Summer Basics 2021

[@noemischuler3787]

Yaaaassss i love these types of videos! More please, basic summer outfits or how to style for summer!

[@tabithabarbour4404]

I love your videos! You make it really simple on what to purchase and how to build cute outfits. I’m watching your video while getting ready this morning.

[@lambibi414]

Terrific summer information! Glad to see I’m already half way there. I love my denim shorts and I was always nervous about wearing them at my age (57 in days), but why not I’m a confident woman!

[@FashionWithShannonA]

If you love them and you feel good wearing them, Cheryl, then you go for it!! :) Shannon A.

I love a simple white runner with some height to it.

Having a coffee, sitting in my living room and excited to watch your video! I'm in Newfoundland and we've had 7 straight days of freezing rain, drizzle and fog....so in actual fact, you're the brightest thing I've seen all week😄.

[@KimXO]

Oh no! Well the coffee sounds nice :) I’m glad to be your bright spot on a cloudy day! Kim xo

[@LynnIPoor]

Watching on a relaxing, lazy Saturday, lingering in bed with the window open, enjoying unusual 75 degree weather in Maine in April. Heavenly...almost feels like a vacation. 🌞👍🏻

[@pappyone6062]

Tory Burch has amazing summer flat sandals in so many colors. Their Miller sandals are the only fancy flip flops that are beautiful and actually so comfortable! They are amazing quality amd although not really cheap, they are not as expensive as the Gucci ones.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

You’re so sweet to share your styling expertise with us. I’m loving the crisp cotton and linen and soft silk shirts, too. I love LilySilk, it’s the only brand I have a dedicated monthly budget for, if I have money left, I buy some food! I just bought nearly all their patterned ones (both leopard colors, a striped and a windowpane check), too, they are great outfit-makers. The have a great silk slip dress, with bra-friendly tank straps, that I love - I’ve been looking for one for a decade because I can’t go braless in public. It does amazng things for the figure! I wash all my silk items on my gentle machine cycle, too, then hang-dry. I just keep an eye on the seams, silk has a tendency to fray.

[@kristakaloides1969]

Coffee! Love this video. A good save for gold hoops is The Kendra Scott Maggie’s! They come in 3 sizes so something for everyone

[@biljana5700]

Hey. Morning time, coffee, tons to do but I saw this video and now I took the time to watch it in peace. Great suggestions, I love them all. The only problem is it still doesn't feel like spring around here cause it's cold and murky every day. And yes, the basics are always the most popular because we need more casual everyday outfits that come together effortlessly and still look great. Love you, thank you, bye.

[@KimXO]

Hope you had a great morning and enjoyed your coffee ☕️ It can be difficult to envision spring when it is murky but you will wake up one day and all of a sudden it’s nice. I always think it’s nice to be prepared! Thanks for watching and saying hi! Kim xo

Drinking tea and emptying the dishwasher 😆 in North Bay ON. It's a beautiful sunshiny morning! 🌞

Drinking coffee enjoying your video @ Florida! Perfect ideas 😍 love it!

[@pappyone6062]

My golden goose runners. One pair with a navy blue star and silver back amd one pair with rose gold star and back tab. My pairs aren’t very distressed so they are white. I wash all my non leather sneakers in the wash. Works great!

[@EvaGiannina1]

White sneakers ; converse, air jordan 1 and Air Force 1 😍

[@dervillapower2594]

Love all your videos. So helpful! My Splurge runners are gucci and my veja runners are my basics.

[@Melaniexb1]

I love every suggestion! Thank you for all the examples! Sitting here with my glass of wine! Relaxing!

[@KimXO]

Nice! I hope you enjoyed your wine! What kind was it!? Kim xo

[@debbiedaniel9774]

Kim, you are looking gorgeous! Great video...I warmed up for my run while watching!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I agree, shoes are so important, they set the tone of the outfit.

[@JanetCourtneyJCInteriors]

Awesome video Kim and love the information! Thank you so much! I love your honesty and how real you are. Happy spring to you!🌷😎

[@jenniferbriski567]

Thanks for the video Kim, it's actually warm enough in Michigan right now to wear I was watching with the windows open and a warm breeze blowing through the house!

[@KimXO]

That sounds so nice! I hear Michigan is beautiful:)

Hi Kim- Def one of your fan that love your Basic videos.... always inspires me and honestly I have alot of these items in my closet just need to freshen them up! I am listening while sipping coffee and taking a break from work. Love from CT XO

[@lindsayculver2855]

I have the white Rothy slip-ons and LOVE them!

[@leanneboyd-sandelli9747]

Awesome video, thanks Kim!! I missed you these last few weeks - you always make me smile! Hope you are well, my friend! 💞

[@ColleenJoudrey]

My favourite white sneakers to date are my P448 John sneakers and the GGDB Ballstar. I also have an older pair of Lotto Leggenda sneakers that get alot of use when I'm going someplace that might damage my "fancier" ones. I'm a bit of a sucker for white sneakers.

[@kaceykent2269]

Another great video Kim. I am watching from Jamaica. It is the start of the rainy season. It has been raining all week. I am snug in my bed watching the video.

[@ShawnKentHayashiTPDG]

This was so helpful! I went and identified each of the items in my closet as you shared them! I can also see where the fill in gaps are. Thank you for all your work for us!

[@dottkov]

Good Morning Kim, from partly sunny Kalamazoo, Michigan! I am enjoying coffee while watching your video and taking notes to use for inspiration at work. Also taking photos of my mani to post on Insta, haha. Always enjoy your videos! I discovered you after you commented on an outfit I posted on Insta, which was just a brilliant way for you to find new followers & has always impressed me.

[@badenixe8669]

I m travelling back home in the train, love to watch your videos 🥰

[@KimXO]

Thank you! I am glad we are traveling together:)) Train from where! I need details :) Enjoy the ride! Kim xo

[@badenixe8669]

So pleased you are interested in what I m doing 😍 Sorry for writing back this late... i went from Samnaun -at the end of switzerland- back to my home at the lake of constanz, 4 and a half hours 🙈 How are you today? 😘

[@elinianenfisk2487]

Im cuddled up in my bed drinking coffee, and im anxious about summer clothes because ive gained quite a lot of weight (weight now is 200lbs...) due to medication and being really sick for some months... But I like this video and hopefully I can find something to feel comfortable in this summer, at least I have to give it a try.

[@shearsparkle]

You’re not alone! Fingers crossed you have the BEST summer feeling the most confident you ever have had! 💛💛💛

[@shearsparkle]

For white sneakers- adidas. Hands down my go to. I need to replace mine. I’ve had them for about 4yrs now and they’ve gotten holes on the inside towards the top from how much I wear them.

[@donnacopley4332]

TAOS! Love them! Awesome insole. 💕

[@user-ec2zb3zu9d]

For white sneakers, i love: Mason Garments, Nubikk and Michael Kors.

All great brands!

Yay Kim. You're back! Missed you this last month. Great summer basics! I need a new summer hat and can't ever have enough denim shorts! 🙂 Need suggestions on great strapless bra for large chest and swim cover ups. Thanks!

Morning. Sitting freezing on the deck in Hertfordshire, England but longing for a time to wear your fab basic suggestions! Love them all and i need to overhaul my summer wardrobe. Please do keep including sustainable examples when listing brand names as it helps me with searches.

[@KimXO]

👋🏻 Hi to you over there in England! I’m sorry it’s cold! Hopefully it warms up there soon 🌞 Thanks for the info on the sustainability examples. I will definitely try to keep doing that! Kim xo

[@steffihennig3915]

Hi Kim, right now I‘m starting my sunday with a Latte Macchiato still lounging in the bed and enjoy that video, I’m really into it and love the suggestions, it already gives me some motivation and summervibes! Thank you for that. 🤗 And yes I am also gently washing my Lilysilk blouses in the washing mashine and it works great! Greetings from Berlin, Germany Steffi

[@KimXO]

Hi Steffi! That’s good to know you put your Lily Silk in the wash too. The quality has been good on my pieces. I have been happy with them. I hope you enjoyed your Macchiato! Thanks for saying hi 👋🏻 Kimxo

Great video Kim, I’m just having my breakfast tea watching it here in London:) we will have shops opening tomorrow again (after lock down) and I will definitely go and have a look for nude sandals! X

[@KimXO]

Hi! Congratulations on shops opening! That’s great news. I’m so happy for you guys :) Let me know how the trip went and if you found shoes? Kim xo

[@shearsparkle]

For hoops& jewelry I would recommend checking Macy’s website on their clearance section. I’ve found some amazing pieces there! Also drinking water hanging with the kiddos at home ☺️

[@KimXO]

Drinking water 💧 and hanging out at home is one of my favourite things to do! Thanks for the Macy’s tip! I actually was just in the Palm Beach Macy’s and found some great things! (Including a suitcase I needed for our $79!) xoxoxo

[@shearsparkle]

@@KimXO that’s an amazing find for a suitcase!!!

Great tips, except that in Australia we’re in autumn, any chance of a video about essential wardrobe items for winter 2021?

Hi! Right! You guys are opposite! I have one that I did for us here. It will be valid, it’s new! Check that one out! Kim xo

Just told my husband that I probably will be an old skinny lady wearing a denim shorts. I just love them.

Thanks Kim! Great video, on trend yet very practical, nod to comfort video. I'm 5'9" 140lbs, inverted triangle like you. I'm just not comfortable with shorter shorts (nice legs, but have a lot of veins inner thighs.) What do you think about a Bermuda, jean short?

[@shearsparkle]

That would look so cute!

[@williamsdebbie]

Can you share the Link to your dress?

[@bodyandsoul17]

My favourite trainers/runners are all white leather converse platforms. They literally go with everything in my wardrobe. Can you wash the leather ones in the washing machine? I'm watching from London (still in semi-lockdown here, but shops re-open tomorrow).

[@KimXO]

That’s so exciting that everything opens for you! Yay!! I threw two pairs of mine in the washing machine and they are fine...but if not just wash the laces and give them a wipe down with Vim or Mr. 🧼 Clean! Xo

[@shaemorr]

I think I have said this before, you always post things that are so short (jean shorts) There are so many great versions of the just above the knee length denim shorts out there. From super casual to classic. I have long legs and I think they look pretty good, I am also over 50 and other than the beach or my back yard I think short shorts look tacky on women over a certain age. Style is subjective I know and if you like it wear it. There are just so many women who are looking for your style advice and there are so many different options for all the ages and body types ;)

[@lunes-1]

Great video,keep it up!⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛💠

[@FashionWithShannonA]

This may sound terrible, but... my sunhat (I'm wearing it here in my icon) I found at Dollarama for ... $4.00!!! _Love it so much!_ -- Great suggestions, Kim - thank you! :) PS: You've possibly already noticed, but the "popping" sound keeps knocking out your vocals. :( It may be the space that you recorded this video in that caused the original low audio... (beautiful set, mind you!). I hope it doesn't sound like I'm complaining! It's just such a bummer when we know that you've put a ton of work into the video and then it doesn't have all the magic that it should. -- Hugs! Shannon A. :)

[@pretty_things_styling]

I wash nearly all my clothes in the washing machine. (Um... full disclosure, sometimes to their detriment. Items that have suffered and shrunk: items containing viscose and some of my cashmere sweaters with a loose knit.) I successfully wash all my silks in the machine, and I have a TON of silk clothes, all different forms of silk. I always wash them in a lingerie bag on a delicate cycle (max 400 RPM spin), take them out and wrap up in a towel to sop up the excess water and then hang to dry. When I'm REALLY concerned about items, I double-bag them - in a small lingerie bag, which I then put that in a bigger lingerie bag that contains other items as well. I HATE washing by hand and try to avoid it, and the chemicals involved in dry cleaning freak me out.

[@susanward7681]

I loVe maxi dresses but I have such a hard time finding any that fit my height. I'm 5 10 ,do u have any suggestions. Thank you so much for all your hard work on these videos. Stay safe
