5' 2", A cups here. The fashion police will have to pry my empire waists from my cold dead hands. Other than that, you're my favorite style advisor!

[@dimplesd8931]

Preach! Empire is high waisted girl’s friend.

[@AL-bv7jt]

5’6” J cup here. I agree, even for larger ladies, empire waist is comfortable. I wear a lot of different silhouettes but empire dresses are a safe one.

[@tiffystrangebirdbrown6844]

Same. I love them. They look good on all bodies. And I think she's wrong about them being out because "Bridgerton."

[@randah9562]

Empire waist is back on trend for spring summer 2024 featured at Max Mara, Michael Kors and Zimmerman 🎉 I love Empire waist dresses it's such a forgiving silhouette 😊

[@l.5832]

Strapless has been in for the last 30 years. It's gotten to the point that if I see a wedding dress that is NOT strapless, I snap to attention and think WOW!!! WHAT A FANTASTIC DRESS!! Just because it is different! I remember my friend in high school worn 'one shoulder' tops.......that was 1977! 😂

[@olgahein4384]

We had that one shoulder top trend in the 90/early 2000s too. Fast fashion is re-recycling.

[@kokolatte825]

​@@olgahein4384 Yes, 90's fashion was remixed 70's, and the 2000s were well...

[@wendyloo1159]

Easter dresses! That unlocked a childhood memory for sure, my mom would sew us new dresses for Easter and other occasions

[@amandalh60]

This must be a US tradition as we don't do this in Australia....

[@wendyloo1159]

Im from Canada, grew up in the 80s and only my dad worked so we were on a budget! But my mom sewed beautiful items for the 4 kids including winter coats, dresses & even bedding !

[@gardenhappy4]

@@amandalh60 Note she wrote that this is a tradition of the past.

[@blktauna]

lol well I'm out of luck this season. I don't do strapless, one shoulder, bows, fringe, drop waist, babydolls, crochet, slip dresses or ruching. I do want empire but I guess I'm sol... Well my wallet will rest easy for a bit.

[@l.5832]

Well, I'm 65 years old and would look absolutely ridiculous in any one of the 'promoted' trends so I will happily live with what I have.

[@arymhansie]

Me too. these styles are not wearable for everyone.

[@inamisho1]

Me too. I don't like the new trends.

[@had123ish]

I wouldn’t feel great and relaxed in these trends.

[@randah9562]

Empire waist seems to be back in style 😀 I saw it in the spring summer 2024 collection at Michael Kors, Max Mara and Zimmerman 🎉

[@mykarma4345]

I feel everytime there is a new season of Bridgeton, empire waist comes back in.

[@ANNAREID29]

When is the next season?!? Love that show!!! ❤️❤️

[@mykarma4345]

@ANNAREID29 season 3 is gonna be released in 2 parts i think. 1st one in May.

[@ANNAREID29]

[@Rue100]

Empire WAIST ALWAYS COMES BACK IN

[@olgahein4384]

Oh nice, i'll go bring my empire waist dresses back down from the attic then, will be wearing dresses all May long.

[@stacyechelberger]

I’m feeling a midi shirt dress with a defined waist. Maybe a pretty print! Saw one in a shop window and fell in love.

[@eiremerald]

Ok, I see this a lot and I blame marketing. Silk is a fiber. Satin is a weave. They are not mutually exclusive. You can have silk satin, polyester satin, or a blend. Silk can be in a satin weave like a charmeuse, or different, like a noil, or something else, but originally satin was silk before polyester was invented.

[@b.walker5955]

Loved it! I think the success in most of those silk dresses were due to being cut on the bias. Really makes all the difference in the "fall" of the fabric. So complimentary. THANKS Annareid!

[@lillianbowen7408]

You are killing it in that black fringed dress. I love the drop waist dresses too. I'll wear them.I still have two satin "slip " dresses from days gone by. I'll wear them and last year I found a maxi linen black halter dress, which love . I'm wearing that one this summer too. Thanks for keeping me on trend.

[@ANNAREID29]

Love this!! And thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@juliam248]

Thanks for the reminder, I'm invited to a wedding in June, and will have to go dress hunting for the event in a few weeks. Hopefully, there will be lots of comfortable choices.

[@fawn1785]

I dress for retirement. Yesterday, I bought 3 like new super cute tops at Goodwill for less than $9.00. Fashion should be affordable and flexible each season.

[@nathlete87]

I bought 3 crochet dresses for the season 😂, it’s a silhouette that works well on my figure, balanced hourglass. Mine are French connection and free people for any ladies interested

[@tiffystrangebirdbrown6844]

I love bows, it's a great time for them to make a comeback. I have been considering a Rococo style wedding dress covered in bows.

[@lunanwe1018]

Girl, ur hair and makeup in this video!!!!! U look absolutely radiant!

[@rosemarieburns7572]

Thank you!! ❤❤

[@edenise1004]

Glad to see the cold-shoulder and high-low hem leave. I do like the drop waist dresses.

[@jayemb.6595]

Love love love the black fringe dress on you!

[@elizabethpace1591]

You always pull the outfits off so beautifully 🙂

[@Fiat1]

I saw a few neon outfits on the pool deck of our cruise last week & they looked great! So, maybe more appropriate for the occasion.

Love the handbag the converts. Will be my next handbag purchase. Maybe 2 as the pricing is great!!

Great video. Can’t wait to start wearing dresses for Spring & Summer. Just bought a vegan Luna bag from Songmont. Love the versatility of the purse.

Hi Anna! I’ve been loving the rose and bow details lately! 🌹🎀

So fun for spring! ❤️❤️

I don't know about this trend

[@jacquelinemckinney4147]

I love your channel. You always look amazing and so beautiful in everything. Keep on doing what you are doing. ❤😊.

[@nikkiw]

waistline trends are just silly for me because different waistlines are flattering on different bodies. im 5'1 curvy with a large chest and not long legs, lol, if i ever tried a low waist anything id look so abnormal😂😂

[@ANNAREID29]

True! You always need to just go with what works for you! ❤️

[@annapetryk]

That's why they show all trends on sky high, no bust, very thin models. The rest of population woukd look exactly as you described it. Abnormal 😂

[@anncarroll2204]

Simple clean lines. Nothing fussy.❤

[@ANNAREID29]

❤️❤️❤️

[@raquelt5342]

another fun video! thank you! You've inspired me to FINALLY try fringe! I want to purchase the green dress you showed in the bow section but didn't find a link for it? Please help 💕

[@lindaaphillippi7015]

You look sooo good in the black dress wiyth fringe

[@earthangel8399]

This is what we needed

[@julieburkhardt61]

never got into cold shoulder anything. really don't like florals or bows either. but I do like a good shift style that flatters!

[@ANNAREID29]

Same! I always have a hard time finding one that fits my back/chest but when I do they are great! 👍❤️

[@julieburkhardt61]

@ANNAREID29 why is that?? I'm a rectangle shape but have something on top. Shifts are so flattering, but so often are tight across the shoulders and bust.

[@heatherbernard2600]

Thank goodness empire waist are out. I have a large bust so they have always been a no go

[@gardenhappy4]

Summertime is the only time I enjoy wearing dresses. They are such an easy-breezy option. In the handbag promo, can you please tell us what brand is of the brown sweater you are wearing?

[@ARoRSan]

Awesome. 🌹

[@shannonalwaise8398]

I do like bows and florals.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I would love a true-white cotton crochet dress, but they’re mostly ecru. The overwhelming majority are in synthetic-fiber fabrics, too, if not the crocheted part, at least the lining.

[@Ps44445]

For any Aussies interested in the handbags Songmont has a sale on their Aussie website at the moment 👍

[@ritastutler1470]

Hi Anna I love dresses..one and done outfit. I love that black fringe dress on you..reminded me of Karen Britchick. I love your one shoulder and the cut out dress. I just gravitate towards black...but trying to add color too. Great video as usual. ❤❤❤❤

[@F_U23]

Every Time I wear a dress people comment about me being dressed up. They fail to see the simplicity of throwing it over your head, put on sandals and out the door factor.

[@ritastutler1470]

@@F_U23 yes 👍

[@amynichols7501]

I agree with all of this...and I'm glad I never bought "the baby dress". Sometimes even if it's fashionable...you still have to say, NO!! 😂 Great video!! ❤

[@anakulberg570]

Hi Anna, I always watch your videos with great interest and I love your personality and the way you present new trends, in your video you said the big trend this summer is orange, I was watching another fashion blogger and she said the big trend color this summer is ice blue on bags, what do you think?

[@karend.5582]

Quince has a oure silk skinky skirt priced very reasonable

[@AraceliKudrle]

How do you bra the backless dress?

[@Divinenubian]

Love the soma chocolate bag and the black fringe dress. The drop waist dress is cute. I saw them at Old Navy and the gap. I might try one.😊

[@ANNAREID29]

Yes gap has a really cute one right now! I think I linked it ❤️

[@Divinenubian]

@@ANNAREID29 I can't decide what color.i might just get black this time. Love this channel!

[@j9348]

This was great information! And you look as cute as a bug in a rug!

[@stephaniesabourin3248]

Sold is a fiber, satin is a weave of a textile. You can get silk satin.

[@fishincognito]

Maybe I don’t know what a true empire waist dress is, but I feel like I’m seeing a lot of styles that look like empire waist and are on trend

[@dimplesd8931]

They are. The Peplum is back and Empire never goes out of style. It’s like the Mermaid dress. It’s for a body type not based on trends.

[@loboo4936]

Thank you for posting these videos...where can I find the long denim dress with side slits and collar?

[@loboo4936]

Where did u get that picture from really do want that dress

[@marieseiden924]

Love dresses for the summer, but I can't yet find a denim dress that both fits me and that I love. Faking it for now with a denim shirt and denim maxi skirt combos. Black is awesome that it is in style but I know I definitely can't wear it for anything for easter...but I have several dresses that work for the summer otherwise 😊

[@ANNAREID29]

Love the denim on denim look you’re rocking! ❤️❤️

[@ScienceNotSurgery]

Could you link the mini dresses? ❤ for us petites 😊. I’m seeing a lot of full flowy satin skirts - beautiful look with a button down top or tee.

[@heatherstella2528]

Love anything girly 💕

[@ANNAREID29]

❤️❤️❤️

[@melaneephillips8721]

Nice. Could you show stylish things for modest gals who need shoulder and at least cap sleeve coverage and to the knees.

[@shannanberry]

Never did the "cold shoulder" didnt need any help with making my shoulders looking linebackerish....im a crocheter and am working on a dress for myself...

[@tracyrodriguez4793]

Is tiered dresses and skirts out or in?

[@canukmrsben]

Am age 76 and recall wearing many of the styles that were and also, now on trend. On that note; re empire waist-lines (or there about) IMO are perfect for the woman who has an apron tummy so I would not rule them out.

[@radsoulwork8075]

Hi- the videos you point to never show up on my iPhone is it just me? Can you link them in the notes too? Also - I find ruching REALLY doesn’t work to hide anything for me - again, maybe just me, but it always feels like the ruches highlight my bumps in larger ruching folds vs disguising them… and if I go a size up it just looks shapeless 🤷‍♀️. Love your videos as always ❤️

[@user-bw4dw6xv4d]

Where can I find the rust colored draped/rooshed dress from this video?

[@fordfamilyfunds]

I suppose the bow dress from devil wears Prada is finally in style! 😂

[@bethsellers1796]

what is your key to the undergarment for those backless smock waist dresses? I know you're busty like me... so what's under there and has you ready to take on a toddler?

[@amberr6]

Lol just thinking about how cold spring is in New England.

[@mpbeautyinsight]

Oh yeah, in style ~ fit and flare dresses! Pear shape gals unite !! LoL

[@amynichols7501]

I could never wear the shift dresses. I almost bought one but just wasn't in love so ended up passing. Just has never been for me!

[@laurasudderth2060]

I would like to know your thoughts about wearing a black dress to an evening wedding at a winery in May?

[@ANNAREID29]

I personally try not to wear black to a spring wedding unless it’s black tie or cocktail. But if it’s fancy and the dress is a Spring style (and your heart is set on it) I would just pair it with nude or bright accessories (bag, shoes) ❤️❤️

[@maijavilks]

First of all - thank you for creating a good content, it's always interesting to watch! In terms of this video - agree with everything except high-low dress. Maybe it is not amongst the biggest trends, but it's not out of style either. In fact, high-low dresses are slowly coming back, they were seen on the Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2024 catwalks - Maison Margiela, Victoria Beckham and even Chanel considered high-low hemline good enough to show off. Selena Gomez wore high-low dress by Armani recently, probably some other celebrities too (can't remember them all). P.S. Empire waist is a classic, it doesn't really go out of style.

[@terrymurphy9054]

I've never done bows.

[@rebeccar628]

That drop waist dress looks so gorgeous on you!! I have a super long torso so I will pass lol.

[@forgingbridges2737]

Off topic Query: From where did you acquire that Roman Numeral Wall Clock, if I may ask?

[@craftyourwaytopeace]

I don't care for the fringe trim. If it's a little bit it's ok but a lot of it for me, no. 😂 That tan dress & brown dress were adorable! I like SOME of the styles but not all. I don't know anyone that likes everything although I'm close lol. Thanks for another great video!

[@ANNAREID29]

Agreed! Hard to love everything, but always fun to find one or two that work! ❤️

[@cantorshivers5818]

Do you have a one shoulder bra? What brand?

[@vh5342]

Hello, can I ask you if cropped blazer has a long life? I would like to buy one but I am afraid next year I just cry on a money I spent. I am really buying less and only the things that will last

[@kathystclair9485]

My style is classic and probably will always be. When you are short and petite, you don't want to wear items that swallow you up.😮 i had my share of florals in the 90s and do not like them at all. I like you and your content, but there are no trends in this video that Iwould go for. One thing you learn as you become older and wiser, you can still look current and classy without following trends. Anneried, i must say the fringe dress looked beautiful on you. It was not over the top and was tastfully made. ❤

[@cheryl3366]

Love the reviews. Happy to hear dropwaist is back. I find full maxi dresses the gathering around the waist is too much.

[@mariaschwab5231]

Sorry whilst I adore your channel the Luna bag is out of most of our budgets! $300 plus is not reasonably priced. Consider the diversity in your followers.

[@marylhere]

Is the gold covering missing from your button?

[@Patricia-pq4jq]

I love cold shoulder

[@theresaehrichs9149]

I noticed on a few of ur videos,u wear open back, or one shoulder. What bras or tape ? As a big boob girly always looking for better options!

[@CarolynandherClothes]

Love crochet. Loft has one and it’s gorgeous but unfortunately not flattering for me.

I love the looser mini dress look but it totally does not work for me ☹️ I’m an hourglass and if I don’t accentuate my waist (at the right place, dropwaist doesn’t work for me either) I look about 20 pounds heavier.

Same issue for me! Love them on others, but I can’t wear them either ❤️
