Have to tell you about my day today. I was wearing a linen button-down shirt, half - tuck, and my co-worker , who is more than 25 years younger than me ( I am 56 ), said that I look so fashionable, she said that she is looking forward to see what I am going to wear every day and it's obvious that I love fashion! ❤️ Thanks for your hard work. It's not going unnoticed 😊

[@taylorrussell8883]

Kay, you looked extra pretty today. I love your hair and that jacket is beautiful. The color makes you shine.

[@Anagrams458]

Yes! Came to say the same.

[@donnatregaro7375]

Thank you!😊

[@beckymeyer4789]

Yes! Love your hair in this episode. Can you tell us your style tips?

[@user-ox7mj8xi2s]

The little jacket you’re wearing is so flattering - the cut and color suit you! The Anthropology dress is striking as well. Can’t not mention your hair - A+!❤

[@DressedforMyDaywithKayHarms]

Thank you!! I have really enjoyed the new Anthropology dress.😊

[@maryokeefe5351]

Thanks Kay. You look particularly lovely today! Great hair. Also love that jacket you are wearing. If you don't mind me saying, a well-defined shoulder like that really suits you. Many women benefit from shoulder pads if they start to lose shoulder definition as the years go by. Makes everything hang better. You are positively glowing today!

[@magdlynstrouble2036]

Kay looks incredibly sharp in that jacket! There's just something about it! She looks skinnier and younger somehow!

[@tamaraeppley6426]

Your hair and outfit today is even prettier and more flattering than ever! You look amazing! Have fun in Alaska! God bless you!

[@JacquelineLuciano-ss3ls]

Love your hair today. How about a styling tutorial? Thanks!

[@mariecurie7491]

I live in Sicily where summer is starting. Should you be heading this way, think linen linen linen. Cotton or silk just won't do in the high humidity. Jeans are unbearable. Wear loose shorts or long pants. Skirts (and sunhats!) can be tricky in the wind. Forget heels - pavements can be rough. Please don't go round with the silly little backpacks that scream tourist. Leather handbags are also impractical in the heat. Wait until you get here, and grab a woven straw bag at reasonable prices from a market. I can't believe how much designers are charging for putting on a patch with their name on!

[@cindywatson3083]

I’m curious about weather in Sicily in mid-May. I read that it’s still cool. Is that accurate? Cruising the Mediterranean in May.

[@mariecurie7491]

@@cindywatson3083 generally, May and even June can be variable. This year, the heat is starting early - like, TOMORROW! And we have scirocco, bringing sand from the Sahara. Sicily is bigger than you would think; different zones can have different weather. I can only suggest light layers, including a light raincoat. Forget wool and cashmere. I have a friend who used to pack a cashmere sweater - it never came out of her suitcase. A light scarf or pashmina could be useful: I imagine it can be breezy on a cruise ship

[@marilyncoburn4936]

Great advice! I am going to England and waiting to buy a couple of things there that help me blend in.

[@carlsenlifeafter60carlsen11]

I agree with you completely. I live in the hot California desert where it’s over 100° every day. We are now in the upper 90s and it’s only going to get hotter. I wear linen dresses from Amazon that are very reasonable. I wear a light linen shirt over the dresses if they’re spaghetti straps. I don’t want anything tight on shorts or pants. I often we are tank tops that are cotton and linen pants ,dresses are my favorite when it’s over 100°.😊

[@mariecurie7491]

Wow, thank you!😊

[@pennygrassedonio2243]

Loved the video today. You have a glowing look so the Alaska trip must have done its job! I absolutely am thrilled with the way to tie the shirt in the from - how cool is that. I cannot get on the band wagon with the button up part of the shirt tucked. It just looks like we are trying too hard. The clothes you show really work well together.

[@donnaschindlbeck7457]

I’ve recently purchased or made some basics in linen. So comfortable to wear on a hot sticky day! I am one of those shoppers who buys things because I like them only to discover I have nothing to go with them! That’s a work in progress for sure. Thank you for another wonderful and timely video Kay!

[@anitaclemens2609]

Thank you, Kay. BTW, you look beautiful today. Your hair looks fantastic.

Great video! Super classy and I love your hair!

Tha m you for being here!😊

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I live in linen dresses in the summer, they’re the only thing I can stay cool enough in on a really hot day. They are a lot of work to iron, but it’s worth it. I iron them carefully, then forget about the creasing while wearing them. I just got a beautiful navy shirtdress from Ralph Lauren to add to my collection, so now I have all my neutrals plus two colors, a pink and a light green.

[@meditationgodsway1834]

[@teacherstreet]

Great video! MM Personal Styling is another of my favorite channel, and she definitely emphasizes white as well. I gave it a try and it’s CHANGED my fashion life! So many more compliments now!!! You look lovely, and YES your hair is A-Maz-Ing! ❤ from Iowa

[@annettepellowe9847]

I’m seeing allll the compliments on your hair and look today! Wow I so agree!

[@dianecyment1715]

I love neutrals because you can style these in so many ways. Your dress choices are so classic. I have the same blazer and linen Bermuda shorts from Talbots that I purchased last year in both white and navy. They are so versatile. By the way, your hair style is absolutely beautiful today. Thanks for all your style inspiration.

I just bought some amazing linen shirts and a pair of linen shorts from Old Navy! Love the feel and look of linen - wrinkles and all!

[@roxannegordon6162]

It's those wrinkles that drive me NUTS! After I wash that linen the itme turns into a saggy shapeless blob. I've given up.

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I love wearing blazers. But, Talbots linen blazers are lined with polyester! I much prefer Quince linen blazers, they’re lined with 100% cotton and are beautiful. I just don’t see the point of wearing linen if it’s lined with plastic.

[@TheCJTok]

Have you tried to wash your Quince blazer? Their other linen pieces are washable but it says their blazers are dry clean. I can’t afford dry cleaning.

Great video. As a retired 75 year old, I have trouble finding the super casual cotton pants for walk the dog and everyday wear. I have the wonderful ankle length pants in linen and cotton blends, lots of jeans etc. They are too nice to wear in the hot humid weather in Houston. I no longer feel comfortable in shorts. I have plenty of casual nice outfits for going out to lunch, doctor visits, etc. BUT nothing much for washable super casual otdoor days. Also.. my wide length black linen pants seem so " off " for summer. Wore them with a cute verical black/ white top for l7nch wi5h my sister but did not seem summery enough?

[@missymosquito1256]

Any suggestions for an option to the blazer? I am a plus size short gal with broad shoulders and an apple belly. I have a tendency to look masculine and blazers really make it worse. I love them on other people but they just look so masculine on me.

[@cynthiajohnston424]

I prefer softer fabrics or gathered / ruched or 3/4 sleeve ; light / pastel colors or w/ pastel color / print top under ( but not a " masculine " buttondown " shirt ) . Simple things to soften a classic look .

[@pamela3722]

This was a great video. I have most of the essentials. But living in Georgia, with three small dogs, I don’t wear a lot of white. Because it’s been raining so much and our yard isn’t great. And I have ruined a few white things already. I do buy an oatmeal or beige. But I have to be careful. I have a white linen blazer. I don’t think I’ve worn it yet. Maybe I will move it into my other closet. So I can see it. I live a very casual lifestyle and mainly just wear denim shorts and t shirts. I did go to my grandson’s school today for a program, and I wore my denim shorts and a white Iinen shirt. And I wish I would have taken a jacket. Because the air was really cold. I was happy when it was over and I could go outside.

[@golfgirl4211]

You should list all your measurements, so we know what to aspire to. The dresses look amazing on you. Thank you. Oh, one more thing, as far as your blazer goes, it is gorgeous. I see very similar blazers in different lengths at White House Black Market. JFYI.

[@lynnettedavis7010]

I'm a new listener to your channel, and really enjoyed this video. I absolutely love the J Crew Elena shirtdress that you showed. In reading the reviews, several people stated that they sized down one to two sizes. Did you find the sizing that way?

I love your hair especially in this video. Are you naturally straight or wavy? If straight, I'd love to know how you style with the wavy. I guess I've been a contrarian as I've always preferred a small, curated, fine jewelry collection. I have 4 necklaces (2 white gold and 2 yellow gold) and a strand of pearls that I wear on repeat. I have 6 pairs of earrings that my husband has gifted me over the years that I love and wear also. I love to wear the pieces that "spark joy" on repeat.

[@lorenadugan6355]

Fabulous video.

[@brendahankins7871]

One objection I have with graphic tees is that it draws attention to the bust instead of the face.

[@cynthiajohnston424]

Agree ! However , I like a very simple graphic tee under a jacket / blazer for a hint of " interest " or color , especially w/ jeans . One of my favorites is a " Black Dog " logo tee showing a silhouette only , no writing . ( Yes , I'm a black Lab & rescue dog person ! 🐾🐾💙 )

[@lorenadugan6355]

I am n looking for a well made, long to my palms, tailored jacket that is neutral (not beige or white) that is benign enough to wear often. My go to was Ellen Tracy, then Linda Allard for Ellen Tracy. I don’t love shopping and most influencers are short. I’m 5’9, not a tooth pic.

[@barbararees3304]

Love the reminder that wrinkles are cool. lol. I really struggle with some of the graphic tees. A random saying or address of a store seems silly. When someone asks me what my shirt means, it’s like duh? Just my opinion

[@user-ki2do3qj8w]

I tend to agree. I’m not a big fan of graphic tees, especially branded ones (“Chanel”) as they draw attention to the garment and not the overall look. And they’re much less versatile, especially if they include bright colours.

[@g.flesch9731]

Do not wear tees with sayings. Saw a tee that included the F word worn by an adult woman. Horrible
