Skinny jeans are the only style of jeans I ever liked. Sorry to hear they're on their way out, but I will never give them up and will wear them till I die! 😊

Thank goodness bike shorts are going! I never did understand that one! Thanks for the tips!

I love your intro when they throw you the leather jacket and you are wearing just a simple white tee and black skinny jeans. Such a cool girl vibe!

[sewaldodiy]

I love the pastel blazer trend and I like the jeans you are wearing it is balance, skinny jeans can make the body even bigger.

Yay...So glad skinny jeans are going away. The were so unflattering on me - I looked like an ice-cream cone. A slight flare or boot cut has always looked so much better on my body. Great Video!!

Hi, Kim. Hope you are doing well. I love the pretty color blazers. Do NOT like Bermuda shorts - have never tried on any that look good on my triangle body...and they remind me of my childhood in the 50s/60s! Not easy to stop wearing skinny jeans, either!

Hi Kim! I love pastel jackets. They are perfect for spring/summer. White jackets are great too. Jackets and blazers really pull an outfit together!

I can’t believe skinny jeans are out. I still love mine

[heathervalentine]

Oh this is so lovely that you want to read all our comments!! I hope I am not too late. I body shape is a cross between a rectangle and an inverted triangle. I call myself an inverted trapezium!! I am 54 so I have had a long time to figure out what works for me and what doesn't. I was in my late 20s to early 30s in the 1990s plus it included my "baby" years. I remember those years - I was there and the rearview vision now looks better than it actually was then. I was just starting my professional career - very corporate style with suits, shoulder pads and pencil skirts then I transitioned to maternity wear, breastfeeding (easy access) and more casual ("stay at home mum" style) clothes. Anyway, I feel now that I have landed on tight fitted tops and more A-line skirts and full skirts. I just love that look for work. I honestly don't think the pencil skirt scenario works for me anymore. I can still fit them as I am still the same size I was when I was 25, but I just don't vibe with them anymore as a more mature woman. I agree about the straight leg and bootleg jeans - they are so elegant. I also think high waisted is a lot more flattering. However, I still have one last remaining pair of white and another of blue denim skinny jeans. They look great with knee high boots.

Oh boy. Pastels were big in Australia 2016. It was like walking into a infant's nursery everywhere at the shops, and I don't look great in them 😂

Hello Kim
I have just found your channel and already binged watched quite few😂
You’re very genuine 👏🙏

[lindacaffalette]

Thank you for your style content & upbeat delivery Kim, as we all need that during this trying time. It seems that the bike short trend really never received much acceptance but I can say that they have served me well. I play a racket sport ( currently restricted 😕 ) and during the warmer weather bike shorts are one of my fav go- to shorts over the past few years simply because the longer length covers up the cellulite on my legs, very stretchy & comfy ( even for lounging at home !!! Thank you 💟💜💟

So glad to hear the skinny jeans are out. My sister is going to cry. 😢. I so enjoy your videos. Your info is so and your energy is infectious!

[akumsenlaaier]

Have not worn my skinny jeans since last year. And I've been buying more of straight leg and wide leg trousers. And I swear, it's the best fashion decision ive made. Even a graphic tee and white trainers with wide leg trousers look absolutely more classy & chic, than with a pair of skinny jeans.

[kerrigibson]

Loving the Bermuda shorts .i do
Still wear my skinny jeans though.. they don’t have to be low waisted. I’m very long in the torso so I can’t stand low rise anything! The shoulder pads are not a trend I will embrace. I’m also an inverted triangle, but I’m 6’2 . Not adding any more width to my shoulders!!
Love your channel and all your videos! Thank you and love from Florida!

[nerissawaters]

Love you help me a lot to organize my closet

[KP]

💕thanks for the tips. Getting the mother jeans in white

[denisearonow]

LOL, yeah the skinny jean thing. You knew this would happen. It's become my basic/classic.

[analys]

I prefer boyfriend jeans, and wide leg jeans. I prefer light long dusters, I owe one black blazer. Living in Florida, blazers aren’t a thing. Purchased a black and white T-shirt with pads, absolutely love them, ordering another two. I purchased them on Zara 19.99, in case anyone is interested. Bermuda shorts purchased those in Chico’s black and white. Super versatile pieces, love them with a square toe sandal and light boho type shirt.
Great video, kudos to you💕

[kayakgirl]

I tapped out at adopt shoulder pads. Uh hell naw!
