I’ve always loved white button downs, so I own a lot of them! One frustration has always been the need to iron them, which I’m skilled at doing, but I have to be in the right mood. Recently as I shopped at Walmart, I decided to buy a Time and Tru button down, as recommended by other KZbinrs. It felt like fine cotton, instead of the mainly polyester blend. After washing, I was shocked that I didn’t need to iron it. Great buy for under $15. A great option for those who want to build an essential wardrobe on a budget!

About ten years ago I finally figured out I needed my closet filled with basics and not trendy, cool stuff that isn't practical for everyday professional to casual wear. I'm happy to say after watching the video I'm good. The only item I don't have is a black slip dress but I do have several black dresses that serve my needs well. Thanks for the video and I'll say it too; having the right things in my wardrobe makes getting dressed everyday so much easier. I'll add that it makes packing, for business travel or pleasure easier too.

I absolutely love the Veronica Beard blazer., worth the money. Of course I bought it right before lock down and have hardly worn it but it looks amazing on. Have you tried the matching pants? I just wish VB had more options for the dickeys and some more catered to warmer weather. I am 5’3 and had to have the arms shortened but otherwise it fits like a dream. You and Busbeestyle made me buy it!

I too, at 5'1" , am vertically challenged. I started out with having my Veronica Beard blazers altered until I discovered the Veronica Beard Scuba SCHOOLBOY Blazers. They are cut more for the petite figure. I now own all 3 colors and no alterations were necessary. If you sign up for email on the Veronica Beard website you will receive a 15% off code. I also use Rakuten and received 10% back on my Navy Scuba at Neiman Marcus. Good luck! 🙂

Hi Heather, I love your style and videos. I am trying to stay high quality and basics. Your recommendations are great, but the problem I have is that I am 5-9”, and standard clothing is short on me, tops, jackets and bottoms. Do you have any suggestions on brands that run longer for taller women’, but still have high quality basics?
@chicalertng3 жыл бұрын
Try Express jeans, they come in various lengths, like petite, regular, long and tall and they are good quality and they always go on sale. Also, most NYDJ jeans at Nordstrom (on sale right now), Macy’s, Neiman Marcus have 33” inseam. And I just rediscovered GAP, some of their tops come in tall and their white shirts are lovely and they also come in tall sizes. T-shirts and camisoles are generally ok sizes for everyone. Balmain Blazers come in an oversize style, great for tall ladies, really cute. Also check out men’s section for blazers, some of my favorite blazers and tees are from the men’s section 😅. I am 5’7” by the way! Good luck in your search. 😊

I enjoy your videos. Sometimes it's hard to follow your numbering of the items when you list them. I count 16 items in this video. I can get 17 if you count both black skinny and faded skinny jeans as two separate entries but you discuss them as an either-or item not as two separate entries, so I'm not sure if I missed something else. Not a big deal but it would help if you numbered the items when you list them to follow the numbers in your video. 1. Black blazer 2. black leather moto jacket 3. jean denim jacket 4. army jacket 5. camel coat 6. white button-down shirt 7. white tee 8. white camisole 9. black bodysuit 10. black turtleneck 11. faux leather leggings 12. black skinny jeans 13. light wash straight jeans 14. black slip dress 15. golden goose sneakers 16. black booties 17. ???

I enjoy your videos, but your recommendations are fairly pricey and from companies that most people across the US don't shop with. Even though I can afford them I would never pay those prices. It's just unnecessary and impractical. Just because an item is more expensive doesn't necessarily mean it's better quality. If I have to scout for the cheaper version myself than your videos aren't as helpful as they could be. What you consider the more budget friendly version is more like the expensive version for most women. Something to consider if you want a broader audience for your channel.
