empire-waist dress on other days. Depends on the day as a fellow mom of 3 Littles 😅❤ Love it!!

[@aphraell]

Go Natalie! I’m 38 years old and I rock crop tops, jean shorts and converse in the summer. There were times that I thought ‘am I wearing things appropriate for my age’ but then I think oh well I feel comfortable and young in them, who cares about my age. Also the fashion trends brought one good thing this year, 90’s fashion is what I feel most comfortable because I grew up in these clothes. It’s so nice to see you totally embrace your style as well 🥰

[@LaceyLoveWalker]

It's mostly the square neckline. I can't do it either. I think only works with very willowy frame and long neck.

Converse are so classic, I feel like literaly anyone can wear them! My best friend is also 5' and wore converse all the time! Not my personal style, and I think they would kill me high arches, but shoes are shoes folks wear what you want, or wear nothing if you're the really very crunchy type 😆

[@hannahwillson9504]

[@mimirfinn1560]

First, the advert was hilarious! 10/10 🎉 Second, as a fellow neurodivergent mamma with chronic pain issues, you always make me feel so seen. I’ve honestly started thinking ‘what would Natalie say or do about this’ when it comes to a clothing dilemma. You’ve really helped me to treat myself kindly and to intentionally buy the things I need and to give myself grace when something I really thought was going to work doesn’t - helping me to let it go. THANK YOU. 🥰😘

[@simplycorinne]

YES to being true to your own personal style 🌟 We are the same age- my kiddos are almost all school age so I finally feel like im getting out of the trenches of raising small kiddos. The past 7 yrs have been filled with leggings and sweaters as I navigated working from home full-time while raising kids. I definitely lost sight of myself and style. I also recently did the season quiz and found out I'm a true Spring. No wonder I feel happiest in vibrant colored clothes 😊 My closet is now evolving into highly saturated delicate looking pieces (eyelets, ruffles, pearls, embroidery, textured fabrics) and I'm finally starting to feel like my best self again 💕

[@caitlynchamberlain4995]

Love this! I feel like I gradually came to a lot of these realizations over the past year or so. I am a little on the heavier side and have always avoided silhouettes and patterns that are "not slimming." Over the last year I have been experimenting more with some of these styles and discovered that I love the way I look and feel in some of them and I don't really care that they don't make me look smaller than I am. I am working to get back to a weight and activity level where I felt healthier and more able to live life fully, but those are my reasons now, not because I don't feel beautiful at my current weight. Also, 100% on the different styles front. So many find-your-style or curate-your-wardrobe guides act like people only have one style and I have like 3 or 4. I have started embracing that and now I always have something to wear that makes me feel like myself on any given day! Thanks so much for the wisdom and great content!❤

[@Woeschhuesli]

Absolutely! I love capsule wardrobes - but I find most that are online so boring with their neutrals and must-haves, they are not for me! So I enjoy even more when I find a capsule wardrobe or packing video full of vibrant colours such as I myself would use :) And I still love Snoopy stuff (I'm 59) even though where I live it's frowned upon for women of my age to dress frivolously, I do as I like, wear what I like and the only one to tell me "people like us can't wear xy" is my mom, LOL Sorry Mom!! ;)

[@Montanamom247]

I love what you have said in this video about wearing what makes you feel good & not listening to the "style " of the moment. I'm 56 & in the past three years have FINALLY learned that lesson. I guess its true, once you hit 50 you just don't care whats in fashion. Its truly about what comfortable & what brings a smile to my face. I LOVE LOVE LOVE purple but didn't have many purple pieces, because I had heard "you should have a rainbow of color" in your closet. Not anymore. My new rule is... If purple is an option, then its always purple. LOL I LOVE my wardrobe now. I also love what you say about "investment" pieces. Quality is pricey but it lasts. I wish all the young people could see your video on this. I know it would have helped me in jr high trying to find my style , when trying to fit in. Hugs ~Samantha

[@Conval-wi5eh]

I love that Natalie occasionally talks about her struggle with her abdominal migraines. A few days ago I got my period and I had VERY bad cramps. I know that jeans and honestly all kinds of pants (even sweat pants) worsen the pain, so I wore a dress and tights two days in a row. My partner noticed because I rarely wear dresses, we talked about the topic and I mentioned that one of the youtubers I am watching cannot wear normal jeans at all. While I am blessed to to only struggle with pants one day a month, Natalie's story helped me to notice that pants actually can be a problem when dealng with abdominal pain. It also helped to feel normal with my struggle. And I am glad to know that there is another option out there should this condition ever get worse (e.g. after a pregnancy).

[@wheelchere]

At 67, I wear comfortable clothes that make me feel good and I almost always wear a good pair of sneakers, even with some dressy/casual clothes.

I found a Kelly green pair of high-top chucks in a thrift store one time and SNAGGED them up. 37 year old, 5 foot tall. 😉 My foot grew when I was pregnant and I had to get rid of like 90% of my shoes, bummer, so I no longer have them. My feet feel way too squished in converse these days, so I won’t be rebuying them, but rock whatever you love! I love this message! I love complimenting people wearing stuff that catches my eye. It makes the world joyful.

YES!!!! I hear you! "Other people's opinions are none of my business." is one of my favorite mantras.....

I stopped the seasonal rotation a few ears ago as well. It really helped simplify life with many seasons! I would have that bin just sitting out when we’re transitioning between seasons, then packing for vacation. So much easier now.

This was just what I needed as I struggle to find my own style. You have the cutest personality and my son and I love watching anything you do! 🥰

Even your ads have a distinct natalie warmth to it but i must say the humor takes the prize! 😅

I laughed, I cried, it moved me, Bob. This video is exactly what I need right now and I am so deeply thankful for you, Natalie.

Thank you for your comments about following one’s own wants in dressing etc. I am so tired of people having, and expressing, what they think I should wear or how many of what I should own. I am a minimalist is some aspects and the opposite, a collector, in other things and I don’t think I should worry about people thinking I have to many teapots or tea sets. I love them use them and that’s that. I am glad there are now comfortable jeans out there for you. I have such a hard time finding jeans and pants that fit me properly, that when I find one I get multiples and in different colors if they have them ).

My mix and match solution? Two sets of “color themes”. Warm and cool. All the warm things can go together, all the cool things can go together, and some can even mix and match
