Hey guys! Discount code & links in description ✨ I ended up gifting the tennis bracelet to my mum for an early mothers day present! (It was so hard to part with but she deserves it! 🥰) I’ll share a little video of me giving it to her on my instagram soon 🥰 I have intentionally shared these tips with an emphasis on always taking into consideration your own personal style because I think that’s really important. I hope you find this useful! Lots of love ❤️ x

Great tips, and I feel the same about belts. One thought about the "can I wear it with 3 things" guideline: this works if you have an almost full wardrobe that works for you. But it can be paralysing for someone who hasn't looked after their style for years. I used to be in that spot and wouldn't buy anything ever because I didn't have anything to wear with anything, and I got stuck for a long time.

Great tips and reminders. I have gotten rid of things too and have regretted it. I try to be careful so I don’t end up trying to replace things I got rid of earlier. Your style doesn’t necessarily change as you get older but how things fit does so adjustments in some things are needed. I have always had a retro vibe and I probably always will. (I’m 59 this year)

I have a note in my phone with the measurements of my favourite fitting garments + for my husband’s favourite clothes as well. Then I take a measuring tape (on my key ring) when I go shopping/thrifting. I avoided many a tight trousers 😅

[shanelnelle]

So agree with you about "dress for your age" talk. I am the one that goes against that as well. I love wearing something that's suitable for me, not only for the sake of my age. I am the one who can decide what to wear, not anyone else, as long as it fits my look and my style.

I have the same feeling with belts! 😀 and just discovered your channel, will keep watching! ❤️😀

Such a nice video! I really like your content and also your prsonal style, I get a lot of inspiration by you! The one mistake, to buy without plan, I really did a lot in the past and sonetimes it still happens to me when I see such nice peaces around. But as you say, it makes a huge difference when you stop this habit compleately. A really good tip is to go in shops, try on some things without buying it and then go home an shop the own closet. We all have so many things at home, so it's hard to wear them all during one saison. It's only the fun of something new that I am missing sometimes, but I'm working on me to minimize that as much as possible... 😉😊

I'm not a belt wearer either with trousers or jeans. Maybe with a dress sometimes.

[vivianmakri]

I totally agree about belts! I feel the same!!!🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯

Loved the tips😊

Some clothes, not all of them, with puffy shoulders are great for women with an inverted triangle figure. Once in a while I felt very lucky to have tried them on and they have become some of my most favorite chlothes to wear. Mostly they are kind of cropped, at least the waist is accentuated a bit over the middle.

I just turned 30 and i had your thoughts too, but i didnt get rid of anything, one my face looks a bit young so the "grown older woman conservative looks" i was gojng for would be laughable, someone would think i was a young person trying to play pretend. (So i was in a dillema for a bit because i knew this but also thought "i have to dress like a 30 year old" )

Next i was like...how is a t-shirt and jeans not for a 30 year old? (That's what i mostly wear haha, but I've been trying to branch out) I then refound my favourite "out there" fashion youtubers (street style, tom boys etc, ex fashion editors who keep up with trends) to remind myself older women have different styles too and i was thinking of a particular style and personality when i thought about being over 30.

Finally i realised we can wear the same thing as we grow older, it just becomes more refined, a teenager might wear wide leg jeans that drag across the floor sweeping the debris and germs of the street because "fashion" (guilty as charged), a 30, nay an 80 year old might wear hers an inch or more above the floor because at that age " function plus fashion".

[flamingofan]

Great tips!
I definitely don’t dress”my age”, but there is a point where items like crop tops and mini skirts just look silly, or like a person is trying too hard to not look old.
You are definitely not at that age! Lol! You’re still just a youngin!
😊

[kristinadutton]

I don’t like to wear belts either and tried SO HARD. There are few styles that work for me.

[moiraberniegatt]

Oh the red dress REALLY suits your skin tone. Gorgeous

[racheltegart]

Emily what a great video thank you.
Loving your hair too

[suzanschneider]

All good tips! Fun to see your son and Fanta. I like the suggestion to go try on stuff without intending to buy. I’d add: Take photos of the try-ons from about 5-6 feet away.

[tracythomas]

I haven’t alway but lately I’ve been struggling styling my jewelry. More specifically my watch with bracelets. Can you do a video on that?
