Lydia, I enjoy your videos so much! Here's why: First of all, your style is so timeless and classic. You provide such substantial content in your videos. You talk about the quality of pieces and why you chose the fabric (i.e. merino wool for layering), and provide several examples on how to style one piece. You talk about the choice of footwear with your outfits and how to change it up. You talk about cooler temps and how to add practicality to the outfit. I could go on and on - You are SO very talented! I look forward to your uploads everyday so I don't miss anything! Remember, keep being you!

I love how you encourage us to make the capsule wardrobe our own.

I have a large bosom and wider shoulders, so turtlenecks never suited me. I learned that my version would be a fitted merino wool v neck cardigan or light knit sweater 🤗

Great tips LJ! And still relevant for this season (fall 2024)

You look stunning in some of these outfits. Great pairings as usual. Love your style and videos!

I was hoping you would touch on the very outfit that you're wearing. I do love the white/butter/navy combo. I also like grey/taupe/ shades as well - the earth tones. Thanks for the lovely /tasteful tutorials.

I don't have a capsule wardrobe (I'd never be able to limit myself), but I often use a capsule wardrobe idea for travelling, it means i can pack less, but still be versatile. I do use some of the ideas though - I do have a limited colour palette, its not all neutrals, as I love colour - I stick to navys, creams, reds, burgundy, and pretty much every blue, with the odd piece in warm beige. Reds and the brighter blues are accent colours, but creams, navy, and more muted blues are my mainstay colours. I do try and make sure my pieces will mix and match with other items, and I've definitely started asking myself if I have something similar before buying.
I think my way of dressing, is like having several capsule wardrobes within one larger wardrobe - it works for me, even more so as I track how much I wear things (I can then try and work out why I dont wear certain things, despite them being perfect on paper).

A 10/10 style video! Very practical and wearable pieces and neutral enough to work with other pieces in your wardrobe! These kind of videos are my favorites! Much love…❤🎉

Hi Lydia, I love all the outfits and ideas you showed. All so timeless and versatile. Ageless indeed as I’m also up in the 60s but easily can take your ideas on board and wear them. Brilliant as always looking forward to your postings. Thank you so much 😊

[velmasmith]

This is another one of your best videos, love watching them and your choices are immaculate.

[amyhutchinson]

I love your capsule wardrobe videos because it helps me see how to buy ONE or TWO pieces to add to the very small investment wardrobe I’ve got to try to expand my outfits a lot!!

I am confused by comments about coats dressing up or impacting an outfit in any way. I want my coat to look nice but to me it has little to do with what I wear under it. I put my coat on in my house, get in my car in my garage, drive to my destination & within 2 minutes, I am inside the building with my coat off.

If you forget about the number of items a typical capsule wardrobe has, I think you could definitely have a capsule wardrobe. I feel like your staples mix and match really well and you’ve such a cohesive colour palette. When I started with capsule wardrobes I tried to stick to the “33 items” but now I probably have more like 50-60 per season but they all follow the same style and colour palette and everything goes together. Capsules don’t have to be limited or boring 😊

[JenniferJones-kjgi]

Thank you for this awesome video. I love the capsule wardrobe concept. I'm rebuilding my wardrobe with quality pieces.

[alfridaxhafa]

Can you do a wardrobe tour please, i really love your style ❤

[conormaccarrick]

Fab video Lydia. Love your style so much😊

[gracematter]

I love that black skirt with pockets! 😊

[soyearold]

Always so classy, simple and chic. The way I like it.

[kathyesargent]

I would love to see a closet tour. I have a hard time with my closet organizing thanks

[marionannmacredie]

You are so classy in every way that I’ve been longing for that new mic to match your talents 🥂🥂🥂💞
